[There is a place Zevran almost pauses, where he wonders, for a moment, if Elissa has truly thought about what his life of excitement has brought him. It really has not all been lovers and wine, but he has always be sure to talk as if that was it.]

I do not compare you to the others I have been with - and there have been many - even the few I considered friends... even Rinna.

Because they are not you. I wish for you to understand, what I have said does not mean you are some person who is one of many to me. It could never be so. Even if I were to turn around and have sex with someone, it would not be the same to me at all. Because we are different. There would not be meaning to it. And while it would be fun, it would be the difference between a kiss and an orgasm. I believe the only way we truly part in philosophy on it is whether or not the kiss is worth pursuing.

No one before or after you could ever mean to me what you do. [Zevran's voice goes quiet.] You do understand that?
