	~No... NO! Get away from me, get AWAY! (Attempting to escape from whatever haunts her dreams, her body twists and contorts away from your touch.)~

	~Please stay close to me...~

	~I will, Imoen, calm down. I'm right here. No-one is going to hurt you.~

	~(Her chills gradually fade, the soft touch of your fingertips calming her down bit by bit. Her breathing returns to normal, her skin regains its usual warmth. Slowly you've lulled her to sleep once more.)~
        =
	~(Her chest rises and falls against yours. The smoothness of her skin, the light caress of her breath, the quiet comfort of her presence... you can't help but smile.)~

	~(It's a mystery who it is that torments her dreams, but it doesn't matter. You'll protect her, now and forever.)~
