Version History......................................................38 Intro This is a guide that maps out (in their entirety) the ToB portion of the three romances available to male PCs. However, I have spent far too much time on this already and am too lazy to go into the detail that Extremist did with his extensive FAQ on the SoA romances, so if you need basic help with romances in general, you’ll have to refer to his guide instead. Also, I have not included Anomen’s romance out of respect for my dear buddy kuemper, who worked long and hard on making her ToBAniRom FAQ, and is in fact the only reason I was able to make this guide in the first place. (See Credits) This FAQ is meant to help gamers and (legal) modders only, and will NOT be used for profit by anyone without explicit e-mail permission from me personally, under penalty of catapult. (Yes, I have one, and yes, I will use it if necessary.) Constructive criticism is welcomed as always (via PM of course), and I’d be more than happy to answer any and all clarifying questions you may have on the Boards O’ Magick at Sorcerer’s Place (www.sorcerers.net). This guide was done with a fully-patched, minimally-modded (Ease-of-Use and lvl-50) game via Infinity Explorer, and any differences from your game are most likely the result of a Flirt Pack or something similar. There are also some impossible branches coded in that you can only get with bad program logic (a bug). However, if you do find (for sure) that something with your un-modded (romance-wise & NPC-wise) does not fit with my guide, please let me know immediately so that I can correct the oversight. You can contact me (Felinoid) via PM at SP. Disclaimer: Any typos in the dialogues are the result of Bioware’s missed spellchecks. I copied them directly from the .dlg files (via IE) and chose not to correct them to preserve originality. Given the terrific game they gave us, I say we can let a few typos slide. Key to Variables The first variable is “ExpLoveTalk” (which I believe stands for Expansion LoveTalk), which will be furthermore referred to as ELT. This variable works almost exactly like “LoveTalk” worked in SoA, but they needed a new variable for ease of programming. Mostly you can ignore it unless you’re having problems. See Extremist’s Guide for info on the “LoveTalk” variable. A returning favorite is the “[Name]RomanceActive” variable, which should be at 2 for the whole ToB portion of the romance. If it hits 3, you said something wrong in the last ELT and you’re now screwed. Reload a previous save and try again. To check most variables, you can use the console command: CLUAConsole:GetGlobal(“[variable name]”,”GLOBAL”) But if that doesn’t work, most likely the variable is a local rather than a global, meaning that you will have to put your cursor over the appropriate character’s portrait and use a very slightly modified command: CLUAConsole:GetGlobal(“[variable name]”,”LOCALS”) Occasionally the dialogue will split based on the PC’s (or Viconia’s) “ALIGNMENT” or an NPC romancespecific variable. Alignment should be rather obvious to any BG gamer, but keep it in mind for any asides in parentheses that mention it. The NPC-specific variables (if any) are detailed in the beginning of each romance section. You may notice that some of the choices are numbered weird (e.g. 2/3/4). This is because some choices may or may not appear right in the middle of your choice list, depending on variables that I outline in an aside just before the list. This can screw with the displayed number (and subsequently the key you would press) of a particular dialogue, so I’ve listed all the number possibilities for each choice. The dialogue of each choice is generally what to look for when you’re choosing. The <x> notations mean to go to the corresponding bold-face <x> marker in the text of that ELT. I’ve made it exclusively top to bottom, so if you don’t see the marker yet, just keep scrolling. (However, I used some notation phrases in multiple ELTs, so make sure you don’t cross the border lines between them or you’ll get very confused.) If not marked by a <x> notation, the dialogue choice has no effect on what happens next, and you will always hear the same thing from your partner (directly below the list of choices), no matter which one you choose. I really hope you don’t need this one explained, but just in case... Don’t choose responses with the (romance screwed!) notation next to them unless you want to end the romance, and possibly your party member. In the case of Viconia, you’ll also lose the stuff she’s carrying. Important note: Some ELTs do not have any way to screw up the romance. In order not to unnecessarily spoil dialogue for people who want to be