Dialogue

Tarnished Haven

"Oh, hello. What are you doing lollygagging in town? Shouldn't you be out there slaying beast and breaking a sweat? My deadline is almost here!"

Alcazia Tangle

"Oh, hello. I bet you're wondering what such a famous personality is doing all the way out here. No, no. I don't do autographs. That would just cheapen the mood.

I'm working on a new piece for the Monastery Gazette. A sexy exposé on all things adventurous. I can tell by your smell that you're on a mission...or out of soap. How I would love to follow you on your exploits. Watch you destroy your enemies with ruthless impunity; witness how you scrub those tough-to-clean blood stains off your armor. Allow me the privilege to tag along and observe, would you?"

Sure. Tag along.

No thanks.

"Hey. Alright, then. You work on the killing and I'll work on my fawning."

"Come on, you can do better!"
