And Soignee, of course all disputes are solved with love. You don't think I jumped you out of anger do you? =( But for a milk sandwich to be involved, then Herr must have... well... what happens in the Zev thread stays in the Zev thread amirite?


I am disconcerted and intrigued at the same time.

Edit: pagetopper again?! Off to steal a picture it is again. From the wiki this time.

Speaking of creepy mutants, remember that scene in the X-men movie when Magneto and Mystique are messing with Rogue and she suddenly yanks off her gloves? I wish I could think of some innocent yet menacing action for Blair to do that says, "I'm *this far* from killing you."

And another thing about the earring refusal. The warden refuses because he/she wants it to mean something, but he tells you that it means something - that you mean something - even though he has difficulty with it and stumbles over the words. (And this is in the context of the warden not yet telling him something similar. Things like 'I'm glad to have you along' aren't as strong as what he has said and is saying.) And 'I have no better way to say it' is a confession of sorts. To say what? (I love his voice and expression in that line).

Yay Soigne is back! :wizard: (we need a party smily...)

IMO Zevinjection Friday sucked, and in future if Soigne isn't here it shouldn't happen...

The reason you can't find them Charsen is their mine. *hisses*

(I was going comment on DA Surivior thing, but I though better of it.)

Okay, I have a general idea of what soignee's barrowhand does from context, but where is that even from?

There are actually two reasons you can use to refuse the earring -- one is because you want the earring to mean something, the other is that you don't want the earring.  

And Zevran DOES have a better way to say it.  He is choosing not to at that point, for whatever reason.  He just isn't being honest there.  Again, I find the first offering of the earring hurtful.  I totally understand you not seeing it that way and I do understand your point of view on it.  It just has a different feel for me.  With the first offering of the earring, he goes out of his way to say he's NOT giving it as a commitment, that you should NOT get the wrong idea, it's just his way of saying thank you.  Of course I don't believe him, but what does accepting at that point say?  That you won't get the wrong idea, that it's ok that a gift like that is a "thank you" and that you really don't expect anything more?  It seems that way to me.

He has done his best to that point to make sure things are completely casual (to varying degrees of success depending on how you play it).

See, I don't think he's being honest at quite a few points in the game.  The earring is ONE place.  But with the earring, my warden has had enough of casual and is not willing to accept a gift that should have a lot of meaning unless that meaning can be spoken aloud.  But that's just the way I play it.  Your way is totally valid as well!

Edit: *grin* Sannox!  We're having a debate among duncan beard comments -- you think it would have been destroyed completely!

And yes, as a friend, he is still more
loyal and faithful than really is imaginable from when you first met
him.  And it's nothing to do with the oath -- that actually meant
nothing to him.  If you become friends with him, though, or his lover...
 Yeh, he's amazing.


Not only is it not about the oath, but you get major disapproval if that's the only thing you bring up later!

Although that reminds me--ejoslin, is there any way to add any extra lines to the post-Taliesan encounter where his approval is ~50? When I did it with my HN, the only two options to tell him you wanted him to stay were 1. "But you made an oath" and 2. "I want you to stay as a friend." The friend line did work for my HN, but it felt a little odd not to have something in between the two, maybe about the importance of defeating the blight or something. I dunno, just a thought.

Zevran does show that it means more but has trouble expressing it. [paraphrase]


He could say it better and it's hurtful that he's still pretending things are casual. [paraphrase]


OK, I'm just going to discuss the actual line that ejoslin added, since you two seem to have the debate down pat. :P
I do think that the line is appropriate, and that it even fits in with his response to it. The fact is that he clearly has more emotions but is still trying to avoid discussing them. When you ask him if it means more, he basically just brushes it off as "Stop asking me about that and just take it," so if you refuse to take the earring on the grounds that it means a lot to you, I could imagine him reacting the way he does out of frustration that it forces him to admit his feelings later on. I don't think he would necessarily react differently just because you are expressing that your feelings are deeper, since the whole point is you both already know that. His reason for getting upset is completely centered around the fact that you are not letting him get away with not expressing his emotions.

It's understandable not wanting it to say, "I love you," but if it's just saying that you care deeply about it, then it doesn't seem out of place.

I like being in among the Jib-Jabs!   I am watching them too!  :lol:.

'Don't get the wrong idea about it' is the most negative thing he says there, but it depends how you take it.  And it maybe depends on the previous dialogue.  Given that he may have just made a commitment and you haven't reciprocated, it could be taken as 'Don't worry, I'm not asking anything of you'.   I get the impression that he is doing what he feels rather than what he thinks, there.   He really wants to give you the earring.  Of course he doesn't want you to sell it - but he gives you permission to do so, he's not making you commit to anything by accepting it. 

'It's meant a lot to me'.  I would love to know more about that.  Why has it meant so much to him?  What is the symbolism?  It was his first job and it's implied that he had sex with the guy.  No wonder he is confused.   I'd like to know exactly what it meant to him, but maybe he doesn't know himself.   But I think it's clear in the conversation that the warden means a lot to him, and even that the gift means a lot. 

I just don't see it as dishonesty.   I can see how it can be seen that way.  But from his voice and expression, I don't feel he's trying to deceive.   And also from the conversation later, it becomes clear that he couldn't make the 'love' connection then - not for lack of it, but because of the associations for him.  

But ... in real life, I'm pretty gullible.  So maybe I'm just really bad at picking up on his dishonesty.  With that voice, he could say anything and I'd melt.  His soft tone when he says that he has no better way to say it is lovely.   I completely believe that he has no better way to say it.  

Yes, I do think it's OK to accept it, however it's presented (for my wardens - so far, anyway).   Even if he just said that he thought it would suit the warden, that would be fine.   Even if it was a 'thank you' - saving him from the Crows is a big deal.  And he has just been given freedom and chosen to stay with the warden anyway.   And he still talks about his feelings later, when he's able to.