surprised, I have included a list at the beginning of each romance area in this format: “Note that ELTs #, #, ... & # cannot be screwed up no matter how hard you try.” Jaheira’s is particularly easy in this regard, and Viconia’s is rather difficult. Aerie Again you have to be the epitome of niceness in front of Aerie, but she’ll at least cut you some minor slack now. Just don’t insult her (weepy). Note that ELTs 2, 8, 12, 16, 18, and {after baby} cannot be screwed up, no matter how hard you try. At some point during the romance, if you have Imoen in your party (after Spellhold), she and Aerie will go off to chat about you behind your back. It'll only happen once, and there are no repercussions, so don't worry about it. The only two NPC-specific variables for Aerie are the “SleptAerie” variable from SoA and “AeriePregnantTimer”. “SleptAerie” makes a nearly insignificant difference in the very first romantic response that you can give in ToB, and then promptly disappears. “AeriePregnantTimer”, on the other hand, is set to 216,000 at the end of ELT=12 (where she tells you she’s pregnant). This means 60 hours of real time has to pass playing the game between the sixth ToB LoveTalk and when she’ll have her baby. If you want it to happen, you’ll probably have to leave it paused and running for at least two days after finishing all your challenges. Personally, I wouldn’t bother. ;p NOTE: You will get ELT=2 if you slept with Aerie and then dismissed her in the last SoA LoveTalk (and screwed the romance), but don’t get too excited; it ends right there. ELT=2 (The answers you can give to this question will change depending on whether or not you slept with Aerie in SoA, but you will get the same response from Aerie regardless.) Aerie: "I... I know there is a lot on your mind right now. But may I... may I talk to you? About us?" 1) "Yes, Aerie, what is it?" 2) If you DID sleep with Aerie: "Us? I thought you needed to 'find yourself' before there could be any us." 2) If you DIDN’T sleep with Aerie: “I'm surprised, Aerie. I thought you wanted to put our relationship on hold until our adventures were over.” Aerie: “I... this has been a difficult time for me, <CHARNAME>. My life has changed so much since I met you. Since you rescued me from that circus. Sometimes I don't even feel like I know myself anymore. You've... you've been so patient this whole time. So understanding. And now, because of you and your love, I'm not that frightened little girl anymore. But... but I'm still scared...” 1) “You have nothing to be frightened of, Aerie. I'll always be here to protect you.” 2) “Scared? Scared of what?” 3) “That's nothing new, Aerie. You'd be afraid of your own shadow.” Aerie: “I'm frightened of what's to come, <CHARNAME>. So much has changed so fast. I love you, but what if... what if I suddenly lose you? What if some irresistable force tears us apart? That's why I wanted to wait. Until things were more... stable.” But this might be as stable as my life ever gets. but I can't help it. but I see I was wrong. my love.” (party rests) ... It's foolish. I was afraid before. And I swear I'll never let you go.” <decision> 2) “Forget it. <CHARNAME>. I can only control the now..” 1) “You sound like you've reached a decision. I love you.. I promise I'll still be here. I see. I want to be with you. <CHARNAME>.. Ready to give myself to you totally.” 1) “I love you.. but I can't control the forever. just be patient with me a while longer.. my love. <CHARNAME>? And when the morning comes. <CHARNAME> .1) “I don't mind taking things slow.. *grin* “ 3) “Are you sure about this. I want us to make the most of the time we have together.” 2) “I think you made it in just under the wire.” <you’re right> 2) “Sometimes you have to live for the moment.before the moment is gone.. Now and forever.. I would have waited an eternity for you. <CHARNAME>. I. Whatever the future brings. I just.. Aerie? I don't want to pressure you.with all my heart and soul.. <CHARNAME>. Starting right now. I won't push you away anymore.. Please.. This weepy act has worn thin for me. and the others are asleep. I don't expect you to.. we end up losing what we already have. About waiting. I want to let myself love you. I know you're right.. <CHARNAME>. Aerie . of course not.” Aerie: “Shhh. if I haven't already waited too long. the fire is burning low. I thought you were someone worth giving my heart to. I need to think things over a little bit longer. Aerie. May I. heart and soul.” Aerie: “I'm ready... Don't worry. and how sometimes we can wait so long for something we want. Aerie.” ELT=4 Aerie: “I've been thinking about what you said earlier. Aerie. may I sleep with you tonight? If. “ <of course not> Aerie: “I. my love. Aerie .. I'm just so worried about losing you later on that I'm afraid to let myself love you now..” <you’re right> 3) “I can't wait around for you forever. but not anymore.” <weepy> (romance screwed!) <weepy> Aerie: “I...” <of course not> <you’re right> Aerie: “I. Ready to commit to you in body.I won't ever bother you with my "weepy" words again!” (party rests) <decision> Aerie: “I have. Why don't I snuggle in with you.” 1) “I couldn't have said it better myself. <CHARNAME>.” <someday> (romance screwed!) 