3		6136320	
4		6136322	
5		6136323	
6		6136325	So you married a templar, huh?
7		6153965	
8		6153967	What of it?
9		6153968	
10		6153970	Are they all as dirty as they seem?
11		6153971	
12		6153973	What?
13		6153974	
14		6153976	Did he ever ask you to play "the naughty mage and the hapless recruit?" Maybe the "secret desire demon and the upstanding knight?"
15		6153977	
16		6153979	That's disgusting!
17		6153980	
18		6153982	I hear it's quite popular.
19		6136326	Do you ever miss Ferelden?
20		6153983	
21		6153985	Of course! It was home. I would never have left willingly.
22		6153986	
23		6153988	But I'm not going to be my father and spend my life trying to live a memory.
24		6153989	
25		6153991	I didn't think I'd give it a second thought once I was gone. I mean, what did Ferelden ever do for me?
26		6153992	
27		6153994	But I do. I think about it. There's something here that just doesn't feel right.
28		6153995	
29		6153997	You mean how mages are treated?
30		6153998	
31		6154000	No... I think there's not enough dog shit.
32		6136327	So, I never expected to be palling around with the captain of the guard.
33		6154001	
34		6154003	We're not "pals."
35		6154004	
36		6154006	We're not? What about that time we painted each other's toenails?
37		6154007	
38		6154009	Do you want something?
39		6154010	
40		6154012	Love, life, and liberty. What more does a man need?
41		6154013	
42		6154015	You're in a jolly mood.
43		6154016	
44		6154018	Well, when you're here, I know you're not leading men into Darktown to arrest me.
45		6136328	Can I ask you something, Aveline?
46		6154019	
47		6154021	I cannot look the other way when mages break the law—
48		6154022	
49		6154024	That's not what I was going to ask.
50		6154025	
51		6154027	There's a girl. A mage apprentice. She... was murdered in the Gallows recently. Have you heard anything of it?
52		6154028	
53		6154030	You mean the girl you killed.
54		6154031	
55		6154033	Yes. I'd like to... attend the funeral. Do something.
56		6154034	
57		6154036	The official templar report says she was killed by a demon of unknown origin.
58		6154037	
59		6154039	Let her family mourn in peace.
60		6136329	I suppose you're just thrilled how the knight-commander's basically stepped into the viscount's seat?
61		6154040	
62		6154042	She can't stall the process forever. It's not her place.
63		6154043	
64		6154045	Leaving the viscount's seat empty will just tempt people to fight for it. It will cause more trouble than it prevents.
65		6154046	
66		6154048	Well. You've got a brain in there after all.
67		6154049	
68		6154051	I was convinced that headband was to keep it from falling out.
69		6136330	Your husband agrees with me.
70		6154052	
71		6154054	About what?
72		6154055	
73		6154057	He thinks the knight-commander's mad. He told me she's gone behind your back to investigate guardsmen she suspects as secret mages.
74		6154058	
75		6154060	Even if that were true, he wouldn't tell you.
76		6154061	
77		6154063	He won't fight for her when the time comes. Would you turn against your own husband?
78		6154064	
79		6154066	I don't know if you're lying or crazy.
80		6136331	
81		6136332	
82		6136334	Where did you learn your magic?
83		6154096	
84		6154098	I mean, you know my feelings on the Circle, but usually it's the only decent training a mage can get.
85		6154099	
86		6154101	My father taught me. He was in the Circle once, trained there. But he got away.
87		6154102	
88		6154104	You don't know how lucky you were, to have someone who loved you <emp>and</emp> could help you. Most mages would kill for that.
89		6154105	
90		6154107	You remind me of him.
91		6136335	The Rite of Tranquility is the whole problem. If they didn't have that to hold over us, we'd have so many more options.
92		6154108	
93		6154110	Right! If we want to fight back... or just engage in intelligent debate... they make sure we can't do it.
94		6154111	
95		6154113	They're forcing our hands. There's no way to change things peacefully.
96		6154114	
97		6154116	There must be something.
98		6154117	
99		6154119	If it's Tranquility or death, we have no choice but to make every confrontation a life-or-death struggle.
100		6154120	
101		6154122	I know, but... there are good people in the Circle, the Chantry. There has to be a way to reason with them.
102		6154123	
103		6154128	Not if they take away your ability to reason.
104		6136336	
105		6136337	
106		6136339	I'm sorry about your sister. She sounds like a special girl.
107		6154187	
108		6154189	Why? Because she was a mage?
109		6154190	
110		6154192	Your brother says she had a good heart. Being on the run never made her bitter.
111		6154193	
112		6154195	Your other sister says she was a good person. She never turned down a chance to help people.
113		6154196	
114		6154198	Yes, yes. I'm sure the Chantry's got a shrine with her portrait on it.
115		6154199	
116		6154201	I was trying to be nice.
117		6154202	
118		6154204	Stick to surly. It works for you.
119		6136340	Nice day to be planning a trip into the Deep Roads, don't you think?
120		6154205	
121		6154207	The Blight, the dampness, the festering darkness filled with tainted rats...
122		6154208	
123		6154210	Shut up.
124		6154211	
125		6154213	You've got a real chip on your shoulder, you know?
126		6154214	
127		6154216	I've got a big <emp>blade</emp> on my shoulder, magey.
128		6154217	
129		6154219	Right. Wonder what you're compensating for.
130		6163402	
131		6163403	
132		6163405	You ever going to stop harping on the mages here?
133		6163406	
134		6163408	No.
135		6163409	
136		6163411	They aren't what you saw in Tevinter.
137		6163412	
138		6163414	The moment they are free, mages will make themselves magisters.
139		6163415	
140		6163417	They're slaves! You should want to help them!
141		6163418	
142		6163420	I don't.
143		6163421	So, there must be mages in Tevinter who don't use blood magic.
144		6163422	
145		6163424	Of course. There are slaves. The magisters do not hesitate to collar their own kind.
146		6163425	
147		6163427	But no magisters?
148		6163428	
149		6163430	Why must you go on about this? No magister would turn down an advantage over his rivals. If he did, he'd be dead.
150		6163431	
151		6163433	You know, to use blood magic, you need to look a demon in the eye and accept his offer.
152		6163434	
153		6163436	I just figured some of them would say no. For esthetic reasons, if nothing else.
154		6163437	Is there something you want, Anders?
155		6163438	
156		6163440	You really don't have the temperament for a slave.
157		6163441	
158		6163443	Is that a compliment or an insult?
159		6163444	
160		6163446	I'm just wondering how your master didn't kill you.
161		6163447	
162		6163449	How have the templars not killed you?
163		6163450	
164		6163452	I'm charming.
165		6163453	Did you ever think about killing yourself?
166		6163454	
167		6163456	I could ask you the same thing.
168		6163457	
169		6163459	I'm serious. To get out of slavery, to escape Danarius... don't tell me you never thought about it.
170		6163460	
171		6163462	I did not. To kill oneself is a sin in the eyes of the Maker.
172		6163463	
173		6173756	You... believe that?
174		6173757	
175		6163465	I try to. Some things must be worse than slavery.
176		6163466	
177		6163468	Some things are worse than death.
178		6163469	Do you still support the knight-commander?
179		6163470	
180		6163472	I don't care a fig for her. But she's the only one holding back the madness in this city.
181		6163473	
182		6163475	Holding back? She's howling at the bloody moon!
183		6163476	
184		6163478	Even her own people think she's lost it.
185		6163479	
186		6163481	What will it take for you to see that she's crazy?
187		6163482	
188		6163484	Mages in glass houses shouldn't throw fireballs.
189		6163485	
190		6163486	
191		6163488	You were an idiot to leave Hawke.
192		6163489	
193		6163491	And you were fast enough to replace me.
194		6163492	
195		6163494	I love her.
196		6163495	
197		6163497	I love him.
198		6163498	
199		6163500	You can't even imagine what that is.
200		6163501	
201		6163503	Do not bare your heart to me, mage. Unless you would see me rip it out.
202		6163504	
203		6163506	I can't imagine what Hawke sees in you.
204		6163507	
205		6163509	It is done. Leave it be.
206		6163510	
207		6163512	Well, good. I always knew she had some sense.
208		6163513	
209		6163515	Well, good. I always knew he had some sense.
210		6163516	
211		6163518	Do not make light of this. Leaving was the hardest thing I've ever done.
212		6163519	
213		6163524	Oh, will you two get over yourselves?
214		6163525	
215		6163527	
216		6163528	
217		6163530	I did her, too.
218		6163531	I did him, too.
219		6163532	You're like two dogs around a bitch in heat.
220		6163533	
221		6163535	We were talking about Hawke. Not you.
222		6136350	
223		6136351	
224		6136353	I keep thinking I know you from somewhere...
225		6163541	
226		6163543	You're Fereldan, right? Ever spend time at the Pearl?
227		6163544	
228		6163546	That's it!
229		6163547	
230		6163549	You used to really like that girl with the griffon tattoos, right? What was her name?
231		6163550	
232		6163552	The Lay Warden?
233		6163553	
234		6163555	That's right! I think you were there the night I—
235		6163556	
236		6163558	Oh! Were you the runaway mage who could do that electricity thing? That was <emp>nice</emp>...
237		6163559	
238		6163561	I don't think I need to know this about either of you.
239		6163562	Please stop talking. Now.
240		6136354	Sometimes, I think you have the right idea.
241		6163563	
242		6163565	Handcuffs, whipped cream, always be on top?
243		6163566	
244		6163568	I never used to give two bits what anyone thought of me.
245		6163569	
246		6163571	Justice once asked me why I didn't do more for other mages. I told him it was too much work.
247		6163572	
248		6163574	But I couldn't go back after that. Couldn't stop thinking about it.
249		6163575	
250		6163577	Sometimes, I miss being that selfish.
251		6163578	
252		6163580	Huh? Were you talking? I was still at "whipped cream."
253		6136356	What makes this relic of yours so valuable?
254		6163608	
255		6163610	The same thing that makes anything valuable. Someone's willing to pay for it.
256		6163611	
257		6163634	That's not evasive.
258		6163635	
259		6163637	Look, I didn't get where I am by showing my hand, you know? 
260		6163638	
261		6163640	No, your <emp>hand</emp> isn't what I hear you've been showing.
262		6136355	Do you never have any regrets?
263		6163581	
264		6163583	About what?
265		6163584	
266		6163586	Anything? Everything? I can't figure you out.
267		6163587	
268		6163615	The past's past. I learned that young. If it can't bring you gold or giggles, what's the point in dwelling on it?
269		6163616	
270		6163618	Maybe the chance to fix a mistake? Make things right again?
271		6163619	
272		6163621	Eh. Our mistakes make us who we are.
273		6164295	
274		6164297	That was almost profound.
275		6136357	You're not nearly as selfish as you pretend.
276		6163641	
277		6163643	Hey! You take that back!
278		6163644	
279		6163646	You had your relic. You were gone. There was no reason for you to come back and face the Qunari.
280		6163647	
281		6163649	I still don't have a ship. I thought I could get one.
282		6163650	
283		6163652	From a bunch of shipwrecked Qunari?
284		6163653	
285		6163655	From the viscount. I just got here late.
286		6163656	
287		6163658	I always knew you had a heart of gold.
288		6163659	
289		6163664	Shh! Don't tell anyone.
290		6136358	I can't believe you're still not taking sides.
291		6163718	
292		6163720	I told you, I only like to be on top.
293		6163721	
294		6163723	I mean against the templars! You like freedom, right? You hate slavery.
295		6163724	
296		6163726	Why wouldn't you side with the mages?
297		6163727	
298		6163729	Maybe I just don't like <emp>you</emp>.
299		6136359	
300		6136360	
301		6136362	So, when you first did blood magic, it was... just an accident, right?
302		6163730	
303		6163732	You cut yourself and realized the power? You didn't actually deal with a demon?
304		6163733	
305		6163735	Oh, no. I did. 
306		6163736	
307		6163738	Why would you do that?
308		6163739	
309		6163741	I needed his help. He was really very nice about it.
310		6163742	
311		6163744	Of course he was! He's using you to get a foothold in a mortal brain!
312		6163745	
313		6163747	He's a spirit. He offered me his aid. I hardly think you're one to criticize.
314		6136363	Maybe you don't really understand the difference between spirits and demons.
315		6163748	
316		6163750	Did I ask you?
317		6163751	
318		6163753	Spirits were the first children of the Maker, but He turned His back on them to dote on His mortal creations.
319		6163754	
320		6163756	The ones who resented this became demons, driven to take everything mortals had and gain back the Maker's favor.
321		6163757	
322		6163759	Your "Maker" is a story you humans use to explain the world.
323		6163760	
324		6163762	We have our own stories. I don't need to borrow yours.
325		6136364	Do Dalish honestly not recognize the difference between demons and beneficial spirits?
326		6163763	
327		6163765	We've never thought of the Fade as the home of our gods.
328		6163766	
329		6163768	It is another realm, another people's home. No different or more foreign than, say, Orzammar.
330		6163769	
331		6163771	You can say that again.
332		6163772	
333		6163774	But have you never studied the types of demons? They break down very clearly into different sins—
334		6163775	
335		6163777	Spirits differ from each other, just as you and Hawke and Isabela are all human.
336		6163778	
337		6163780	More or less...
338		6136365	It's not a good feeling, you know.
339		6163856	
340		6163858	What?
341		6163859	
342		6163861	Being an abomination. I just got a taste of your future.
343		6163862	
344		6163864	I'm not that foolish. Our relationship is, um, strictly platonic.
345		6163865	
346		6163867	It's like you're trapped in your own body, seeing out your eyes, while someone else moves you like a puppet.
347		6163868	
348		6163870	And you're trying to scream, to move a single muscle, but there's no escape. Until you look down at the blood on your hands...
349		6163871	
350		6163873	Stop it. You're scaring me.
351		6163874	
352		6163876	That's the point.
353		6136366	Your Keeper did not deserve that death.
354		6163877	
355		6163879	It was my risk to take! I never asked her to do this for me.
356		6163880	
357		6163882	She knew you didn't have the strength to resist the demon. That's why it picked you.
358		6163883	
359		6163885	Why are you doing this? What can I do about it now?
360		6163886	
361		6163888	Make up for your mistakes. Most blood mages never get a second chance.
362		6136367	You must join us. Do you see that now? You must stand with Kirkwall's mages.
363		6163889	
364		6163894	It's not my fight.
365		6163895	
366		6163897	You can't hide in Sundermount.
367		6163898	
368		6163900	Your clan is dead.
369		6163901	
370		6163903	There is no place for you among the Dalish.
371		6163904	
372		6163906	No! My clan is all I ever cared about! Everything I did, I did for them!
373		6163907	
374		6163909	On second thought, maybe <emp>don't</emp> try to help us.
375		6172238	
376		6172239	
377		6172241	Hawke was a fool to let you move in.
378		6172242	
379		6172244	You'll only betray her. That's all your kind can do.
380		6172245	
381		6172247	You'll betray him. Even if you don't mean to, you will.
382		6172248	
383		6172250	Why do you only do this to me? Are you jealous? You never got upset about Hawke and <emp>Isabela</emp>.
384		6172251	
385		6172253	You can't really get jealous because someone sleeps with Isabela. It's just... understood.
386		6172254	
387		6172256	She's like a side dish. She comes with the meal.
388		6172257	
389		6172259	Only if it's a good meal.
390		6172260	
391		6172261	
392		6172263	Is that supposed to be Andraste's face on your crotch?
393		6172264	
394		6172266	What?
395		6172267	
396		6172269	That... belt buckle thing. Is that Andraste?
397		6172270	
398		6172272	My father had this armor commissioned when I took my vows as a brother.
399		6172273	
400		6172275	I'm just not sure I'd want the Maker seeing me shove His bride's head between my legs every morning.
401		6172276	So, you were invested as a brother in the Chantry, right?
402		6172277	
403		6172279	I had just taken my vows when I learned my family was killed.
404		6172280	
405		6172282	But you... gave sermons and took confessions and such, right?
406		6172283	
407		6172285	Do you have something you wish to confess?
408		6172286	
409		6172288	I just want to know, what do you <emp>say</emp> when people have questions?
410		6172289	
411		6172291	What's your answer when someone asks "so, if Andraste preached freedom and ended slavery, why do you lock up mages and keep them as slaves?"
412		6172292	
413		6172294	No one ever asked that.
414		6172295	Go ahead. Say it.
415		6172296	
416		6172298	Say what?
417		6172299	
418		6172301	I saw you watching me.
419		6172302	
420		6172304	I was looking at the clouds.
421		6172305	
422		6172307	Don't give me that. I know you've been judging me.
423		6172308	
424		6172310	You think I'm out of control. How can I claim to speak for mages when I'm half demon myself?
425		6172311	
426		6172313	The one over there looks a bit like a bunny rabbit.
427		6172314	
428		6172316	I saw that too!
429		6178503	
430		6172317	How can you have so much faith? Does nothing bother you?
431		6172318	
432		6172320	You're bothering me.
433		6172321	
434		6172323	The Maker left us to our own devices generations ago.
435		6172324	
436		6172326	He's never going to step back in, start listening to our prayers again. He's gone.
437		6172327	
438		6172329	Doesn't that bother you?
439		6172330	
440		6172332	He's a merciful lord. He could have destroyed our world when we failed Him, but instead He gave us a chance at redemption.
441		6172333	
442		6172335	Should we not be joyful?
443		6136368	
444		6136369	
445		6136371	What?
446		6163967	
447		6163969	Just wondering if the feathered pauldrons are an essential part of the moody rebel mage persona.
448		6163970	
449		6163972	What are you talking about?
450		6163973	
451		6163975	I'm working on an epic poem about a hopelessly romantic apostate waging an epic struggle against forces he can't possibly defeat.
452		6163976	
453		6163978	What do you mean, "can't possibly defeat?"
454		6163979	
455		6163981	Well, it's not a good story unless the hero dies.
456		6136372	Why'd your people build so many bloody roads, anyway, Varric?
457		6163982	
458		6163984	Where were they trying to <emp>go</emp>?
459		6163985	
460		6163987	Anywhere but here.
461		6163988	
462		6163990	I mean, you have to question the collective sanity of people who live in a city powered by raw lava running through its walls.
463		6163991	
464		6163993	So, you're not having any warm dwarven feelings of homecoming?
465		6163994	
466		6163996	The only road Orzammar needs points straight up.
467		6136373	Boiling in oil.
468		6163997	
469		6163999	Too prosaic. Trapped in a cave with hungry bears, right at the spring thaw.
470		6164000	
471		6164002	That lets him off too easy. Dipped in molten gold and left as a statue in the Viscount's Keep.
472		6164003	
473		6164005	Ooh. That's poetic!
474		6164006	
475		6164008	What are you two talking about?
476		6164009	
477		6164011	What to do to Bartrand when I find him.
478		6164012	
479		6164014	Any suggestions?
480		6136374	Oh, cheer up, Blondie. You're making me cry just looking at you.
481		6164015	
482		6164017	Don't.
483		6164018	
484		6164020	You made a mistake. It happens.
485		6164021	
486		6164023	I <emp>killed</emp> a girl.
487		6164024	
488		6164026	I almost killed a girl.
489		6164027	
490		6164029	You've killed two-hundred and fifty-four by my last count. Plus about five hundred men, a few dozen giant spiders, and at least two demons.
491		6164030	
492		6164032	It's not the same.
493		6164033	
494		6164035	Why? Because this one you feel bad about? Maybe <emp>that's</emp> the problem.
495		6136375	You're giving me that look again. What are you writing this time?
496		6164036	
497		6164038	So, you and Hawke... I need some details. Did you go down on one knee?
498		6164039	
499		6164041	Did she jump you?
500		6164042	
501		6164044	Did he jump you?
502		6164045	
503		6164047	Did you swear eternal vows of love, or is this just a physical thing?
504		6164048	
505		6164050	I don't see how that's any of your business.
506		6164051	
507		6164053	Fine. But if you don't tell me, I'm just going to have to make it up.
508		6136376	So, the knight-commander... Boiling in oil? That one never gets old.
509		6164054	
510		6164056	This is past time for joking.
511		6164057	
512		6164059	I'm helping you indulge in elaborate revenge fantasies. I think it's good for you.
