AS SAID BY KARLACH
* assorted dialogue from baldur's gate 3
i can't tell if you're flirting or threatening me. i'll take either one.
don't want the youths to think i'm not, you know, up with the times.
sometimes i look at you, and i just don't have words for this feeling. you are everything i ever hoped for. everything i thought i could never have. never deserve.
i just love listening to you speak.
i know i can make you melt.
i don't think i have it in me to share.
will you stay with me? when it's time.
what the fuck is happening to us?
you know, [name], i'm not sure i can trust you anymore. you're... different. a bit scary, to be honest.
i'm sweating bullets. what if i blow our cover?
it's good to see you smiling, [name].
look at you. the years have been good to you.
we're in the city on some urgent business, but can i come find you when it's all settled?
whose idea was this? was it mine? am i insane?
i'll rip your tongue out, you liar.
you can't possibly believe this shit.
what i wouldn't give for another hour together. another minute.
i can't believe you saw that. you're too young for that.
once you start, it's hard to stop.
now there's a name i'd hoped never to hear again.
this is it. i can practically taste his blood from here.
you're asking a lot. but i can wait - for a while, at least.
i don't want to put you in harm's way either. i'll wait for now.
now you're speaking my language.
sorry i haven't visited. i've been... away. but i'm back now! and i brought friends.
i miss you so much. but i'm happy. and getting up to some really important shit.
i just want to understand. i just want to know why.
this handwriting looks familiar.
do you know what you're doing?
sorry, i think you have the wrong person.
would you believe me if I said i've got to save the city?
glad to see you're so well set-up here.
if we can help them, we will.
you'll still be able to do your wizard thing, though, right?
i wouldn't mind doing a little shopping in the city.
to have someone who cares about you and throw them away... i don't know how you do it.
sounds like more your thing than mine.
i was just thinking the same thing, but less poetically.
you're good at staying in character. i'll give you that.
what a pesthole. can't wait to clear this place out.
good to know love is on the table though.
how could we let this happen?
let's just keep moving. i don't want to talk.
this place is absolutely beautiful. what a wonder.
hey, can i try something on you?
my heart isn't a toy, got it? treat it like one and you're going to get burned. badly.
my heart is telling me i love you.
if i didn't know better, i'd say you're falling in love.
you'd better step away before i do something i regret.
you give me chills, baby.
i'm not going anywhere. i've got plans for the future, you know. and they involve you.
to be honest, i'm kind of shocked you chose me.
if i can have you back, i've got a place for you here. cozy. warm. safe. and you can stay as long as you want.
it sounds like you really meant it.
revenge sounds so sweet until you've taken it. then all you have is... no one left to blame.
you know, for a while there, i wasn't sure you'd come back. but look at you. you've done what few could ever do - created your own path.
is it almost time for dinner?
don't tease me. my lonesome heart can't take it.
you really are the best of the best. of the best.
you know i'd do just about anything for you.
if he lays a finger on you, i'll break it off. that's a promise.
you and me. let's imagine. we have a whole life ahead of us. what do we do?
i'd love for you to show me where you came from. hear your stories. meet your people.
no moment is guaranteed. except this one. and this one. and maybe this one too.
i'm going to live. i get to be alive. i get to stay.
i've never felt better. like i'm finally complete.
and here i thought you had half a brain. how wrong i was!
i love you. and i know you'll choose your destiny, and choose it well.
you hear me? you're all i could ever ask for.
come on. there's something i want to show you upstairs.
i will miss you. but i wish you luck.