2) “No. I have to find out if that spirit was telling the truth!” 1) “And what about me? You said we'd be together forever!” <sorry> 2) “Don't go. I could *feel* it. Besides. Aerie.. Aerie. with you... I swore to stay with you.” <what?> 3) “Stay with me.. <CHARNAME>. My place is here now. But I have no choice.. I know it. And returning home won't bring her back. can it? I have to.” (Aerie leaves the party. That's all. *sigh* I know you're right.” 2) “You weren't responsible for your mother's death. Whatever happened. then.. what are you talking about.” <what?> <sorry> Aerie: “I'm. <CHARNAME>. Aerie. Aerie. This is exactly what I was afraid of . That wraith was lying. Are you okay?” .” 1) “Go. you can't make any difference now. my love. it's in the past. Aerie... I have to go! I have to see if my mother. I left that part of my life behind a long.” 1) “I'm glad.” Aerie: “You can't be sure. Someday I plan to go back to Faenya-Dail.. Not if it means deserting you. <CHARNAME>.ELT=6 (After Gorion-wraith encounter) Aerie: “I.” 2) “You're right.. Aerie. I won't let a ghost from my past destroy everything we have built together.” <what?> <someday> Aerie: “Perhaps we will meet again someday. Whatever the past is. It said those things to hurt you. I have to go. but she gives you all of her stuff) <what?> Aerie: “What. But not now. <CHARNAME>! How did it even know those things? Oh mother! What have I done to you?” 1) “Aerie. <CHARNAME>?” 1) “That thing was lying.. Aerie. I have to return to Faenya-Dail!” 1) “Calm down. No matter what that thing said.. Maybe my mother really is dead.. I. long time ago. this is too painful... There is no reason for you to go back. I guess our love was never meant to be... I have to go back home. I don't know if that thing was telling the truth. I have to go back home..something tearing us apart.” Aerie: “I..*sob* It can't be true.. and I will. I'm sorry. Aerie.. but I didn't kill her. I.” Aerie: “But I. Aerie. that creature was pure evil. .. But you know it probably won't ever happen. *grin* And as for you. Old...” 2) “Just the two of us.. just sitting and thinking. Maybe once. This was about us.” Aerie: “My 'innocence'? I hardly think of myself as 'innocent' anymore.. <CHARNAME>.” 1) “Ah. It's just that everyone always still treats me as a little girl. a long time ago. but I will be. Not speaking...... No. my love. I didn't mean to offend you with that compliment. very old. Thank you.” Aerie: “Maybe. Aerie. my love.. <CHARNAME>. Who can say what the future holds for us? But it was a nice dream while it lasted. everything.” 2) “I'm sorry. I couldn't have done this without you by my side.Aerie: “No. Thank you for.” ELT=8 Aerie: “I had a dream last night..I'll be fine once we get moving. I always find your innocence so appealling.” 1) “What was I thinking? You are truly the epitome of mature and matronly womanhood. But I don't want the others to get impatient with 'poor little Aerie'. And holding hands. <CHARNAME>. I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm not a wide-eyed little girl anymore. a beautiful dream. but happy. I know you're *all* woman!” Aerie: “*giggle* Oh. well.” <about us> <naughty> Aerie: “<CHARNAME>! You are so bad! *giggle*... but I've grown since then.. Not after everything we've been through. naughty?” <naughty> <flying> Aerie: “No. and I'm one of the most powerful spellcasters in all of Faerun! Maybe the next time someone treats me like a child I'll turn them into a toad. was I in it? Was I.” 1) “Sounds nice.” 1) “Wait. *grin*” 3) “Oh.. a dream about flying. wait until this evening and I promise you'll see that I'm anything but 'innocent'!” ...” <about us> <about us> Aerie: “We were sitting together in our home. Maybe it's a sign of things to come. Aerie.. We were both old.. But I wasn't sure if I should tell you about it. Aerie? Don't you see any children in our future?” 3) “That's a nice thought. I don't dream of that much anymore. Aerie... this wasn't a 'naughty' dream. That should get my point across. let me guess. This was about us. my love.” <flying> 2) “Why not. believe me Aerie. maybe not.. Don't worry about me . . Aerie..” 