513		6164060	
514		6164062	Meredith will die. Do not doubt that.
515		6164063	
516		6164065	Go away, Justice. Can Anders come out and play?
517		6164066	
518		6164068	Stop.
519		6164069	
520		6164071	You are <emp>no</emp> fun anymore.
521		6136251	
522		6136377	
523		6136379	
524		6160600	
525		6160602	
526		6160603	
527		6160605	I hear good things about you, Anders. Not what I expected.
528		6160606	
529		6160608	From a mage, you mean.
530		6160609	
531		6160611	I didn't say that.
532		6160612	
533		6160614	How else would you judge me? What else am I a shining example of?
534		6160615	
535		6160617	I don't know... other Fereldans lurking in Darktown? Mage or not.
536		6160618	
537		6160620	You... have a fair point.
538		6160621	
539		6160622	
540		6160624	I could use your consult, Anders.
541		6160625	
542		6160627	Bring it to Darktown, and I'll get you a salve or something.
543		6160628	
544		6160630	What? No! I need to know some things about mages.
545		6160631	
546		6160633	Why?
547		6160634	
548		6160636	I'm a guard. I'm the first person who has to deal with... trouble.
549		6160637	
550		6160639	You want help killing people like me.
551		6160640	
552		6160642	Not <emp>every</emp> mage can be trusted.
553		6160643	
554		6160645	Nor every guard.
555		6160646	
556		6160647	
557		6160649	You're glaring, Anders. Is there a reason, or is it one of your moods?
558		6160650	
559		6160652	Your term as captain hasn't been particularly "mage friendly."
560		6160653	
561		6160655	I've only turned a handful over to the templars.
562		6160656	
563		6160658	Every despot starts somewhere.
564		6160659	
565		6160661	And yet I allow an abomination to whine at me! Credit where it's due.
566		6160662	
567		6160663	
568		6160665	So you're two people, Anders and... Justice?
569		6160666	
570		6160668	That's not strictly accurate.
571		6160669	
572		6160671	But you are of two minds.
573		6160672	
574		6160674	Many people are.
575		6160675	
576		6160677	Now you're the one not being accurate.
577		6160678	
578		6160680	I thought those were the rules of this game.
579		6160681	
580		6160683	I never know who I'm talking to with you.
581		6160684	
582		6160686	Then it's fortunate it doesn't occur often.
583		6160687	
584		6160688	
585		6160690	I have to admit, Anders. Of the mages I know, you're the one I expected to go out in a blaze.
586		6160691	
587		6160693	The day is young.
588		6160694	
589		6160696	It was a compliment, you ass.
590		6160697	
591		6160699	No, it wasn't.
592		6136388	
593		6160725	
594		6160727	
595		6160728	
596		6160730	Out of your element, Bethany?
597		6160731	
598		6160733	I thought Kirkwall would be a new start, but it seems like such an unforgiving place.
599		6160734	
600		6160736	It's changed hands more than once. They're careful about their borders.
601		6160737	
602		6160739	It's hard to think of us as that kind of threat.
603		6160740	
604		6160742	Looked at your sister lately?
605		6160743	
606		6160745	Looked at your brother lately?
607		6160746	
608		6160748	There is that.
609		6160749	
610		6160750	
611		6160752	You show admirable restraint, Bethany.
612		6160753	
613		6160755	For a mage, you mean.
614		6160756	
615		6160758	I could also say "for a Hawke," but yes, for a mage.
616		6160759	
617		6160761	You have a sword. Why aren't you killing someone right now?
618		6160762	
619		6160764	Fair point, but I can put my sword down.
620		6160765	
621		6160767	Believe me, I have tried.
622		6160768	
623		6160769	
624		6160771	I'm sorry I couldn't get you more information about the Circle, Bethany. It's difficult without naming you.
625		6160772	
626		6160774	Thank you for being discreet. I don't want the templars at my door.
627		6160775	
628		6160777	No one does.
629		6160778	
630		6160780	Let them corral the troublemakers. I just want information.
631		6160781	
632		6160783	Right. Right.
633		6160784	
634		6160786	It sounds like I'm trying to convince myself, doesn't it?
635		6160787	
636		6160789	I wouldn't have said. But yes.
637		6136397	
638		6160799	
639		6160801	
640		6160802	
641		6160804	No unnecessary violence, Carver.
642		6160805	
643		6160807	Tell that to my sister.
644		6160808	
645		6160810	She knows. She may not listen, but she knows.
646		6160811	
647		6160813	Tell that to my brother.
648		6160814	
649		6160816	He knows. He may not listen, but he knows.
650		6160817	
651		6160819	But I need special supervision, is that it?
652		6160820	
653		6160822	Yes.
654		6160823	
655		6160825	All... all right then.
656		6160826	
657		6160827	
658		6160829	I don't like some of the people you've been associating with, Carver.
659		6160830	
660		6160832	Talk to my sister. She's the one in charge.
661		6160833	
662		6160835	Talk to my brother. He's the one in charge.
663		6160836	
664		6160838	Maybe, but I know you get around.
665		6160839	
666		6160841	Who says I don't mean her too?
667		6160842	
668		6160844	Who says I don't mean him too?
669		6160845	
670		6160847	This city's full of people who are dead set on ending badly. I don't want to see you end up the same way.
671		6160848	
672		6160850	Would asking you to stop spying on me help in the least?
673		6160851	
674		6160853	No.
675		6160854	
676		6160855	
677		6160857	So, Carver, have you thought about what you'll do if your expedition doesn't pay off?
678		6160858	
679		6160860	This is our only chance and you know it.
680		6160861	
681		6160863	You're so damned proud you couldn't pick up a trade?
682		6160864	
683		6160866	And who would take a Fereldan apprentice? Maybe in another year I could work my way up to piss-boy.
684		6160867	
685		6160869	Fine, let's crawl down some holes. Good bloody luck for your sake.
686		6136403	
687		6160938	
688		6160940	
689		6160941	
690		6160943	Are you safe, Fenris?
691		6160944	
692		6160946	No.
693		6160947	
694		6160949	You know, some guards give people the opportunity to lie if it will keep the peace.
695		6160950	
696		6160952	You can see what I am. Lie to yourself if you must.
697		6160953	
698		6160954	
699		6160956	You are known, Fenris.
700		6160957	
701		6160959	What?
702		6160960	
703		6160962	I'm going through Jeven's neglected reports. Some involve you. And requests about you.
704		6160963	
705		6160965	By whom?
706		6160966	
707		6160968	I don't know. They're old, poorly kept. But you should be on your best behavior.
708		6160969	
709		6160971	Thank you for getting rid of them.
710		6160972	
711		6160974	I didn't.
712		6160975	
713		6160976	
714		6160978	All right, I'm just going to say it. Fenris, you need to present yourself better.
715		6160979	
716		6160981	What are you talking about?
717		6160982	
718		6160984	You're squatting in Hightown. I sympathize with your claims, but your neighbors have influence.
719		6160985	
720		6160987	My claims?
721		6160988	
722		6160990	To the estate. "Rightfully stolen" isn't exactly something I can forward to the viscount. Be more discreet about... yourself.
723		6160991	
724		6160993	I shall endeavor to exist with less offense.
725		6160994	
726		6160995	
727		6160997	Fenris, did you consider my offer for you to train the guard in Tevinter fighting techniques? I've heard nothing.
728		6160998	
729		6161000	My abilities were inflicted, not taught. I will not pass that on.
730		6161001	
731		6161003	Some good should come of them.
732		6161004	
733		6161006	No.
734		6161007	
735		6161008	
736		6161010	Do you feel like a citizen, Fenris?
737		6161011	
738		6161013	Excuse me?
739		6161014	
740		6161016	You've been in Kirkwall as long as I have. Does it feel like home?
741		6161017	
742		6161019	It <emp>feels</emp>. That itself has been a surprise.
743		6161020	
744		6161022	I think I know what you mean.
745		6161023	I think I had a chance for that and missed it.
746		6161024	I have no comparison, really. It feels like a free place.
747		6161025	
748		6161027	Maybe that’s enough.
749		6161028	
750		6161030	We shall see.
751		6161031	
752		6161032	
753		6161034	There's a war coming. Does it feel different, fighting by choice?
754		6161035	
755		6161037	You were never ordered to kill?
756		6161038	
757		6161040	I was a soldier, but I was willing.
758		6161041	
759		6161043	I was willing, as well, but not by choice. <desc>Laughs</desc> If that makes any sense.
760		6161044	
761		6161046	Does anything in this mess?
762		6136412	
763		6161047	
764		6161049	
765		6161050	
766		6161052	So, Isabela. You're a captain?
767		6161053	
768		6161055	That's right, big girl. What of it?
769		6161056	
770		6161058	I don't remember your name on any registries. Every ship that docks has to declare.
771		6161059	
772		6161061	I never docked, and you're no port authority.
773		6161062	
774		6161064	And you... are no merchant.
775		6161065	
776		6161067	Ooh... scrutiny.
777		6161068	
778		6161069	
779		6161071	Well. "Captain." Can I call you captain? You can call me captain.
780		6161072	
781		6161074	I won't be doing that.
782		6161075	
783		6161077	Neither will I. Because you're a <attrib>guard captain</attrib>. No real authority. Not like on a ship.
784		6161078	
785		6161080	Well, you would know about having a large number of men under you.
786		6161081	
787		6161083	You've been waiting to use that one. Did you practice?
788		6161084	
789		6161086	Shut up.
790		6161087	
791		6161088	
792		6161090	I had trouble with another of your women, Isabela. She stole from a... distracted client. You're lucky she wasn't jailed.
793		6161091	
794		6161093	My women? I am but a shepherd. And what free enterprise are you oppressing now?
795		6161094	
796		6161096	Theft is not enterprise.
797		6161097	
798		6161099	Opportunities insufficiently guarded. Victimless crimes.
799		6161100	
800		6161102	Except for all the victims.
801		6161103	
802		6161105	Details. Victimless details.
803		6161106	
804		6161107	
805		6161109	So, how good is Donnic? Is he cocksure?
806		6161110	
807		6161112	<desc>Sighs</desc> Just... get it out of your system.
808		6161113	
809		6161115	Did he curl your toes?
810		6161116	
811		6161118	Pudding your peach?
812		6161119	
813		6161121	Dwarf your beard? 
814		6161122	
815		6161124	Grope your grinder?
816		6161125	
817		6161127	Dampen your Divine?
818		6161128	
819		6161130	Float your frigate?
820		6161131	
821		6161133	Arl your Eamon?
822		6161134	
823		6161136	Pamper your Paragon?
824		6161137	
825		6161139	Kaddis your Katie?
826		6161140	
827		6161142	Shank your Jory?
828		6161143	
829		6161145	Gray your Warden?
830		6161146	
831		6161148	Establish his canon?
832		6161149	
833		6161151	Praise your Maker?
834		6161152	
835		6161154	Or master your taint? That's an old one.
836		6161155	
837		6161157	How about "satisfy a demand of your Qun."
838		6161158	
839		6161160	Or did he Cup your Joining?
840		6161161	
841		6161163	Yes, all right? He is an incredibly proficient lover. Happy?
842		6161164	
843		6161166	Well that's rather personal, don't you think?
844		6161167	
845		6162086	
846		6162088	So, Donnic was in the Rose.
847		6162089	
848		6162091	He was <emp>not</emp>!
849		6162092	
850		6162094	Easy, big girl. He wasn't shopping for himself. You're lucky to have a man who wants to please you.
851		6162095	
852		6162097	But, maybe you could indulge him more. Are there areas of intimacy you haven't explored?
853		6162098	
854		6162100	Why? Why do you give me these doubts!
855		6162101	
856		6162103	Aveline. If you shove your thumb up his ass, I win.
857		6171263	
858		6171266	Ew!
859		6171267	Ah, that old chestnut.
860		6171265	<desc>Laughs</desc>
861		6171268	Just... no.
862		6171269	Ugh. Maker.
863		6171270	<desc>Coughs</desc>
864		6162104	Good. Happy for him. He needs to calm down.
865		6162105	
866		6162107	You're tough on the man. I don't see how it's his fault if you missed your chance.
867		6162108	
868		6162110	Isabela, I realize that you are always prepared for a sudden random phallus, but for your own safety, shut your mouth!
869		6161183	
870		6161184	
871		6161186	You know, Isabela. If someone had told me that I'd put up with you for all these years, I'd have punched them flat.
872		6161187	
873		6161189	And if someone had told me you'd leave first, I'd have called them daft.
874		6161190	
875		6161192	Don't celebrate yet. It'll take time.
876		6161193	
877		6161195	Do I look like I'm smiling, big girl?
878		6161196	
879		6161198	Don't bullshit me with “respected rival” garbage now. You're not sorry to see me go.
880		6161199	
881		6161201	No. But I'm sorry you gave up.
882		6161202	And if someone had told me I'd still be here, I'd have done the same.
883		6161203	
884		6161205	You have your ship. What’s stopping you?
885		6161206	
886		6161208	Save your bits, you'll have your ship one day.
887		6161209	
888		6161211	And what would you do without me as a constant headache in the Rose?
889		6161212	
890		6161214	Someone would rush to fill the hole. You know, like you never left.
891		6161215	
892		6161217	That’s my girl.
893		6171271	
894		6171273	Maybe you win once in a while.
895		6171286	
896		6136421	
897		6163109	
898		6163111	
899		6163112	
900		6163114	I would like to know more about being a guard, Aveline.
901		6163115	
902		6163117	I don't think that's the job for you.
903		6163118	
904		6163120	I know, but it might help me not get caught.
905		6163121	
906		6163123	You probably shouldn't have said that part.
907		6163124	
908		6163126	Why?
909		6163127	
910		6163129	Just... never mind.
911		6163130	
912		6163131	
913		6163133	Why don't you arrest us, Aveline?
914		6163134	
915		6163136	What?
916		6163137	
917		6163139	We break the law. I'm pretty sure. There are laws for almost everything. You're not a bad guard, are you?
918		6163140	
919		6163142	No!
920		6163143	
921		6163145	That's good. Is it because you're fond of Hawke? I kind of am.
922		6163146	
923		6163148	How very nice for you. Keep it to yourself.
924		6163149	
925		6163151	I'd rather keep it with her.
926		6163152	I'd rather keep it with him.
927		6163153	That's good. You look uncomfortable. Did I say something wrong again?
928		6163154	
929		6163156	No, Merrill, that's fine.
930		6163157	
931		6163159	Ah. Maybe it's your shoes.
932		6163160	
933		6163161	
934		6163163	You're incredibly talented, Merrill. I can see you are meant for great things.
935		6163164	
936		6163166	Thank you!
937		6163167	
938		6163169	But you're stupid.
939		6163170	
940		6163172	I'm sorry, what?
941		6163173	
942		6163175	Don't you think it would be better to work on where you are now, instead of recreating old glory?
943		6163176	
944		6163178	No. No, that's kind of the opposite of what I've been saying. I'm the stupid one? Whatever.
945		6163179	
946		6163180	
947		6163182	<desc>Giggles</desc>
948		6163183	
949		6163185	Yes?
950		6163186	
951		6163188	Is it like you thought? It's nice, isn't it? He seems nice.
952		6163189	
953		6163191	Yes, he's very nice.
954		6163192	
955		6163194	I know! And you're so cute when you're with him! Not like normal-you at all!
956		6163195	
957		6163197	Haven't you got something unholy to do?
958		6163198	
959		6163200	No, we're following Hawke. That's important, too.
960		6163201	
961		6163202	
962		6163204	Aveline, what's in your mirror?
963		6163205	
964		6163207	What do you mean?
965		6163208	
966		6163210	In your mirror. What do you see?
967		6163211	
968		6163213	A warrior. A wife. All the mistakes I made to get here and make it right.
969		6163214	
970		6163216	A Guardian. All the people I protect. Doubt, sometimes.
971		6163217	
972		6163219	Why? What have you decided to see?
973		6163220	
974		6163222	My mirror is broken. But I think... I think I see good things.
975		6163223	
976		6163225	Maybe a headband.
977		6163226	Demons. And... cracks.
978		6163227	
979		6163229	Sometimes it's hard to tell. Cracks, mostly.
980		6163230	
981		6163232	Maybe I'll borrow yours sometime. If that's all right?
982		6163233	
983		6163235	It's all right.
984		6163236	
985		6163237	
986		6163239	I didn't expect you to stick around for this mess, Merrill. This has nothing to do with your elves.
987		6163240	
988		6163242	I love Hawke. I wouldn't go anywhere.
989		6163243	
990		6163245	But it's not your fight.
991		6163246	
992		6163248	I love Hawke.
993		6163249	
994		6163251	You said that.
995		6163252	
996		6163254	I say it a lot. It makes things clearer. Takes away doubt when everything is crazy and people are dying.
997		6163255	
998		6163257	I understand.
999		6163258	
1000	6163260	Oh good. Someone should.
1001	6163261	What about you? You're quitting!
1002	6163262	
1003	6163264	That's complicated.
1004	6163265	
1005	6163267	Not if I understand it. You're walking away, like... like everyone does.
1006	6163268	
1007	6163270	Sometimes, it's the best choice.
1008	6163271	
1009	6163273	It's the easiest. You're supposed to do the hard stuff. That's why... I liked you.
1010	6163274	It shouldn't be. Not when people need you. I don't want to give up like that.
1011	6163275	
1012	6163277	Sometimes they give up on <emp>you</emp>.
1013	6163278	
1014	6163280	Friends don't do that. I wouldn't.
1015	6163281	Everything affects everything. We were born, a bunch of things happened, and now we're in a mess with our friends.
1016	6163282	
1017	6163284	That seems too simple.
1018	6163285	
1019	6163287	Simple is good. It sneaks up on you, makes you smile.
1020	6163288	
1021	6163290	 Or maybe it says, "Hey, over there!" And kills with a pin.
1022	6163291	
1023	6163293	Merrill?
1024	6163294	
1025	6163296	Simple, Aveline. Not stupid.
1026	6163297	Maybe that should be enough once in a while.
1027	6163298	
1028	6163300	Simple it is.
1029	6136430	
1030	6161226	
1031	6161228	
1032	6161229	
1033	6161231	Varric, do you <emp>do</emp> anything?
1034	6161232	
1035	6161234	Am I the next stop in your career evaluations? Joy of joys.
1036	6161235	
1037	6161237	You watch and you talk. Is that it?
1038	6161238	
1039	6161240	You are dismissing hallmarks of both the utterly ineffectual and the incredibly dangerous.
1040	6161241	
1041	6161243	I don't know what you mean.
1042	6161244	
1043	6161246	It means coins flow when I talk <emp>and</emp> when I shut up. Like if you got paid to guard or unguard.
1044	6161247	
1045	6161249	That makes no sense.
1046	6161250	
1047	6161252	Good.
1048	6161253	
1049	6161254	
1050	6161256	Maybe I should put you to use, Varric. Have you pen some warnings for the lawless.
1051	6161257	
1052	6161259	Who’s that for? Are most criminals big readers? Seems like pacifying the nobles.
1053	6161260	
1054	6161262	Pictures then. It was just a suggestion.
1055	6161263	
1056	6161265	How about a giant sign that just says "Don't." You could hit people with it.
1057	6161266	
1058	6161268	Thank you, I get the point.
1059	6161269	
1060	6161270	
1061	6161272	You, Varric, have a very large mouth.
1062	6161273	
1063	6161275	And here I've always looked up to you. What is it now?
1064	6161276	
1065	6161278	There were fistfights in the barracks over who is the model for your guard serial.
1066	6161279	
1067	6161281	<attrib>Hard in Hightown</attrib>. Riveting stuff. Everyone loves a dirty guard on the edge.
1068	6161282	
1069	6161284	Varric.
1070	6161285	
1071	6161287	Fine. I'll start his big finish. Three chapters until Donnen Brennicovick retires and opens a tavern on the coast.
1072	6171166	
1073	6171168	I sure hope he makes it. He's getting too old for this shit.
1074	6161288	
1075	6161289	
1076	6161291	You are very close to losing your printing blocks, Varric.
1077	6161292	
1078	6161294	Once more I am falsely accused of whatever it is that I am accused of. Falsely.
1079	6161295	
1080	6161297	Someone swapped the text of my recruitment poster with some filth from the Blooming Rose.
