{{TOC|limit=4}}

== Greetings ==

===Regular greetings===

Depending on their [[Halsin/approval|approval]] rating, Halsin may greet the player with:

Negative (<0):
* "What do you want?"
* "You wish to speak? Fine."
* "''Oak father grant me patience…'' what do you want?"

Neutral and above (0+):
* "Oak father preserve you."

If spoken to by someone other than the player character:
* "I'm afraid there's not much I can say - I've sworn confidence to someone else already."

=== Romance ===
Partnered - Halsin is ''primary'' partner:
* "My heart soars just to look upon you. What do you need?
* "Speak to me, lover."
* "All of nature's bounty pales next to you. Do you need something?"
* "You wish to speak? I am here for you."

Partnered - Halsin is ''secondary'' partner:
* "What word, my love?"
* "You truly are a feast for my eyes - nature outdid itself with you. Did you wish to speak?"
* "I have longed to hear your voice. Speak to me."
* "Nature has been most kind to let me share in your heart. What do you need?"

====Refusing to talk====

* Not bad, for a druid of my vintage.
</div>

====Interacting with an item====
''Referred in game devnotes as using something like a button, a lever or a book''
<div style="column-count:3">
''Out of combat''
* I shall see to this.
* Right away.
* Right away.
* I shall investigate.
* Yes.
* Leave it to me.
* Of course.
* I shall handle this.
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Sneaking''</div>
* Worth a look, perhaps.
* Right away.
* Better see to this.
* Let me see...
* I shall investigate.
* What do we have here?
* I shall see to it.
* Hmm...
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Combat''</div>
* At once.
* Consider it done.
* I shall handle this.

''Out of combat''

<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Sneaking''</div>
* Better take this.
* Interesting.
* Let me see...
* Must not leave this behind.

* Ought to take this.
* Free for the taking.
* Better take this.
* May serve some purpose.
* Better hold on to this.
* I shall claim this.
* I shall take this.
</div>
====Can't use an item====
''Out of combat/Sneaking''
* This is not the right moment.
''In combat''
* Hardly the time for this.
* I cannot allow this to distract me - not now.
* I must leave this, for now.
* Better wait until a safer moment.

====Opening a container====
<div style="column-count:3">
''Out of combat''
* I shall take a look.
* At once.
* Hmm, what is to be found?
* Allow me.
* Allow me.
* Something to be discovered?
* What lies within?
* Now, what shall I find?
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Sneaking''</div>
* What do we have here?
* What might be found?
* Let me get you open...
* Must be thorough.
* Better have a gander...
* What might this be hiding?
* Better see what is inside.
* Need to open this.
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Combat''</div>
* What lies within?
* Right away,
* I shall open it.
* Let me see.
* Better see this open.
* I shall deal with this.
* Better get this open.
* I need to get this open.
</div>

====Found a locked item====
''Something that can be unlocked from elsewhere''
* Locked. The means to open it may be nearby.
* I cannot open this. Better look around.
* Locked. I need to look elsewhere.
* No use. This must be unlocked from elsewhere.

====Found an inactive item====
''Something that can be activated from elsewhere''
* No use. This is controlled from elsewhere.
* I should look around for the means to turn this on.
* Dormant. I should search nearby.
* This will not work. I should look elsewhere.

====Picking a lock====
<div style="column-count:3">
''Out of combat''
* I shall see it unlocked.
* Let me see...
* Let me get this open. 
* This lock will yield soon enough.
* Very good.
* Better get this unlocked...
* Let me get this open...
* Locked? Not for long.
<br>
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Sneaking''</div>
* Just a moment.
* Consider it open.
* It shall be unlocked.
* I shall see it open.
* No lock shall thwart me.
* This lock shall yield to me.
* At once.
* Time this was unlocked.
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Combat''</div>
* Better get this open.
* Need this unlocked.
* I shall force the lock.
* Consider it unlocked.