1) “There's nothing we can do for them now. An entire city ravaged because some of them shared my tainted blood.ELT=10 Aerie: “<CHARNAME>. it's late and I'm tired. And as long as you're with me.. death and bloodshed still hound my every step. you'll numb yourself to everything! Joy. Aerie. <CHARNAME>. Can you whine about this in the morning?” <callous> (romance screwed!) <numb> Aerie: “No. It's how I cope.” <upset> 2) “I've seen so much death it hardly even bothers me anymore. <CHARNAME>! Just because we didn't know those people doesn't make their deaths any less meaningful!” 1) “With as many deaths as I've seen in my life I guess I'm just numb to it now.. even love.” <sorry> 3) “Maybe if you didn't dwell on it you'd be able to put it behind you... my love...” <upset> <sorry> Aerie: “I'm sorry. Excuse me. Every time I close my eyes I see the burning buildings of Saradush and the smoking bodies of all those Bhaalspawn lying in the streets! It's horrible!” 1) “Same old story... I was so worried about my own reactions I forgot that it must have been even more upsetting to you.. I know the good will outweigh the bad.” <strength> 2) “So I should let myself become a weepy. sentimental mess? Like you?” <callous> (romance screwed!) <callous> Aerie: “I. But torturing ourselves over their fate only causes us more pain!” <numb> 3) “Look.. happiness. We have to accept the good and the bad. but it's better than feeling nothing at all. <CHARNAME>. I think I'm going to sleep on the other side of the camp from now on. <CHARNAME>.” <strength> . If you numb yourself to the pain and suffering. Best to let the dead rest in peace..” <numb> 2) “I didn't mean that. Aerie. don't be like that.” 1) “You're right. butchered like that. I had no idea you were so callous! So devoid of compassion and pity! You are obviously not the person I thought you were.. Aerie.” <numb> <upset> Aerie: “You don't seem very upset about it. All those who shared your destiny.” <upset> 2) “It was horrible. I can't sleep... I'll..” <timing> <timing> Aerie: “I realize this is not the best timing... There is no mistake.. oh. Perhaps. privately.” <happy> “Are you sure you're pregnant? I mean. but there are still many months before our child will be born. <CHARNAME> *grin*. We Avariel have a sixth sense about these type of things.” Aerie: “I'm pregnant. This joyous news is for you and me alone right now...” <timing> <horrible> Aerie: “That was not the reaction I was hoping for. <CHARNAME>.. my love. and that means he's important to me.” 3) “Why all the secrecy? Is there something the matter with Quayle?” Aerie: “No.. perhaps if you wrap your arms around me I will be able to sleep tonight. A boy.” <timing> “Aerie.” 1) “Is there something you're trying to tell me.. hang back here with me a while. let's catch up with the others before they get suspicious. Away from the others. I. Not yet. I'm pregnant with your child.. like I want to burst with joy!” <timing> <sure> Aerie: “I know.... Aerie!” <horrible> <happy> Aerie: “I knew you'd be happy. <CHARNAME>! Isn't it wonderful?” 1) 2) 3) 4) “Pregnant? I. <CHARNAME>! I feel like. my love?” 2) “Please tell me you're asking only out of curiosity. until the morning. But I can understand your misgivings. my love.” ELT=14 . I must ask you something.” 2) “He's important to you Aerie. I can see by your face that you're still a little overwhelmed by all this. I mean.... I'm not sure what to say. What do you think of Quayle as a name? For a child. What do you think of Quayle?” 1) “Your Uncle? He seemed nice enough. the comfort of your touch keeps the dark visions at bay.Aerie: “Yes. my love. I mean the name. I'm so happy for you! For us. I'll give you some time to let this news settle in before we discuss our future plans. We must draw strength from each other.... Hurry.... And I. Ah. my love. don't tell the others. Sleep well.... my love. Please.” ELT=12 Aerie: “Please.... how do you know?” <sure> “This is horrible. ” 1) “No.. it shares the blood of Bhaal. If the child is born before we finish our adventures. it's too dangerous.” <monster> (romance screwed!) 3) “My father abandoned me. There is nowhere I can go. I wish I could do the same for you.” <not so hard> 3) “Aerie. I can still fight and cast spells while our child grows within me. now more than ever. if that should be necessary.” <dangerous> 2) “What if you get injured? What will happen to the baby?” <injured> 3) “And if the baby is born before our adventures are done? What then?” <born> <dangerous> Aerie: “This child is your offspring. We may very well conclude our adventures long before my condition even becomes noticeable. the Avariel.even resurrecting it to life... At Saradush you saw what happened to your kin. The fate of the child is tied to yours.. I think we should find somewhere safe for you to stay until after the baby is born. and I got by just fine... my love. have you had a chance to think about our little secret? My. it too shall survive. I'm not the one who's pregnant.. The safest place is here with us... <CHARNAME>.Aerie: “My love.” <difficult> ...as is the custom of my people. I shall bundle it on my back . condition?” 