FELLSILVER. If I hurl spells but think not of the consequences, I am nothing. If I take lives but count not the cost, I am nothing. If I steal in the night and see not the faces of the devastated come the next morning, I am nothing. If I make decrees like a ruler but undertake none of the other responsibilities of the throne, I am nothing. And if I do all these things in the name of the Watchful Order, I am less than nothing.

a selection of lines from the various companions' banter quotes (not cut scene dialogues!) from baldur's gate 3. these are generally spoiler free and non context specific so they can apply to different settings and dynamics! feel free to change names and the like to customize the prompts.

“Death can't have me. Not yet…”

“Calm yourself. There is plenty of me to go around.”

“Realmspace is vast. Countless worlds to be mapped, kingdoms to be conquered.”

“I have missed this. The adventure. The danger. The kicking of butts!

“Let me guess - you need something.”

“Such attention.. I never realised I was so popular.”

“Let's cook with fire, baby.”

“Do you intend to vocalise every thought?. Or just the most obvious ones?”

“Wherever we go, ye gods let there be something green.”

“Careful, or I will take your toy away from you.”

“Watch your elders and learn.”

“Perhaps try attacking the enemy?”

“So much we don't know, lingering in the furthest reaches of existence.”

“All the world's my stage and you're just a player in it.”

“The shadows are my friend.”

“Yes, yes, have your fun. It isn't you they're trying to kill.”

“Feet planted firmly on Faerûn, please.”

“Admirable stamina, yet terrible priorities.”

“Well you certainly have the 'omnipresent' part down, don't you?”

“I am ready, whatever may come.”

“My faith protects me.”

“Need a throat slitting?”

“Death greets us all - but not today.”

“You need my expertise?”

“Can you feel death's cold grip?”

“So many stars, so many mysteries yet to be discovered.”

“Death comes quietly.”

“And I thought we were going to be friends.”

“Locked tight, but there must be some way to open it.”

“No, you can't die. Get up, damn you!

“You had my attention, now you have my fury.”

“From silence to suffering.”

“So many worlds out there. You'd need a thousand lifetimes to see them all - more.”

“I hope this is important. For your sake.”

“Let them gaze deep into their own abyss, and wonder just what it is they are trying to achieve.”

“I ought to just burn this whole thing down.”

“We have slightly more pressing matters to attend to.”

“You have still have time to surrender.”

“Every kicked buttock, another step on the path.”

“Weave save me. I can't take much more…

“You are right to fear me.”

“Let me look around. Might be something that'll help me crack this thing.”

“Incredible, to think how many worlds exist beyond this tiny speck within a speck I call home.”

“I really wish I could cast a Hold spell on you.”

“I can fawn over my face later.”

“Ready for another round?”

“Keep your blade close.”

“I can't unlock it from here, but there must be a switch or a button somewhere…”

“No, that's not moving. There must be a way to open it somewhere.”

“Battle favours the fearless.”

“Sleep with one eye open, evil. Maybe both.”

“Gotta be something around here to unlock this thing.”

“Why do beautiful people taste better?. It hardly seems fair on the ugly - they have such wonderful personalities.”

“Oh, calm down. I'm happy to see you too.”

“Just go for the Magic Missile and fire away. Never fails.”

“Still standing, no matter what you heard.”

“Enough waiting. I crave blood.”

“Hang on - I won't allow this. You aren't dead, go it?”

“GODS, it's HOT in here!”

“No rest for the wicked, I see.”

“Better to hide than fight, sometimes.”

“Would that I could hide from you, too.”

“Are you feeling lonely, perhaps?”

“There is no right or wrong, only truth.”

“Battle is afoot - you can poke me once we are safe.”

“What good all this ethereal eladrin blood if I can still get pimples?”

“I should've been a drow. They have such stylish armour.”

“I am armed! Armoured! And entirely sick of your foolishness.”

“Let's have some fun.”

“War is an old woman's game.”

“No rest, be you wicked or wise.”

“I'm getting too old for this nonsense.”

“I would poke you back, but I fear that's what you want.”

“You have my attention - now do something with it.”

“You are insistent, are you not?”

“Do what must be done.”

“Your suffering will be spectacular.”

“Lest I sit down for a rest and not rise again.”

“Better to look evil in the eye. Even if it be very small.”

“I'm not built to crouch.”

“I think I could go another round.”

“Always the same old song.”

“Is perfection too much to ask?”

“Eyes on victory, tummy on dinner.”

“So many places to be.. and I chose Baldur's Gate.”

“I'm not opening that. Not from here, at any rate.”