</div>

====Pickpocketing====
<div style="column-count:3">
''Sneaking''
* Let me see what I can claim.
* Gently does it...
* A light touch is in order.
* It shall be done.
* A light step, and a lighter touch.
<br><br>
* Deftness is called for.
* Let me see what can be taken.
* Pilfering it is, then.
<br><br><br>
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''In combat''</div>
* An unusual strategy.
* In the heat of battle? So be it.
* Quite a distraction...
* I shall see it done.
* What a time for pilfering.
* Whatever it takes.
</div>

====Successfully picking a pocket====
<div style="column-count:3">
''Sneaking''
* The prize is claimed.
* What is to be had?

* A light touch pays off.
* Let me see...
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
<br></div>
* The lightest of touches...
* A successful pilfering.
* A rich bounty, I hope.
* Unnoticed. Good.
* Free for the taking.
* Light as a feather.
<br>
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''In combat''</div>
* Success.
* Quite a feat.
* My fingerwork stands to me.
* I surprise myself, at times.
* Unnoticed. Good.
* Deftly done. 
</div>

====Dipping Weapon====
<div style="column-count:3">
''Out of combat''
* I must use every advantage.
* This will do some damage.
* A useful advantage.
* A little extra damage-dealing. Good.
* This will prove a boon in a fight.
* I would not want to be on the receiving end...
<br>
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''Sneaking''</div>
* A welcome edge.
* A little extra bite.
* Better be careful where I point this...
* This shall prove fearsome in battle.
* I must seize every advantage.
* This will leave a mark.
<br>
<div style="padding-top: 0.7em">
''In combat''</div>
* All the more potent now.
* A most lethal coating.
* Woe betide my foes now.
* This shall wreak some havoc.
* A welcome advantage.
* I must seize every advantage.
</div>

===Camp followers===
==== Throwing Scratch's ball after he is dismissed ====
* Even the most loyal of companions needs his rest. Sleep on, Scratch.
* Scratch needs his rest. I can handle this without him. {{ref|The caption in-game reads "hand" instead of "handle"; this is likely an oversight.}}
* The poor dog is still weary. I must give him a chance to recover.
* The valiant Scratch deserves his rest. Best leave him be for another while.

==== Throwing Scratch's ball after his death ====
* I am sorry, Scratch.
* I torment myself - Scratch is not going to come.
* Poor Scratch. I hope he is at peace.
* I hope you are happy, wherever you are.

==== Throwing Boo ====
* Take flight, Boo!

== At Epilogue party ==
''Greeting''
* You made it! Now the revelry can truly begin.
''Near the bonfire''
* I cannot remember the last time I heard 'The Ballad of the Endless Spring' performed - now there's a ditty worthy of a knee slap.
* Perhaps the bard knows some of my favourites - unless my taste in music is too antique of course.
* Reunited with friends, amidst nature. What more could I wish for?
''At the table''
* I must be careful to not overindulge tonight, lest I lose control and slip into bear form...
* Withers has laid out quite a spread of food, for one comprising mostly of bone. Perhaps he wishes to live vicariously through the attendees' appetites.

== Party Banter ==
=== {{Banter|Astarion}} ===
* '''Halsin''': What do you know of Umberlee, Astarion?
* '''Astarion''': Oh, lots. Rhymes with 'under-sea' for one thing. Fitting, eh?
* '''Halsin''': I... I suppose it is, yes. But perhaps do not refer to her as such - she is a vengeful, capricious goddess. Who knows what may cause her ire.
* '''Astarion''': But she's fine with 'the Bitch Queen'? Give her some credit, Halsin.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Astarion''': I hear things got wild between you two. I hope no one was too badly mauled.
* '''Halsin''': We're all in one piece. Perhaps you'll join us next time.
* '''Astarion''': It's bad enough having one person with fangs trying to keep control of themselves. Two of us could be dangerous.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion stayed a spawn'')
* '''Halsin''': Astarion, I am astonished. To relish in intimacy again after such hardship is a wound many never recover from.
* '''Astarion''': Are you charging for this sage advice, or is sticking your nose into my business just a hobby?
* '''Halsin''': Jest all you will. I believe now in your honest heart.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion became an ascendant'')
* '''Halsin''': To give oneself wholly, and to have a lover totally in your thrall...? A harmless game, until it becomes real. I worry for the two of you, Astarion.
* '''Halsin''': For your sake, I hope some of it is just a fantasy, deep in your heart.
* '''Astarion''': Must you take everything so seriously? We're both happy with our arrangement - that's all that matters.