1) “I have Aerie.” <discuss> <discuss> Aerie: “This child will change our lives completely. We can work this out. As long as you live. it will draw its strength from me. There is much we need to discuss.” <not so hard> <flesh> Aerie: “<CHARNAME>! You would turn your back on your own flesh and blood? You would abandon me and our child?” 1) “Sorry. Poor taste on my part. While the babe still dwells within me. <CHARNAME>.. I was just making a joke.” <not so hard> 2) “This isn't my problem. And if not. But this is something we must discuss now. my love. And the lives of those who would adventure with us on this quest you have undertaken. <CHARNAME>. where we can protect our child.” <not so hard> 4) “I want you by my side. The healing magics that restore my health will restore the health of the unborn child in my womb . it shares your destiny. Aerie. no place I can hide that will keep our baby from being hunted and slaughtered.” <patient> <patient> Aerie: “You have always been patient with me.” <discuss> 2) “I still need some more time to wrap my head around this. how can we do this now? You can't be pregnant while we battle such dangerous foes.. <CHARNAME>.” <monster> (romance screwed!) <not so hard> Aerie: “This will not be so hard as you might imagine.. I want nothing to do with this kid.” <flesh> 2) “Aerie.” 1) “It won't change my life. <CHARNAME>. <CHARNAME>. <CHARNAME>. heartless monster! I can't stay here. it will draw its strength from me. <CHARNAME>. As long as you live. As long as I have you by my side.. <CHARNAME>. I will support every step of the way. I know together we can do this. I shall bundle it on my back .. Surely I have the strength for this.” <difficult> <difficult> Aerie: “I know this will be difficult. it shares the blood of Bhaal..” <blood> <blood> Aerie: “<CHARNAME>! You would turn your back on your own flesh and blood? You would abandon me and our child?” 1) “This isn't my problem. it shares your destiny. At Saradush you saw what happened to your kin. This child is your offspring..even resurrecting it to life. Take a hike. And so will our baby.. it shares the blood of Bhaal. The healing magics that restore my health will restore the health of the unborn child in my womb . <CHARNAME>!” (Aerie leaves the party... If the child is born before we finish our adventures. As long as you live.. When I lost my wings I found the strength to go on. But I have suffered through worse.as is the custom of my people.” <monster> (romance screwed!) 2) “My father abandoned me. the Avariel.as is the custom of my people. Poor taste on my part. At Saradush you saw what happened to your kin. I'm not sure about this. you are a monster! A cruel... I won't let my child be poisoned by your evil! I hope you burn in the Abyss.. But.. I'll be okay. There is nowhere I can go. the Avariel. no place I can hide that will keep our baby from being hunted and slaughtered.” <together> 2) “I.” <difficult> <born> Aerie: “If the child is born before we finish our adventures. The safest place is here with us. no place I can hide that will keep our baby from being hunted and slaughtered.. But I'm willing to try .” <together> 3) “I'd rather just forget about you and the kid. The safest place is here with us..” 1) “If you think you can do this. it will draw its strength from me.” <monster> (romance screwed!) 3) “Sorry. The fate of the child is tied to yours. Aerie. I'm not the one who's pregnant.. .” <together> <monster> Aerie: “You. This child is your offspring. if that should be necessary. 'mommy'. it too shall survive. Aerie. helping me and watching over me.. where we can protect our child. While the babe still dwells within me. There is nowhere I can go.for our sake and the sake of the child. Aerie. if that should be necessary. I was just making a joke. it too shall survive. but she gives you all of her stuff) <together> Aerie: “I.. where we can protect our child.. and I got by just fine. The healing magics that restore my health will restore the health of the unborn child in my womb .. I shall bundle it on my back . The fate of the child is tied to yours. my love. it shares your destiny.. please don't mention this to the others.<injured> Aerie: “While the babe still dwells within me.even resurrecting it to life. . But still. May I ask you something?” 