For You, My Heart

Does Viren want Soren to die? Is he explicitly telling her to go out of her way to kill Soren? Nah, man. He pauses, thinks about it, weighs out his personal attachment to the question and views it as a pragmatist. Runaan is absolutely similar in this regard. 

"........I was. Should it have come to that...I would do what needed to be done."

"Yes, we Moonshadow are very excited. Not a single phase of the moon goes by without being properly appreciated. Whether it's with festivals or a quiet night spent with loved ones, it is always kept close to our hearts."

"The answer is really quite simple. I will do whatever it takes for the sake of Xadia and its people. Even if it means.........putting an end to something as foolhardy as trusting a human."

"I don't...really see how that's- an appropriate question to ask. That, uhm...Ethari and I...we did not hide anything from Rayla."

"Then go ask another elf or pick up a book specializing in such topics. Your rudeness can be taken elsewhere, thank you."

“.....There are........many theories about such a question, although I’m afraid I don’t have a concrete answer for you. It was created many, many, many years before I was even born- perhaps you could find a book or two about what others have researched and discovered and theorized?”

“It was...actually, much easier than anticipated. Rayla has always been a touch hotheaded and she becomes frustrated rather easily, but she never loses her focus. Her movements would, perhaps, become a bit sloppier, but after a bit of prodding, she listened and rectified the situation. She has always been strong and determined...but- much too softhearted.”

"Yes, I have. Though many speculate that they are nothing more than legend or, perhaps, native to an entirely new and undiscovered continent. Sadly, there are only tales of the gorgeous, powerful creatures and not a single sighting in Xadia."

"The...bow isn't really fit for you, Rayla."