=== {{Banter|Gale}} ===
(At [[Last Light Inn]])
* '''Halsin''': Last Light Inn - hearth aglow and lanterns lit, just like a hundred years ago!
* '''Gale''': I imagine the vista was more idyllic back then. As were its patrons' chances of surviving the walk home.
* '''Halsin''': Still though, when you are expecting nothing but desolation, even a small glimmer of hope fills the heart.
<hr>
(At an abandoned house in [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
* '''Gale''': Home and hearth, reduced to ruins. The shadow curse stole more than the light from this place.
* '''Halsin''': That is why it must be stopped. Imagine, a whole century of life and love, denied the chance to ever take place.
* '''Halsin''': Whole generations were denied their chance to flourish. I must put this right, for them.
<hr>
(At [[Reithwin Town]])
* '''Halsin''': To think, long ago, the druids feared this market town would grow into a city, and threaten nature's realm... little did we realise what the true threat was.
* '''Gale''': Divination is a skill few can master. The rest of us must simply muddle along, content to view the past with a clarity the future rarely offers.
* '''Halsin''': Perhaps I can yet turn hindsight into foresight - provided the curse is lifted. A better way for all.
<hr>
(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
* '''Halsin''': I never favoured tombs - nothing but vanity. Upon death, mortal remains should be returned to nature, to nourish and replenish itself.
* '''Halsin''': To seal away that which a person no longer needs is to lessen the Oak Father's bounty for all.
* '''Gale''': I'm not sure Ketheric Thorm would prove the most bounteous of bodies...
* '''Halsin''': Yes, you are right. He is one sort I would rather seal away forever, to prevent his rot from causing any further harm.
<hr>
(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]])
* '''Halsin''': Brickwork and stonework - this place is far out of balance with nature. But the Oak Father will reclaim this all, eventually.
* '''Gale''': Not too soon, I hope. I've a craving for a soft bed, a hot bath and a large glass of Arabellan Dry - none of which I've ever found hidden under a log.
* '''Halsin''': You may thrive, but what of other life? A city is no place for wild creatures.
* '''Gale''': City's teem with life. Rats, pigeons, flies - they count no less, for all their more pestilent qualities.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Gale''': Wildshaping must sprinkle some spice on your love life, Halsin.
* '''Halsin''': Indeed it does. Did you never experience such delights with Mystra?
* '''Halsin''': I hear the gods enjoy taking on the form of swans, horses, eagles and the like when visiting with mortals.
* '''Gale''': Oh no. Quite the opposite, actually. She mostly preferred our interactions to be abstract and incorporeal. Most invigorating.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Gale; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Gale''': Halsin, you must have accumulated considerable wisdom on matters of the heart in your long life.
* '''Gale''': Anything you'd like to pass on to a strapping, love-struck wizard such as myself?
* '''Halsin''': Dispensing advice on matters of the heart would be like swapping boots - what suits me may be a poor fit for you.
* '''Gale''': Ah. Well, there's no faulting that logic. At least you didn't tell me to 'be myself'.
* '''Halsin''': Oh no, perish the thought. That can be outright cruel advice to offer in certain cases.

