Reserved at a game! ...That Sten already hates. /SIGH

[sten]

You are sending me to... a bathhouse? [There is a long pause while Sten gives his mun a frighteningly unhappy stare.] What is the purpose of this place? Are we required to constantly bathe?

Parshaara.

Again, you waste my time with meaningless things.

[kobatonotdobato]

It's purpose is to help those who need it~!

[sten]

...With bathing?

[kobatonotdobato]

Maybe, I don't know what the people in the bathhouse part do. I just clean it afterwards. Maybe they join them.

[sten]

You work there and yet you do not know its function.

[It's not a question. He is both annoyed and disappointed.]

[kobatonotdobato]

I-I know what jobs I am meant to do?! Just... not the others.

[sten]

Another human riddled with ignorance. Somehow, I am not surprised.

[kobatonotdobato]

I'm sorry. I'm still getting use to this place.

[sten]

Adapt quickly, then.

[kobatonotdobato]

I'll try!

[sten]

No. You do or do not. There is no "try".

[kobatonotdobato]

Then why is there a word try?

[broods]

It is never enough for them.

[sten]

So it would seem. If she believes I will stand idly by while she plots these things, she is sorely mistaken.

[broods]

How do you plan on stopping her, exactly?

[sten]

Muns appear to be dependent on whether or not we speak to them. I will simply stop speaking.

[broods]

Will that stop her sending you to this place?

[barebacking]

Oh, do try to have fun...

[sten]

Hmph. Not likely.

[barebacking]

And why is that?

[sten]

[He glowers in a way that pretty much oozes the words: "I don't do fun."]

There is no point.

[barebacking]

Of course, there is a point, my handsome friend.

[sten]

"Fun" is an unstable thing. Too many waste their energy on it when it would be better spent on meaningful things.

[barebacking]

Like?

[sten]

Duty.

[barebacking]

Ah, duty.

Yes, that is always meaningful. I do know the joys of being duty-bound...

[canandhave]

Perhaps you could find meaning even there.

[sten]

Doubtful. I am a warrior, not a... [--Sigh. He still doesn't understand the purpose of this place.] I will be without my mission. [And Asala, to boot.] She is taking away who I am.

[canandhave]

If a warrior is who you are, then perhaps you can still be a warrior there. You'd have to be able to, wouldn't you?

[magerights]

Well so long as you stay away from me and other mages, I don't care where you end up.

[Because clearly Sten is running around enslaving mages left and right in his spare time.]

[sten]

It would be too good to be true if I were to be in a place where magic did not exist.

[Totally. This leash is to a Saarebas and definitely not Dog. Nope.]

[magerights]

Maybe you can take the rest of the Qunari with you and let your mages live in peace, then? Thedas would be better off without you horn heads around.

[hopsborders]

I think your mundane's implying something there.
