"[first meeting with the player in her prison, speaking Rivenese, then recognizing the player] You made it. But how'd you get past Gehn? [looks down after a moment] He must really believe I've gone mad. [looks back up at the player] I know what he's doing. He's watching you. He's waiting for you to make a mistake.
