* '''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> | |||
* '''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> | |||
(In the 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 the Thorm 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> | |||
(Watching Last Light Inn fallen into Shadow) | |||
* '''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> | |||
(After the Fall of Ketheric) | |||
* '''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. | |||
==== Act Three ==== | |||
* '''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> | |||
* '''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. | |||
<hr> | |||
* '''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> | |||
(At the Bonecloaks) | |||
* '''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> | |||
(In Wyrm's Rock) | |||
* '''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> | |||
(In Cazador's 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 the 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. | |||