1081	6161298	
1082	6161300	That does sound pretty good.
1083	6161301	
1084	6161303	Sure, fill the barracks with whores. But you've also filled the Rose with guards.
1085	6161304	
1086	6161306	It’s true what they say. The best comedy comes from tragedy.
1087	6161307	
1088	6161308	
1089	6161310	You're too quiet, Varric.
1090	6161311	
1091	6161313	I'm thinking of switching to romances. Nothing? Not even a foreboding frown?
1092	6161314	
1093	6161316	I am content. Write what you will.
1094	6161317	
1095	6161319	Well that certainly takes the fun out of it. Contentment in the barracks? Who'll pay to hear that shit?
1096	6161320	
1097	6161322	Then I should have thought of it years ago.
1098	6161323	Do what you will. I don't care.
1099	6161324	
1100	6161326	That is... not a comforting thought.
1101	6161327	
1102	6161329	It is what it is. I'm used to it.
1103	6161330	
1104	6161332	I think we've both lost some inspiration.
1105	6161333	
1106	6161334	
1107	6161336	How are you at finales, Varric?
1108	6161337	
1109	6161339	I'm expecting some practical experience fairly soon.
1110	6161340	
1111	6161342	Make it a good one, will you?
1112	6161343	
1113	6161345	For you, madam, endless sunsets and roses.
1114	6161346	
1115	6161348	Varric.
1116	6161349	
1117	6161351	And the swift hand of the law sweeping all aside. I thought it went unsaid.
1118	6171020	
1119	6171021	
1120	6171023	
1121	6171024	
1122	6171026	So, you're a prince, are you?
1123	6171027	
1124	6171029	That is apparently true.
1125	6171030	
1126	6171032	There's doubt?
1127	6171033	
1128	6171035	I've accepted the burden. That's all that matters. Why do you ask, Guard-Captain?
1129	6171036	
1130	6171038	The entitled types are always trouble.
1131	6171039	
1132	6171041	In that case, I'm glad I don't count myself as one.
1133	6171042	
1134	6171044	They never do.
1135	6171045	
1136	6171046	
1137	6171048	You don't like me, Guard-Captain?
1138	6171049	
1139	6171051	I've no issue, so long as the fight over your title stays in Starkhaven. Exactly like it hasn't.
1140	6171052	
1141	6171054	Should I apologize for trying to take back what is rightfully mine?
1142	6171055	
1143	6171057	Whatever it takes? No matter the cost?
1144	6171058	
1145	6171060	It feels like you're blaming me for some personal experience of yours.
1146	6171061	
1147	6171063	I was at Ostagar. Good people die when leaders "do whatever it takes."
1148	6171064	
1149	6171066	Good people know the necessity.
1150	6171067	
1151	6171068	
1152	6171070	Has Starkhaven called for its lost prince, Sebastian? Would you give up if the city has moved on?
1153	6171071	
1154	6171073	Like Ferelden "moved on" after Cailan?
1155	6171074	
1156	6171076	You've been reading.
1157	6171077	
1158	6171079	It's a good tale. King Alistair is particularly inspiring. But I doubt that's how you see me.
1159	6171080	
1160	6171082	It's a good tale. I'm inspired by the Warden Alistair... but I doubt that's how you see me.
1161	6171083	
1162	6171085	I don't intend to let anyone die restoring me to my place, Aveline. The risks are mine. And that will have to satisfy.
1163	6171086	
1164	6178585	It was well said, I give you that. We'll see.
1165	6171088	I'm no tyrant. If people die restoring me to my place, they'll do it knowing the risk.
1166	6171089	
1167	6171091	If that doesn't satisfy, so be it.
1168	6171092	
1169	6171094	After your actions here? No. It doesn't.
1170	6171095	
1171	6171096	
1172	6171098	Are you loyal, Prince?
1173	6171099	
1174	6171101	Guard-Captain?
1175	6171102	
1176	6171104	To Kirkwall. Are you loyal?
1177	6171105	
1178	6171107	The concerns of the Chantry are not always... earthly. Is your head down here or in the clouds?
1179	6171108	
1180	6171110	I'm grounded enough to know that you ask because of your own doubts. It must have been painful.
1181	6171111	
1182	6171113	What was?
1183	6171114	
1184	6171116	The challenge of faith that wounded you. Are you saddened that you've lost your way?
1185	6171117	
1186	6171119	
1187	6171120	
1188	6171122	That's... a fair question. I'm content, Sebastian. I have all I need.
1189	6171126	I...  have not lost my way. I have found it. And I am watching you.
1190	6171130	You're set on a title in Starkhaven, but we're having a crisis <emp>here</emp>.
1191	6171131	
1192	6171133	This isn't just a Kirkwall concern. If this chaos spreads, Starkhaven will need a strong ruler to beat back the tide.
1193	6171134	
1194	6171136	I've seen greater men than you use that excuse.
1195	6171137	
1196	6171139	Noted and ignored, Captain.
1197	6136252	
1198	6136439	
1199	6136441	
1200	6136442	
1201	6136444	So, you were in the Circle and ran away. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do that.
1202	6151222	
1203	6151224	You've been an apostate your whole life.
1204	6151225	
1205	6151227	Exactly. It was never anything I had to work for.
1206	6151228	
1207	6151230	Other people always took the risks to keep me free.
1208	6136445	I know it didn't work the way you wanted, but... it was brave, what you did with Justice.
1209	6151231	
1210	6151233	It was meant well. I don't know if that's enough to forgive me.
1211	6151234	
1212	6151236	It must have been hard for him, being trapped outside the Fade. In a place where no one's like him.
1213	6151237	
1214	6151239	I bet he appreciated having a friend.
1215	6151240	
1216	6151242	He did.
1217	6136446	
1218	6136447	
1219	6136449	Was Wesley based out of the Lothering chantry? I don't remember ever seeing him there.
1220	6151243	
1221	6151245	He served elsewhere. He was coming to find me at Ostagar.
1222	6151246	
1223	6151248	Were you familiar with every templar in Lothering?
1224	6151249	
1225	6151251	How else was I supposed to know when to run and hide?
1226	6136450	Being a guardsman seems like a better life than being a soldier.
1227	6151252	
1228	6151254	Oh?
1229	6151255	
1230	6151257	My brother was a soldier. It's all about taking land and serving some king you've never met.
1231	6151258	
1232	6151260	Guardsmen, they do something <emp>real</emp>. They protect people. They make their lives better.
1233	6151261	
1234	6151263	I don't know if I agree.
1235	6151264	
1236	6151266	Neither would my brother.
1237	6136451	How come you and Wesley never had children? I mean, sorry if that's too personal—
1238	6151267	
1239	6151269	It's all right.
1240	6151270	
1241	6151272	I was a soldier and he was a templar. We knew that our personal lives would have to wait.
1242	6151273	
1243	6151275	Distance never mattered, but we ran out of time. It is what it is.
1244	6151276	
1245	6151278	Now that he's gone, do you ever wish—
1246	6151279	
1247	6151281	<emp>That's</emp> too personal.
1248	6136458	
1249	6136459	
1250	6136461	Do you ever miss Tevinter?
1251	6151282	
1252	6151284	I was a slave.
1253	6151285	
1254	6151287	Still, it was your home, right? The only one you remember?
1255	6151288	
1256	6151290	Does it ever feel strange not to be there?
1257	6151291	
1258	6151293	Sometimes. That does not mean I would go back.
1259	6136462	So, the magister put lyrium <emp>in</emp> your skin?
1260	6151294	
1261	6151296	So I'm told.
1262	6151297	
1263	6151299	Does it hurt?
1264	6151300	
1265	6151302	You do not want to know the answer to that.
1266	6136463	
1267	6136464	
1268	6136466	What were you before you were a pirate?
1269	6151303	
1270	6151305	I had a husband. He didn't beat me, that's about the best I can say about it.
1271	6151306	
1272	6151308	So you left him?
1273	6151309	
1274	6151311	He was murdered. By my lover. It was all very... Antivan.
1275	6151312	
1276	6151314	Oh. I don't think I'd like to live in Antiva.
1277	6136467	I guess you've been with a lot of men.
1278	6151315	
1279	6151320	Men. Women. Elves. A dwarf in drag once, but I don't recommend that.
1280	6151321	
1281	6151323	Oh.
1282	6151324	
1283	6151326	Aw... you're blushing! Why? How many lovers have you had?
1284	6151327	
1285	6151329	I-I never—
1286	6151330	
1287	6151332	You're a virgin? Hawke, you've been holding out on the poor girl! Get her a night at the Blooming Rose. On me!
1288	6151333	
1289	6151335	That's, um, very generous.
1290	6151336	
1291	6151338	I'm a giver.
1292	6136468	
1293	6136469	
1294	6136471	So, there's no Circle among the Dalish?
1295	6151339	
1296	6151341	Any child with the gift of magic is apprenticed to a Keeper... in another clan if there's no need in her own.
1297	6151342	
1298	6151344	That sounds nice.
1299	6151345	
1300	6151347	Magic is a gift of the Creators. Why wouldn't we use it?
1301	6151348	
1302	6151350	It just seems... wasteful for humans to lock their mages away where they can't do any good.
1303	6151351	
1304	6151353	Of course, you're a blood mage.
1305	6151354	
1306	6151356	Oh. Right.
1307	6151357	But... you are a blood mage.
1308	6136472	So, is the Keeper... your mother?
1309	6151358	
1310	6151360	I left my clan when I was a child to become Marethari's First.
1311	6151361	
1312	6151363	I haven't seen my parents in more than ten years.
1313	6151364	
1314	6151366	I'm so sorry! My father died in the Blight. You must really miss them.
1315	6151367	
1316	6151369	I remember my mother singing to me, when I was a little girl and I'd get sick. I think that's what I miss the most.
1317	6151370	
1318	6151372	The Keeper has a terrible singing voice.
1319	6136473	
1320	6136474	
1321	6136476	You don't seem to like your brother very much.
1322	6151445	
1323	6151447	And here I thought it took blood magic to read minds.
1324	6151448	
1325	6151450	I had a twin brother, Carver. He used to nail my braid to the bed while I was sleeping.
1326	6151451	
1327	6151453	I never thought I'd miss him this much.
1328	6151454	
1329	6151456	Sorry about your brother.
1330	6151457	
1331	6151459	Hey, you want mine? I've got a spare...
1332	6136477	Do you ever wish you lived in Orzammar?
1333	6151460	
1334	6151462	Great Ancestors, no! You know what Orzammar is?
1335	6151463	
1336	6151465	It's cramped tunnels, filled with nug-shit and body-odor.
1337	6151466	
1338	6151468	And every person there thinks he's better than you because his great-great-great grandfather made a water-clock or something.
1339	6151469	
1340	6151471	But they're your people. Don't you even wonder what it would be like?
1341	6151472	
1342	6151474	I have a good imagination. Why would I waste it on that?
1343	6136253	
1344	6136478	
1345	6136480	
1346	6136481	
1347	6136483	
1348	6147408	
1349	6148450	What are you looking at?
1350	6148451	
1351	6147417	Your sisters are... were both mages, as was your father?
1352	6147601	
1353	6147410	Your brother is a mage. As were your sister and father?
1354	6147411	
1355	6147413	And I'm not. What of it?
1356	6147414	
1357	6147416	Nothing, it's not always passed to all siblings. But it's good to know you understand our plight.
1358	6147603	
1359	6147605	Shove your plight.
1360	6136484	
1361	6147626	
1362	6147628	You don't like me, Carver?
1363	6147629	
1364	6147631	I don't like you.
1365	6147632	
1366	6147735	That's unfortunate. Hating someone just because they're a mage is a shameful thing.
1367	6147970	
1368	6147972	I don't hate you because you're a mage. I hate you because you won't shut up about it.
1369	6147973	
1370	6147975	Oppression this, templars that. I'd heard enough long before you.
1371	6148022	
1372	6148024	Maybe it's time you put some <emp>thought</emp> into it.
1373	6136485	
1374	6136486	
1375	6136488	
1376	6136489	
1377	6026234	Tell me, how did your family escape Lothering? Almost everyone who hadn't fled...
1378	6026235	
1379	6026237	My brother. If he wasn't with us, I don't think we'd be here.
1380	6026238	
1381	6026240	My older sister. If she wasn't with us, I don't think we'd be here.
1382	6026241	
1383	6026243	But you seem quite skilled as well.
1384	6026244	
1385	6026246	I'm not my brother.
1386	6026247	
1387	6026249	I'm not my sister.
1388	6026250	
1389	6136491	
1390	6148031	
1391	6148033	Did you approve my application?
1392	6148453	
1393	6148455	I can't make you a guard, Carver.
1394	6148456	
1395	6148458	We were both soldiers. Why won't they take me?
1396	6148459	
1397	6148461	I was an officer. And I follow orders.
1398	6148462	
1399	6148464	<desc>Laughs</desc> No you don't.
1400	6148465	
1401	6148467	I also think of others before myself. You seem tired of that, and that's dangerous.
1402	6148468	
1403	6148470	Just when it's not my choice. You told them not to take me, didn't you?
1404	6148471	
1405	6148473	Yes.
1406	6136492	
1407	6148034	
1408	6148036	I'm surprised you still travel with us, Aveline.
1409	6148474	
1410	6148476	Carver, don't.
1411	6148477	
1412	6148479	You're ever so busy with the guardsmen. It must be a burden to slum with the refugees.
1413	6148480	
1414	6148482	It's oddly comforting that you insult me like I'm family.
1415	6149164	
1416	6149166	That wasn't... no, I didn't mean that.
1417	6149167	
1418	6149169	I know. But you should be glad that's how I took it.
1419	6136499	
1420	6136500	
1421	6136502	
1422	6148697	
1423	6148699	You're very different from other elves.
1424	6148700	
1425	6148702	Oh? You know them all?
1426	6148703	
1427	6148705	No. I just... you look different. There's no denying that.
1428	6148706	
1429	6148708	It is what I am. And unlike the problems you claim to have, I really did have no choice.
1430	6148709	
1431	6148711	Do we know <emp>anyone</emp> who isn't brooding every hour of the day?
1432	6148712	
1433	6148714	Like attracts like, it seems.
1434	6136503	
1435	6148715	
1436	6148717	You know, Fenris, I have a tattoo.
1437	6148718	
1438	6148720	You have a what?
1439	6148721	
1440	6148723	A tattoo. A lot of us got them before Ostagar. It's a mabari. For strength.
1441	6148724	
1442	6148726	Does it curse you with the ability to reach into a man and tear out his insides?
1443	6148727	
1444	6148729	Uh. I can make it bark.
1445	6148730	
1446	6148732	Please don't.
1447	6148733	
1448	6148735	Seconded.
1449	6148763	
1450	6148737	Yes. Refrain.
1451	6148765	
1452	6148736	Agreed.
1453	6148767	
1454	6148738	Rather see it wag.
1455	6148769	
1456	6148739	That's... ew.
1457	6148771	
1458	6148740	<desc>Sighs</desc>
1459	6136504	
1460	6136505	
1461	6136507	
1462	6148741	
1463	6148743	So, Isabela. You captained a ship? That's a lot of men to handle. For you to command.
1464	6148744	
1465	6148746	Well aren't you just adorable fumbling for a topic.
1466	6148747	
1467	6148749	You say that like I'm harmless.
1468	6148750	
1469	6148752	As harmless as a pup that will someday grow into its fangs and sink them deep.
1470	6148753	
1471	6148755	Sure, keep teasing. I'll show you how much of a pup I am.
1472	6148756	
1473	6148758	I know. That's why I do it.
1474	6136508	
1475	6148759	
1476	6148761	I saw you at the Blooming Rose the other night.
1477	6149170	
1478	6149172	What? No you didn't.
1479	6149173	
1480	6149175	I suppose someone else stole your chin to romance Faith.
1481	6149176	
1482	6149178	<desc>Scoffs</desc> That's unlikely. She wasn't even working.
1483	6149179	
1484	6149181	Mm-hmm. Got you.
1485	6149182	
1486	6149184	Carver!
1487	6149185	
1488	6149187	Oh ho! Nicely done.
1489	6149188	
1490	6149190	I don't get it.
1491	6149191	
1492	6149193	Carver, what would Mother say?
1493	6149194	
1494	6149196	You're just... that's not what I... shit!
1495	6136509	
1496	6136510	
1497	6136512	
1498	6149197	
1499	6149199	So, you're not like a lot of other girls.
1500	6149200	
1501	6149202	No, I'm an elf.
1502	6149203	
1503	6149205	Right. All right then.
1504	6149206	
1505	6149208	Oh! Did I miss something dirty?
1506	6149209	
1507	6149211	What? No! It wasn't dirty. It wasn't anything.
1508	6149212	
1509	6149214	Oh. Right.
1510	6149215	
1511	6149217	Because I miss a lot of dirty things and sometimes I wouldn't mind hearing them. <desc>Laughs</desc>
1512	6149218	
1513	6149220	Would you now?
1514	6136513	
1515	6149221	
1516	6149223	Your people came a long way, Merrill, but I'd like to think we have Ferelden in common.
1517	6149224	
1518	6149226	I never saw Lothering. Did you walk as much as we did? Probably more, you didn't start with halla. Our ship stunk.
1519	6149227	
1520	6149229	Your ship?
1521	6149230	
1522	6149232	There was something foul in the hold. I can still smell it.
1523	6149233	
1524	6149235	Oh. Well, that must have been unpleasant.
1525	6149236	
1526	6149238	It was.
1527	6149239	
1528	6149241	Did I miss another dirty thing?
1529	6149242	
1530	6149244	No!
1531	6136514	
1532	6136515	
1533	6136518	
1534	6149248	
1535	6149250	Stop looking at me.
1536	6149301	
1537	6149303	What's your issue now, little Hawke?
1538	6149304	
1539	6149306	Don't call... just don't, all right? You're looking for fodder for your stories.
1540	6149307	
1541	6149309	You think you're that interesting?
1542	6149310	
1543	6149312	I have enough trouble being overshadowed as it is.
1544	6149313	
1545	6149315	I don't need to get caught under an imaginary <attrib>me</attrib>, too.
1546	6149316	
1547	6149318	Don't you worry. I'm not in the business of lullabies or children's stories.
1548	6149319	
1549	6136517	
1550	6149245	
1551	6149247	Varric.
1552	6149286	
1553	6149288	Carver.
1554	6149289	
1555	6149291	Still think you're helping while burying us in debt to your brother?
1556	6149292	
1557	6149294	Still riding side-saddle while bitching at your betters?
1558	6149295	
1559	6149297	Drinks later?
1560	6149298	
1561	6149300	Never miss 'em.
1562	6136254	
1563	6136519	
1564	6136521	
1565	6136522	
1566	6136524	
1567	6141439	
1568	6141441	Did I hear correctly? You are an... abomination?
1569	6141442	
1570	6141444	Why don't you shout? I don't think everyone heard you.
1571	6141445	
1572	6141447	Do you see yourself as harmless, then? An abomination who would never harm anyone?
1573	6141448	
1574	6141450	Like ripping someone's heart out of his chest?
1575	6141451	
1576	6141453	I did that at the behest of no demon.
1577	6141454	
1578	6141456	So we agree that it doesn't take a demon for someone to be a vicious killer? Good.
1579	6141457	
1580	6136525	
1581	6141489	
1582	6141491	Why was your friend made Tranquil? Do you know?
1583	6141492	
1584	6141494	No, and it doesn't matter. Nobody deserves that.
1585	6141495	
1586	6141497	I know some mages who deserve that.
1587	6141498	
1588	6141500	Really? Perhaps they should start making slaves Tranquil—then they wouldn't dream of escaping! Wouldn't that be wonderful?
1589	6141501	
1590	6141503	Slaves do not attract demons that try to possess them.
1591	6141504	
1592	6141506	Which clearly justifies it? What a perfect solution!
1593	6141507	
1594	6136526	
1595	6141509	
1596	6141511	You should have lived in Tevinter. You'd be happier there.
1597	6141512	
1598	6141514	You're probably right.
1599	6141515	
1600	6141517	There, your magic would be a mark of honor. Apprenticed to the right magister, you would do well.
1601	6141518	
1602	6141520	Is there a down side?
