Aerie 2013 b

Imoen: Y’know, Aerrers, when I see you fight… it’s like you’re a different person. You’re focused, aggressive, determined. Ya’ never back down.

Aerie: Oh… i-it’s true. When I fight… i-it’s like a wave comes over me and I’m swept up in the moment. S-suddenly, nothing else matters.

Imoen: That’s great, kiddo. But what we gotta do, is help you keep a hold of some of that focus and determination the rest of the time. So, just try to recall the feeling you get when you see a bad guy coming at you or the party…

Aerie: Okay, I-I’ll try… got it.

Imoen: Great! Now just try to hold on to that feeling. Remember, you might be scared, but damnit, you ain’t running from nothing!

Aerie: No, I wouldn’t run from nothing. Maybe from a monster though…

Imoen: Don’t be facetious, kid. Work with me here.

Aerie: No… I think its working. I’m starting to feel confident…

Imoen: That’s great kid!

Aerie: I can tell people what I really think… I mean, really… what’s the worst they could do? It’s not like I’ve never been tortured or beaten up before.

Imoen: Well, they could still kill you… but it’s a start.

Aerie: No… they could try. But if they do, they better make sure to get me with their first strike, because they won’t get another…

Imoen: Hmmm… maybe this is a little too much…

Aerie: So, what are you going to do about it? No, don’t tell me… soon as things become too much, you always go crying to your sibling like the little sissy you are.

Imoen: Yeah… you need to tone it down a little…

Aerie: ‘Help, help… I’m Imoen and I’m so weak even without my wounded heart… please help me!’

Imoen: T-that’s… that ain’t nice…

Aerie: Is that a tear? Pfeh… you make me sick!

Imoen: Damnit, Aerie, stop being confident!

Aerie: Oh… o-okay. Sorry.
