@0    = ~(yawn)~
@1    = ~You all right there, Aerie? You look a little peaked.~ [FHF82]
@2    = ~I'm only tired, Faren, but thank you for asking.~
@3    = ~You know...I remember a conversation we once had. You told me I was stupid for trying to help people.~
@4    = ~Yeah, I remember that.~
@5    = ~You said that I wouldn't be able to be strong if I gave so much of myself to everyone else.~
@6    = ~Well, it's true.~
@7    = ~But it isn't. Look at me now, Faren: I am stronger than before, and I have become so because of helping others. It is where I draw my strength, not how I lose it.~
@8    = ~What do you want me to say? You were right and I was wrong?~
@9    = ~I...I d-do not know. I only wished to tell you that it can be done. That you don't have to be scared of being selfless.~
@10   = ~I guess.~
@11   = ~Will you walk with me? I don't want us to be at odds with each other.~
@12   = ~We're not at odds. We've just got different ways of looking at things. But sure, I'd like to walk with you.~
@13   = ~Thank you, Faren.~
@14   = ~So when all this is finished, you're going to stick around with the Order and do Order things, aren't you?~ [FHF85]
@15   = ~Of course I will. And 'Order things' is not how you should put it. My life is devoted to doing work in the Order's name.~
@16   = ~Well, pardon me if I can't say everything exactly how you want it to be! Forget I said anything.~
@17   = ~Hm. It would be remiss of me to not ask of you what is the matter: you are not being yourself.~
@18   = ~I - I'm just thinking. About what we're all going to be doing once we've sorted out this Bhaal stuff.~
@19   = ~I mean, obviously I'm going to go wherever <CHARNAME> does. But what am I going to do by <PRO_HISHER> side? I have no idea. I have no clue what I want to do, and...well. You do.~
@20   = ~I understand the doubt of which you speak, Faren, but to let it control you like this is a weakness. Trust in <CHARNAME> and that your fates are linked. You will find a purpose, but only if you are willing to commit yourself to a cause larger than yourself.~
@21   = ~You've got the Order, <CHARNAME>'s got power and purpose, but what do I have? You guys. And I just have this sinking feeling that once everything's done, I'll be back in Trademeet hanging around and not knowing what to do with myself. I have no clue what I want to do, and...well. You do.~
@22   = ~I understand the doubt of which you speaak, Faren, but to let it control you like this is a weakness. You will find a purpose, but only if you are willing to commit yourself to a cause larger than yourself.~
@23   = ~I guess. That makes sense. I just wish...sometimes I wish it was as easy for me as it is for you.~
@24   = ~It has never been easy, and I trust never will be. Causes should not be the easy path, Faren, for they are the righteous one. You must work for such satisfaction.~
@25   = ~Ugh, I was afraid you'd say that.~
@26   = ~So. What in the hells do you want to do with yourself? Once we've sorted out all this Bhaal business, I mean.~ [FHF86]
@27   = ~I care not. I will go where the fates take me and I will be triumphant in the endeavours I find. I trust in that much!~
@28   = ~Heh, lucky for you to have the confidence in yourself to say something like that.~
@29   = ~Ah, Faren, you don't mean to say you don't think you'd be able to do the same? Look at us! We are mighty men. The world will be open to both of us, it and its treasures, and we will only have to reach out and take what we wish.~
@30   = ~Come now! You have <CHARNAME>, you have your health. You can even return to Trademeet and rub your success in the faces of those who spurned you previously. It will be a freeing time!~
@31   = ~That's certainly one way of looking at it.~
@32   = ~Come now! You have your health, you have your skill. You can even return to Trademeet and rub your success in the faces of those who spurned you previously. It will be a freeing time for both of us!~
@33   = ~That's certainly one way of looking at it. Heh, I can't even imagine what Coprith's face would look like if I rolled in decked out in this gear...~
@34   = ~That's the spirit! Remember there's nothing men like us cannot take, so worry not!~
@35   = ~Hey, I've got an idea.~ [FHF90]
@36   = ~Oh? Should I start brewing you a hangover cure now, or shall I give you the benefit of the doubt?~
@37   = ~Unfair! I was going to suggest you...pick some flowers or something.~
@38   = ~I see succulents, scrub bushes and flowers. While beautiful, I feel no need to take Nature with me, for I am always with her.~
@39   = ~Unfair! I was going to suggest you...buy a souvenir or something.~
@40   = ~My times in these places are fleeting, yes, but I will feel no need to carry reminders of them. My place is with Nature and I will not miss them.~
@41   = ~Okay, let me start again. Ahsdale.~