1603	6141521	
1604	6141523	Only if you're bothered by owning a few slaves and performing the occasional blood ritual.
1605	6141524	
1606	6141526	So they <emp>all</emp> do those things?
1607	6141527	
1608	6141529	Just the ones who don't complain about how powerless and persecuted they are.
1609	6141530	
1610	6141546	
1611	6141547	
1612	6141549	I seem to recall you saying something a while ago...
1613	6141550	
1614	6141552	Shut up.
1615	6141553	
1616	6141555	"I can control it." Wasn't that what you said?
1617	6141556	
1618	6141558	So help me...
1619	6141559	
1620	6136528	
1621	6141561	
1622	6141563	By now, you must see what an injustice the templars are.
1623	6141564	
1624	6141566	Must I? I see templars trying to control what they have good reason to fear.
1625	6141567	
1626	6141569	But they go too far.
1627	6141570	
1628	6141572	Talk to Hawke about his mother. Ask him who went "too far."
1629	6141573	
1630	6141575	Talk to Hawke about her mother. Ask her who went "too far."
1631	6141576	
1632	6141578	You can't hold all mages responsible for that!
1633	6141579	
1634	6141581	It doesn't take <emp>all</emp> mages to cause this. Only the weak ones.
1635	6141582	
1636	6136529	
1637	6141584	
1638	6141586	Not <emp>all</emp> mages are weak.
1639	6141587	
1640	6141589	True. Hawke, for instance, is not weak.
1641	6141590	
1642	6141592	true. Bethany, for instance, was not weak.
1643	6141593	
1644	6141595	You specifically don't mention me.
1645	6141596	
1646	6141598	That's also true.
1647	6141599	
1648	6141601	I'll prove to you that I'm not weak.
1649	6141602	
1650	6141604	Prove it to yourself. You're convincing no one else.
1651	6141605	
1652	6141607	
1653	6141608	
1654	6141610	
1655	6141611	
1656	6141613	You are... living with Hawke, now?
1657	6141614	
1658	6141616	What's it to you?
1659	6141617	
1660	6141619	Be good to him. Break his heart, and I will kill you.
1661	6141620	
1662	6141622	Be good to her. Break her heart, and I will kill you.
1663	6141623	
1664	6136530	
1665	6136531	
1666	6136533	
1667	6141643	
1668	6141645	I understand you're named after a famous knight?
1669	6141646	
1670	6141648	Everyone always brings up the name.
1671	6141649	
1672	6141651	I've not heard of Ser Aveline—is she very famous?
1673	6141652	
1674	6141654	Really? They don't tell of her glorious downfall in Tevinter?
1675	6141655	
1676	6141657	Not to slaves.
1677	6141658	
1678	6141660	Pardon me for saying so, but thank the Maker for <emp>that</emp>.
1679	6141661	
1680	6136534	
1681	6141663	
1682	6141665	You do not like your name?
1683	6141666	
1684	6141668	My name is a wish my father made. And I did want to be a knight, but...
1685	6141669	
1686	6141671	I see. Still, it's a good name. A strong name.
1687	6141672	
1688	6141674	What were you named after?
1689	6141675	
1690	6141677	I don't know my real name. My master called me Fenris, his "little wolf."
1691	6141678	
1692	6141680	Could you not call yourself something different now?
1693	6141681	
1694	6141683	Couldn't you?
1695	6141684	
1696	6141686	A fine point.
1697	6141687	
1698	6136535	
1699	6141689	
1700	6141691	It feels good to be captain of the guard, yes?
1701	6141692	
1702	6141694	No, I will not change the patrols around your mansion again. There's already been too many questions.
1703	6141695	
1704	6141697	You wound my pride with such accusations.
1705	6141698	
1706	6141700	But you were going to ask.
1707	6141701	
1708	6141703	Eventually.
1709	6141704	
1710	6141706	<desc>Laughs</desc> I'll look at the roster and see what I can do.
1711	6141707	
1712	6136537	
1713	6141709	
1714	6141711	I was speaking to Donnic the other day...
1715	6141712	
1716	6141714	Since when do you talk with my husband?
1717	6141715	
1718	6141717	He... comes to the mansion once a week? We play diamondback.
1719	6141718	
1720	6141720	What? Why am I not invited to these games?
1721	6141721	
1722	6141723	He says you get angry when you lose.
1723	6141724	
1724	6141726	I do not! All right, perhaps I do. Still, that's no reason not to tell me.
1725	6141727	
1726	6141729	Perhaps he longed for less masculine companionship?
1727	6141730	
1728	6141732	Shut up, whore.
1729	6141733	
1730	6141735	It is if he's a betting man.
1731	6141736	
1732	6141738	I disavow all knowledge of gambling occurring in my household.
1733	6141739	
1734	6141741	He's a good man, Aveline. I enjoy his visits.
1735	6141742	
1736	6141744	Fine, fine. Have your "man time," then.
1737	6141745	
1738	6136538	
1739	6141747	
1740	6141749	Thank you for that tip, Fenris.
1741	6141750	
1742	6141752	You caught them, then?
1743	6141753	
1744	6141755	Yes—a whole nest of slave runners working out of the Undercity.
1745	6141756	
1746	6141758	I imagine you imprisoned them?
1747	6141759	
1748	6141761	Sadly, they never made it to prison.
1749	6141762	
1750	6141764	You always know how to make me smile, Aveline.
1751	6141765	
1752	6136539	
1753	6136540	
1754	6136542	
1755	6141767	
1756	6141769	You've been an apostate your whole life, then?
1757	6141770	
1758	6141772	Like my father before me. What of it?
1759	6141773	
1760	6141775	Didn't your family consider that dangerous?
1761	6141776	
1762	6141778	There are mages who go their whole lives without ever falling prey to a demon. Many of them, in fact.
1763	6141779	
1764	6141781	And if the templars came looking for you? That would not be danger enough?
1765	6141782	
1766	6141784	Perhaps there shouldn't <emp>be</emp> any templars.
1767	6141785	
1768	6136543	
1769	6141787	
1770	6141789	You know, you cannot wish the templars away.
1771	6141790	
1772	6141792	I can try.
1773	6141793	
1774	6141795	Is the Circle here truly so terrible an option?
1775	6141796	
1776	6141798	Do you really have to ask that?
1777	6141799	
1778	6141801	You would be kept safe from others as well as from yourself, and they would be kept safe from you.
1779	6141802	
1780	6141804	I... didn't ask for this.
1781	6141805	
1782	6141807	Nobody asks for their fate.
1783	6141808	
1784	6136544	
1785	6136545	
1786	6136547	
1787	6141810	
1788	6141812	So... this master of yours wants your markings back? Skin and all?
1789	6141813	
1790	6141815	So his hunters told me. Unwillingly.
1791	6141816	
1792	6141818	So why not cover them up? Wouldn't that make you harder to find?
1793	6141819	
1794	6141821	Let them come. I am not one to hide.
1795	6141822	
1796	6141824	Still, if it were me—
1797	6141825	
1798	6141827	It's not.
1799	6141828	
1800	6136548	
1801	6141830	
1802	6141832	So you've really never thought of hiding from those hunters?
1803	6141833	
1804	6141835	To what end?
1805	6141836	
1806	6141838	So you could, I don't know, have a life?
1807	6141839	
1808	6141841	What life do you have? There are no hunters after you at all.
1809	6141842	
1810	6141844	I have a life!
1811	6141845	
1812	6141847	One that you complain about. We are not always free to do as we wish, as you should well know.
1813	6141848	
1814	6141850	I do have a life.
1815	6141851	
1816	6141853	Then I stand corrected.
1817	6141854	
1818	6136549	
1819	6136550	
1820	6136552	
1821	6141856	
1822	6141858	I enjoy a man with markings like that.
1823	6141859	
1824	6141861	You've enjoyed many, I suspect.
1825	6141862	
1826	6141864	Where I come from, they're called "tattoos." Sailors get them all the time.
1827	6141865	
1828	6141867	Not made of lyrium, I'd imagine.
1829	6141868	
1830	6141870	Not a one. And the pictures are different—usually breasts.
1831	6141871	
1832	6141873	I suppose a pair of lyrium breasts tattooed onto my chest would make things better.
1833	6141874	
1834	6141876	That's me. I'm a helper.
1835	6141877	
1836	6136553	
1837	6141879	
1838	6141881	So this relic you mentioned losing...
1839	6141882	
1840	6141884	You have pretty eyes.
1841	6141885	
1842	6141887	I... have pretty eyes.
1843	6141888	
1844	6141890	You elves have such pretty eyes, even the men. It makes me want to pluck them out and wear them as a necklace.
1845	6141891	
1846	6141893	I wouldn't suggest trying.
1847	6141894	
1848	6141896	Oh, I would never try. Not without reason, of course.
1849	6141897	
1850	6141899	Forget I said anything.
1851	6141900	
1852	6136554	
1853	6141902	
1854	6141904	You keep staring at me. Is it my eyes again?
1855	6141905	
1856	6141907	You're very lanky, for an elf. I like lanky.
1857	6141908	
1858	6141910	From what I gather, you like a lot of things.
1859	6141911	
1860	6141913	Nonsense. But when I see something I like, I go after it.
1861	6141914	
1862	6141916	I suggest keeping your distance.
1863	6141917	
1864	6141919	Now you're just making it challenging.
1865	6141920	
1866	6141922	Do you intend to go after me, then?
1867	6141923	
1868	6141925	Will you take off all that spiky armor you're wearing?
1869	6141926	
1870	6141928	It's been known to happen.
1871	6141929	
1872	6141931	Then forget it.
1873	6141932	
1874	6143092	
1875	6143093	
1876	6143095	So what duties did you have? As a slave, I mean?
1877	6143096	
1878	6143098	Not this again.
1879	6143099	
1880	6143101	I heard that Tevinter slaves are kept oiled so they glisten. Did your master oil you up? Did you glisten for him?
1881	6143102	
1882	6143104	I was his bodyguard.
1883	6143105	
1884	6143107	Always close at hand. Always within reach. Glistening.
1885	6143108	
1886	6143110	You have an entire story written in your head already, don't you?
1887	6143111	
1888	6143113	Mmm.
1889	6143114	
1890	6136556	
1891	6141934	
1892	6141936	So you engaged a Qunari dreadnought in battle?
1893	6141937	
1894	6141939	They engaged <emp>me</emp> in battle. I was just trying to get away.
1895	6141940	
1896	6141942	Sailing into the storm was a gamble. Took care of the dreadnought, but it did us in too. Can't win them all.
1897	6141943	
1898	6141945	Where I come from, we would call that insanity.
1899	6141946	
1900	6141948	Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
1901	6141949	
1902	6136557	
1903	6141969	
1904	6143116	I still can't believe Hawke saved you.
1905	6143117	
1906	6143119	You've been saying that for years. Would you have turned me over to the Qunari?
1907	6143120	
1908	6143122	No, but I know what they do to their prisoners.
1909	6143123	
1910	6143125	Execute them horribly, I imagine.
1911	6143126	
1912	6143128	The Qunari waste nothing. They would reeducate you into a loyal follower of the Qun.
1913	6143129	
1914	6143131	Pfft. Could I refuse?
1915	6143132	
1916	6143134	There's always qamek, which turns you into a mindless laborer. Like I said, they waste nothing.
1917	6143135	
1918	6143137	Oh.
1919	6143138	
1920	6143140	If you wish to thank Hawke, he's standing right there.
1921	6143141	
1922	6143143	If you wish to thank Hawke, she's standing right there.
1923	6143144	
1924	6136558	
1925	6136559	
1926	6136561	
1927	6143146	
1928	6143148	Why are you watching me like that?
1929	6143149	
1930	6143151	You have vallaslin. The same markings that the Dalish have.
1931	6143152	
1932	6143154	Yours are not made of lyrium.
1933	6143155	
1934	6143157	No, they're made of blood. Our blood. That's what vallaslin means: blood writing. It's a mark of adulthood.
1935	6143158	
1936	6143160	Mine were carved into my flesh against my will, in a ritual I remember only for the agony it caused me.
1937	6143161	
1938	6143163	I'm... so sorry.
1939	6143164	
1940	6136562	
1941	6143166	
1942	6143168	I don't want your pity.
1943	6143169	
1944	6143171	Are you talking to me?
1945	6143172	
1946	6143174	You said you were sorry about the ritual I endured. Keep your sorrow.
1947	6143175	
1948	6143177	I only meant—
1949	6143178	
1950	6143180	You have all the freedom none of our kind enjoy, and you throw it away. On what? 
1951	6143181	
1952	6143183	Our people need to reclaim their heritage.
1953	6143184	
1954	6143186	A heritage of defeat? To what end?
1955	6143187	
1956	6143189	Would you truly turn your back on your own history? There's so much we don't know...
1957	6143190	
1958	6143192	It's not my history. It's simply history.
1959	6143193	
1960	6143195	
1961	6143196	
1962	6143198	You never come to the alienage, Fenris.
1963	6143199	
1964	6143201	I don't live in the alienage.
1965	6143202	
1966	6143204	Don't you care about the plight of our people? Not even a little bit?
1967	6143205	
1968	6143207	I don't need to visit the alienage to know what they suffer. I know it better than you.
1969	6143208	
1970	6143210	I've lived there for years! I see it firsthand!
1971	6143211	
1972	6143213	And I lived it.
1973	6143214	
1974	6136563	
1975	6143216	
1976	6143218	Avert your eyes, witch.
1977	6143219	
1978	6143221	You said I was dwelling on "useless" history, but what are <emp>you</emp> doing?
1979	6143222	
1980	6143224	The past is important, to you and to all of us. We must know it to move forward.
1981	6143225	
1982	6143227	Yet I have made no deal with a demon to learn of <emp>my</emp> past.
1983	6143228	
1984	6143230	You had a life. You had a family. And you abandoned them to chase after ghosts.
1985	6143231	
1986	6143233	We are nothing alike. Don't even begin to think that we are.
1987	6143234	
1988	6136564	
1989	6143236	
1990	6143238	You are more naive than I thought.
1991	6143239	
1992	6143241	What have I done to you <emp>now</emp>?
1993	6143242	
1994	6143244	To me? Nothing. Not yet.
1995	6143245	
1996	6143247	To yourself—you can't even begin to imagine the number of mages that have walked down the path you're now on.
1997	6143248	
1998	6143250	My clan didn't believe in me. If you don't believe in me either, I won't mind.
1999	6143251	
2000	6136566	
2001	6143253	
2002	6143255	Your master must have been a terrible man, to make you hate mages so.
2003	6143256	
2004	6143258	He <emp>is</emp> a terrible man. He's not dead.
2005	6143259	
2006	6143261	He was. Now he's dead.
2007	6143262	
2008	6143264	We're not all like him.
2009	6143265	
2010	6143267	How often I hear that, and yet how often I find it's not true.
2011	6143268	
2012	6143270	The Keepers are different. They exist to preserve the old ways, and to protect our people.
2013	6143271	
2014	6143273	And none of them would ever fall prey to a demon. Or perform blood magic.
2015	6143274	
2016	6143276	It's impossible to talk to you.
2017	6143277	
2018	6136565	
2019	6143279	
2020	6143281	This... Keeper of yours. She was a friend?
2021	6143282	
2022	6143284	She was like a mother to me. To all of us.
2023	6143285	
2024	6143287	Then I'm sorry.
2025	6143288	
2026	6143290	No you're not. She's just one more mage to you. Why would <emp>you</emp> be sorry she's dead?
2027	6143291	
2028	6143293	I'm not sorry she's dead. I'm only sorry she died for you.
2029	6143294	
2030	6143296	What?
2031	6143297	
2032	6143299	Let's hope the sacrifice of someone who cared for you that much isn't wasted.
2033	6143300	
2034	6171851	
2035	6171852	
2036	6171854	Are you an Andrastian, Fenris?
2037	6171855	
2038	6171857	If I say no, will you attempt to convert me?
2039	6171858	
2040	6171860	Many elves believe in the Maker. I ask only because I wonder if your experiences... soured your faith.
2041	6171861	
2042	6171863	My faith was never strong. It's difficult for a slave to have faith in someone who abandoned them.
2043	6171864	
2044	6171866	The Maker didn't enslave you, Fenris.
2045	6171867	
2046	6171869	He didn't help me much, either.
2047	6171870	
2048	6171872	And yet you stand here, free. Perhaps He helped you more than you think.
2049	6171873	The Maker <emp>didn't</emp> free me.
2050	6171874	
2051	6171876	I see you've been thinking about what I said.
2052	6171877	
2053	6171879	I freed myself. If the Maker did anything, He watched. Why should I thank Him for that?
2054	6171880	
2055	6171882	Is it so hard to believe the Maker cares for you? Maybe He gave you the chance to escape.
2056	6171883	
2057	6171885	It doesn't feel like the Maker cares for me... or anyone.
2058	6171886	
2059	6171888	We all make our own choices, to do good as well as evil. That is our doing, not the Maker's.
2060	6171889	
2061	6171891	Perhaps. It's... been a long time since I gave it any thought.
2062	6171892	
2063	6171894	It's not too late to start.
2064	6171895	I saw you at the chantry last week, Fenris, but I haven't seen you back since.
2065	6171896	
2066	6171898	I was only delivering something; you needn't concern yourself.
2067	6171899	
2068	6171901	But you were praying. Or was that part of the delivery?
2069	6171902	
2070	6171904	I was... trying to blend in.
2071	6171905	
2072	6171907	<desc>Laughs</desc> Oh, yes! You wouldn't want to ruin your reputation.
2073	6171908	
2074	6171910	Don't you have a city to re-conquer?
2075	6171911	You know, when I return to Starkhaven you're welcome to come with me.
2076	6171912	
2077	6171914	And do what, exactly?
2078	6171915	
2079	6171917	You're a fine warrior. If you could train men to fight like you do, I'd be unstoppable.
2080	6171918	
2081	6171920	I'm no leader, and I doubt humans would want me training them.
2082	6171921	
2083	6171923	Then why not train elves? I bet there's plenty who would admire all you've accomplished.
2084	6171924	
2085	6171926	I... haven't accomplished anything.
2086	6171927	
2087	6171929	No? You are your own man, living as you see fit—you give yourself too little credit.
2088	6171930	
2089	6171932	You are being kind.
2090	6171933	
2091	6171935	Not at all. Think about it.
2092	6171936	So that's it? You're not returning to Starkhaven now?
2093	6171937	
2094	6171939	There are greater things that need to be done, Fenris.
2095	6171940	
2096	6171942	And what about avenging your family? Does that not need to be done?
2097	6171943	
2098	6171945	What has my vengeance accomplished except to spill more blood?
2099	6171946	
2100	6171948	No, I must put my faith in the Maker. He will set my path before me.
2101	6171949	
2102	6171951	I can't decide if it is certainty you have, or blindness.
2103	6171952	
2104	6171954	<desc>Chuckles</desc> At least you can't decide.
2105	6136567	
2106	6136568	
2107	6136570	
2108	6143302	
2109	6143304	I thought all dwarves had beards. Where's yours?
2110	6143305	
2111	6143307	I misplaced it, along with my sense of dwarven pride and my gold-plated noble caste pin.
2112	6143308	
2113	6143310	I thought maybe it fell onto your chest.
2114	6143311	
2115	6143313	Oh-ho! The broody elf tells a joke!
2116	6143314	
2117	6143316	I don't brood.
2118	6143317	
2119	6143319	Friend, if your brooding were any more impressive, women would swoon as you passed. They'd have broody babies in your honor.
2120	6143320	
2121	6143322	You're a very odd dwarf.
2122	6143323	
2123	6143325	And you thought I was joking about the pin.
2124	6143326	
2125	6136571	
2126	6143328	
2127	6143330	So where's <emp>your</emp> beard, elf?
2128	6143331	
2129	6143333	Elves don't grow beards.
2130	6143334	
2131	6143336	Huh. I thought maybe you'd shaved it off in a fit of broody pique.
2132	6143337	
2133	6143339	So you're a funny dwarf.
2134	6143340	
2135	6136572	
2136	6143342	
2137	6143344	So you found your brother.
2138	6143345	
2139	6143347	I did! Wasn't expecting that.
2140	6143348	
2141	6143350	I assume there was a time when you and he were friends?
2142	6143351	
2143	6143353	With Bartrand? No, just brothers. Occasionally he wasn't insufferable.