=== {{Banter|Karlach}} === 
(At [[Ruined Battlefield]])
* '''Karlach''': I can almost reconstruct this battle in my mind. Unfortunately.
* '''Halsin''': At least you were not present. Grim as it is now, it was worse on the day of the battle. A vivid wound upon my memory.
* '''Karlach''': Tsk. Poor man.
* '''Halsin''': I was lucky - I lived, when so many did not. It would take me a day and a night to recite the names of all the friends I lost.
<hr>
(At [[Last Light Inn]] Graveyard)
* '''Karlach''': Well, well. Who's buried here?
* '''Halsin''': Flaming Fists, Harpers, refugees, perhaps... The shadow curse has indiscriminate taste in victims.
* '''Karlach''': May they rest in peace.
* '''Halsin''': Peace and rest are strangers in these lands, until the shadows are banished.
<hr>
(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's cursed'')
* '''Halsin''': All gone... devoured by the shadows. Oak Father preserve us, it's just like a hundred years ago.
* '''Karlach''': Stay strong, bear man. We're still here.
* '''Halsin''': We are. Yet there is a burden to being the survivor... the witness to others' tragedies. It only grows heavier with time.
<hr>
(At [[Mason's Guild]])
* '''Halsin''': I knew one of Reithwin's head masons. She was a good woman, and strong as an ox.
* '''Karlach''': Really? Are strong women your type, Halsin?
* '''Halsin''': I don't discriminate against any type.
* '''Karlach''': Truly a bear man of the people.
<hr>
(At [[Moonrise Towers]])
* '''Halsin''': This fortress was a seat of the High Heralds, I believe. Long gone from here, of course.
* '''Karlach''': The who now?
* '''Halsin''': A council of intellectuals, respected throughout Faerûn - leading authorities on heraldry of course, but also history, genealogy, and diplomacy.
* '''Karlach''': Seems like diplomacy failed, if they allowed Ketheric Thorm to take over - twice.
<hr>
(At [[Moonrise Towers]] Throne Room)

(''If the shadowcurse hasn't been lifted'')
* '''Halsin''': I can only hope we still find time to vanquish the curse. I can think of little else.
* '''Karlach''': You can talk of little else too.
* '''Halsin''': I make no apologies for knowing what is important to me.
(''If the shadowcurse has been lifted'')
* '''Halsin''': We have lifted the shadow curse, but a new challenge awaits us.
* '''Karlach''': Baldur's Gate - we can't get there soon enough.
* '''Halsin''': I am... less anxious to find myself in a city. So removed from nature's power - I do not know how I will fare.
* '''Karlach''': Stick with me. I'll show you around and square up if anyone bothers you.
<hr>
(''While assaulting [[Moonrise Towers]]'')
* '''Karlach''': Take no prisoners.
* '''Halsin''': I doubt many will seek to surrender. But if they do... mercy costs us nothing, Karlach.
* '''Karlach''': Nothing but the win.
<hr>
(At [[The Lodge]])
* '''Halsin''': There is an admirable harmony to the Society of Brilliance. Beings of all sorts, united in the pursuit of intellect...
* '''Karlach''': The pursuit of intellect. Fun.
* '''Halsin''': Hailing from the Underdark can dampen one's sense of fun, I will admit. Down there, noises such as laughter tend to attract predators.
* '''Karlach''': Sounds like a place I used to know...
<hr>
(At [[The Blushing Mermaid]])
* '''Halsin''': You and I may struggle to go unnoticed in such environs, Karlach.
* '''Karlach''': True enough. Hard to hide pretty under a bushel.
* '''Halsin''': I meant more in terms of size. Folk of our stature can be a lure for drunkards seeking a brawl, I have found.
* '''Karlach''': Ooh! Fun.
<hr>
(At [[Guildhall]])
* '''Karlach''': I smell a fight brewing.
* '''Halsin''': Then let it brew. Some radical thinkers claim that peace is a valid option, you know.
* '''Karlach''': And miss a good barroom brawl? Not me, sir.
<hr>
(At [[Sorcerous Sundries]])
* '''Halsin''': This place reminds me of a magpie's nest. Random baubles, doodahs, and what-have-yous, all jumbled together without a care.
* '''Karlach''': Fun, right? Who knows what you could find.
* '''Halsin''': Danger, going by past experience. A cursed tome. An unstable spell. A haunted poppet...
* '''Karlach''': ''[In a singsongy voice]'' Haunted poppet, haunted poppet.
<hr>
(At [[Morphic Pool]])
* '''Halsin''': I cannot help but feel that destiny is tightening its grip on our forward path.
* '''Karlach''': Win or lose, we're nearly there, right?
* '''Halsin''': Indeed. But I just wanted to take the chance to say - it has been a pleasure, Karlach.
* '''Karlach''': The feeling's highly mutual, bear man.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Karlach''': You're old as sin, right Halsin? You must have lots of good stories.
* '''Halsin''': A few. But people always warm to the most salacious chapters.
* '''Halsin''': They forget how much I study, meditate, and as a bear - hibernate. I must have spent a hundred years or more asleep.
* '''Karlach''': Sleep and adventure. Maybe I'll come back as a bear in some future life.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Karlach; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Halsin''': Nature affords us few greater powers of healing than what love can provide, Karlach.
* '''Halsin''': I was concerned that your pursuit of a cure might cloud your final days. I am glad I was wrong.
* '''Karlach''': Me too. Even with so much at stake... in this little heart of mine, I've never been happier.