@42   = ~What about him?~
@43   = ~Hey, there's no need to go all...cold. I get it, I really do, and I've never thought what you chose was such a crime. But surely the time's going to come when Ahsdale's old enough, and he'll turn around and say "Hey Dad. So where were you when I was a kid?"~
@44   = ~He's going to be mad at you, I think we both know that. But I was thinking that if you keep a collection of stuff from the places we go, you can turn to him and say, "I was in these places. I was doing these things, and here are mementoes." He'll know that you were thinking of him all the way.~
@45   = ~You are indeed kind, Faren. More so than you yourself might think. It is an inspiring idea, and one that I hope I will be able to use.~
@46   = ~Uhh, don't worry about it, really. I was just thinking aloud.~
@47   = ~Just do me one favour?~
@48   = ~And what would that be?~
@49   = ~Seriously, don't just get him dried flowers and cuttings or whatever. Get some fun stuff, like some toys or something, or he's not going to give you the time of day.~
@50   = ~If you were to find any children's toys on our current journey, I would be most impressed.~
@51   = ~Hush, you.~
@52   = ~Hey Edwin, can I ask you a question? Besides that one, I mean.~ [FHF93]
@53   = ~What do you want now? I cannot concentrate on my studies with you constantly bleating in my ear.~
@54   = ~Well, I was thinking about you and your magic, actually. You're damn powerful, of course, but when your magic fails--~
@55   = ~Which it never will, you impudent imbecile.~
@56   = ~IF your magic fails and someone gets close, you're going to be mincemeat in no time.~
@57   = ~A prospect so unlikely as to be unworthy of my time. Reach your point quickly, or I will show you the front end of a flaming arrow. At high speed.~
@58   = ~If you want to risk getting into close combat with a good fighter then be my guest. You can slap them all you like. I was going to suggest I try to take it for you.~
@59   = ~Go on. (This is unexpected, and intriguing. If I can get a meat shield then all the better to my chances of success.)~
@60   = ~Well. You snake some of the good stuff my way - money, trinkets that don't interest you - and I'll make sure you don't end up with a fighter to the face. How about it?~
@61   = ~I shall consider it. At the very least, this will increase the chances of your being horribly killed in battle, which would be all to the good.~
@62   = ~Huh. Well, I wouldn't get your hopes up about that.~
@63   = ~Faren, Faren, you look wan. Can this sparrow provide some measure of entertainment to pass away the <DAYNIGHT>?~
@64   = ~Oh, gods, no. Got a hangover about a foot thick. Please, don't talk to me.~
@65   = ~I shall sing for you, then, and that will pull up your spirits. 'Once upon a verdant hill'--~
@66   = ~--'there journeyed a stableboy', yeah, I know the one.~
@67   = ~What, why are you looking at me like that?~
@68   = ~My roguish hound, may I extract from you a promise?~
@69   = ~Go on...?~
@70   = ~Never sing in public again.~
@71   = ~If you stop walking so loud?~
@72   = ~It is a bargain!~
@73   = ~All right. So it's five words, starts with 'So', third word 'the'. Go on?~
@74   = ~Fourth word...what the hell is that? Beard? 'So blank the beard blank'?~
@75   = ~You're the one who's making a fool of himself, don't blame me. Okay, okay. Uh...old guy. He reads books? A monk?~
@76   = ~He's knowledgeable - ooh! Knowledgeable, learned, wise, scholarly, bookish--~
@77   = ~Scholarly? No, wise. So blank the wise blank?~
@78   = ~...Are you kidding? THAT'S the 'Guess the Phrase' phrase you come up with to take my mind off what's going on? 'So sayeth the wise Alaundo'?~
@79   = ~I couldn't think of anything else! My mind drew a blank!~
@80   = ~Can I ask how you were planning to do 'Alaundo' in mime?~
@81   = ~Er, I hadn't got that far.~
@82   = ~You seriously suck, Faren. Come on, now you've got to guess mine!~
@83   = ~Okay, next inn we stay at, I'll get you a book you really like and you can have a hot soak in a nice bath.~ [FHF100]
@84   = ~Excuse me?~
@85   = ~Well, you worry way too much, and my mum always used to say that the best way to stop worrying is to soak it away. Apparently lavender is nice in baths?~
@86   = ~Faren. I do not wish you to have such an interest in my personal hygiene, so kindly stop now.~
@87   = ~Oh, all right. No baths. But you've got to do something relaxing, or you're going to worry yourself into a nervous breakdown.~
@88   = ~Don't look at me like that! You know you worry all the time, especially about <CHARNAME> and <PRO_HISHER> Bhaal stuff - well, the world isn't going to end if you take a couple of hours off to, for instance, have a bath. Something that you like to do.~
