+(After dispelling the illusion at [[Sunlit Wetlands]])

+(Near [[Rosymorn Monastery]])

+* '''Astarion''': Oh, how ignorant of me. So it'll be free of foul-smelling beasts, then?
+* '''Gale''': Quite the opposite. Some monastic orders celebrated their pungency as proof of their devotion. 'To think is to stink' was the motto of one ill-fated brotherhood near Amn.

+(At [[Mason's Guild]])
+* '''Lae'zel''': 'Mason's Guild'. The githyanki would call this a or'mlar: an alliance of mlar.
+* '''Astarion''': And what is a 'mlar', exactly?
+* '''Lae'zel''': Builders, craftspeople - and the makers of the incomparable silver swords the kith'raki wield in battle.
+* '''Lae'zel''': The mlar may not be warriors, but they are no less valuable to my people.

+(At [[Rivington]])

+<hr>
+(At [[Bhaal Temple]])
+* '''Astarion''': I expected a temple to murder would be more fun. A little joyous, even.
+* '''Lae'zel''': There's no greater pleasure than battle. You face your enemy and conquer them, blade to blade, spell to spell.
+* '''Lae'zel''': But to take a life unawares is no more to be celebrated than plunging a dagger into a trapped rat.
+* '''Astarion''': Oh, I don't know - I've killed plenty of rats. I celebrated every time.