2144	6143354	
2145	6143356	And yet you remained at his side.
2146	6143357	
2147	6143359	Too bad he didn't do the same.
2148	6143360	
2149	6136573	
2150	6143362	
2151	6143364	You know, if you need advice on how to lay low I can give you some.
2152	6143365	
2153	6143367	Being short would make for an excellent start, I suspect.
2154	6143368	
2155	6143370	Keep that up, serah, and you can keep on hiding like a rank amateur.
2156	6143371	
2157	6143373	What would you suggest, Varric? Cower in the shadows like a rat?
2158	6143374	
2159	6143376	You could try wearing something that didn't scream: "I hate you all! I was a slave!"
2160	6143377	
2161	6143379	The markings would still show.
2162	6143380	
2163	6143382	Really? Through anything? That's... kind of cool.
2164	6143383	
2165	6136574	
2166	6143385	
2167	6143387	So who is "Bianca"?
2168	6143388	
2169	6143390	My crossbow. Say hello, Bianca.
2170	6143391	
2171	6143393	But why Bianca? You must have named her after someone.
2172	6143394	
2173	6143396	Nope. Mirabelle was taken.
2174	6143397	
2175	6143399	The way you fondle your weapon is disturbing.
2176	6143400	
2177	6143402	Hey! I'm a perfect gentleman. In public.
2178	6143403	
2179	6136575	
2180	6143405	
2181	6143407	I notice you hardly ever comment on mages and templars and such.
2182	6143408	
2183	6143410	It's a lot of humans in skirts. I get them mixed up.
2184	6143411	
2185	6143413	I highly doubt that. The subject comes up all the time.
2186	6143414	
2187	6143416	Tell me about it.
2188	6143417	
2189	6143419	And no opinion? One way or the other?
2190	6143420	
2191	6143422	Opinions are like testicles. You kick them hard enough, doesn't matter how many you got.
2192	6143423	
2193	6143425	That's... something.
2194	6143426	
2195	6136255	
2196	6155410	
2197	6155412	
2198	6155413	
2199	6155415	
2200	6155416	
2201	6155418	Hello? Is Anders there? Can I speak to Anders?
2202	6155419	
2203	6155421	You can stop yelling. It's always me.
2204	6155422	
2205	6155424	Oh, good. I didn't want to talk to that other guy. You know, the stick-in-the-mud.
2206	6155425	
2207	6155427	He can still hear you. Justice and I are one.
2208	6155428	
2209	6155430	Anyway, you wanted to talk to me?
2210	6155431	
2211	6155433	Not really. I just wanted to make sure it was you.
2212	6155434	
2213	6155436	
2214	6155437	
2215	6171526	Isabela, you never talk about the mages' plight.
2216	6171527	
2217	6171529	What's there to say?
2218	6171530	
2219	6171532	There's plenty to say.
2220	6171533	
2221	6171535	And you say enough for the lot of us, don't you think?
2222	6171536	
2223	6171538	So you're telling me you have no opinion on the matter?
2224	6171539	
2225	6171541	None whatsoever!
2226	6171542	
2227	6171544	That can't be true.
2228	6171545	
2229	6171547	No, I'm afraid I'm really this shallow.
2230	6155469	
2231	6155470	
2232	6155472	So this relic you lost... how is it you don't know what it is?
2233	6155473	
2234	6155475	It was in a box.
2235	6155476	
2236	6155478	And you didn't open it? <attrib>You</attrib> managed to resist the urge?
2237	6155479	
2238	6155481	It was locked. It was a locked box!
2239	6155482	
2240	6155484	Hasn't stopped you before.
2241	6155485	
2242	6155487	What do you want me to say?
2243	6155488	
2244	6155490	Nothing. I just found it curious, that's all.
2245	6155491	
2246	6155493	
2247	6155494	
2248	6155496	You do have an opinion on mages, don't you?
2249	6155497	
2250	6155499	Of course I do. I just don't feel a constant need to bring it up.
2251	6155500	
2252	6155505	<desc>Sighs</desc> Mages don't worry me. And I don't believe the templars when they say I should be worried.
2253	6155506	
2254	6155508	I'm more likely to be shanked in a bar than eaten by an abomination. You can hear those coming a mile away.
2255	6155509	
2256	6155511	"Grr. Argh!" "Oh, is that an abomination coming to eat us? We should get out of here!"
2257	6155512	
2258	6155514	Abominations don't go, "Grr. Argh."
2259	6155515	
2260	6155517	They don't? I should rethink the whole thing, then.
2261	6155518	
2262	6155520	
2263	6155521	
2264	6155523	I don't know how you live the way you do, blithely ignoring the consequences of your actions.
2265	6155524	
2266	6155526	This is about the Qunari thing, isn't it? I'm not ignoring it. I just recognize that it happened years ago.
2267	6155527	
2268	6155529	There's this fantastic thing called "moving on." You should try it sometime.
2269	6155530	
2270	6155532	Has it occurred to you that Kirkwall is only just recovering from the Qunari attack?
2271	6155533	
2272	6155535	And you want me to... what? Flog myself daily?
2273	6155536	
2274	6155538	Has it occurred to you that maybe there's no justice in the world? Other than that voice you keep in your head.
2275	6155539	
2276	6155541	
2277	6155542	
2278	6155544	There is justice in the world.
2279	6155545	
2280	6155547	Is there? You want to free the mages. Let's say you do, but to get there, you kill a bunch of innocent people.
2281	6155548	
2282	6155550	What about them? Don't they then deserve justice?
2283	6155551	
2284	6155553	Yes.
2285	6155554	
2286	6155556	And then what? Where does it end?
2287	6155557	
2288	6155559	It's like a bar brawl. People are continuously pulled into the fray, and nobody remembers why it started.
2289	6155560	
2290	6155562	Justice is an idea. It makes sense in a world of ideas, but not in our world.
2291	6155563	
2292	6155565	
2293	6155566	
2294	6155568	
2295	6155569	
2296	6155571	Do men find you intimidating? What about Wesley? Did he?
2297	6155572	
2298	6155574	Isabela...
2299	6155575	
2300	6155577	What? Too soon?
2301	6155578	
2302	6155580	Too soon, too personal, too... everything coming from you!
2303	6155581	
2304	6155583	Ooh, sore spot?
2305	6155584	
2306	6155586	If you don't shut up, I'll give you a sore spot.
2307	6155587	
2308	6155589	
2309	6155590	
2310	6155592	You have such pretty hair. What a lovely color.
2311	6155593	
2312	6155595	Other children used to laugh at me for having ginger hair.
2313	6155596	
2314	6155598	Really? Aww. I bet you were cute. Did you have pigtails?
2315	6155599	
2316	6155601	Sometimes.
2317	6155602	
2318	6155604	How precious! Little Aveline, running around the village with her flaming orange pigtails streaming behind her...
2319	6155605	
2320	6155607	... and little boys all scattering and screaming for mercy as she approached.
2321	6155608	
2322	6155610	Shut up, whore.
2323	6155611	
2324	6155613	
2325	6155614	
2326	6155616	How are you so successful with men? You're not <attrib>that</attrib> pretty.
2327	6155617	
2328	6155619	Cast a wide enough net, and you're bound to catch something.
2329	6155620	
2330	6155622	<desc>Laughs</desc> At least you're willing to admit it.
2331	6155623	
2332	6155625	Trust me. I've heard, "Get away from me, you pirate hag!" more times than I care to count.
2333	6155626	
2334	6155628	Doesn't that bother you?
2335	6155629	
2336	6155631	Why should it? They don't know me. <attrib>I</attrib> know me.
2337	6155632	
2338	6155637	
2339	6155638	
2340	6155640	You're right.
2341	6155641	
2342	6155643	About?
2343	6155644	
2344	6155646	About knowing who you are.
2345	6155647	
2346	6155649	I'm the captain of the guard. I'm loyal, strong, and I don't look too bad naked.
2347	6155650	
2348	6155652	Exactly. And if I called you a mannish, awkward, ball-crushing do-gooder, you'd say...?
2349	6155653	
2350	6155655	Shut up, whore.
2351	6155656	
2352	6155658	That's my girl.
2353	6155659	
2354	6155661	
2355	6155662	
2356	6155664	You didn't come to my solstice dinner party.
2357	6155665	
2358	6155667	Look at you! Dinner parties, cooking... do you have a lace apron yet, or should I get one for you?
2359	6155668	
2360	6155670	Don't change the subject. I sent you an invitation, and you didn't show up.
2361	6155671	
2362	6155673	I thought it would be... I mean, I don't know. I just don't do family gatherings.
2363	6155674	
2364	6155676	Besides, one day you and Donnic will have children, and I'll be the <emp>last</emp> person you want around them.
2365	6155677	
2366	6155679	Imagine all the awkward questions you'd have to answer? "Mother, what's a slattern?"
2367	6155680	
2368	6155682	I'll just point at you and say, "That's a slattern."
2369	6155683	
2370	6155685	
2371	6155686	
2372	6155688	How's marriage been treating you, big girl?
2373	6155689	
2374	6155691	It's been good. No, great. I'd forgotten what it was like to...
2375	6155692	
2376	6155694	Be flipped ass over tits and hammered like a bent nail?
2377	6155695	
2378	6155697	<emp>To. Be. Loved.</emp>
2379	6155698	
2380	6155700	Oh. Right, of course.
2381	6155701	
2382	6155703	Not that I'm complaining about the other thing.
2383	6155704	
2384	6171564	
2385	6171565	
2386	6171567	So how long has it been? Six years? Seven?
2387	6171568	
2388	6171570	None of your business.
2389	6171571	
2390	6171573	You ever thought of going to the Rose? They're discreet and remarkably affordable if you forgo all the extras.
2391	6171574	
2392	6171576	Quiet!
2393	6171577	
2394	6171579	Not that sensual massages aren't lovely, but in a dire situation like yours, you need to get straight to the point.
2395	6171580	
2396	6171582	Some good old-fashioned, headboard slamming—
2397	6171583	
2398	6171585	If you don't shut your mouth, I'm going to slam <attrib>your</attrib> head against something.
2399	6171586	
2400	6171588	<desc>Whistles</desc> Touchy...
2401	6171589	
2402	6155706	
2403	6155707	
2404	6155709	
2405	6155710	
2406	6155712	So you've... been with women. In bed?
2407	6155713	
2408	6155715	I know. Shocking, isn't it?
2409	6155716	
2410	6155718	You see, sweetness, men are only good for one thing. Women are good for six.
2411	6155719	
2412	6155721	Six? Which six?
2413	6155722	
2414	6155724	Isabela!
2415	6155725	
2416	6155727	<desc>Laughs</desc>
2417	6155728	
2418	6155730	
2419	6155731	
2420	6155733	That book you were reading this morning, "Hessarian's Spear"—I don't think he had a spear in the legends.
2421	6155734	
2422	6155736	He does in this one. Read the description.
2423	6155737	
2424	6155739	"Andraste knelt before no man but her Maker, but she hadn't counted on the archon Hessarian."
2425	6155740	
2426	6155742	"Can Hessarian penetrate the tight-knit defenses of the warrior-prophetess? Will she be prepared to face the full blast of his... power?"
2427	6155743	
2428	6155745	Wait a minute... <emp>Isabela!</emp> This is a vulgar thing!
2429	6155746	
2430	6155748	You want to borrow it?
2431	6155749	
2432	6155751	No!
2433	6155752	
2434	6155754	You sure? It has pictures!
2435	6155755	
2436	6155757	Not listening! I'm not listening!
2437	6155758	
2438	6155760	
2439	6155761	
2440	6155763	
2441	6155764	
2442	6155766	You look like a man I once dueled.
2443	6155767	
2444	6155769	He was a little intimidated by my reputation as a vicious pirate, but rose to the challenge.
2445	6155770	
2446	6155772	He looked like me, you say?
2447	6155773	
2448	6155775	It went on all night, under the stars, the waves lapping at our ankles.
2449	6155776	
2450	6155778	On the beach? In the surf? How did you get proper footing?
2451	6155779	
2452	6155781	We didn't. There was quite a bit of tumbling around, and we were soaked and sore by the time the sun came up.
2453	6155782	
2454	6155784	Did you... win?
2455	6155785	
2456	6155787	I managed to get on top in the end, but I considered it a tie.
2457	6155788	
2458	6155793	
2459	6155794	
2460	6155796	Why is it always about sex with you?
2461	6155797	
2462	6155799	It's not. Sometimes it's about sex with other people.
2463	6155800	
2464	6155802	You see? It comes up every single time we talk.
2465	6155803	
2466	6155805	We're just talking, Carver. If it comes up, that's not <attrib>my</attrib> fault.
2467	6155806	
2468	6155808	What? I mean... that's not what I meant. It... it doesn't!
2469	6155809	
2470	6155811	I hate you so much.
2471	6155812	
2472	6155814	
2473	6155815	
2474	6155817	
2475	6155818	
2476	6155820	So you freed a group of slaves.
2477	6155821	
2478	6155823	Would-be slaves. They weren't slaves yet.
2479	6155824	
2480	6155826	Still, you did the right thing. Many would turn a blind eye.
2481	6155827	
2482	6155829	Don't read too much into it, all right? It just seemed a good idea at the time.
2483	6155830	
2484	6155832	
2485	6155833	
2486	6155835	So what's with that magical fisting thing you do?
2487	6155836	
2488	6155838	I'm... sorry?
2489	6155839	
2490	6155841	You know, when you stick your hand into people.
2491	6155842	
2492	6155844	Oh. That. Yes. It's a... talent.
2493	6155845	
2494	6155847	You could make <attrib>so</attrib> much coin with that.
2495	6155848	
2496	6155850	
2497	6155851	
2498	6155853	This one time, I was sailing to Llomerryn, and there was a fight between two of my men.
2499	6155854	
2500	6155856	It was over a dice game, or the last piece of toast, or something. Sailors—they're touchy about their toast.
2501	6155857	
2502	6155859	Is this going anywhere?
2503	6155860	
2504	6155862	It will if you let me finish.
2505	6155863	
2506	6155865	So, there's a knife fight, and Jim ends up with a broken-off blade stuck in his shoulder.
2507	6155866	
2508	6155868	It's buried deep in there, and we're out at sea, at least a week from the nearest port.
2509	6155869	
2510	6155871	If you were there, you could've reached in and plucked that blade right from his flesh.
2511	6155872	
2512	6155874	That's your whole point?
2513	6155875	
2514	6155877	Pretty much.
2515	6155880	
2516	6155881	
2517	6155883	So I hear you think mages should be free.
2518	6155884	
2519	6155886	Everyone should be free. Not just mages.
2520	6155887	
2521	6155889	Not everyone's dangerous.
2522	6155890	
2523	6155892	It's not about who's dangerous. It's about having choices made for you.
2524	6155893	
2525	6155895	Don't you wish you had the choice not to have lyrium stuck under your skin?
2526	6155896	
2527	6155898	I do.
2528	6155899	
2529	6155901	<desc>Sighs</desc> This is silly. I don't want to argue.
2530	6155902	
2531	6171554	Do you want to guess what color my underclothes are again?
2532	6171555	
2533	6171557	Oh, yes, that's much more fun.
2534	6155904	
2535	6155905	
2536	6155907	You seem especially broody today.
2537	6155908	
2538	6155910	Does it bother you? Should I stop?
2539	6155911	
2540	6155913	No, don't stop. But could you add some smoldering to the routine? Just for me.
2541	6155914	
2542	6155916	Smolder?
2543	6155917	
2544	6155919	Oh, and while you're at it, perhaps some cold insolence.
2545	6155920	
2546	6155922	You want me to smolder and be cold at the same time? Those don't go together...
2547	6155923	
2548	6155925	Shush. Don't distract me with your logic.
2549	6155926	
2550	6155928	
2551	6155929	
2552	6155931	That night... I can't stop thinking about it.
2553	6155932	
2554	6155934	Well, then I'll see you later.
2555	6155935	
2556	6155937	That was direct.
2557	6155938	
2558	6155940	Thought I'd get straight to the point. Were you expecting flowers or something?
2559	6155941	
2560	6155943	Don't be absurd.
2561	6155944	
2562	6155946	Then I'll see you tonight.
2563	6155947	
2564	6156086	
2565	6156087	
2566	6156089	
2567	6156090	
2568	6156092	Do you really like sailing?
2569	6156093	
2570	6156095	Like it? I love it! The salt spray on my face, the wind whipping by my ears, the gulls screaming overhead—I love it all.
2571	6156096	
2572	6156098	Don't you get sick? I was so sick on our trip across the sea.
2573	6156099	
2574	6156101	Were you in the hold?
2575	6156102	
2576	6156104	Everyone was in the hold.
2577	6156105	
2578	6156107	There's your problem. You need to be up on deck, under the sky, with nothing between you and the horizon.
2579	6156108	
2580	6156110	Sailing is like sex. Do it wrong, and it'll make you sick.
2581	6156111	
2582	6156113	But do it right, and there's no feeling in the world like it.
2583	6156114	
2584	6156116	
2585	6156117	
2586	6156119	It's not always fun and games on the sea, though. There are storms and hostile pirates.
2587	6156120	
2588	6156146	And it's trying being cooped up with men who haven't seen a woman in months.
2589	6156147	
2590	6156149	You're a woman.
2591	6156150	
2592	6156152	Exactly. And I don't usually let them touch me, so they get... frustrated.
2593	6156153	
2594	6156155	I insist all of them get alone time. Helps with the crankiness.
2595	6156156	
2596	6156158	But they're already lonely! Why would you insist that they be alone some more?
2597	6156159	
2598	6156161	Merrill.
2599	6156162	
2600	6156164	What? Did I miss something?
2601	6156165	
2602	6156167	Go think about it. Maybe it'll come to you.
2603	6156168	
2604	6156170	
2605	6156171	
2606	6156173	You and Hawke... something's there, isn't there?
2607	6156174	
2608	6156176	She's so amazing and beautiful. How could anyone not love her?
2609	6156177	
2610	6156179	He's clever, strong, wonderful. How could anyone not love him?
2611	6156180	
2612	6156182	How could anyone not?
2613	6156183	
2614	6156185	You're very quiet today. Is something wrong?
2615	6156186	
2616	6156188	<desc>Gasps</desc> It's me. I said something wrong, didn't I?
2617	6156189	
2618	6156191	No, of course not! You could never say anything wrong.
2619	6156192	
2620	6156194	I'm happy for you, Kitten. You've been alone long enough.
2621	6156195	
2622	6156197	Oh, I could give you a list, but that might just bore you.
2623	6156198	
2624	6156200	So... did you get naked?
2625	6156201	
2626	6156203	Isabela!
2627	6156204	
2628	6156206	Ooh, look at that blush. That good, huh?
2629	6156207	
2630	6156209	
2631	6156210	
2632	6156212	<desc>Sighs</desc> Why do you even like me? I must seem so dull.
2633	6156213	
2634	6156215	What brought this on?
2635	6156216	
2636	6156218	Your life has been... so exciting. The adventures, the duels, the passionate love affairs.
2637	6156219	
2638	6156221	Compared to that, my life is a stale, dry biscuit. <desc>Sighs</desc> I wish I had your life.
2639	6156222	
2640	6156224	No. You don't want my life.
2641	6156225	
2642	6156227	Why?
2643	6156228	
2644	6156230	Because you have a good heart, and you deserve better.
2645	6156231	
2646	6156233	
2647	6156234	
2648	6156236	You've had many lovers, haven't you?
2649	6156237	
2650	6156239	Fewer than some think.
2651	6156240	
2652	6156242	But you never stay with them.
2653	6156243	
2654	6156245	No, why should I?
2655	6156246	
2656	6156248	But the act of lovemaking is so... intimate.
2657	6156249	
2658	6156251	I don't "make love." What I do is only skin-deep, Kitten.
2659	6156252	
2660	6156254	Don't worry your pretty little head about it.
2661	6156255	
2662	6156257	
2663	6156258	
2664	6156260	Why are you smiling?
2665	6156261	
2666	6156263	No reason.
2667	6156264	
2668	6156266	Ooh, ooh! It's something dirty, isn't it? Tell me, tell me!
2669	6156267	
2670	6156269	It... it isn't anything dirty. I'm just... happy.
