~You are the Sarevok I heard about. <CHARNAME> killed you in Baldur's Gate, yes? Well, I have traveled with Bhaalspawn, saw dragons, liches, beholders and drows and now I travel with yet another Child of Bhaal who died once and lost his Essence. Well, I think my life is interesting now!~

~Ha, you are a fool to tell me that! Do you not how to use your brain, child? Think before you speak. If you wish another argument for my presence, just remember that I am one who can protect you in battle. You would not wish to lose that advantage, would you?~
== 1xAE25B
~True. True enough to know some bit of your character, Sarevok. However, now you are our companion - I think you should forget the past. You are a mortal human now and that opens many interesting oportunities. I am sorry if I was too inpolite.~
== BSAREV25
~Do you honestly believe that I feel a need for your apology, boy? I appreciate your words, but I have no need for them. You may be useful for traps and locks and the like, but you are little use on the battlefield as a fighter! You would find better use as a rouge or a bowman.~
== 1xAE25B
~I am not used to bows, Sarevok, but I think I can set some traps, maybe cast some simple spells to destroy enemies defenses. Well, I adventured for a bit with <CHARNAME> and we know how to get rid of that kind of problem, you don't need to bother, Sarevok.~
== BSAREV25
~I find it hard to believe that <CHARNAME> is any kind of commander, as insane as <HE_SHE> is, but I can observe you in battle. We will see where your talent lies.~

DO ~SetGlobal("AeonSarevokTalk","LOCALS",2)~
== BSAREV25
~It is a burning rage that flows in your veins, that surges with the beating of your own heart. It is a wrath that not even the darkest moments of blackest hatred can come close to creating. It is something that a powerless child, like you, and a man, like I, cannot comprehend.~
== 1xAE25B
~A man like me has no interest in that kind of power. It gives birth to a blind pride. For me the profit is not worth the single candle. I am happy without it - I have breath, I have flesh and I can have a whore on my knee. It's fine with me.~
== BSAREV25
~I do not doubt that you need a whore now and then. With no woman here, it is most difficult to control, isn't it? *laughs* As for the power? You cannot comprehend it, puppy that you are.~
== 1xAE25B
~Still, I can bite. If that's not enough - a pity. I will bite if there is a need, if I am going be killed. I will know that I did everything I could. You live with a memory of a past you won't reach again.~
== BSAREV25
~You're wrong, boy. I have left my past behind me. It was a brief set back, under Baldur's Gate. One failure, yet here I stand, alive and breathing. You said that it is a new opportunity. That much is certain, as is the fact that I will fight again. As for if I will fight with or against <CHARNAME>? That is uncertain, all that matters is that I fight once again.~

~Speak plainly, thief. If you must speak to me, speak as a man, not as though you are some great poet with unfinished thoughts or sentences. It is aggravating and no befitting a *man*..~
== 1xAE25B
~It's partly a thing I am jealous of, warrior. You are a well build man, with a strong will to fight and muscles of steel. I have always been like this - with graceful moves but without a strong grasp and powerful punches. I wish I had your strength, Sarevok.~
== BSAREV25
~You are truly still a child. Fine, learn well that if you work, you are not merely 'given' power. You will reach power through your own sweat and blood. Such power is better than anything you could possibly be given.//Another break, to address another subject and some catch up time.// As for stronger... Show it in how you fight. Your words show you are still young, with no power and no hair on your chest.~
== 1xAE25B
~Hey, my chest is not so bare! I... have some hair on it! Well... Ok, so I don't have as much... Heh, I am not even sure why a monster like you didn't kill me. I mean, you speak with me - yes, you are harsh, but still you speak with me.~
== BSAREV25
~I am not used to killing children. Grow up some and you may be worth the effort to fight, perhaps it would look differently, then. Maybe then you would be killed by my hand. An honor, isn't it?~

~Again you are persuade me with a sissy way, thief. I am not sure if you're not the man-like boys. Well, show me then how strong or how pathetic you are. Fight.~

~(Aeon smiles playfully, draws a dagger and throws it in Sarevok's direction. Before the weapon reaches the target, he starts to run with a blade in his hand.)~
== BSAREV25
~(Metal hits metal, a spark appears briefly as Sarevok deflects the dagger with one armored arm. A vicious smile appears. As Aeon runs, Sarevok wraps a rug around his hand, without even touching the handle of a weapon. Sarevok calmly waits for Aeon's attack with the same smile on his face.)~
== 1xAE25B
~(Suddenly changing directions, Aeon tilts to the left and makes a half circle around Sarevok. Altering his direction yet again, Aeon makes the first attack, Flames of Firefly dancing with the thief's movements.)~
== BSAREV25
~(Sarevok, his hand buried in the dirty rug, punches the flat of the sword aside, his bare hand hits the center of Aeon's chest. Years of training prevents the thief from dropping his sword, but it does nothing to stop him from landing flat on his bum.)~
== 1xAE25B
~(Being on the ground, Aeon attempts to make good of the situation and tries to attack the warrior's legs, but Sarevok moves out of the thief's range. A playful smile lights his face as he whispers a word of magic. The rug, wrapped around Sarevok's hand, flares to life as fire catches on the material. Taking advantage of Sarevok's confusion, Aeon's foot connects with Sarevok's knee behind the plate mail.)~
== BSAREV25
~(Sarevok moves stiffly for a moment, before tossing the rug aside, closing the distance and lifting the bard with one hand on his shirt front.)~
== BSAREV25
~Enough. Your attacks are weak, but you're fast and your dexterity would make you an interesting opponent for a goblin. Or perhaps a kitten. (An expression halfway between a smirk and a smile appears as the large man drops Aeon to his feet.) The trick with the fire was interesting and could be useful if you need to escape quickly. Combine your speed and magic, leave the physical fighting to those stronger than you.~
== 1xAE25B
~Still, I will train my hands to make my attacks a bit stronger, Sarevok. I will work on that.~
== BSAREV25
~At last you speak as a man.~

~Tell me, boy, why do you watch me so?~

~I am merely trying to figure out how <CHARNAME> manages to change people so easily. Don't look so scowly, Sarevok, <HE_SHE> did the same to me.~
== BSAREV25
~<CHARNAME> did not change me. I changed myself.~

~Aye, you heard me a-right. <CHARNAME> trusted you to keep track of the gold we carry. Obviously you know something of money, if <CHARNAME> trusts you with our funds.~

~Sarevok, what are you doing? Why are you... Now, Sarevok, I was just being funny...~