 * '''Astarion''': I used to be agog at everything when I first walked in the sun. Perhaps I'm adjusting to this new life.
 * '''Wyll''': It's when you use words like 'agog' that I remember you're actually two centuries old.
 * '''Astarion''': And it's when you think 'agog' is an impressive word that I remember you're just a child.
 <hr>
-* '''Astarion''': Ever heard of a vampire called Cazador, Wyll?
+(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] Fisherman's Hut)
-* '''Wyll''': Doesn't ring a bell. Why?
+* '''Wyll''': To think how vibrant this place must have once been. Children playing, merchants hawking. Real people living real lives.
-* '''Gale''': He's patriarch of the Szarr family. Nasty fellow, if the histories are accurate.
+* '''Astarion''': I know, can you imagine the noise? This is much more peaceful.
-* '''Astarion''': I imagine they are.<hr>
+* '''Wyll''': Come, Astarion. I know you're not really as heartless as all that.
+* '''Astarion''': Of course not, I'm a pussycat really. Just ask anyone who's seen my claws.
+<hr>
+(Approaching [[Moonrise Towers]])
+* '''Wyll''': Finally, we're approaching Moonrise Towers.
+* '''Astarion''': Nothing escapes the Blade of Frontiers' keen senses, I see.
+* '''Wyll''': Mock me all you want, Astarion. We could use a little comic relief.
+* '''Astarion''': Yes, that's why I'm mocking you - to keep our spirits up. No other reason...
+<hr>
+(At [[Moonrise Towers]] [[Oubliette]])
+* '''Astarion''': Admittedly, I don't care for most people, but this is a terrible waste.
+* '''Wyll''': Because their lives were cut brutally short, you mean.
+* '''Astarion''': I - ... yes, that. That's clearly what I was referring to.
+<hr>
+(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]])
+* '''Wyll''': The city fell under Gortash's charms without him casting nary a spell.
+* '''Astarion''': Well, most people are idiots, Wyll. You can lure them into a dragon's maw if you promise a bag of sweets.
+* '''Wyll''': The people aren't stupid, Astarion - they're scared. Gortash provoked a damned war, and then promised them safety.
+* '''Astarion''': Safety, sweets - it's the same principle.
+<hr>
+(At [[Wyrmway]])
+* '''Astarion''': I lived two centuries in this city, but it can still surprise me.
+* '''Wyll''': Baldur's Gate harbours many a secret. Even the longest-lived explorers have yet to uncover them all.
+* '''Wyll''': Speaking of - what were you getting up to all those years?
+* '''Astarion''': Let's not get into the details. If Baldur's Gate can have its secrets, so can I.
+<hr>
+(At [[Bloomridge Park]])
+* '''Astarion''': You know, I've never seen this place in the daylight before.
+* '''Wyll''': I always loved this park. Spent a lot of time here as a boy battling imaginary monsters.
+* '''Astarion''': Oh, I was going to say it looks wretched. The dark hid all the kitschy details.
+<hr>
+(At [[The Blushing Mermaid]])
+* '''Wyll''': Ah - the memories. The Blushing Mermaid's where fifteen-year-old Wyll snuck his first kiss.
+* '''Astarion''': You didn't kiss anyone until you were fifteen? Gods, what a tragic, sheltered life...
+* '''Wyll''': Sheltered? Not at all. I was exposed to all manner of riot and revelry. Hells, my father even urged me on once or twice.
+* '''Wyll''': But I've always been a bit old-fashioned on these matters. I find more pleasure in a courtly dance than a loveless fling.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 1 romance scene'')
+* '''Astarion''': I hardly saw you at the party. Did the honest and true Blade sneak off for a little fun?
+* '''Wyll''': No! Nothing like that at all.
+* '''Astarion''': Oh, but you protest too much. Now I know you were practicing your swordplay.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 2 romance scene'')
+* '''Wyll''': I'm surprised I never saw you lurking in the shadows at any Baldurian balls, Astarion.
+* '''Astarion''': The city's elite was not my target audience, alas.
+* '''Astarion''': People ask questions when members of the nobility disappear, and the last thing Cazador wanted was people asking questions.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Wyll; after act 3 romance scene'')
+* '''Astarion''': Marriage, Wyll? I thought you'd have learned not to get trapped by devious contracts.
+* '''Wyll''': I was planning to invite you to the ceremony, but I'm having second thoughts.
+* '''Astarion''': I'd love to come! As long as I can sit with someone fun. Mizora, perhaps?
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion; after act 1 romance scene'')
+* '''Wyll''': I'd watch yourself, my friend. I don't know if our pale rogue has anything good in his heart, or even a scrap of it left for you.
+* '''Astarion''': Excuse me? That's just mean - we're all adults here.
+* '''Wyll''': Your heart's cold as ice, Astarion. I'm just making sure no one slips and gets hurt.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion; after act 2 romance scene'')
+* '''Wyll''': Astarion, I just want to say - I judged you wrongly. I'm sorry.
+* '''Astarion''': Really? And how - specifically - have you misjudged my fine character?
+* '''Wyll''': You aren't actually insufferably randy. You're just insufferable.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion stayed a spawn'')
+* '''Wyll''': Astarion, I was wrong about you. Truly wrong about you.
+* '''Astarion''': Let me guess - you thought I'd suck blood, but actually I just suck? Was that your witty jab?
+* '''Wyll''': No, I mean it. There's little between us we share. But you've fallen in love and stood by your lover. That is something this dreamer's heart can appreciate.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion became an ascendant'')
+* '''Wyll''': The two of you are the unholiest union I can bloody imagine.
+* '''Astarion''': It's funny - I don't recall asking your opinion, Wyll.
+* '''Wyll''': You had the most precious thing - someone who would do everything for you - and you damn well took everything. 'Degenerate' doesn't half cut it.
-* '''Wyll''': As much love as I hold for Baldur's Gate, these frontiers delight me as much as any bustling street.
+=== {{Banter|Halsin}} ===
-* '''Astarion''': You can't be serious? This is a howling wasteland! I haven't even had a bath since the abduction. I must reek of illithid slime.
+* '''Halsin''': What do you know of Umberlee, Astarion?
-* '''Wyll''': Sure, but think of the stories you'll be able to tell.
+* '''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.

