"God, my head hurts."
"There's a vice around my skull."
"It feels like someone's sitting on my face. Not in a fun way."
"It's too bright in here, I need to lay down."
"I feel sick and dizzy, I'm sorry."
"Everything is spinning, I feel like I'm going to throw up."
"You cannot imagine how bad this feels."
"Of course I'm squinting, it's so bright in here."
"It's not just a headache, it's awful."
"Imagine a rope made of ice cubes tightening around your brain."
"It hurts so bad."
"Yes, I'm crying! I'm sorry! It hurts!"
"Can you hold me so I can't see anything?"
"Can you bring me a blanket?"
"I can't stand up, I'm too dizzy..."
"You look really pale, are you sure you're okay?"
"Alright, hey, let me - cover your eyes -"
"I'm going to turn the light on, is that okay..?"
"Lay down here, alright, just - rest."
"I never realised that it felt this bad..."
"This is what happens when you refuse to take care of yourself."
"Whoa, hey - okay - okay, let's get you lying down."
"You can't keep pushing through this."
"You barely look like you can stand."
"You're allowed to take a break, you know..."

āI'mĀ anĀ adventurer,Ā lookingĀ forĀ treasure.ā
āYouāre not⦠how I thought youād be.ā
āIs this what youāre really like, or was that an act?ā
āI need to know this is for real. If youāre not genuine, tell me right now.ā
āYouāre⦠good at that.ā
āI didnāt realize you were - maybe we should start again. Iām [name].ā
āSo this is what the (in)famous [Name] is like behind closed doors.ā
āYou have a lot of experience with this.ā
āDo you know what people say about you?ā
āYouāre just like they said.ā
āWhy donāt you correct them? When people talk about you, and theyāre wrong?ā
āI thought they were exaggerating about you.ā
āIāve wanted to meet you for a long time.ā
āAm I safe with you?ā
āDo you mean that?ā
āIām just trying to figure out why youāre here.ā
āWhat made you get into this/that line of work?ā
āLook, youāre either going to help, or you arenāt. Which one is it going to be?ā
āYou ⦠you chose me.ā
āI⦠no, nothing. I just didnāt realize you were brave.ā
āYouāre going to get yourself killed/fired, you know.ā
āHave you always been like that?ā
āThat was kind.ā
āThat was good of you.ā
āThat was stupid.ā
āYou didnāt have to do that. But you did.ā
āYou were there. You didnāt have to be.ā
āI think .. I have you to thank, for this.ā
āI wouldnāt be here without you.ā
āI wouldnāt have been there if it werenāt for you.ā

ā iāve met scarecrows with more spine than you ā // @starlyht { kyran }
"Twice over would you have been gutted in Menzoberranzan for such assumptions. The first: that you assume a lack of interest in these petty conflicts and squabbles indicates a lack of spine. The second: that you assume you might speak to me in such a manner unanswered."
The drow corners a look of warning at the other, though he makes no move yet to rise from his place at the campfire.
"I have deigned to bestow upon you this first and only warning; know that I will not give another."
ā i just like to argue with you cause itās funny. ā // @starlyht { Sszefryn }
"And yet, perhaps it would be best were you to seek out that barbarian or the ranger. Such individuals should be more well-suited to provide you with a conversation more closely aligned to your own level of understanding."
"I prefer to waste neither my time nor my breath for another moment with refuting the utterly insipid utterances of the unenlightened."
And with that, he returns his attention to the heavy tome he had been studying prior to this ridiculous discussion.
Like this post if you want something from Nere. And so that I don't flood the dash, if you want something from one of my other blogs in the listing, comment who you'd like for the asks.

