"Do you ever dream, my friend?" Jarlaxle asked.
"Everyone dreams." Entreri replied. "Or so I am told. I expect that I do, though I hardly care to remember them."
"Not night dreams," the drow explainied. "Everyone dreams, indeed, at night. But there are two types of dreamers, my friend, those who dream at night and those who dream in the day."
"Night dreamers do not overly concern me because there is nowhere for them to rise. But those who dream by the day... those, are the troublesome ones."
"Day dreamers are truly alive." Jarlaxle explained. "For daydreamers alone find perspective in existence and seek ways to rise above the course of simple survival."
"You do daydream," Jarlaxe decided." But only on those rare ocacasions your dedication to... to what, I often wonder? ... allows you outside your perfect discipline."
"Perhaps that dedication to perfect discipline is my dream."Entreri said.
"No," the drow replied without hesitation. "No. Control is the facilitation of fancy, my friend, it is the fear of fancy."