2671	6156270	
2672	6156272	Oh. That's good, too, but I was hoping for something dirty.
2673	6156273	
2674	6156275	Come by the tavern later. I've got stories that will make your toes curl.
2675	6156276	
2676	6155949	
2677	6155950	
2678	6155952	
2679	6155953	
2680	6155955	Rivaini, stop looking at my chest. My eyes are up here.
2681	6155956	
2682	6155958	But the chest hair...
2683	6155959	
2684	6155961	Do you know how much I suffer under your gaze? I am a person, not an object!
2685	6155962	
2686	6155964	Uh, Varric?
2687	6155965	
2688	6155967	<desc>Laughs</desc> Just shitting you.
2689	6155968	
2690	6155970	
2691	6155971	
2692	6155973	I'll let you run your fingers through it, if you want.
2693	6155974	
2694	6155976	Your chest hair? My fingers? Oh, Varric, stop! You're making me quiver.
2695	6155977	
2696	6155979	You know you want to.
2697	6155980	
2698	6155982	Oh, I do... I can't resist you. No woman can.
2699	6155983	
2700	6155985	I know. It's a terrible burden.
2701	6155986	
2702	6155988	
2703	6155989	
2704	6155991	Come to me, and I'll take you to places you've never been...
2705	6155992	
2706	6155994	Isabela... Are you talking to Bianca?
2707	6155995	
2708	6155997	I think she deserves to feel a woman's touch on her trigger, don't you?
2709	6155998	
2710	6156000	Bianca responds to my touch. She'd never give it up for you.
2711	6156001	
2712	6156003	That's what they always say, and I always prove them wrong.
2713	6156004	
2714	6156006	Stop it. You're confusing her. And me.
2715	6156007	
2716	6156009	
2717	6156010	
2718	6156012	Psst. I've got some of it written down now.
2719	6156013	
2720	6156015	Give it here.
2721	6156016	
2722	6156018	"Her breasts strained against the leather jerkin like two wild stallions corralled against their will." <desc>Chuckles</desc>
2723	6156019	
2724	6156021	"She pounced—the smooth moves of a jungle cat—and locked her thighs around Donnic's waist. He—"
2725	6156022	
2726	6156024	<emp>What?</emp>
2727	6156025	
2728	6156027	Nothing.
2729	6156028	
2730	6156030	What is that?
2731	6156031	
2732	6156033	Shh! <desc>Giggles</desc>
2733	6156034	
2734	6156036	Isabela just thought she'd celebrate your love affair with a... written dedication.
2735	6156037	
2736	6156039	It's "friend-fiction!" I do it out of love!
2737	6156040	
2738	6156042	I will never, ever be clean again.
2739	6156043	
2740	6156045	Maybe you should read the rest of it in private.
2741	6156046	
2742	6156048	I think that's best.
2743	6156049	
2744	6156051	
2745	6156052	
2746	6156054	Varric, how does one get made a Paragon?
2747	6156055	
2748	6156057	The Assembly votes on it. Enough votes, and—<emp>BAM!</emp>—you're a living god.
2749	6156058	
2750	6156060	<attrib>You</attrib> should ask to be made a Paragon. Of manliness.
2751	6156061	
2752	6156063	I like the way you think, Rivaini, but one doesn't just ask to be made a Paragon.
2753	6156064	
2754	6156066	Why not? Everyone can <emp>see</emp> you're a paragon of manliness. It's just a matter of making it official.
2755	6156067	
2756	6156069	
2757	6156070	
2758	6156072	After all this, the life of a pirate's going to be a bit dull, isn't it?
2759	6171598	
2760	6156081	I know! I'll have to steal myself another Qunari relic.
2761	6156082	
2762	6171600	The scary thing is, I don't know if you're joking.
2763	6171601	
2764	6171603	Of course I'm joking. I'm not getting involved with <attrib>those</attrib> people again.
2765	6171604	
2766	6171606	No... this time I'll steal the Queen of Antiva. There's no way that could go wrong.
2767	6173308	
2768	6173309	
2769	6173311	
2770	6173312	
2771	6173314	I notice you talk about... vulgar things quite a bit.
2772	6173315	
2773	6173317	Do you want me to stop? Do I make you... uncomfortable?
2774	6173318	
2775	6173320	It was just an observation, really.
2776	6173321	
2777	6173323	It's a bad habit I picked up, spending years with foul-mouthed pirates.
2778	6173324	
2779	6173326	Pirates only care about a small number of very specific things: the sea, strong drink, and booty. Both kinds.
2780	6173327	
2781	6173328	
2782	6173330	All right, let's just get this over with.
2783	6173331	
2784	6173333	A duel?
2785	6173334	
2786	6173336	No, the sermon. The finger-wagging, the guilt-trips, telling me how an unexamined life isn't worth living.
2787	6173337	
2788	6173339	I wasn't going to—
2789	6173340	
2790	6173342	You weren't? You weren't going to tell me to comfort the needy and give freely of myself?
2791	6173343	
2792	6173345	From what I hear, you already give yourself quite freely.
2793	6173346	
2794	6173348	Ooh. You got me there.
2795	6173349	
2796	6173350	
2797	6173352	You've been watching me all day. It's getting a little... distracting.
2798	6173391	
2799	6173355	Merrill's right. Your armor <attrib>is</attrib> shiny. I can see myself in it. Look!
2800	6173356	
2801	6173358	Shit. Oh, shit. Is that a wrinkle? Is that a wrinkle between my brows?
2802	6173359	
2803	6173361	Um. I don't see—
2804	6173362	
2805	6173364	Hold still!
2806	6173368	
2807	6173369	
2808	6173371	It's been years, and not once have you tried to get me to repent or turn to the Maker.
2809	6173372	
2810	6173374	Preaching seldom works, Isabela. To change a person's heart, one has to lead by example.
2811	6173375	
2812	6173377	Huh. That makes sense. I can respect that.
2813	6173378	
2814	6173380	I grew weary of the strings of nameless lovers and the nights full of mindless pleasure. You will, too.
2815	6173381	
2816	6173383	<desc>Gasps</desc> That's the cruelest thing anyone's ever said to me!
2817	6173384	
2818	6173386	I think I'm going to cry.
2819	6136256	
2820	6136633	
2821	6136635	
2822	6136636	
2823	6136638	I heard Varric saying you were a Grey Warden.
2824	6165352	
2825	6165354	I was.
2826	6165359	
2827	6165361	Did you... did you ever meet a Dalish Warden? Mahariel?
2828	6165362	
2829	6165367	No. I had a friend who did, though. Told the most impossible stories.
2830	6165370	
2831	6165376	I'd like to hear them, sometime. If you don't mind.
2832	6165365	As a matter of fact, I did.
2833	6165372	
2834	6165403	Do you know him?
2835	6165404	
2836	6165406	He was one of my clan. I'd known him... almost all my life.
2837	6165407	
2838	6165409	Do you know her?
2839	6165410	
2840	6165412	We grew up together. She was one of my clan.
2841	6165413	
2842	6165415	I keep hoping to hear some news...
2843	6165419	
2844	6165421	I wouldn't get your hopes up. The Hero of Ferelden values privacy rather highly.
2845	6165366	I met a Warden once. Back in Ferelden. Duncan, I think his name was. Very odd man.
2846	6165422	
2847	6165424	He had a marvelous beard, though. I'd never seen one before. I thought a squirrel had grabbed him by the chin.
2848	6136639	Ser Pounce-a-lot... who knighted him?
2849	6165430	
2850	6165432	Is that a serious question?
2851	6165433	
2852	6165435	Did he have a little sword, or just his claws? I bet he had a dashing cap with a feather in it!
2853	6165449	
2854	6165451	Would you stop making fun of my cat?
2855	6165452	
2856	6165454	Oh... no hat, then?
2857	6165469	Are you happy?
2858	6165470	
2859	6165472	Beg your pardon?
2860	6165473	
2861	6165475	He seems happy. Hawke, I mean. Are you?
2862	6165476	
2863	6165478	Because she seems happy. Hawke, I mean. You are, aren't you?
2864	6165479	
2865	6165481	Yes, I suppose I am.
2866	6165483	
2867	6165485	Good! You've spent much too much time being grumpy. It's a nice change.
2868	6136641	Are you all right?
2869	6166365	
2870	6166367	There's no definition of "all right" that fits this state.
2871	6166399	
2872	6166394	I nearly killed an innocent girl. How could I be all right?
2873	6166401	
2874	6166403	I'm sorry.
2875	6166404	
2876	6166406	You're sorry? For me? This could be you! You could be the next monster threatening helpless girls!
2877	6166407	
2878	6166409	Anders... There's no such thing as a good spirit. There never was.
2879	6166410	
2880	6166412	All spirits are dangerous. I understood that. I'm sorry that you didn't.
2881	6136640	You could get another cat, you know. There's one in the Lowtown market with a litter of kittens ready to wean.
2882	6165595	
2883	6165597	You don't pay attention to templars, Qunari, or politics, but you notice kittens?
2884	6165603	
2885	6165605	Templars, Qunari, and politics don't meow and attack your feet when you're buying food.
2886	6165606	
2887	6165608	Are there any tabbies? I'd like a tabby.
2888	6136642	Have I ever mentioned that I like your coat?
2889	6166450	
2890	6166452	You do?
2891	6166453	
2892	6166455	It's very lively! Like a crow in the middle of anting!
2893	6166456	
2894	6166458	That's... that's great. Thanks, Merrill.
2895	6166459	
2896	6166461	I tried to warn you, Blondie.
2897	6166496	
2898	6166462	I wouldn't have called them "lively." Bedraggled, maybe. Or just... fluffy.
2899	6166498	
2900	6166500	You're not helping.
2901	6136643	You really believe, don't you?
2902	6166669	
2903	6166671	What are we talking about?
2904	6166672	
2905	6166674	Believing. You do, I can tell. In freedom. In mages. In good spirits. In bad templars. With more fire than the sun.
2906	6166675	
2907	6166677	And your point is?
2908	6166678	
2909	6166681	I used to believe in things, too. Now... I think maybe it's better just to believe in people.
2910	6166709	
2911	6166711	People make mistakes.
2912	6166712	
2913	6166714	That's why they need you to believe in them. If they never made mistakes, it wouldn't matter if you believed.
2914	6166680	Be careful what you believe in. A lot of things burn in that fire.
2915	6166715	
2916	6166717	Burning isn't necessarily bad. Fire can cleanse.
2917	6166724	
2918	6166726	I don't think people are cleansed by fire.
2919	6166682	I miss it, sometimes. Things being certain.
2920	6166718	
2921	6166720	Some things are certain.
2922	6166727	
2923	6166729	Not anymore.
2924	6136644	
2925	6136645	
2926	6136647	You must really like the Hawke family.
2927	6166961	
2928	6166963	Why do you say that?
2929	6166964	
2930	6166966	You came all the way from Lothering with them, didn't you? And they're not even your clan!
2931	6166967	
2932	6166969	Humans don't have clans, Merrill.
2933	6166970	
2934	6166972	Exactly! You came so far together, and you didn't even have a Keeper to make you get along.
2935	6166973	
2936	6166975	So your Keeper tells you to stop kicking each other, or she'll turn the aravel around?
2937	6166976	
2938	6166978	Sometimes she also warns us to stop pulling hair.
2939	6136648	Did Lothering have an alienage?
2940	6167035	
2941	6167037	It wasn't a big enough village to have a wall around it, let alone a place for elves.
2942	6167038	
2943	6167040	Where did the elves live, then?
2944	6167041	
2945	6167043	Stables and outbuildings, mostly.
2946	6167044	
2947	6167046	I think I like alienages better.
2948	6136649	The Qunari must like it here, to stay so long.
2949	6167051	
2950	6167053	From what I've seen, the Qunari don't like anything.
2951	6167054	
2952	6167056	That can't be true. They must like some things... sunshine? Butterflies? Rainbows?
2953	6167063	
2954	6167065	If I spot a Qunari admiring butterflies, Merrill, you'll be the first person I tell.
2955	6136650	This mirror of yours—what does it do?
2956	6167107	
2957	6167109	Mostly it stands in my house, looking a bit spooky.
2958	6167110	
2959	6167112	But it's magic, right? So it can do... magic things? Is it dangerous?
2960	6167113	
2961	6167115	It could fall on someone, but you'd have to push really hard. It's quite heavy.
2962	6167116	
2963	6167118	Merrill, is it a danger to the people of Kirkwall or not?
2964	6167119	
2965	6167121	Oh! Only to anyone sitting right under it.
2966	6167150	Aveline, you'll look after Hawke, won't you?
2967	6167170	
2968	6167172	The Champion of Kirkwall doesn't really need my protection, Merrill.
2969	6167173	
2970	6167175	Of course I will. What kind of a question is that?
2971	6167176	
2972	6167187	And sometimes Isabela gets into awful trouble. You'll watch out for her, too?
2973	6167188	
2974	6167190	What about Varric? And Anders? You'll watch out for them, too?
2975	6167191	
2976	6167193	Merrill... what brought this on?
2977	6167194	
2978	6167196	Anything could happen. You'll protect them, though. It's what you do.
2979	6167197	
2980	6167199	There's nothing to worry about, Merrill.
2981	6136651	Aveline... do you think we'll win?
2982	6167852	
2983	6167854	Win what?
2984	6167855	
2985	6167857	In the end. It feels like something is ending, doesn't it? Do you think we'll win?
2986	6167858	
2987	6167860	Nothing is ending, Merrill. Things are a little tense, but it will pass.
2988	6168319	
2989	6168321	I hope we win. Varric will make it a good story, I'm sure.
2990	6136653	
2991	6136654	
2992	6136656	You're so lucky.
2993	6164773	
2994	6164775	How do you figure?
2995	6164776	
2996	6164778	I would have loved to have a brother, and a mother, and an uncle.
2997	6164779	
2998	6164781	I wish I had a sister and a whole big family.
2999	6164782	
3000	6164784	It must be wonderful. You'd never be alone!
3001	6164785	
3002	6164787	It is wonderful. Although it might be better without Uncle Gamlen.
3003	6136657	If you could do anything—just anything at all—what would you do?
3004	6164839	
3005	6164841	That's easy. Be normal. No magic, just... normal.
3006	6164842	
3007	6164844	Really? You wouldn't fly across Thedas or eat a cake the size of Kirkwall? Keep a baby griffon for a pet?
3008	6164845	
3009	6164847	Well, now that you say it, the griffon might not be so bad.
3010	6164848	
3011	6164850	I'd name mine "Feathers."
3012	6136658	
3013	6136659	
3014	6136661	Do you miss it? Ferelden, I mean.
3015	6164872	
3016	6164874	Sometimes.
3017	6164875	
3018	6164880	Blackberries. They don't seem to grow here. And there were little songbirds with black caps on their heads.
3019	6165627	
3020	6165629	I sort of miss the dogs barking.
3021	6165630	
3022	6165632	Yes! It's mostly been humans barking at me here. Not nearly as cute.
3023	6136662	How did you learn swording?
3024	6165615	
3025	6165617	"Swording"?
3026	6165618	
3027	6165620	Those things you do with the sword. It looks tricky. Was it hard to learn?
3028	6165621	
3029	6165623	It takes a lot of practice.
3030	6165624	
3031	6165626	Well, you seem good at it! I bet one day you'll be the best sworder in Kirkwall!
3032	6165657	
3033	6165659	Merrill...
3034	6165660	
3035	6165662	I said something wrong again, didn't I? Maybe I'll just stop talking.
3036	6136663	
3037	6136664	
3038	6136666	You've probably never met a Dalish before, have you?
3039	6167861	
3040	6167863	I wouldn't know.
3041	6167864	
3042	6167866	I'm sure you'd be able to tell. Dalish aren't much like the elves in the cities.
3043	6167910	
3044	6167912	The smug sense of superiority does give you away.
3045	6136667	Certainly your people have stories about the Dalish. No?
3046	6167947	
3047	6167949	<attrib>My</attrib> people?
3048	6167950	
3049	6167952	The elves in Tevinter. They must have heard of us.
3050	6167953	
3051	6167955	They've heard. They just don't care.
3052	6167956	
3053	6167958	But if they ran away, the Dalish would help them.
3054	6167959	
3055	6167961	You might as well say, "If they flew into the sky, they could live in the clouds."
3056	6167962	
3057	6167964	What would they eat in the clouds? There's nothing there but fluff and the occasional bird.
3058	6167977	
3059	6167979	This is why nobody takes the Dalish seriously.
3060	6136668	Did you step on something sharp, Fenris?
3061	6167980	
3062	6167982	No.
3063	6167983	
3064	6167985	Slam your fingers in a door?
3065	6167986	
3066	6167988	No.
3067	6167989	
3068	6167991	Smack your head on a low beam?
3069	6167992	
3070	6167994	Is there a point to this line of questioning?
3071	6167995	
3072	6167997	Just wondering why you're so cross all the time.
3073	6167998	
3074	6168000	I think he jabs himself with those spikes, personally.
3075	6173759	
3076	6173761	Perhaps it's the inane prodding.
3077	6136669	<desc>Giggles</desc>
3078	6168022	
3079	6168024	What? Why are you looking at me like that?
3080	6168025	
3081	6168027	You're in love!
3082	6168028	
3083	6168030	I am not.
3084	6168031	
3085	6168033	You keep looking at Hawke with sad puppy eyes every time his back is turned.
3086	6168034	
3087	6168036	Every time she looks away, you stare at Hawke with those sad puppy eyes.
3088	6168037	
3089	6168039	There are no puppy eyes.
3090	6168040	
3091	6168042	It's all right, you know. Even you can be happy once in a while. It won't kill you.
3092	6168043	
3093	6168045	But your face might crack if you smile, so be careful.
3094	6136670	Do you regret it? What happened with your sister, I mean.
3095	6168340	
3096	6168342	No.
3097	6168416	
3098	6168418	You don't feel bad about killing her? Not even a little?
3099	6168541	
3100	6168601	It was necessary.
3101	6168602	
3102	6168419	You don't wish... that maybe you hadn't found her again?
3103	6168543	
3104	6168545	Whatever I wish, it is already done.
3105	6168604	
3106	6168687	You're lucky, then. There are so many things I wish I could undo.
3107	6136671	Poor Anders.
3108	6168907	
3109	6168909	You pity him? He's dangerous to himself and everyone around him.
3110	6168910	
3111	6168912	I think he's broken the thing he wanted to save.
3112	6169050	
3113	6169052	You pity him because he's <emp>you</emp>.
3114	6169053	
3115	6169055	Breaking the things you love most isn't restricted to mages, Fenris.
3116	6173762	
3117	6173764	Sadly true.
3118	6136672	
3119	6136673	
3120	6136675	How do you do that?
3121	6169152	
3122	6169154	Do what, Kitten?
3123	6169155	
3124	6169157	You sort of... swagger when you walk. I've been trying, but I trip over my own feet when I do it.
3125	6169158	
3126	6169160	You just strut. It's not something you practice.
3127	6169161	
3128	6169163	How do I learn it, then?
3129	6169169	
3130	6169171	It comes to you. Usually at night. It's like a lover... or maybe a burglar.
3131	6169172	
3132	6169174	Either it ravishes you or runs off with all your jewelry, and you have to run it down and stab it in the heart. 
3133	6169196	
3134	6169198	And... that metaphor got a bit away from me, didn't it?
3135	6169199	
3136	6169201	I think it did, but it was certainly exciting!
3137	6136676	Do you have a parrot, Isabela?
3138	6169283	
3139	6169285	What would I want a parrot for?
3140	6169286	
3141	6169288	What about a peg leg? Do you have one of those?
3142	6169289	
3143	6169291	You can see that I don't, dear.
3144	6169292	
3145	6169294	Eye patch?
3146	6169295	
3147	6169297	I'm disappointing you terribly, aren't I? And no hook for a hand, either.
3148	6169298	
3149	6169300	Seems that Varric's pirate stories are awfully inaccurate.
3150	6169301	
3151	6169303	He knows, Kitten. He likes them better that way.
3152	6136677	What was Llomerryn like? I've never heard of a Dalish who's been there.
3153	6169316	
3154	6169318	I don't imagine your people travel between islands much.
3155	6169330	
3156	6169332	Not really, no.
