'When it comes to raw power yes...However, now she knows she has a stolen life to make up for, yes, family, which I doubt just includes her parents, to survive to build that life with, she had more reason to keep living beyond Lady Shar's demands. The short term benefits just aren't worth that slight edge of power she'd under servitude to Shar.'

#cut out a lot of connecting scene for just the 'okay but no. we have the better shadowheart argument p1'#(with just yes the part I ultimately agree with)#it goes back and forth a good bit.#I love writing Ilz and Minthara debating goals and best methods to achieve and maintain them deeply....#if I can't write thousands of words of debate/argument between a couple #is it really a ship I'm going to obsess over for months?#probably not.#at least they don't get hung up on specific word choice. he and the emperor can get stuck #on semantics of singular words before even being able to get into the topic...#(....post game development. perhaps they're bad at communicating. and now aggressively will be sure they're saying the same #idea before anything else.)#.....within full context it's /much/ less one sided because Minthara will be allowed the good points the game didn't let her have #on things like taking the brain. being far more direct than they have to move now #admittedly also coming from the perspective of someone used to a very different position than working out of in BG #this is such a truncated version of this specific one.
