Eying thehometree, but...

[hallaherald]

I'm not quite certain why you're nervous, but I do understand being confused. I'm honestly not sure what is going on, either.

[That has been his life since he stepped out of the Fade with a lovely green mark on his hand. Endless confusion, demons and people lifting him up to some form of sainthood. Creators, he was bound to be forever making a grand fool of himself.]

...is the username supposed to reflect my heritage, refer to my looks or make a pun? All three? Well, congratulations.

It seems once again we're fumbling our way to our next destination, aren't we? Or well, you are. I rather think I'm gracefully gliding and avoiding most of the damage.

[hallaherald]

I wish I had your skill, Dorian.

[kaffas]

And here I was thinking you wished you had my hair or my good taste in fashion . Maybe both, and I would completely understand such envy.

[hallaherald]

Who says I can't envy all that as well? Though I am quite fond of my hair already... when it isn't full of blood and whatever else we were fighting.

[kaffas]

I will admit, I might just be a little fond of your hair, too, without the blood of course. Your talent of killing everyone we encounter does have one or two downsides it seems. Oh well, the Inquisitor can't be completely perfect, can he?

[hallaherald]

Creators, a compliment? I'm shocked.

You'd think we mages should be spared from such things, attacking at a range... but no, there's always blood somewhere.

[kaffas]

I can't hog all the compliments to myself, but it's tempting. Play your cards right and you'll receive some more.

Comes with the killing everything in sight thing I suppose. Luckily our dear Inquisitor isn't a blood mage. I think the South has had enough shock finding out or savior is a dalish elf who is also a mage.

I never get tired of their reaction, by the way. Especially when the Orlesians gasp and look like they might pass out; it reminds me of home just a little.

[hallaherald]

Oh dear... and I always lose at Wicked Grace.

I'm rather certain that if anyone wanted to pin blood magic on me, it would be rather easy considering how we look after a fight. [Shudder.] Now there's a lovely thought that I will need plenty of wine to get out of my head.

...ah, yes. Between the outright hostility and the lovely condescending looks, the swooning is my favorite part. Though 'rabbit' is my new favorite racist taunt. It's so adorable that I can't even be mad about it.

[kaffas]

And that's why we should play together more often.

Did you say wine? If you're looking for some company while drinking, I would be more than happy to oblige. Unless the wine you have is of Anders vintage, than we'll do much more talking than drinking.

Ah, yes. I've heard that term here in the South. At least you're taking it well. There are worse things to be compared to, and I don't even care for fluffy little creatures. At least rabbits have normal feet unlike nugs.

[hallaherald]

I do have a bottle collection to ravage. Surely there must be some decent wine in there? If not, I'll have to have a serious talk with the quartermaster. If we can have fifty copies of 'Hard in Hightown', we can have decent wine.

It's much better than knife-ear; that slur never made any sense to me.

[kaffas]

We do have some decent wine now, better than anything we had at Haven, but let's just say I'm well known by the quartermaster via Josephine. Still, let's see if the stuff you have is better than what's in the cellar. You know, for quality insurance. The Inquisitor only deserves the best after all.

Usually those types of words are thought up by cretins, so making sense isn't exactly a top priority.

[hallaherald]

Quality insurance. I like the sound of that, I should use it more often.

...ah, yes. Of course. I simply hate the wasted chance of being called decent slurs.

[kaffas]

I might have to charge a royalty fee if you're going to be using my excuses. Which is fine by me, as I'll charge in wine and candied dates.

Creative insults are much more harder to come by these days. Slurs, on the other hand, are doomed at creation due to their origin source; you can't make something good out of a pile of shit by reshaping it.

[hallaherald]

Oh dear, I'll have to pay you in wine to get more wine? At least I'll never have to drink alone, then. I'll add some candied dates since I'm a benevolent ruler.

That is a perfect description, Dorian. You should be a poet.

[kaffas]

I think it's a rather fair deal, and my company is well worth it.

A poet? [ he laughs. ] Well, I suppose I do have a thing for the dramatic.

[hallaherald]

I believe it's quite an agreeable deal!

[kaffas]

If I knew how much you enjoyed my company, maybe I should have made this deal earlier.

After all, I can't say I'm the one who gets shortchanged in this exchange. In fact, I think I am the one getting the better deal.

[hallaherald]

You'd be surprised how starved I am for social interaction that does not include judging people, meeting with nobles, surveying the war table or just murdering red templars.

A good chat and good wine would be a blessing, especially with a good friend.