3157	6169334	
3158	6169336	I wouldn't start waterproofing your wagons, then. I don't think Llomerryn is ready for the Dalish.
3159	6169345	
3160	6169347	What do you mean? Would we upset the people there?
3161	6169348	
3162	6169350	It's not the kind of place where one turns down a tumble. Even refuse a fortune-teller, and they'd run your lot out of town.
3163	6136678	How do you suppose the Qunari scratch their heads with those horns in the way?
3164	6169470	
3165	6169472	Why do you think I would know?
3166	6169473	
3167	6169475	Because you know lots of things! I wonder if they rub their heads against tree trunks like halla do.
3168	6169476	
3169	6169478	I'd pay a sovereign to see that.
3170	6169522	
3171	6169524	No wonder they seem so cranky all the time.
3172	6136679	I think that Hawke likes you, Isabela.
3173	6169674	
3174	6169676	I certainly hope so!
3175	6169678	
3176	6169704	Of course, it's not surprising at all that anybody would love you, but it's nice to see you both happy.
3177	6169705	
3178	6169707	Merrill, sometimes you're so sweet I could eat you for dessert.
3179	6169677	You think so, do you?
3180	6169680	
3181	6169708	He's always looking at you, and then pretending he wasn't.
3182	6169709	
3183	6169711	She looks at you all the time, and then she looks embarrassed and pretends she's busy with something else.
3184	6169712	
3185	6169714	I can hear you, you know.
3186	6169715	
3187	6169717	<desc>Giggles</desc> See?
3188	6169718	
3189	6169720	Hmm. I'll have to think about that...
3190	6136680	Do you think you'll leave Kirkwall some day?
3191	6169736	
3192	6169738	I might if I can persuade the right person to come away with me.
3193	6169739	
3194	6169741	Of course I will! As soon as I get myself a ship, I'm sailing wherever the sea takes me.
3195	6169742	
3196	6169744	I'll miss you. You'll write to me, won't you? Do pirates write letters?
3197	6169745	
3198	6169747	Badly. Hook hands make for awful penmanship, Kitten.
3199	6136681	
3200	6136682	
3201	6136684	I've never met a dwarf before.
3202	6169770	
3203	6169772	That's because you've spent too much time frolicking in the woods, Daisy. Dwarves don't frolic.
3204	6169773	
3205	6169775	Dalish don't really frolic, either. Not in the woods, anyway.
3206	6169776	
3207	6169778	You have sanctioned frolicking areas?
3208	6169779	
3209	6169781	No, just not in the woods. The trees get jealous.
3210	6169782	
3211	6169784	But you do frolic?
3212	6169785	
3213	6169787	Of course we do! We wouldn't be elves, otherwise.
3214	6136685	You remind me of Hahren Paivel, Varric. Only younger. And shorter. And not as serious.
3215	6169789	
3216	6169791	So it's a close resemblance, then.
3217	6169792	
3218	6169794	Well, he tells stories. And you tell stories. Although none of his begin, "No shit, there I was."
3219	6169795	
3220	6169797	I'll have to give him some better stories, then.
3221	6136686	Bianca is a very pretty name.
3222	6169798	
3223	6169800	I'll tell her you said so, Daisy.
3224	6169801	
3225	6169803	She can't actually hear you, can she?
3226	6169811	
3227	6169813	Of course she can. What kind of a question is that?
3228	6169814	
3229	6169816	Wait, are we talking about your crossbow or something else now?
3230	6136687	I'm sorry about your brother, Varric. Have you any other family?
3231	6169817	
3232	6169819	I have family like a rat has fleas, Daisy.
3233	6169820	
3234	6169822	Does that mean you have a lot of family, or that they make you itch a lot?
3235	6169823	
3236	6169825	Both.
3237	6136688	Is there a story behind Bianca?
3238	6169826	
3239	6169828	There's a story behind everything, Daisy.
3240	6169854	
3241	6169856	So tell me!
3242	6169857	
3243	6169859	I can't.
3244	6169860	
3245	6169862	Why not?
3246	6169863	
3247	6169865	There was a girl, and I made a promise. Bianca is the only story I can never tell.
3248	6169866	
3249	6169868	You can't say that! Now I want to know even more!
3250	6169869	
3251	6169871	That was the idea, Daisy.
3252	6169844	Do you ever miss her?
3253	6169845	
3254	6169847	Isabela? Of course I do.
3255	6169848	
3256	6169850	You called her by her name. I've never heard you do that before.
3257	6169851	
3258	6169853	No fun in calling her Rivaini if she's not here to be annoyed by it.
3259	6136689	Varric, how does the story end?
3260	6169829	
3261	6169831	Which story, Daisy?
3262	6169832	
3263	6169834	The big one. With us and Hawke, the mages, the templars. Everything.
3264	6169835	
3265	6169837	You want to know before it happens? You're not worried about spoiling the surprise?
3266	6169838	
3267	6169840	I might not see it end.
3268	6169841	
3269	6169843	You have to stick with us if you want to know how it turns out, Daisy.
3270	6167867	
3271	6167868	
3272	6167870	Your armor is very shiny, Sebastian. Doesn't that make you an easier target?
3273	6169451	
3274	6169453	The Light of the Maker is my armor, Merrill. I am not afraid.
3275	6169456	
3276	6169458	Maybe you could ask Him to make His Light less shiny? Then you wouldn't need as much armor.
3277	6167871	If your city was stolen, why didn't you just call the guards?
3278	6169748	
3279	6169750	I'm afraid the matter can't be handled by guards, Merrill.
3280	6169751	
3281	6169753	Aveline could help you! She's very good at making thieves give things back. I think it's because she's so tall.
3282	6169759	
3283	6169761	This is beyond even Aveline's power, I'm sorry to say.
3284	6169762	
3285	6169764	Are you sure? Have you seen her hit people?
3286	6169765	
3287	6169767	I can hear every word you're saying.
3288	6167872	I've always wondered: how do your Divines choose their names?
3289	6169883	
3290	6169885	They write all the best sacred names on slips of paper and stuff them in a miter.
3291	6169886	
3292	6169888	Then the newly elected Divine picks a name out of the hat.
3293	6170161	
3294	6170163	What if she picks a name she doesn't like? Does she have to keep it?
3295	6170164	
3296	6170166	Of course she does. How do you think we got four Divines named Hortensia?
3297	6167873	Does your bow have a name? Varric's bow has a name.
3298	6170192	
3299	6170194	I'm afraid I can't compete with our dear dwarf's... relationship to his weapon.
3300	6170195	
3301	6170197	You could call it Philomela!
3302	6170198	
3303	6170200	Why would I do that?
3304	6170201	
3305	6170203	Because it reminds me of a woman in the alienage. Skinny, pointed, and always throwing things at people.
3306	6172685	
3307	6172686	
3308	6172688	
3309	6172689	
3310	6172691	You seem very angry.
3311	6172692	
3312	6172694	And here I thought the Chantry was <emp>against</emp> mind-reading.
3313	6172695	
3314	6172697	Did something happen to you in the Circle? I understand there were problems in Ferelden...
3315	6172698	
3316	6172700	Are you saying a mage can only be unhappy in the Circle if demons are involved?
3317	6172701	
3318	6172703	No, it's not about Uldred. It's not about being beaten or raped by a templar— that does happen, but I've been fortunate.
3319	6172704	
3320	6172706	It's a larger principle: the freedom every man, woman, and child born in Thedas have as a natural right.
3321	6172707	
3322	6172709	You were given to the Circle. I was given to the Chantry. Hawke was driven away from home by darkspawn.
3323	6172710	
3324	6172712	None of us are free.
3325	6172713	So your "Tranquil Solution" was hardly the holocaust you imagined.
3326	6172714	
3327	6172716	You've been seeking revenge for the death of one family for as long as I've known you.
3328	6172717	
3329	6172719	Are you honestly judging me for trying to save the lives of every mage in Thedas?
3330	6172720	
3331	6172722	But they were never threatened. It was a single man's lunacy.
3332	6172723	
3333	6172725	The Chantry would never follow through with such a thing.
3334	6172726	
3335	6172728	Yet.
3336	6172729	How can you keep standing up for her?
3337	6172730	
3338	6172732	Who?
3339	6172733	
3340	6172735	That doddering old biddy of a grand cleric.
3341	6172736	
3342	6172738	How dare you! Elthina is everything a grand cleric should be. She's holy, wise—
3343	6172739	
3344	6172741	Spineless... hesitant. She's clay in Meredith's hands.
3345	6172742	
3346	6172744	In the face of danger, sometimes the bravest thing is to stand back and trust that the Maker will see justice done.
3347	6172745	
3348	6172747	Well if doing nothing sums up your religion, then Elthina <emp>is</emp> perfect. Personally, I'd prefer a Chantry that favors action over sloth.
3349	6172748	You've made no secret of your intent to lead the mages here in revolution.
3350	6172749	
3351	6172751	Well, I've tried not to shout it from the rooftops. You've just been around when I talk with my <emp>friends</emp>.
3352	6172752	
3353	6172754	Well, as we have mutual friends—who for some reason don't want you to get hurt—let me tell you this:
3354	6172755	
3355	6172757	If you go forward with this revolt, the Chantry will bring its full might to bear. They <emp>will</emp> kill you.
3356	6172758	
3357	6172760	Andraste was killed. That doesn't mean she failed.
3358	6172761	
3359	6172763	Do not compare yourself to Andraste.
3360	6172764	
3361	6172765	
3362	6172767	I understand you are of noble birth.
3363	6172768	
3364	6172770	My father was a chevalier. He had to flee Orlais when his patron was murdered.
3365	6172771	
3366	6172773	I'm sorry.
3367	6172774	
3368	6172776	I wouldn't have been suited for the life of an Orlesian noblewoman, anyway.
3369	6172777	
3370	6172779	But surely you wish it had been different? To be a lady of Orlais and not a... city guardsman?
3371	6172780	
3372	6172782	Not for one moment.
3373	6172783	
3374	6172785	I'd rather kill a bandit and save a merchant's family than know the correct dance steps and which rouge is in fashion.
3375	6172786	I hope this wasn't presumptuous, but I added your husband's name to the memorial wall in the chantry.
3376	6172787	
3377	6172789	Wesley? But... you never knew him.
3378	6172790	
3379	6172792	He was a templar. He refused to abandon the people of Ferelden to the Blight. He died too young.
3380	6172793	
3381	6172795	The grand cleric will read his name during the Chant of Remembrance.
3382	6172796	
3383	6172798	Thank you. That is... very kind.
3384	6172799	
3385	6172801	He walks with the Maker. But it is no shame for those left behind to mourn.
3386	6172802	What have I done now? You look like you wish to scold me.
3387	6172803	
3388	6172805	I just can't fathom why you're still in Kirkwall.
3389	6172806	
3390	6172808	For six years, you've been claiming you'll retake your parents' lands.
3391	6172809	
3392	6172811	You're smart, you'd be a capable ruler. What are you waiting for?
3393	6172812	
3394	6172817	I don't know if it's the right thing to do.
3395	6172818	
3396	6172820	Do we ever get to know that?
3397	6172821	Do you have many dealings with the knight-commander?
3398	6172822	
3399	6172824	Please don't start with that. I'm not a templar. I'm the captain of the guard.
3400	6172825	
3401	6172827	We arrest burglars. The knight-commander never gives us a thought.
3402	6172828	
3403	6172830	Grand Cleric Elthina is worried about her. She's stopped taking the Chantry's advice.
3404	6172831	
3405	6172833	Her job's not easy. Certain... forces in the city are allied against her.
3406	6172834	
3407	6172836	Don't try to be subtle. I'm right here.
3408	6172837	
3409	6172839	Clearly, our templars need strong leaders.
3410	6172840	
3411	6172842	Until something changes, that's Meredith. And we must give her any support we are able.
3412	6172843	
3413	6172844	
3414	6172846	Were you ever dedicated in the faith of the Chantry?
3415	6172847	
3416	6172849	I have no memory of my childhood.
3417	6172850	
3418	6172852	Danarius had no desire to teach his slaves anything that made them think they're worthy beings.
3419	6172853	
3420	6172855	I'm sorry. I can't imagine how difficult your life has been.
3421	6172856	
3422	6172858	No, you can't.
3423	6172859	
3424	6172861	Whether you were taught it or not, the Maker has room at his side for every soul. Even yours.
3425	6172862	You know, Fenris, as a brother in the Chantry, I'm allowed to hear confessions.
3426	6172863	
3427	6172865	Why would you tell me this?
3428	6172866	
3429	6172868	I know Danarius made you do things. I thought you might be more comfortable talking to a friend.
3430	6172869	
3431	6172871	You should know, a murder committed under duress is a sin on the one ordered it, not the one whose hands carried out the deed.
3432	6172872	
3433	6172874	Have I not spoken enough of my past? Does everyone in Kirkwall wish to hear every sordid detail?
3434	6172875	
3435	6172877	I know I do.
3436	6172878	
3437	6172880	Sometimes, it's painful to speak. But it's the only way the wound can be lanced.
3438	6172881	Terrible things <emp>do</emp> happen, Sebastian.
3439	6172882	
3440	6172884	But what we see is only a piece of the puzzle. Only the Maker can see the greater picture.
3441	6172885	
3442	6172893	The guilty prosper. Innocents die.
3443	6172894	
3444	6172896	And then they are brought to the side of the Maker. Their suffering ends. There is always a greater purpose.
3445	6172897	
3446	6172899	Danarius once killed a little boy to fuel blood magic that let him impress his fellow Senators at a party. What was the purpose there?
3447	6172900	
3448	6172902	Perhaps it was witnessing that which will give you the strength to prevent it ever happening again.
3449	6172903	It's our duty to tell the templars.
3450	6172904	
3451	6172906	Then why haven't you done it?
3452	6172907	
3453	6172909	I guess I was hoping they'd come to it on their own.
3454	6172910	
3455	6172912	And then you wouldn't have to betray Hawke's friends, right?
3456	6172913	
3457	6172918	That's not reason enough to allow a maleficar to walk free.
3458	6172919	
3459	6172921	You think the templars don't know I'm here? They just haven't <emp>caught</emp> me yet.
3460	6172922	
3461	6172924	Are you talking about me?
3462	6172925	
3463	6172927	Which of us should do it? Shall we draw lots?
3464	6172928	
3465	6172930	Uh-uh. You want to turn them in, you work it out with Hawke.
3466	6172931	
3467	6172932	
3468	6172934	Is this getting you any closer to your ship?
3469	6172935	
3470	6172937	Huh?
3471	6172938	
3472	6172940	I just... don't understand why you're working with Hawke. You don't seem to <emp>care</emp> about anything we do.
3473	6172941	
3474	6172943	What's keeping you here?
3475	6172944	
3476	6172946	Mostly the sex.
3477	6172947	
3478	6172949	Hawke's an absolute tiger between the sheets. I mean, all night, every night.
3479	6172950	
3480	6172952	Oh, cute! You're blushing!
3481	6172953	Mostly the Blooming Rose. I'm paid up through the end of the year. I'd hate not to use it.
3482	6172954	
3483	6172956	The... brothel?
3484	6172957	
3485	6172959	What? Women can't go to brothels, too? You're just not using your imagination.
3486	6172960	
3487	6172962	Oh, look! Now you are. You're cute when you're blushing.
3488	6172963	I used to be like you, you know.
3489	6172964	
3490	6172966	You used to be a woman?
3491	6172967	
3492	6172969	No!
3493	6172970	
3494	6172972	That explains a lot.
3495	6172973	
3496	6172975	My family put me in the Chantry because I was giving them a bad name.
3497	6172976	
3498	6172978	It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I found peace. I found a purpose.
3499	6172979	
3500	6172981	Before I came here, I used to be out to all hours, drinking and whoring. I didn't believe in anything except my own pleasure.
3501	6172982	
3502	6172984	Why couldn't I have met you then?
3503	6172985	That was very brave, coming back to face the Qunari.
3504	6172986	
3505	6172988	It was idiotic. They would've killed me.
3506	6172989	
3507	6172991	And you returned anyway. You couldn't face the thought of so many innocents dying for something you could prevent.
3508	6172992	
3509	6172994	Tell that to the viscount.
3510	6172995	
3511	6172997	It's frightening, isn't it, to realize you have the potential to be a better person?
3512	6173007	So, I've never understood why the Chantry says if you're good, you'll be taken up to the Maker's side.
3513	6173008	
3514	6173010	Those who die with the sins cleansed from their souls will walk beside the Maker in eternity.
3515	6173011	
3516	6173013	That doesn't sound <emp>fun</emp>!
3517	6173014	
3518	6173016	If they really want people to be good, shouldn't they offer an afterlife with... lakes of wine and a dozen naked virgins?
3519	6173017	
3520	6173019	Anyone who wants that will be going to the Void.
3521	6173020	
3522	6173022	Sounds like that's where all the good parties will be.
3523	6173023	
3524	6173024	
3525	6173026	Have you heard the Chant of Light?
3526	6173027	
3527	6173029	That's the song they sing at the chantry, right? It's pretty... but a little repetitive.
3528	6173030	
3529	6173032	Then you know the story? How Andraste became the Maker's divine bride and convinced Him to offer us a second chance?
3530	6173033	
3531	6173035	Right. But I never understood why she had to die.
3532	6173036	
3533	6173038	Her mortal husband betrayed her out of jealousy.
3534	6173039	
3535	6173041	But if He wanted her to spread her faith, couldn't she do that better alive?
3536	6173042	
3537	6173044	The Maker gave us free will. By his betrayal, Maferath showed that men were not yet worth saving.
3538	6173045	
3539	6173047	I don't know. It's a nice story, but I think it's got some holes.
3540	6173048	So, what do you believe, Merrill?
3541	6173049	
3542	6173051	Our gods abandoned us long ago. They haven't answered our prayers since the fall of Arlathan.
3543	6173052	
3544	6173054	When we've proven that we're elves again, that we didn't lose everything, they'll come back to us.
3545	6173055	
3546	6173057	We say the same of the Maker.
3547	6173058	
3548	6173060	Perhaps they're only different names for the same divine force that created the world.
3549	6173061	
3550	6173063	The Maker wants you to be elves?
3551	6173076	What does your Chantry <emp>do</emp>?
3552	6173077	
3553	6173079	I mean, you keep saying how great it is. Anders and Isabela tell me to stay away from it. But what does it do?
3554	6173080	
3555	6173082	Among the Dalish, the Keepers teach the children, preserve our history, perform magic. The priestesses here just... sing.
3556	6173083	
3557	6173085	The Chantry does many charitable works. It cares for widows and orphans—
3558	6173086	
3559	6173088	Who in the Dalish would just be part of the clan, like everyone else.
3560	6179313	
3561	6179315	I just don't get it.
3562	6173089	You need to seek atonement.
3563	6173090	
3564	6173092	I know I should have died there, not Marethari. Don't you think I feel guilty enough? 
3565	6173093	
3566	6173095	Guilt isn't a punishment. It's a reminder there are things you haven't set right.
3567	6173096	
3568	6173098	The only way to shed its burden is to repent with a sincere heart and rectify your failings.
3569	6173099	
3570	6173101	But how?
3571	6173102	
3572	6173104	My entire clan is dead because of me.
3573	6173105	
3574	6173107	The Keeper is dead. My clan lost everything because of me.
3575	6173108	
3576	6173110	There's not enough I can do in this lifetime to make up for that.
3577	6173111	
3578	6173113	It was your pride that led you to the demon. Admitting what you <emp>can't</emp> do is a good first step.
3579	6173114	
3580	6173115	
3581	6173117	It's been very exciting working with Hawke.
3582	6173118	
3583	6173120	Are you for real?
3584	6173121	
3585	6173123	It seems like she's involved every time something goes wrong in Kirkwall.
3586	6173124	
3587	6173126	It seems like he's involved every time there's a crisis in Kirkwall.
3588	6173127	
3589	6173129	I've never had so many opportunities to help people!
3590	6173130	
3591	6173132	All right. I thought I was getting tired of moody. I take it back.
3592	6173133	
3593	6173135	You're making my teeth ache.
3594	6173136	You must forgive your brother.
3595	6173137	
3596	6173139	While you were off playing prince, Bartrand trapped us in the Deep Roads and left us to die.