part 2 / ? .
ā iām also worried about me, but i somehow seem to be worried about you more. ā ā you put the stars to shame. letās sit here a little while - i want to drink you in. ā ā iād tell you not to get in trouble, but i suspect it will find you whether you like it or not. ā ā well, this seems as good a time as any for me to stop babbling on. ā ā i justā¦.need some airā¦clear my head. ā ā itās been a long time since i shed a tear. i donāt even know how long. ā ā i had a feeling youād show up. itās sort of our thing. like itās fate or something. ā ā i do appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's try to restrain ourselves a little. ā ā if that was an attempt at flirting, i should let you know i prefer the strong, silent type. ā ā no matter how far you come, youāre still on the road to ruin. ā ā i thought you a hunter. wrong. youāre prey - small. snivelling. pathetic. ā ā and what am i owed? what about the injustices iāve suffered - am i not entitled to anything? ā ā i canāt help but feel the strangest twinge of disgust as i look upon you. ā ā i trust that you will continue to remember who is really on your side. ā ā better a short life built on truth than immortality woven of lies. ā ā i wonāt make excuses. i canāt make amends. but i want to help, if youāll let me. ā ā gods, itās horrifyingā¦and a touch fascinating. ā ā there are many names for you --- and all of them inspire dread. ā ā destiny is at your door; wonāt you at least twitch the curtain? ā ā the gravest crimes committed in this world are committed for love. a hunger crueller than bloodlust. ā ā youāve got a backbone, and the makings of a leader. ā ā revenge sounds so sweet until youāve taken it. then all you have isā¦no one left to blame. ā ā some mistakes canāt be resolved with an apology. some mistakes, you have to carry with you, forever. ā ā youāre plotting something, arenāt you? come on then - out with it. ā ā this is not good, if i may state the obvious. ā ā think of all weāve been through just to get to this moment. that wasnāt luck. that was us. ā ā feel like i should laugh but iām just too godsdamned tired. ā ā there is something i lostā¦no, had taken from me. i want it all back. ā ā careful - youāre in very real danger of hurting my feelings. ā ā one thing iāve learned - real saviours never label themselves as such. ā ā less thinking of bad thoughts, and more breaking of bad bones. ā ā i rather like interfering. itās kind of my thing. ā ā evil is evil, even if it once was innocent. ā ā you know, i've been catching myself smiling more lately. i think that's your fault.. ā ā oh, iām no innocent. but evil? you tell me. ā ā i still want to believe youāre better than that. but even i am having my doubts. ā ā i canāt afford to lose my nerve. safer to just not think, and keep forging ahead. ā ā when all this is over, will you stay with me? for good? ā ā this is not good, if i may state the obvious. ā ā is there a reason you're always such an utter drip? do you have some sort of condition? honestly, it's like you hate good news. ā ā all of natureās beauty pales in comparison to you. ā ā i canāt save you from yourself. it hurts terribly, but i canāt. ā ā if i seem suddenly flush with hope and soft feeling, you have only yourself to blame. ā ā is there good and evil within us all? ā
ā iāve been watching you fight. your skills are improving. ā ā you know, for all the sense of dread and horror seeping through this place, i really feel quite at home here. ā ā and you? youāre wholly without vice or sin or the occasional lapse in judgement? ā ā i wager you donāt even know how extraordinary you truly are. but i do. ā ā one might say youāre paragon of luck. iāll be there when it runs out. ā ā i've always had a soft spot for the confident onesā¦they always disappoint though. ā ā i concealed nothing from you. i simply left out the details that were not pertinent. ā ā youāre an odd friend. but, i suppose, a friend still. ā ā i wonāt let you do this. i wonāt let you win. ā ā you are my puppet. make no mistake. without me, you have no value. ā ā well, this seems like a lovely little spot. the sense of impending doom aside. ā ā whoever your enemies are, they have good reason to fear you. ā ā this place is astonishing, a bardās tale made real. ā ā i may not regret my actions, but i do regret that they were necessary. ā ā experience has taught me that no matter how bleak things look, thereās always hope. ā ā if this adventure has taught me anything, itās that there are things in this world more valuable than power. ā ā a wise man learns from his mistakes, and strives not to repeat them. ā ā no more hiding things from me. agreed? ā ā my friend. my companion. i adore you. ā ā your face is sour. by all means leave, if i am so distasteful. ā ā careful, itās dark around here. would be a terrible shame to lose you forever. ā ā you startled me. iā¦i was miles away. ā ā you have to know who i was. you have to know who i really am. ā ā nothing special, of course. youāre only the first person who i truly care for. ā ā youāve got a backbone, and the makings of a leader. ā ā anything you ask, iāll answer as honestly as i can. ā