+(In [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
+* '''Minthara''': The shadows have lingered here so long, the land itself is corroded. A most persistent curse.
+* '''Astarion''': I think I know a thing or two about persistent curses, thank you.
+* '''Minthara''': The rashes and sores you may have contracted over your decades of philandering are not the kind of curse that concerns me.
+<hr>
+(''At [[Last Light Inn]], if it's cursed'')
+* '''Minthara''': Devoured by the darkness. They should have retreated while they had the chance.
+* '''Astarion''': And yet here we stand. We're either very clever or very lucky.
+* '''Minthara''': You do not need luck to survive, Astarion. Not when you have me.
+<hr>
+(At [[Grand Mausoleum]])
+* '''Astarion''': Ah, no shadow curse, plenty of funerary decor - I almost feel at home.
+* '''Minthara''': Stop gawking at the decor, spawn. This place is dangerous.
+* '''Astarion''': Yes, as I said - just like home.
+<hr>
+(''After defeating [[Ketheric Thorm]]'')
+* '''Minthara''': Did you expect to survive Myrkul's wrath, little spawn?
+* '''Astarion''': You'd be surprised, drow. I've survived a lot of things.
+* '''Minthara''': Greater horrors await us in Baldur's Gate. Best sharpen your fangs.
+<hr>
+(At [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]])
+* '''Astarion''': So many dark nooks and crannies - this fortress is a lurker's paradise.
+* '''Minthara''': Would you not prefer basking in the sun like a lizard now that it no longer blisters your pretty skin?
+* '''Astarion''': Old habits die hard, darling. Surely you know that.
+<hr>
+(At [[Bonecloak's Basement]])
+* '''Astarion''': No, this place feels all too 'Underdark'y for me.
+* '''Minthara''': You are speaking of my home, spawn. It is pleasant to be reminded of it.
+* '''Astarion''': Oh dear - you're not going to come over all pleasant and homely, are you?
+* '''Minthara''': To you? Doubtful.
+<hr>
+(At [[Szarr Palace]])
+* '''Minthara''': Ominous, yet austere. This place has its charms.
+* '''Astarion''': We're both learning a lot. Cazador kept this place all to himself.
+* '''Minthara''': I do not blame him. It is not the sort of place servants or spawn should sully with their presence.
+<hr>
+(At [[Baldur's Gate]] Waypoint)
+* '''Minthara''': Our illithid warns us away from what lies beyond that gate, but perhaps it underestimates us.
+* '''The Emperor''': You should listen to your illithid. It knows your weaknesses as well as it knows the brain's strengths.
+* '''Astarion''': Care to share any of Minthara's weaknesses? Or would it take too long to go through them all?
+* '''Minthara''': Watch your tongue, spawn. I need the illithid alive - you are expendable.
+<hr>
+(At [[Morphic Pool]])
+* '''Astarion''': We're getting close. I do believe fate is shuffling the cards for the final deal.
+* '''Minthara''': Let the cards fall. We have a strong hand to play.
+* '''Astarion''': And speaking personally, I intend to cheat.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 2 romance scene'')
+* '''Astarion''': So how does Lolth feel about romance? Are you expected to bite your mate's head off afterwards?
+* '''Minthara''': Be grateful I no longer follow the Spider Queen's teachings. If I did, you would be the first to fall into my web.
+* '''Astarion''': I can't tell if you're joking. She is joking, right?
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Minthara; after act 3 romance scene'')
+* '''Astarion''': So, what's it like caring for someone other than yourself, Minthara?
+* '''Minthara''': You have never tried it, I assume.
+* '''Astarion''': Gods no. It sounds like a lot of work.
+* '''Minthara''': It takes less work than you devote to maintaining your foppish facade. And it's far more rewarding.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion; after act 2 romance scene'')
+* '''Minthara''': Half the men of Menzoberranzan are pleasure-servants. Weaklings, whose beauty is their only redeeming quality.
+* '''Minthara''': You would fit right in with them, Astarion.
+* '''Astarion''': You think I'm beautiful? Oh, Minthara.
+* '''Minthara''': Hrmmph.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion stayed a spawn'')
+* '''Minthara''': Are you a better man now that you are loved, Astarion? Did they mend your ways?
+* '''Astarion''': I rather think they did. Can't imagine anyone wanting to do that for you, though dear.
+<hr>
+(''If the player is romancing Astarion, and Astarion became an ascendant'')
+* '''Minthara''': Would you ever consider sharing the gift of immortality with me, Astarion?
+* '''Astarion''': I think not. That is for me and my darling to share.
+* '''Minthara''': If they have prevented your eyes and fangs from wandering to other necks, it must be a special bond indeed.
