Heading to tushanshu :> Canon is The Witcher 2

[aenseidhe]

I've been a slave to humans once. If you're pouring so much of your time into learning every detail about me, I'd worry for your comprehension if you think I'll allow it to happen again so easily.

I can't stop you from placing me wherever you want - a cargo ship, a city buried in the distant future, a... turtle... But don't expect me to happily skip into it, mindless and compliant.

And don't expect me to live in a cozy hive with those dh'oine. Their stench alone will keep me up at night.

It'll happen anyway, whether you won't allow it or not. So get used to it.

[aenseidhe]

When your freedom is threatened, do you lay down in defeat the moment you're told it's hopeless?

[bearnecessities]

In this case, it's not so much laying down in defeat as much as it is just accepting that you've no control over your own life. I've done this song and dance.

[aenseidhe]

I see no difference. [ Says the one who called Elves trying to live peacefully in human cities worse than the humans themselves. Ayeap. ] No control over my own life would be the natural state of fate, yet it's not so. There's a very particular person deciding it.

[bearnecessities]

They could be the pluckers of fate. Everyone has a Destiny to follow along. This could just be your path. [Congratulations, you've caught her in a pleasant mood.]

[aenseidhe]

They're not. They're children playing idle games. My path is elsewhere, with my people. Not being the plaything for a child with too much power.

[bearnecessities]

Ah, but there you go. Too much power. See, what are you going to do in the face of that? Threaten her until she gives in? Because she won't.

Admit it. You're as helpless as the rest of us.

[aenseidhe]

And so I should merely cower and submit to being pushed to and fro? Are you usually so spineless, or have I caught you on an off day for giving a damn about free will?

I can agree with you on the dh'oine issue. They do indeed wreak of filth.
