It's scary.

[she folds her arms.]

I don't like it. [she knows how childish that sounds, but.] I don't - want something new, I want this.

Then it will be a solution we consider low on the list.

For now we have your heart. Your original heart, preserved. Perhaps there is something to be done with that.

[she drags in a shaky breath.]

... I'm thinking about the monster trade thing. I haven't found mine yet.

[but she's been thinking about it really hard.]

I thought about trying to crawl into the swamp with it. My original heart. But it wouldn't be that easy.

I ... had a conversation with Astarion. I get the feeling my monster match does not wish to be found. If we are closer to the end of this, and we are both unmatched - and perhaps by some chance of fate available to do so, we should consider partnering. It wouldn't be a bad idea.

[ a lot of factors would have to work out, but. ]

Would it make you feel better if I were to discuss with Famine the details of this solution he has in mind?

I've got no idea if mine wants to be found. I've a hint, but it hasn't helped me so far.

[a pause.]

But I'd be alright with matching with you, if... it comes to that. [because she trusts him, and because - if it's their last resort, they're both ticking time bombs.

she rubs absently at her engine.]

If you want to talk to Famine, sure. Might be nice to get a second set of eyes on it.
