 _self_say Many souls out there that need a person to talk to and support. 
 _partner_say I need a lot of support right now. 
 _self_say Lizzard what has gone on here that there is so much carnage.  What is it that you need? 
 _partner_say Falcons have preyed on my kind for far too long now, Priest. They killed most of my family. I'm desperate to find a deeper meaning to what we call life. 
 _self_say I understand the circle of life and what each and every person and creature has to deal with in their lives. All have a cross to bear. No one is more important than the next 
 _partner_say Is there anyway for me to escape these falcons or am I doomed forever? 
 _self_say You can never escape life. You can move and change scenery, but there will always be something else that invades a part of your life. There will always be obstacles. 
 _partner_say What if I die tomorrow though? Is that just the direction my life was meant to take? 
 _self_say Why do you worry about dying? No one knows when they will die. So what is the point of worrying. It is pointless. You are here to enjoy, care and live life, not think of dying. 
 _partner_say I need to re-wire my brain then. Dying is all I think about. Especially since most of my family died so sudden. 
 _self_say You need to take a higher life... prayer, care, live and enjoy! 
 _partner_say Thank you, Priest. I'll try to pray more. See life in a different light. 
 _self_say Just remember life! Life is for the living. Live it to the best you can.