@89   = ~This is not a pleasure tour. I will not take time for myself while we have duties to perform for <CHARNAME>. You would do well to remember that yourself.~
@90   = ~It was a losing battle anyway. I'm going to enjoy my next bath, and it won't be any skin off <CHARNAME>'s nose, so you might as well try it too. You never know, you might have fun!~
@91   = ~I think you are far too interested in having fun for these times, Faren.~
@92   = ~Maybe so, maybe not. But I know I'd be tearing my hair out otherwise, so I've got to do it.~
@93   = ~There you go. One turnip pie, courtesy of yours truly.~ [FHF103]
@94   = ~Mmm. Faren, you're an excellent cook. Did I ever tell you that?~
@95   = ~Well, I've never made you turnip pie before, so no.~
@96   = ~Mmm. Hmmm. Could use more rosemary.~
@97   = ~Check.~
@98   = ~Tarragon.~
@99   = ~Check, more tarragon next time.~
@100  = ~Could use a pinch of gnoll in the pastry.~
@101  = ~Che-- wait, what?~
@102  = ~What, don't you know the delicacy of the well-seasoned gnoll?~
@103  = ~That would be a very definite no.~
@104  = ~You'll never catch a good gnomish husband with that attitude! Why, I can't think of one Jansen who wouldn't put at least a couple of gnoll pies in the dowry agreement.~
@105  = ~Are you propositioning me again?~
@106  = ~Me? No, after that last fiasco I've decided you're not the man for my heart. That doesn't mean I can't try to marry you off to one of my cousins!~
@107  = ~How about we stick to the pies for now? No gnolls, but plenty of, er, owl. Owl meat okay with you?~
@108  = ~Heh, when is owl meat not a treat?~
@109  = ~...and then he said to me, "I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have asked her mother"--~ [FHF106]
@110  = ~Faren. Why are you telling me this?~
@111  = ~Hmm. That's a point - this isn't the most, uh, polite of stories. Well, there was the time when--~
@112  = ~I know that you do treat our situation seriously. But I fear that your penchant for stories is distracting me from keeping properly vigilant in these troubled times.~
@113  = ~Well, I'm hurt! Are my insightful tales not enough to keep you from being vigilant? I must not be doing my job right. Dear me...~
@114  = ~Well, that's the point. You're not normally so dour, Keldorn. Sometimes you do live a little, but you haven't recently. I thought I'd help you along.~
@115  = ~Thank you for your consideration, but I am as the Gods need me to be.~
@116  = ~That's as maybe, but the rest of us down here need you to lighten up a bit.~
@117  = ~Ye've been starin' at me these last ten minutes or more. Is there somethin' peculiar on me face?~
@118  = ~Yeah, it's your nose, but that's not what I was thinking about.~
@119  = ~Haha! Well, ye're off on the wrong foot as it is, so snap to it.~
@120  = ~About this list of yours. You know, the one where you decide who you're not going to try and kill.~
@121  = ~I'm sure you can guess where this is going. Am I on it, yet?~
@122  = ~Ah, Faren, ye're a sly one. I have to say, ye've been a fine comrade these past months. If I were yon sappy type I'd say ye're not as dumb as ye look.~
@123  = ~Hey!~
@124  = ~So, ye're on the waitin' list. Near at the bottom of the waitin' list, but ye're there.~
@125  = ~But what about that time when I stopped that guy splitting your skull? He didn't see me 'cause I was faster than you!~
@126  = ~Tsk, tsk, tsk. I'll have to dock ye a couple o' points fer that last remark...~
@127  = ~Wait, there are points now?!~
@128  = ~You know, when we were kids and you were starting to plan your adventures, we all talked about what you were going to be doing.~ [FHF112]
@129  = ~I never realised I was such an exciting topic!~
@130  = ~You totally were. We made up all these stories about what kinds of things you might do as a heroic adventurer. Battle dragons, rescue kings from certain doom, that sort of thing.~
@131  = ~That...is very touching, actually. It gladdens me to hear that.~
@132  = ~If you think that was touching, then just wait! What I wanted to get at was that we all thought you were going great places, and we were right. The real kicker is that I never would have thought I'd be travelling with you. THE Mazzy Fentan.~
@133  = ~You do yourself far too little credit, you know. I cannot say I had the same feelings towards you when we were younger but I can say this: that after Patrick and the others died I had not thought I would travel again with someone that I held so dear to my heart.~
@134  = ~...Okay, the plan was to make you cry, not me!~
@135  = ~Felix looks very happy today! You haven't been feeding him any hamsters, have you?~
@136  = ~Hmmm? No hamsters. That rabbit though - Felix enjoyed sinking his teeth into that.~ [FHF115]
@137  = ~Minsc is not sure if he should be pleased for Felix's happiness or worried for Boo's safety.~
@138  = ~Ha, like Felix could take Boo in a fight. Come on, Felix is a lightweight compared to a miniature giant space hamster like Boo!~