“What is the point, if not victory?”

“Won't last much longer like this.”

“Let's hope the locals are friendly.”

“Let us show them how it's done.”

“Weapons high. Standards higher.”

“Must everyone be so exhausting?”

“What I would not give for a chunk of fresh honeycomb…”

“Which way to the nearest library?”

“Now this is my happy place.”

“Who shall I silence?”

“Stop, or die.”

“Wear your scars proudly.”

( bridgerton // accepting ) EMMRICH [ @breathandshadow ] WROTE: ❝I am in awe of your heroism.❞

❝HAIL THE MIGHTY HERO, CONQUEROR of rodents.❞ She smiled at Emmrich playfully as she held aloft a beautifully enameled box which emitted a faint squeaking. Mere moments ago it had held a puer tea aged for sixty years. An uncommon find and one she suspected Emmrich would enjoy. Unfortunately, an uninvited guest had dashed across the maid's foot. The poor thing had promptly screeched and dropped the box. The brick of tea, by some miracle, had landed neatly on the tea tray. Laeral's priority had been to catch the mouse before it got hurt. Easily accomplished with her reflexes. Alas, they would have to inspect the palace for any of its little friends . . .

The maid was stammering apologies, but Laeral put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Her predecessor had been a hard man to work for; ten years on and the staff still remembered how he'd trained them to jump. But, she did relax at Laeral's reassurance at least. ❝Oh please, Jocelyn, apologize when you've done something wrong and not a moment sooner.❞

She cooed reassuringly to the squeaking box as she stepped toward the door. ❝Pardon me as I show our uninvited guest the way out. You're welcome to join us, Emmrich, if you don't mind a turn in the gardens.❞ If nothing else, there were flowers in bloom, and their absence would give Jocelyn time to refresh the tea room.

( bridgerton // accepting ) SSZEFRYN [ @starlyht ] WROTE: ❝What I have learned is that charm can be taught.❞

BALBINA THRIVED IN DOCK WARD. She was a pretty enough thing she could have moved into the Sea Ward, but as she had told many a prospective patron, she wouldn't leave them for all the treasure in the Undermountain. She'd been born on these docks, after all — literally. Nearly plopped right into the sea. So when she grew into a lovely lass with oak brown hair and a voice that would enchant a siren, it was only by its waters that she would sing. She'd even turned down an invitation or two to sing at the palace.

Which had sparked an odd sort of friendship with the Open Lord. So odd no one outside of the Lord's intimate circle knew of it. That suited them both. Meant no one noticed when Balbina took the night off, and Laeral laughed in the taverns wearing her face. She was an uncannily good actress; if the whole Open Lord thing didn't work out, Balbina had said more than once, she might have a future in theater.

Laeral smiled remembering that as she sat in the Grog House, using lips spellguised like Balbina's to speak with a cleric who had quite the clever tongue. ❝That so?❞ Her voice was pitched up and rolling like the harbor bells that rang in ships. ❝Are you the one doing the teaching or the learning?❞

[fellsilver]

I don't intend to do a pt as her rn, but first attempt at Laeral

[fellsilver]

Also I still don’t buy the obligatory body snatching thing Greenwood is trynna pull when just in this trilogy The Simbul made El a new body. (Not the first time something like that has been done in these books!) Unless I get satisfactory reason for it in this book or Spellstorm, I will be ignoring the “Chosen have to periodically steal other people’s bodies” nonsense.

[fellsilver]

I oughta talk about Lael and griffons more

[fellsilver]

One step further Lael would incorporate the Shundar family’s heraldry into ALL of her clothing while in Evermeet, mingling it with that of Silverhand. She doesn’t feel a strong personal attachment to either house tbh, but she won’t allow any part of her identity to be erased because some bigots find it politically inconvenient

[fellsilver]

Actually I have a caveat. I recognize what canon has said about Lael’s relationship with Amlaruil, but I don’t accept it. She exclusively goes by Anamanué in Evermeet and does not even try to hide that she has an elven grandparent.

[fellsilver]

Honestly Laeral isn’t touchy about what name someone uses for her. Being called Anamanué would be odd because no one uses that name but it’s not unwelcome. Being called Lael/Laer/Lae would get an eyebrow raise if it’s from a stranger but not a correction unless she doesn’t like them (and she likes most people). She only insists on titles when it’s necessary or when she needs to knock someone down a peg. Very much a power play.

[fellsilver]

I wonder why most of the Seven use their middle names

[fellsilver]

Still hilarious to me Lael used to get mad at Qilué for impersonating her when she’s done the same for all sorts of people she knows including their other sisters
