Oh? What is this you say? Shale is quite taken with the stoic Qunari? How fascinating!

I had not thought one such as a golem capable of... those sorts of feelings. But, ah! The things you learn, no?

... I must wonder... does the good Sten know of this?

Ah, I see the painted elf has a death wish. Allow me to oblige it.

Wishing happiness upon a stalwart member of our company counts as a death wish?

Making baseless accusations about me most certainly counts. I will not have it giving anyone false ideas.

Baseless, you say?

... and yet, you grace the good Qunari with a pronoun of all things. You cannot blame me for making such a connection.

I have done no such thing. [ Has she? She might have. ] Besides, what does it matter if I have addressed the Qunari by its name? Do you not all do the same?

Oh, ho, yes you have, you slippery stone minx.

You do not address the rest of us by name... I would think that is significant.

Perhaps the Qunari is simply the one who annoys me the least.

As you say.

[GRINNING.]

I do not like the look on its face. I am sorely tempted to remove it.

Perhaps you would like it better, if the handsome Sten were to wear it?

If he were to wear your face? No, no. Not at all, though I shall still enjoy removing it from its skull.

You would have to try very hard to catch 'it'.

The painted elf cannot run forever. I can.

The shy golem cannot climb trees. I can.

Ha! It seeks refuge in the trees. Let the birds have it, I say.

Perhaps you could summon the good Qunari to protect you from the feathered fiends.

Sten has difficulties determining if a woman can also be a fighter, let alone trying to factor in how a mage can be either.

[ More or less amused, especially seeing Shale up there. ]

Certainly doesn't appear that Shale agrees with your player's assessment of circumstances.

All the more reason to educate him, I should think.

[He chuckles.]

Ah, well. We have tried. What more can I say?

You realise it's much like Leliana getting him to admit he plays with kittens when he thinks no one's looking. He refuses to acknowledge anything he doesn't want to.

[ Besides, he was educated enough by the end of things. Sort of. Okay he wasn't trying to put her to death for being an uncontrolled mage and he respected that she -- and the rest -- could fight, right? That was something! ]

Plenty, I'm sure.

His refusal is, in its own way, something of an admittance, is it not?

[His grin gets downright devious.]

Oh, but of course. But some of it is not fit for delicate ears, such as our dear friend Shale's.

The more you object, the closer it is to being true? You may be on to something.

[ She quirks up an eyebrow. ]

I'm sure Shale's metaphorical ears will be burning if anyone other than Shale manages to be vaguely inappropriate. [ A pause. ] How Shale managed to survive the party all in camp at once, I'll never know.

I am frequently on to something.

Oh, I assume the golem was paying very little attention to anyone other than the object of said affections.

...The Warden should have killed you when the opportunity presented itself.

A Qunari and a...golem? Do golems even have feelings?

A friend and I were just wondering what the children of Qunari and dwarves would look like, but this is even harder to picture.

I need no such protection from the foul beasts. Not now that I am able to move. I shall crush each and every one of them.

A sound assessment. I see no reason why we cannot remedy that mistake.

Do not let the painted elf fill your head with lies. I certainly do not harbor such feelings as it implies.

Or up to something, if I remember right.

If anyone knows something about patience, Shale's probably learned and tossed it out the front door by now.

But then, what will we use for our arrows, if there are no more birds to gather feathers from?

Or both! Perhaps at the same time!

Ah... you make a good point.

What? You cannot take a bit of friendly teasing? Not at all?

Oh yes. This one, in fact, feels quite strongly regarding birds, for example.

I must admit, the idea is difficult for even myself to picture... but! They do say such things will find a way.
