SAY ~<CHARNAME>... I have to thank you for taking me in. I have wanted to adventure, properly adventure, for a long time - I have travelled before, but I've never done anything as exciting as this.~

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Thats quite alright, Illyria. I know what you mean - although travelling in itself is a little exciting, adventuring has always held a certain charm for me. I love the feeling danger gives me.~ GOTO PC1-1
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Heh, no problem. I was more or less forced into adventuring... but I think I like it. I know I like it. The bright, clear mornings when the birds sing gorgeously detailed melodies, and the clouds soar past elegantly... the surprise of what lies over the next hill... the furious arguments over who's doing the cooking. I don't think I could live any other way.~ GOTO PC1-2
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~I suppose you wouldn't have, no. Enjoy it while you can - you never know when one might be speared through the heart.~ GOTO PC1-3

~Ah, so you enjoy the anticipation, the thrill. I can relate to that, in a way... on Evermeet, my friends and I used to take stupid risks, and my friends used to call it 'feeling alive'. I suppose Elves don't feel that way all too often.~
IF ~Race("Player1","Elf")~ THEN REPLY ~I suppose that might be part of it - we Elves live rather slow lives, and our emotions are often less vehement than those of other races. Thrill-seeking becomes almost an addiction.~ GOTO PC1-1-1

IF ~InParty("Jaheira")~ THEN REPLY ~Unfortunately, yes - Jaheira sounds like your mentor, Oralle. She forces me to do the cooking, except when we're sick.~ GOTO PC1-2-1
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Heh, yeah... I usually end up doing the cooking regardless of who's working with me. It's the bane of my life, it really is. (Wink)~ GOTO PC1-2-2

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Jaheira is little more of an annoyance, Illyria. She bothers me constantly, forces me to do things I don't want to, and talks to me at the most inopportune moments. She is one of my closest friends, and nothing will change that.~ GOTO PC1-2-2

== BNALIA ~The simple fact is that you are not a noble, and therefore do not know the hardships peasants suffer. I am in a better position to understand what they need, I think, Illyria.~ 
== B#Illyri ~So as a noble, who's had everything handed to her on a silver platter all her life, you're sayng you understand the hardships of living on the streets as the downtrodden peasants?~ 
== BNALIA ~I... I have been working to better the lives of the peasants all my life! I have done so much for them, given them money and food, and you tell me I don't understand the hardships that are forced upon them?~ 
== B#Illyri ~I suppose your heart is in the right place, but... I think you need to revise how you are trying to 'fix' the situation. It isn't something that will simply go away if you give the peasants money.~ 
== B#Illyri ~Anyway, I think we better get moving, we're not going to rescue Imoen just standing here, are we.~