=== {{Banter|Lae'zel}} ===
(At [[The Counting House]])
* '''Halsin''': Such hoarding of wealth. A tomb for riches that could be put to better use.
* '''Lae'zel''': I've heard the same said of bears - the kind you take the shape of. They hoard, gorge, and hibernate through hard times.
* '''Halsin''': True... but only until the thaw, then life goes on. This gold may never see daylight again, while others go cold and hungry.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Lae'zel''': You've quite the appetite, Halsin. I'd wager you've bedded more of your foes than you've felled.
* '''Halsin''': Hmm. A challenging sum. The chimera has three heads... but does it still count as one?
* '''Lae'zel''': Must have been a challenging kill.
* '''Halsin''': Kill... yes.

=== {{Banter|Shadowheart}} ===
(In [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
* '''Halsin''': Once, you could hear nature's symphony in this place. Now it is quiet. Quiet and dead.
* '''Shadowheart''': I can make some animal noises, if it'll make you feel more at home.
* '''Halsin''': You bleat well enough as it is.
<hr>
(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] Forest)

(''If Shadowheart is still loyal to Shar'')
* '''Shadowheart''': Chin up, Halsin. I know you don't favour Lady Shar's darkness, but look - trees!
* '''Halsin''': I will not be taunted in this place - not after all it has taken from me. Show respect, or you will force my hand.
* '''Shadowheart''': Is that so? It's quite a hand...
(''If Shadowheart no longer loyal to Shar'')
* '''Shadowheart''': Halsin... were there ever wolves in these woods?
* '''Halsin''': Once, certainly. But not for a hundred years. Any that still prowl this land can scarcely be called wolves any longer.
* '''Shadowheart''': I see... a hundred years is too far back, for what I had in mind. No matter.
<hr>
(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
* '''Shadowheart''': So this is where you interred Ketheric Thorm, Halsin? Couldn't you have done a little more to prevent his return...?
* '''Halsin''': We did the best we could, under dire circumstances. You would suggest otherwise?
* '''Shadowheart''': All I'm saying is that it's more difficult to come back from the dead if you were chopped up and had the pieces delivered to different corners of the realm.
<hr>
(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]])
* '''Halsin''': I daresay you are no longer comfortable in this place, Shadowheart.
* '''Shadowheart''': That's an understatement if I ever heard one.
* '''Halsin''': True. But you are among friends. Whatever lies ahead, we shall face it together.
* '''Shadowheart''': Thank you.
* '''Halsin''': Shar's armies of destruction arose from within these halls.
* '''Shadowheart''': Those who do not listen to the reason of Lady Shar words must instead feel the keenness of her blade.
* '''Halsin''': You sound like a student - reciting words for a test without considering their meaning.
* '''Shadowheart''': I've considered them plenty. Besides, Lady Shar favours action over words. Try it out, sometime.
<hr>
(''While assaulting [[Moonrise Towers]]'')
* '''Shadowheart''': Odd that you're fighting Ketheric Thorm again, only this time with a warrior of Lady Shar at your side.
* '''Halsin''': They say that history does not repeat, but it does rhyme, now and again. This is a rather unharmonious example.
* '''Shadowheart''': Indeed. 'Shadowheart and Halsin, Sharran and Bear. Who would have dreamt of an alliance so rare'.
* '''Halsin''': Like I said - unharmonious.
* '''Shadowheart''': Second time's a charm, eh, Halsin? Let's make sure Ketheric Thorm is gone for good this time.
* '''Halsin''': Indeed. Though I wondered if you might have some empathy for him... both being former disciples of Shar.
* '''Shadowheart''': Hardly - he's merely one more obstacle - and a killable one, now that Nightsong is free.
<hr>
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]])
* '''Shadowheart''': This place is like some moist, unappealing maze. Can your nose guide us, Halsin?
* '''Halsin''': I fear not. The vapours in this alien cloaca are most bizarre.
* '''Shadowheart''': Cloaca...? You could have just said tunnels, you know. I'm nauseous enough as it is.
<hr>
(At [[Steel Watch Foundry]])
* '''Halsin''': The birthing ground of those steel monstrosities. I would feel little sorrow if this place should close forever.
* '''Shadowheart''': Oh come on, you have to be at least a little impressed by the craftsmanship. There's only so much you can do with wood.
* '''Halsin''': Not so, in my experience. There is little I cannot whittle.
* '''Shadowheart''': Did you do that on purpose...?
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Shadowheart''': Halsin, if I were a druid, what animal do you think I'd be?
* '''Halsin''': Given your memory issues, perhaps a goldfish?
* '''Shadowheart''': I'd hoped for something a bit more exotic... but would you carry around my fish bowl, feed me flakes of food?
* '''Halsin''': Only the finest, of course.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Selune'')
* '''Halsin''': I heard you learnt how to swim, Shadowheart - well done.
* '''Halsin''': You know, if you and your love ever wish to enjoy the waters with me, I could attempt a kelpie... or even a porpoise.
* '''Shadowheart''': Depends, are you buoyant? I may need a life preserver if I get in over my head.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Shadowheart, and Shadowheart chose Shar'')
* '''Halsin''': I heard what took place at Selûne's shrine, Shadowheart. Was such defilement truly necessary?
* '''Shadowheart''': Lady Shar demanded an offering, and I provided. Are you truly that scandalised, Halsin?
* '''Halsin''': More disappointed, I would say.
* '''Shadowheart''': Sounds like jealousy, to me. I couldn't risk your wild side getting too excited at the scent of blood...