@139  = ~Faren makes a good point, doesn't he, Boo?~
@140  = ~Would Felix and Boo like to meet each other properly?~
@141  = ~Um...I think we should wait until Felix is better trained. I wouldn't want him to try anything.~
@142  = ~Your concern for Boo's safety brings a tear to Minsc's eye! Thank you, friend Faren!~
@143  = ~Now for the hard part. How the hell do you train a ferret?~
@144  = ~Minsc, can I hold Boo again?~ [FHF116]
@145  = ~Again? Minsc would be worried that Faren was planning to take Boo away, except Boo could not be taken against his will.~
@146  = ~I wouldn't steal Boo from you...I just want to hold him. He's fluffy.~
@147  = ~Boo is too vicious a warrior for good to be described as fluffy. Still, he is a nice hamster to hold. Here.~
@148  = ~Thanks. I think I need to get a pet of my own, you know. I've been craving one.~
@149  = ~You should get one! You are never lonely when you have an animal companion by your side, and they are much help in battle.~
@150  = ~What about a ferret? I've always wanted a ferret.~
@151  = ~Ooh, but a ferret would want to eat Boo, and that would not be good at all.~
@152  = ~You could help me train it. And anyway, Boo can take care of himself! Now where do we get a ferret...~
@153  = ~Archmage De'Arnise. Nalia The Archmage. Nalia The Unstoppable Archmage...~ [FHF117]
@154  = ~You should get a tower from somewhere. Or build one, that would be fun.~
@155  = ~What are you going on about now, Faren? I'm not in the mood for you making fun of me again.~
@156  = ~Not at all. You'd squash me if I made fun of you, anyhow.~
@157  = ~I'm quite capable of keeping myself under control, thank you. If you want to make personal remarks, you can just--~
@158  = ~That's not what I meant. I think a tower'd suit you. You could give people jobs to build it, and then you could attach shops and things, and it'd be like a complete village! But with a tower!~
@159  = ~I could be your grand vizier?~
@160  = ~Oh, so that's where this is going, is it?~
@161  = ~I could grow a beard...~
@162  = ~Absolutely not. I will make more changes amongst the city, not from some remote height.~
@163  = ~But - I'm sure the vizier idea would work, if you wanted to do some good nearby?~
@164  = ~'Fraid I'm only in it for the tower. Plus, it would never work. I'd be destined to betray you.~
@165  = ~Of course. Yes, it's a silly dream.~
@166  = ~Do not think I have not noted your grumbling about my presence. Speak much more and I shall cut out that tongue of yours.~
@167  = ~Oh, no, I'm fine with my tongue intact, thanks. Just confused, is all.~ [FHF118]
@168  = ~I don't get why your <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>'s bothering keeping you around when <PRO_HESHE> should be throwing you out on your ear. You're not clever, you're not scary, you're just some washed-up bully who couldn't even manage to take over the Sword Coast. C'mon, you couldn't even die properly!~
@169  = ~You become long-winded when confused, I see. Hah!~
@170  = ~Oh, yeah, sure, that's really funny! Maybe you should've stayed down in Hell where you belonged!~
@171  = ~I see the fear in your eyes. You can barely look at me without quailing like a child.~
@172  = ~Stating the godsdamn obvious, aren't you? Whatever. I'll go talk to <CHARNAME>.~
@173  = ~...but then the commander of the unit turned up in his pajamas, livid, demanding to know where we had got the laxatives from.~
@174  = ~Ha! Little did he know, eh? That's fantastic. What happened next?~
@175  = ~He had us flogged.~
@176  = ~Aah, what? I said a funny story, not a story about flogging!~
@177  = ~It gets funny at the end.~
@178  = ~Okay...go on?~
@179  = ~The wounds got infected and I was out of commission for days. I could barely straighten my back for a week and sometimes the scars still pain me today.~
@180  = ~Really? But that's awful!~
@181  = ~For a man who claims to be worldly, you're damn gullible.~
@182  = ~Gah! You're just too damned deadpan!~
@183  = ~Do Drow live as long as regular elves do, Viconia?~ [FHF122]
@184  = ~I don't believe anyone has researched such a thing. Do you plan to tarry around the Underdark asking the denizens' ages?~
@185  = ~Don't be silly. No, I was wondering what your plans are - you know, for the future. Must be odd, for people who live so long.~
@186  = ~Do I need to explain myself to you, rivvil?~
@187  = ~I mean, it's hard enough for me, and I don't have nearly as much time to plan out...~
@188  = ~Did you have something you wished to say, male, or are you content babbling to yourself like a demented old woman? If so, I am sure you need no input from me.~
@189  = ~Huh? No, just thinking aloud. Sorry, didn't mean to upset you.~
@190  = ~Leave me be, iblith! Do not trouble me any further!~
