Errata...Jaheira's age, etc.
If I recall clearly, in the Forgotten Realms universe - and basically in all of TSR's gaming worlds - half-elves are supposed to be able to live to be around 450 years old or so (dwarves, by comparison, run a close second at 400). I wish I could remember exactly where I witnessed this in the dialogue, but a reference was made by Jaheira of her being involved in some sort of royal upheaval in Tethyr. I also recall reading one of the zillion history books you find in bookshelves in the various dungeons of the game that referred to the destruction of the royal house of Tethyr, and dated it as being around 150 years ago, from the current game time. If the connection is made here - and I make it, because of Jaheira's various references to Imoen as "child," and her own reference to a similar event - then Jaheira should be at least 150 years old.
As to Jaheira's quick rebound - well, it certainly isn't quick.
The romance takes the longest to play out, and she doesn't begin like 'ol Viccy - brazen and transparent. Rather, I have the impression that she begins to feel that she can confide in your PC, then moves on to developing feelings. At that point, she is obviously troubled and remains silent for periods of time as she considers things. She then begins to feel that Khalid is pleased with her "moving on" with you, and so begins to warm up. Doesn't sound so bad to me.
@Ode:
Concerning Viconia, it's obvious her life among the drow has scarred her deeply, which causes her to react in the manner she does. I've played the romance with her up to the point where she begins to actually apologize for the things she says, realizing that things are different on the surface. One can either simply react to the things she says - which I definitely consider pretty base - or see what's really going on with her. Mercy and forgiveness in drow society is lethal to the one giving it. No wonder she has a hard time with those concepts - she's never experienced them before!
I counter-act Anomen's bragging by inviting Jan Jansen to join the party. Makes for fun dialogue, like "Ano the dung orc." He sure has neat things to say to Anomen.