=== {{Banter|Wyll}} ===
(At [[Ruined Battlefield]])
* '''Wyll''': My boyhood texts claimed bodies from this battle drifted downriver for a week.
* '''Halsin''': Many who deserved an honourable burial had to be abandoned. The shadow curse inspired great haste.
* '''Wyll''': That's right - you were there, weren't you?
* '''Halsin''': I was. Part of my spirit was shorn away from me here, and never left.
<hr>
(At [[Last Light Inn - Cellar]] Shrine)
* '''Halsin''': A shrine of Selûne, tucked away like an unsprouted seed.
* '''Wyll''': Another nature metaphor? I admire your consistency, Halsin.
* '''Halsin''': When you care about something deeply enough, it consumes every thought and word.
<hr>
(At [[The Waning Moon]])
* '''Halsin''': The scent of hops and barley is most persistent here, even after all this time.
* '''Wyll''': Enough to make me thirsty, even. I've always preferred wine to whiskey and ale, but I certainly wouldn't turn away a full flagon right about now.
* '''Halsin''': After the shadow curse, I became overly fond of honey mead and melancholy evenings by myself. Now I rarely imbibe - only on the most special of occasions.
* '''Wyll''': I say we put an end to your dry spell. Once Ketheric falls, the first round's on me.
<hr>
(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
* '''Wyll''': No signs of life - but the spirits of the past still linger here.
* '''Halsin''': Do I note some trepidation? Spirits are but echoes of nature's cycle. Most give no cause to elicit fear... most, but not all.
* '''Wyll''': When I was very young, father told me the dear ones we lose are quiet - but ever watchful.
* '''Wyll''': I think he meant to comfort me. But I shivered for weeks, thinking I was being hounded by wide-eyed spirits.
<hr>
(At [[Gauntlet of Shar]])
* '''Wyll''': The statuary in here is so triumphal. Even the worst of us can see ourselves as heroes.
* '''Halsin''': That is a truth that can evade minds far older than yours, Wyll. You are wise beyond your years.
* '''Wyll''': Not wise enough to avoid Sharran sanctums, apparently.
<hr>
(At [[Moonrise Towers Prison]])
* '''Halsin''': I am loathe to see anyone behind bars. It reminds me of my time as a guest of the goblins.
* '''Wyll''': That reminds me - how in the Nine Hells could goblins capture a chap as well-muscled as you?
* '''Halsin''': Poor choice of companions, for one thing - gladly rectified, since then.
* '''Halsin''': Besides, a large-enough pack of scavengers can take down even the strongest of bears.
<hr>
(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]] Tadpoling Centre)
* '''Halsin''': So many unfortunates must have been infected in this place. Imagine the horrors...
* '''Wyll''': I don't need to imagine. I've got the souvenir in my skull to prove it.
* '''Halsin''': Of couse, thoughtless of me, my apologies. But at least you cannot be infected twice... or at least, I hope not.
<hr>
(At [[Philgrave's Mansion]])
* '''Wyll''': Father always shooed me away from this place. 'More rats than a Waterdeep dungeon.'
* '''Halsin''': It is most unfair to pour such scorn on rats - they have their place in nature, same as you or I.
* '''Wyll''': And I don't get the sense that my father was being literal.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Wyll''': Halsin, tell me about the man behind the hulking wall of muscle.
* '''Wyll''': Do you actually do anything besides meditate, counsel, fight, train, and make love?
* '''Halsin''': Is such an existence lacking?
* '''Wyll''': Hm. Good question.
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 3 romance scene'')
* '''Halsin''': Very quick to say 'forever' to your newly betrothed, weren't you, Blade?
* '''Wyll''': Forever could be tomorrow. Better to promise to do your utmost, as long as you have the moments left to share.
* '''Halsin''': Scant few times I've seen youthful partnerships end well, but if anyone was formed to thrive in one, I think it may be you.

