Technically I'm a vampire spawn.
参考译文严格说来，我是吸血鬼衍体。
我就知道，你是吸血鬼

盖尔可能在亲历或目睹阿斯代伦咬噬他人后当面说破他的身份，也可能根据沿途观察主动得出结论。身份揭开后，他会追问阿斯代伦此前为何隐瞒。

版本 I条件 · 盖尔本人被咬
盖尔
Aha! I knew it. I knew you'd try something like that eventually. Though I wish you'd done it with a bit less enthusiasm.
参考译文哈！我就知道。我就知道你迟早会做出这种事。不过我倒希望你下手别这么热切。
盖尔
Still, I can hardly blame a vampire for being true to its nature. You are a vampire, are you not?
参考译文不过，我也不能怪一个吸血鬼顺着本性行事。你是吸血鬼，对吧？
版本 II条件 · 盖尔看见阿斯代伦咬了别人
盖尔
I've had my suspicions about you for some time now. And there you go, confirming them with truly audacious gusto.
参考译文我怀疑你已经有一阵子了。结果你就这么大张旗鼓地证实了我的猜想。
盖尔
You're a vampire .
参考译文你是吸血鬼。
盖尔
I think it's about time you and I had a little chat. An honest one.
参考译文我想我们该好好谈谈了。坦诚地谈。
盖尔
At first I wasn't sure. Some of your behaviour doesn't exactly match what my traveller's tomes describe of one of your... disposition.
参考译文起初我并不确定。你有些举动和我在游记里读到的那类存在不太一样。
盖尔
The ability to walk in broad daylight, for example, with not a burn in sight. I suppose we have your parasite to thank for that.
参考译文例如，你能在白昼行走，身上却连一点灼伤都没有。我想这得归功于你的寄生虫。
盖尔
But as for the rest - well, there can be only one conclusion. You're a vampire.
参考译文但除此之外，结论只剩一个：你是吸血鬼。
01 · 咬噬能力暴露与02 · 盖尔主动识破身份在此汇入03.1 · 回应盖尔的判断；两种入口可用的说法略有不同。
盖尔
Do not undersell yourself, you may not have the grand lair nor loyal swarm but a vampire spawn is still part of the vampire family. Technically.
参考译文别小看自己。你也许没有宏伟巢穴或忠心蝠群，但吸血鬼衍体仍算吸血鬼家族的一员。严格说来。
盖尔
The real conundrum here is why weren't you honest with me?
参考译文真正让我想不通的是，你为什么不对我坦白？
起源阿斯代伦
I am. But I'm a friendly one - I promise.
参考译文是。但我是友善的那种——我保证。
盖尔
There was nothing friendly about what you just did to me. But I'll humour you - we'll call that a momentary lapse in good sense, shall we?
参考译文你刚才对我做的事可一点也不友善。不过我姑且迁就你：就当那是你一时失了分寸，如何？
盖尔
The real conundrum here is why weren't you honest with me?
参考译文真正让我想不通的是，你为什么不对我坦白？
起源阿斯代伦
...How did you figure that out?
参考译文……你是怎么发现的？
盖尔
Oh, it was quite easy, really. I took note of certain abilities you possessed, certain aspects of your behaviour depending on our environment. And those teeth of yours. Quite the pair of canines.
参考译文其实很容易。我留意了你的某些本领、你在不同环境下的举动，还有那对牙齿。犬齿可真够显眼。
盖尔
The real conundrum here is why weren't you honest with me?
参考译文真正让我想不通的是，你为什么不对我坦白？
起源阿斯代伦
Couldn't be further off the mark.
参考译文你猜得离谱。
盖尔
No need to deny it. The bat's out of the bag, so to speak.
参考译文不必否认了。蝙蝠已经飞出袋子——这么说吧，秘密已经露馅。
盖尔
But why weren't you honest with me?
参考译文可你为什么不对我坦白？
选择 03.1A–D 并读完对应回应后，盖尔继续谈起自己的开明。
盖尔
I'm quite open-minded. It's one of my finer qualities, and there's some stiff competition in that department.
参考译文我可是相当开明的。这是我众多优点之一，竞争还挺激烈。
起源阿斯代伦
There's open-minded, and then there's 'happy to sleep next to a vampire spawn.' I didn't think you'd like it much.
参考译文开明是一回事，乐意睡在吸血鬼衍体身边又是另一回事。我以为你不会喜欢。