3597	6173140	
3598	6173142	When you hold onto anger, it colors everything you do.
3599	6173143	
3600	6173145	You escaped the Deep Roads. You built a life without your brother. Do you still want him haunting you?
3601	6173146	
3602	6173148	Oh, go find some beggars to sing to, will you?
3603	6173149	You know, if you have time, I could give you a few archery pointers.
3604	6173150	
3605	6173152	Excuse me?
3606	6173153	
3607	6173155	Sometimes your shots veer a little left. I thought maybe your cocking ring was off.
3608	6173156	
3609	6173158	I could take a look if you like.
3610	6173159	
3611	6173161	You want to touch Bianca's <emp>cocking ring</emp>?
3612	6173162	
3613	6173164	It was just a thought.
3614	6173165	So, I've known you for three years now. I give up. You beat me. What is it?
3615	6173166	
3616	6173171	You like boys? Sheep? You slept with your sister?
3617	6173172	
3618	6173174	What are you talking about?
3619	6173175	
3620	6173177	What are you hiding? Nobody's this bloody clean.
3621	6173178	
3622	6173180	After you leave the chantry you... get drunk at the Hanged Man and walk around in women's clothes?
3623	6173181	
3624	6173183	Not that I've seen. Unfortunately.
3625	6173184	
3626	6173186	I've been honest with you and Hawke.
3627	6173187	
3628	6173189	Liar.
3629	6173190	
3630	6173192	Lying is a sin.
3631	6136257	
3632	6136258	
3633	6136260	
3634	6136690	
3635	6136692	I've always wondered, why is every surface dwarf a merchant or a smith?
3636	6167206	
3637	6167212	You left out criminals and hired muscle.
3638	6167213	
3639	6167215	They don't count.
3640	6167216	
3641	6167208	We dwarves are drawn to shiny objects. Sort of like magpies, but with business sense.
3642	6167218	
3643	6167220	You're kidding.
3644	6167221	
3645	6167223	Of course I am. We come to the surface with the skills our ancestors had, Blondie.
3646	6167224	
3647	6167226	You think there's a tradition of dwarf woodcutters in Orzammar? Bee keepers? Sailors? 
3648	6167227	
3649	6167229	Well, there could be mushroom growers and nug wranglers.
3650	6167230	
3651	6167232	Orzammar will never let those people go topside. Too vital. Also, embarrassing.
3652	6136693	So a human, an elf, and a dwarf walk into a bar...
3653	6169874	
3654	6169876	The human says, "You're lucky you're so short. That hurt like mad!"
3655	6169877	
3656	6169879	You could've just stopped me, Blondie.
3657	6169880	
3658	6169882	Why waste a perfectly good set-up?
3659	6136694	Blondie, I don't mean to sound critical, but have you considered a new line of work?
3660	6169985	
3661	6169987	Such as?
3662	6169988	
3663	6169990	Pretty much anything? I don't think "renegade mage" has a bright future. Or any retirement plan.
3664	6136695	If you've got something to say, just spit it out.
3665	6170311	
3666	6170313	Are you sure you want to encourage me? I might be about to confess my undying love.
3667	6170314	
3668	6170316	I get that a lot. So what's on your mind?
3669	6170317	
3670	6170319	I just realized it's been a while since any of the gangs in the Undercity came to my door.
3671	6170320	
3672	6170322	They're busy people. Places to go, throats to cut. Maybe you've slipped their minds.
3673	6170323	
3674	6170325	Right. The apostate running the free clinic in the sewers. Easy to forget. You didn't have anything to do with this?
3675	6170326	
3676	6170328	You must have me confused with someone else! I'm just a businessman and a storyteller.
3677	6136696	So, three templars walk into a tavern.
3678	6170377	
3679	6170379	Not right now, Varric.
3680	6170380	
3681	6170382	You feeling all right, Blondie? You're <emp>always</emp> in the mood for templar jokes.
3682	6136697	You've been glowering for days. Your face is going to get stuck that way.
3683	6170383	
3684	6170385	My face is the least of my concerns right now.
3685	6170386	
3686	6170388	That's because you don't have to look at it.
3687	6170389	
3688	6170391	If you could see it from this angle, Blondie, it'd be at least a close second on your priority list.
3689	6136261	
3690	6136698	
3691	6136700	A Fereldan in the guard. What will they think of next?
3692	6170552	
3693	6170554	You have a problem with that?
3694	6170555	
3695	6170557	Me? My family's not native either. I'm just surprised. Lots of old prejudice in the guard.
3696	6170558	
3697	6170560	I'll give them plenty of reason to change their minds.
3698	6170561	
3699	6170563	You know, it's possible they're just scared shitless of you. That's my theory, anyway.
3700	6136701	So what do you do, Aveline?
3701	6170564	
3702	6170566	You know I'm a guard, why are you asking?
3703	6170567	
3704	6170569	I mean in your off-duty hours. For fun. You've heard of it, I hope?
3705	6170570	
3706	6170572	These are my off-duty hours.
3707	6170573	
3708	6170575	And the trend of you scaring the piss out of me continues.
3709	6136702	Blondie, Sunshine, Daisy, Rivaini... what am I?
3710	6170577	
3711	6170579	Beg your pardon?
3712	6170580	
3713	6170582	You don't call anyone by name except for me. Where's my nickname?
3714	6170583	
3715	6170585	That's not true. There's Hawke. And Bianca.
3716	6170586	
3717	6170588	"Hawke" is a family name and Bianca is a crossbow. Don't change the subject.
3718	6170589	
3719	6170591	Haven't thought of a good one yet. What do you think of "Red"?
3720	6170592	
3721	6170594	Too common.
3722	6170595	
3723	6170597	Well, when you think of one, let me know.
3724	6136703	You know the Tethras family businesses are registered in your cousin Elmand's name?
3725	6170622	
3726	6170624	You don't say?
3727	6170625	
3728	6170627	But I can't find any record of you having a cousin Elmand.
3729	6170628	
3730	6170630	I'll introduce you some time. He's a little on the shy side.
3731	6170631	
3732	6170633	Varric. He's imaginary.
3733	6170634	
3734	6170636	Which makes him a much better head of the household than I am. He never misses the Merchants Guild meetings, for one.
3735	6136704	Why are you still here, Varric?
3736	6170637	
3737	6170639	Starkhaven's too pretentious for me and Cumberland's too boring.
3738	6170640	
3739	6170642	You always say you hate commitment, but here you are, six years later, still at Hawke's side.
3740	6170643	
3741	6170645	Aveline, I thought you'd have noticed by now: I lie a lot.
3742	6136705	Strange, I always thought I'd wind up arresting you some day.
3743	6170688	
3744	6170690	If I ever decide to get caught, Aveline, you'll be the guard I let catch me.
3745	6170691	
3746	6170693	"Let catch you"?
3747	6170694	
3748	6170696	"Decide to get caught" didn't trip you up though. Good to know!
3749	6136706	
3750	6136707	
3751	6136709	Are you really not afraid of apostates? Not even a little?
3752	6164550	
3753	6164552	Sunshine, I'm a dwarf, in case you missed that detail.
3754	6164553	
3755	6164555	Dwarves aren't completely immune to magic, you know.
3756	6164556	
3757	6164558	No, no, no! I meant there are at least thirty people in this town who'd murder my family over trade deals.
3758	6164559	
3759	6164561	Who has time to worry about apostates with a Merchants Guild breathing down your neck?
3760	6164562	
3761	6164564	In that case... I see.
3762	6136710	So... Milady Sunshine, what's your first act as a noblewoman going to be?
3763	6164718	
3764	6164720	A noblewoman with no fortune and no title? Looking for work, probably.
3765	6164728	
3766	6164730	Practicality is for peasants, my lady. You need to do something frivolous to celebrate your birthright.
3767	6164731	
3768	6164733	Such as...?
3769	6164734	
3770	6164736	Come up to the Hightown Market and complain bitterly that there's no Orlesian silk that matches your eyes.
3771	6164737	
3772	6164739	But what if something does match my eyes? What will I do, then?
3773	6164740	
3774	6164742	Insist that they're blatantly copying you, and demand royalties. A good noble always has a complaint ready, Sunshine.
3775	6164652	Your family used to be noble, right?
3776	6164749	
3777	6164751	By some definition of the term.
3778	6164752	
3779	6164754	Do you ever wonder what your life would have been like, if you were still nobles?
3780	6164755	
3781	6164757	Sunshine, nobility is just an expensive lifestyle. I've already got one of those.
3782	6164758	
3783	6164760	Nobles have power, too. And responsibilities.
3784	6164767	
3785	6164769	Estates, servants, investments, mercenaries, assassins? We've still got all those things.
3786	6164770	
3787	6164772	It's sunnier here, and nobody calls me <attrib>my lord</attrib>. I think I can live with that.
3788	6136711	
3789	6136712	
3790	6136714	You know, Junior, it's eerie how much resemblance there is between you two.
3791	6164445	
3792	6164447	We're brothers. What's eerie about that?
3793	6164448	
3794	6164450	She's my sister. Of course there's a resemblance.
3795	6164451	
3796	6164453	Oh, you thought I meant Hawke? I was talking about Gamlen.
3797	6164454	
3798	6164456	Maker, I hate you, dwarf.
3799	6136715	You know, Junior, you're looking at this all wrong.
3800	6164488	
3801	6164490	Whatever it is you're about to say, I'm not interested.
3802	6164491	
3803	6164493	I'm a professional younger brother. Trust me, the center of attention's the worst place to be.
3804	6164494	
3805	6164496	When things go wrong, and they always do, that's where all the fingers point. Look at any kingdom in Thedas.
3806	6164497	
3807	6164499	You've got people who warm thrones, and people nobody sees who do the real work.
3808	6164500	
3809	6164502	So my brother is a king now? Just what he needed.
3810	6164504	
3811	6164503	And my sister is a queen in this scenario. Perfect.
3812	6164506	
3813	6164508	Point. Missing it. Ah well.
3814	6136716	
3815	6136717	
3816	6136719	So, elf. That thing you do with your hand...
3817	6169954	
3818	6169956	I can already tell this isn't going anywhere pleasant.
3819	6169957	
3820	6169959	I bet that makes pickpocketing easier.
3821	6169960	
3822	6169962	I'll try it some time and find out.
3823	6136720	Is brooding a sport in Tevinter? Do they hold competitions? Hand out trophies for the best scowls?
3824	6169973	
3825	6169975	I'm not "brooding."
3826	6169976	
3827	6169978	Moping, then. You seem like you're a champion at it.
3828	6169979	
3829	6169981	I'm perfectly content at the moment.
3830	6169982	
3831	6169984	Oh, so that's you <emp>smiling</emp>? Glad you clarified that. I'd never have known.
3832	6136721	You really ought to take that offer, elf. It'd keep the Coterie off your back pretty much permanently.
3833	6170042	
3834	6170044	I don't need employment.
3835	6170045	
3836	6170047	But it wouldn't kill you to make some friends in this city. Three years, and you're practically a ghost.
3837	6170048	
3838	6170050	I prefer it that way.
3839	6170051	
3840	6170053	Healthy attitude there. Forget I said anything.
3841	6136722	So what do you do in that gigantic house all day?
3842	6170087	
3843	6170089	Dance, of course.
3844	6170090	
3845	6170092	Really?
3846	6170093	
3847	6170095	I run from room to room, choreographing routines.
3848	6170096	
3849	6170098	You're actually joking. Alert the Chantry! They need to put this on the calendar!
3850	6170099	
3851	6170101	And you thought I was always serious.
3852	6136723	You know you still owe me five sovereigns, elf.
3853	6170204	
3854	6170206	I'm good for it.
3855	6170229	
3856	6170234	So, you think you can win the coin from Isabela? Good luck with that.
3857	6170235	
3858	6170237	Coming to the Hanged Man for Wicked Grace later?
3859	6170238	
3860	6170240	Never miss it.
3861	6170231	Meaning that you'll borrow it from Hawke, probably.
3862	6170232	
3863	6136724	So... you and Hawke?
3864	6170251	
3865	6170253	What about us?
3866	6170254	
3867	6170256	Want to make sure I get all the details right when I tell this story.
3868	6170257	
3869	6170259	Did he sweep you off your feet? I'm assuming he did the sweeping. He's taller than you. Awkward, otherwise.
3870	6170260	
3871	6170262	Did you sweep her off her feet? Or was it the other way around?
3872	6170263	
3873	6170280	I'm not telling you anything but this: There was no actual sweeping involved.
3874	6170281	
3875	6170283	Every little bit helps, elf.
3876	6136725	
3877	6136726	
3878	6164685	I shit you not, Rivaini, it was <emp>this big.</emp>
3879	6164686	
3880	6164688	There's no way. Impossible! I've had hundreds of those in my hands, and they're never that size.
3881	6164689	
3882	6164691	Would I lie about something so critical?
3883	6164692	
3884	6164694	I can't stand it anymore—what are you two talking about?
3885	6164695	
3886	6164697	I'm afraid to ask, but... what are you two going on about?
3887	6164698	
3888	6164700	What is wrong with you two? Can't you ever have a conversation that isn't dirty?
3889	6164701	
3890	6164703	What are you talking about?
3891	6164704	
3892	6164706	We're discussing knives, of course. Well, daggers, technically. I never remember the difference.
3893	6164707	
3894	6164709	Why? What'd you think we were talking about?
3895	6136729	You know, Rivaini, you promised me you'd tell me how your ship wrecked.
3896	6170000	
3897	6170002	I was drunk. I thought the reefs around the Wounded Coast were made of candy.
3898	6170003	
3899	6170005	Oh, come on.
3900	6170006	
3901	6170008	And a demon told me to do it. It bet me sixty sovereigns and a bottle of port.
3902	6170009	
3903	6170011	You're not the only one here who can bullshit, you know.
3904	6136730	Were you listening to that guy in the Hanged Man last night?
3905	6170413	
3906	6170415	"Your eyes are like bumblebees, flying into the window of my soul." <desc>Laughs</desc>
3907	6170416	
3908	6170418	My favorite was, "Your lips are like the wings of sparrows. Red ones. With no feathers."
3909	6170419	
3910	6170421	"Oh, speak! And send the plucked wings of your lips soaring!"
3911	6170435	
3912	6170437	I'd buy the guy a drink, but I don't think he needs one.
3913	6136732	You have got to tell me what was in that box, Rivaini.
3914	6170480	
3915	6170482	Which box? I've opened so many...
3916	6170483	
3917	6170485	Well, those too. But later. Right now: that Qunari relic.
3918	6170486	
3919	6170488	I'll make you a deal: I'll tell you what was in that box if you tell me how Bianca got her name.
3920	6170489	
3921	6170491	Fine, forget I asked. Evil woman.
3922	6136731	So... Hawke and Daisy?
3923	6170461	
3924	6170463	I think they're darling together.
3925	6170464	
3926	6170466	Really? You're not at all jealous? Because I thought that you and Hawke...
3927	6170467	
3928	6170469	Hawke was just a dalliance. You know I've still got my eye on you.
3929	6170470	
3930	6170472	Keep dreaming, Rivaini.
3931	6170473	It's almost too adorable. Well, except for the evil blood magic thing.
3932	6170474	
3933	6170476	The most evil thing Merrill does most days is pick the flowers out of other people's gardens.
3934	6170477	
3935	6170479	I know. I have to bribe most of the gardeners in Hightown to keep it quiet.
3936	6136733	Just curious, does any of this make sense to you?
3937	6168768	
3938	6168770	What, this whole, "everyone's waiting for the world to come to an end" thing?
3939	6168771	
3940	6168773	That, yes.
3941	6168774	
3942	6168776	Not remotely.
3943	6168777	
3944	6168779	Good. It's not just me, then.
3945	6136734	
3946	6136735	
3947	6136737	Thank you very much for the help earlier, Varric! 
3948	6170496	
3949	6170498	You made it back to the alienage in one piece, then?
3950	6170499	
3951	6170501	I don't know how I wound up in Darktown. There are just too many corners in Kirkwall.
3952	6170502	
3953	6170504	Still got that ball of twine?
3954	6170505	
3955	6170507	I left it at my house. Don't worry! I won't get lost while we're following Hawke.
3956	6170508	
3957	6170510	Bring it next time, Daisy. Just in case.
3958	6136738	Daisy, for my sake, please quit cutting through the alleys in Lowtown alone at night.
3959	6170697	
3960	6170699	Nothing ever happens. I'm perfectly safe, Varric.
3961	6170700	
3962	6170702	Yes, I know. And that nothing is costing me a fortune.
3963	6136739	So, I hear you've been visiting the viscount's gardens, Daisy.
3964	6170703	
3965	6170705	They're enormous! And they're always empty. Why don't more people go to see them?
3966	6170706	
3967	6170708	Probably because they're private and surrounded by guards.
3968	6170709	
3969	6170711	I <attrib>thought</attrib> all those men looked a bit cross.
3970	6136740	Why a mirror?
3971	6170722	
3972	6170724	I don't understand the question.
3973	6170725	
3974	6170727	If your people were going to make a magical whatever for talking to each other, why choose a mirror?
3975	6170728	
3976	6170730	Do elves spend a lot of time talking to their own reflections?
3977	6170731	
3978	6170733	I suppose the ancient elves would have felt silly talking to a wardrobe or an urn.
3979	6136741	You should have this back.
3980	6170747	
3981	6170749	Twine? When did I loan you a ball of twine?
3982	6170750	
3983	6170752	You gave it to me when I first moved here when I kept getting lost in Lowtown.
3984	6170753	
3985	6170755	It drove the merchants in the market completely batty, but it did help me find my way.
3986	6170756	
3987	6170758	Keep it, Daisy.
3988	6170759	
3989	6170761	I don't think I'll be getting lost again anytime soon.
3990	6170762	
3991	6170764	You never know. Might need to tie a package up, hang a lantern, dress a roast chicken. It's multipurpose.
3992	6136742	How do you do it, living in this city without picking a side? Doesn't it matter to you?
3993	6170769	
3994	6170771	Of course it does. That's why I don't take sides.
3995	6170772	
3996	6170774	That doesn't make any sense.
3997	6170775	
3998	6170777	I've got you and Aveline, Fenris and Anders. Hawke. Isabela.
3999	6170778	
4000	6170780	I've got friends in the Circle and drinking buddies in the templars. All of them matter.
4001	6170781	
4002	6170783	But you're going to fight. If it comes to that, I mean.
4003	6170784	
4004	6170786	I fought my own brother, Daisy. Nobody said this was going to be a happy story.
4005	6167874	
4006	6167875	
4007	6167877	So, Choir Boy, this usurper of yours is... twenty feet tall?
4008	6170111	
4009	6170113	Not even close, no.
4010	6170114	
4011	6170116	But he has claws for hands, right?
4012	6170117	
4013	6170119	Fingers. Perfectly normal ones. If a little fat, perhaps.
4014	6170120	
4015	6170122	He eats babies, though. And farts fire.
4016	6170123	
4017	6170125	You're not serious, I hope.
4018	6170126	
4019	6170128	You can't even pretend to be interesting, can you?
4020	6167878	Tell us about Starkhaven, Choir Boy. I'm sure we're all burning with curiosity about your far-away land.
4021	6170144	
4022	6170146	"My far-away land"? It's inland Free Marches, not on the moon.
4023	6170147	
4024	6170149	And here I was hoping...
4025	6170150	
4026	6170152	It's a lot like here. But fewer dead people.
4027	6173275	
4028	6173277	Well, you don't have Hawke.
4029	6167879	I've heard rumors about Starkhaven, you know.
4030	6170284	
4031	6170286	They say you eat the dead up there. And murder strangers in the street.
4032	6170287	
4033	6170289	Why do I suspect that when you say you've "heard" rumors, you mean you've <emp>invented</emp> some?
4034	6170290	
4035	6170292	Six of one, half-dozen of another.
4036	6167880	You know, Choir Boy, I wouldn't normally say this, but—the shiny white armor? It works for you.
4037	6170422	
4038	6170424	That's uncharacteristically kind of you, Varric.
4039	6170425	
4040	6170427	Makes you look like a lacquered pilot whale.
4041	6170428	
4042	6170430	Ah, now that was much more in-character.
4043	6136262	
4044	6136263	
4045	6136265	
4046	6136266
