nervously voice testing!

[proelior]

It's all well and good that you want to have fun, but we both know where I'd rather be.

[Sigh.]

Look, you can have your fun and games, but don't mess around. I don't want to give Varric more tall tales for his storybooks. He's already called me fat.

And I'd rather not be locked up by a psychotic demon worshiping twit intent on seeing just how many ways I can die, but my mun says I don't have much of a choice.

....Want a drink? Have one for me while you're at it.

[proelior]

At least you look pretty while you're doing it.

[ A smile. ]

I could use a drink. Or two. Company as well, but maybe that's asking too much.

[possessed_mage]

Company and a drink. I like the sound of that.

And yes, I suppose that's something. At least I haven't lost my looks. *wink*

[proelior]

Do you think people will whisper if we go to the Hanged Man? It gets boring after the first few times.

[ She laughs; small mercies. ]

It's always nice to have something good to look at, don't you think?

[possessed_mage]

I'm sure we could put on a good show for them if anyone gets bored. We're nothing if not inventive.

Oh, yes. There's nothing like a good view.

[proelior]

I don't suppose there's any need for secrecy now that I have no one left to protect.

[ She can't help looking him over before she crosses her arms. ]

I've always been fond of nice landscapes, beautiful rivers...

[possessed_mage]

*Anders looks her up and down, and licks a lip*

Ice tipped mountains, magnificent forests.....

[proelior]

The coastline in summer and the the sky in spring. That sort of thing.

[possessed_mage]

You're Estate has many spectacular tapestries.

*Was he the only one beginning to think the Hanged man was a bit too crowded for their tastes?*

[proelior]

It also has a marvellous library with a table just made for drinking and card games.

[ Evidently not. ]

[possessed_mage]

I always liked that table. Very sturdy. Magnificent view of some very nicely crafted books.

[proelior]

Nice and quiet, too. No one comes knocking when I'm locked away in the library.

[possessed_mage]

And it smells much better than the sewers. It has very good lighting. For viewing things.

[proelior]

It's warm, too, you know, with that big fireplace. Perfect for long nights.

[possessed_mage]

Not quite unlike the bedroom. Which also comes with a magnificient view, a wonderful fireplace. And Merrill tells me the bed is very sturdy and good for jumping.

[proelior]

Well, she would know, wouldn't she? She's tested it - it's very sturdy, with good workmanship.

[possessed_mage]

It could stand a couple more tests I think. She's very light, you know.

[epicchesthair]

Hawke, you've clearly forgotten: I lie a lot.

And any story involving humans is going to be a tall tale by definition. Can't help it!

[proelior]

I didn't forget - I just have to work out what's true and what's not. It's not just your fans that read your stories, you know.

[ She laughs a little. ]

Occupational hazard?

[epicchesthair]

Are you telling me you're not a fan? I'm hurt, Hawke. That gets me right here. [pats chest somewhere around the vicinity of the heart]

Every story needs a little embellishment.

[proelior]

Oh, I enjoy them well enough. It's just hard to appreciate the narrative when it's all so familiar.

[ She shakes her head; overdramatic as always. ]

Of course. It wouldn't be a true adventure otherwise, would it?

[epicchesthair]

So familiar? And here I thought you were accusing me of straying too far from the truth. Admit it, you're just embarassed to listen to stories about yourself. That's all right, the best heroes are modest.

[proelior]

Is a Champion allowed to be modest? I was unsure of the rules. But there is some truth to your stories, I cannot deny it.

[epicchesthair]

Pretty sure the Champion gets to make the rules. If you don't feel up to it, let me know and I'll whip you up a few.

[proelior]

[ She lifts her hands, laughing. ]

Oh no, I think that the Knight-Commander makes the rules now. I just take advantage of them.