1) “Of course. Please...” <happy> 2) “What. You certainly are the stereotype of the worried father! *grin* This is about something else. And if neither of us draws any attention to it while the others are around no one will suspect anything. But come. Your ultimate destiny . Aerie. whatever it may be.” Aerie: “If I wear long.. loose robes no one will notice until the last few weeks..” 1) “Eventually they're going to figure it out. my love... <CHARNAME>. But I know our greatest challenges are still ahead. We are united as one.” Aerie: “Oh.and the destiny of our child .” 2) “I do not want to lose you. <CHARNAME>. But I cannot deny my destiny. <CHARNAME>. could you do one thing for me? Could we celebrate our love in the traditions of my people?” 1) “Of course. I don't know what awaits us. will you give me your hand in marriage?” 2) “Are you saying we should have a wedding?” 3) “I have trouble picturing you in a bridal gown. Aerie.. the others will wonder what we are up to if we tarry any longer.” ELT=16 (This will only happen after all of the challenges are done... I. We share the deepest love. Aerie.but they are usually grand and formal events reserved for nobility and political alliances .) Aerie: “My love. Mum's the word. dawn is approaching soon.” 1) “Aerie. let's keep this our special little secret.. you and your jokes! I do love you so. my dearest Aerie....” <happy> <happy> Aerie: “This is the happiest time of my life..” Aerie: “I know. You can't hide something like this. We have shared trials and tribulations. <CHARNAME>! *giggle* Such ceremonies are not the custom of my people! True.” Aerie: “Oh. I don't want everyone to suddenly start making a big fuss over 'poor pregnant Aerie'. we are both fine. And together we have created a new life. You can ask me anything... we Avariel have weddings . what is it? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?” <baby> <baby> Aerie: “Relax <CHARNAME>.is yet to come.” 1) “As you wish my love.. <CHARNAME>. But once again I fear I may lose you. we will always be together.They're finally starting to treat me with respect now..... and we must rise and continue our quest . I shall unite myself with you in body. I shall shoulder your burdens as you shoulder mine. let us face the world as husband and wife. If none of them are in your party. Did you really think we were so blind we would not see Aerie's swollen belly beneath her robes? Fortunately I have prepared some herbs to ease her pain during this coming ordeal.” 1) “Dawn is approaching..” Viconia/Edwin: “So the wingless one is pregnant? I thought she was merely becoming fat. the uniting of two hearts with a simple vow as the sun appears on the horizon....” <understand> <understand> Aerie: “I. I think it's time! The baby is coming!” (A lot of people chime in here if they’re in your party. And I shall remain with you always..” Nalia/Mazzy: “This is so exciting! Here. though not much. as well as that of our child. Very well. <CHARNAME>! I. as your husband. Aerie my love.) ... <CHARNAME>.. my love. But of course. If I am unable to remain with you.. my love.cemented through marriage. for example. let me help. you get a single dialogue choice that takes you past the scheduled interruptions.” (Congrats. mind and spirit. I.. Do not give me that look. *groan* I must. let us leave this until later.. you’re married!) ELT=18 Aerie: “Please...” / “Well. I shall shoulder your burdens as you shoulder mine. (And here I thought she was merely getting chubby without the ring master's whip to keep her in shape.. Lines by any that aren’t in your party can be ignored.. I have a little experience with child birth. mind and spirit.. as your wife. I know we cannot. I shall unite myself with you in body. that is what we shall do.. The others are stirring. I wish we could just lie here and savor this moment forever.... The important thing is that we remain together. <CHARNAME>! I wish. this time comes sooner than I expected. And I shall remain with you always.. Most of my kind prefer a simpler marriage ceremony.” Aerie: “You cannot imagine how happy this simple ceremony has made me.” 1) “And I.” <swear> 3) “Aerie. for any reason.for your own sake. Come. we can wait to perform this simple ceremony. I must stop for the night. I have little experience with the gestation period of the Avariel.. I would rather wait until this is all decided. Your destiny is still undecided. I understand. shall stand by your side in both peace and battle. This I swear by the light of the rising sun. This I too swear by the light of the rising sun. Even now the others are stirring.” <swear> Aerie: “Thank you. my love.) Jaheira/Cernd: “Ah. shall we swear our love to each other now?” <swear> 2) “If that is your wish. shall stand by your side in both peace and battle. my love..