=== {{Banter|Jaheira}} ===
(At [[Bloomridge Park]])
* '''Halsin''': Ah, a glimpse of nature. Like a sip of water to parched lips, eh, Jaheira?
* '''Jaheira''': Baldurians think all druids to be hay-haired idlers, Halsin. Perhaps we ought not speak of nature - but high art, or politics?
* '''Halsin''': I think on them also. But nothing matches the splendour of an ancient tree.
* '''Jaheira''': It is so. And, should one favour bear-form, that tree in particular makes for excellent back-scratching...
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Jaheira''': Archdruid. You appear to gather a rather fanatic following wherever you go. A noble thing, to serve nature so tirelessly.
* '''Halsin''': I welcome all of nature's blessings, whether they come to me one at a time, or in multitudes. There is no shame in it.
* '''Jaheira''': Consider me put in my place. Clearly, I have been spending too much time among the city-folk.

=== {{Banter|Minsc}} ===
(At [[Baldur's Mouth]])
* '''Minsc''': See, Boo? They have made their repairs. The owner once used Boo to mop up her ale, and she and Minsc had a discussion on the matter.
* '''Halsin''': Trouble seems to seek you out, Minsc. I know the feeling - the larger you are, the more likely someone wishes to test themselves against you.
* '''Minsc''': Minsc sometimes wishes he was small as Boo - so that he might sit and listen to the storytellers in peace.
* '''Halsin''': Perhaps you should study the druidic arts - with wildshape, you could make yourself as diminutive as you please. Smaller than Boo, even.
* '''Minsc''': Oh. OHOHOHO.
<hr>
(At [[Felogyr's Fireworks]])
* '''Minsc''': Bah. Boo says the many colours remind him of home, but Minsc has never enjoyed these fireworks.
* '''Halsin''': They may have their purposes. You could cast fireballs of sorts, without having to spend years studying magic tomes.
* '''Minsc''': ...Archdruid. You are as formidable in mind as you are in muscle.
* '''Minsc''': Gather the sparking sticks, Boo! With sword in one hand and these in the other, we need truck with wizards no more!
<hr>
(''If the player is romancing Halsin in act 3'')
* '''Minsc''': Boo has been speaking to a certain squirrel-friend who frequents our camp, Halsin.
* '''Minsc''': He was turned from a red squirrel to a grey, all by one shocking sight. Minsc thinks you owe him an apology.
* '''Halsin''': Apologise for partaking in one of nature's most solemn rites? That squirrel should be glad to bear witness.
* '''Minsc''': ...No, Boo, I do not know what this has to do with the bears...