检定成功
盖尔
Nothing wrong with a bit of caution, I suppose. Better to sound out friends and enemies alike before revealing that kind of secret.
参考译文谨慎些也无妨。透露这种秘密之前，先摸清谁是朋友、谁是敌人，确实更妥当。
盖尔
With that said, I'm more than happy to continue onwards. But no more hiding things from me. Agreed?
参考译文话虽如此，我很乐意继续同行。但从今以后，别再对我隐瞒。说定了？
检定失败
盖尔
I can tell you what I don't like. Unwittingly sleeping next to someone with a taste for blood and a tendency to lie about it.
参考译文我可以告诉你我不喜欢什么：不知情地睡在一个嗜血、又习惯对此撒谎的人旁边。
盖尔
I'm happy to draw a line under the matter and move forward. But from here on, no more hiding things from me. Agreed?
参考译文我愿意把这件事翻过去，继续向前。但从现在起，不要再对我隐瞒。说定了？
起源阿斯代伦
I had no choice. My old master put a curse on me. Forbade me ever revealing my true nature.
参考译文我别无选择。我的旧主人给我下了诅咒，禁止我透露自己的真实身份。

检定成功
盖尔
How tragic. Well, lucky for you your master couldn't predict the observational cunning of our troupe's resident Waterdhavian wizard. Your silence spoke volumes.
参考译文真悲惨。幸好你的主人没料到，我们队伍里这位来自深水城的法师观察力如此敏锐。你的沉默已经说明了许多。
盖尔
With that said, I'm more than happy to continue onwards. But no more hiding things from me. Agreed?
参考译文话虽如此，我很乐意继续同行。但从今以后，别再对我隐瞒。说定了？
检定失败
盖尔
I'm sure you could have found your way around that with a bit of imagination.
参考译文我敢说，只要稍动点脑筋，你还是能找到绕开它的办法。
盖尔
I'm happy to draw a line under the matter and move forward. But from here on, no more hiding things from me. Agreed?
参考译文我愿意把这件事翻过去，继续向前。但从现在起，不要再对我隐瞒。说定了？
起源阿斯代伦
Most people don't react as well as you.
参考译文大多数人不会像你这样接受。
盖尔
I can see the truth in that. But you and I aren't 'most people'.
参考译文这话确实不假。但你我都不是“大多数人”。
盖尔
I don't care if you eat blood or boiled eggs for breakfast, but if we're to survive this parasitic adventure of ours, we have to trust each other.
参考译文你早餐吃血还是煮鸡蛋，我都不介意。但若想在这场与寄生虫相伴的冒险中活下来，我们就得信任彼此。
盖尔
With that said, I'm more than happy to continue onwards. But no more hiding things from me. Agreed?
参考译文话虽如此，我很乐意继续同行。但从今以后，别再对我隐瞒。说定了？
起源阿斯代伦
I'm telling you, I'm not a vampire.
参考译文我说了，我不是吸血鬼。
盖尔
I see. You're a dishonest vampire, and that's far worse.
参考译文明白了。你是个说谎的吸血鬼，这可糟得多。
盖尔
As you're not willing to engage in a frank conversation on the matter, I think we'll leave it there.
参考译文既然你不肯坦诚谈这件事，我想我们就到此为止。
03.2A、03.2B 的成功或失败结果，以及 03.2C，均继续至 03.3 · 回应盖尔坦诚的要求。03.2D 不进入本节。
起源阿斯代伦
I can promise you fewer secrets?
参考译文我可以保证……少隐瞒一些？
盖尔
*Sigh.* I suppose that will do for now. But none that pose the threat of imminent death or destruction, for me, or yourself, or anyone else for that matter.
参考译文唉。我想眼下也只能这样。但凡会给我、给你或给其他任何人带来迫在眉睫的死亡或毁灭的事，都不能瞒。
起源阿斯代伦
No more secrets, on my honour.
参考译文以我的名誉保证，再无秘密。
盖尔
You almost said that without smiling.
参考译文你说这话时，差一点就能忍住不笑了。
起源阿斯代伦
Say nothing. Stare into Gale's eyes, unblinking.
参考译文什么也不说，只是目不转睛地盯着盖尔的眼睛。
盖尔
I'll take that as a no, shall I? * Sigh *. It was worth a try.
参考译文那我就当你不同意了，是吧？唉。我还是想试一试。
选择 03.3A–C 并读完对应回应后，盖尔接着提议继续前行。
盖尔
Now, unless you've any other deep, dark secrets to own up to, shall we continue on?
参考译文那么，除非你还有别的见不得光的秘密要坦白，我们继续走吧？
