Dialogue[edit]
When she is spoken to while the city is still under Imperial occupation:
- "I don't know what's worse: the Imperials strutting around beating people to death, or this vile mead.
I'm inclined to think the latter."
Once The Shifting Sands of Fate, she has a lot more to say.
- "My beloved brother has a better chance of squeezing fire salts from an ice cube than getting an apology from me."
- What are you and your brother fighting about?
- "Fighting? Oh no, no, no. This isn't fighting. This is deeper than that. This is a seething, simmering battle of wills. A vicious game of alit and guar where a single miscalculation can end in catastrophe."
- What are you and your brother seething and simmering about?
- "We immigrated here from Craglorn a month ago. I told him Hallin's Stand was a perfect place to sell our goods, given its close proximity to both Evermore and the Alik'r. He lauded my genius and quickly agreed."
- So what happened?
- "We were set upon by highwaymen out in the wastes and nearly starved before finally arriving here. Then what little merchandise we had left was seized by the Imperials."
- So why didn't you leave?
- "Remyon was furious and demanded an apology from me for getting us into this situation. I refused, calling him a netch-backed dandy. I said he was weak for whining.
So rather than leaving without me, he's gone out of his way to make me miserable." - How?
- "We both hate it here, but he gorges on their over-spiced meat, shovels their horse manure, loudly sings their obnoxious music … on and on and on. I must do the same or lose face."
- Why not just apologize?
- "And let him win? Dumac take it! I'd die a hundred deaths before I admit fault to that flat-headed s'wit.
So here we sit. Now if you'll pardon me, I have to prepare for a celebratory goat-milking competition."
