on his mun and her hijinks

[kouros]

Stop plotting things with that friend of yours with Hermes and Eros in her head. And the one with Aphrodite. And the one with Dionysus. Your plots always end poorly for me, and when they end poorly for me I get annoyed.

You don't like me when I'm annoyed.

[hawkethis]

You mean you can be anything other than annoyed?

[kouros]

..I am so glad that you and Hermes can never meet. Yes, Marian, I can be things other than annoyed.

[hawkethis]

And you can stop calling me that any day now, your Grace.

[kouros]

There's at least one other Hawke on the ship. Calling you by your names prevent confusion.

[hawkethis]

I thought you were a god, it can't be that confusing! We even call each other Hawke.

[kouros]

Are you telling me that if I made a request of just "Hawke", both of you wouldn't respond?

[hawkethis]

Yes. Yes, I am. [It's probably not a strictly true assessment, but is having to clarify which Hawke really such a travesty?]

[kouros]

...you do realize that as the god of truth, I can tell even a half-lie from the truth?

[hawkethis]

Well, isn't that fantastic. [Yes, she's pouting in a huff. Gee, doesn't that sound familiar?]

[kouros]

[Amused]

But please, try to lie to or around me. It's entertaining.

[hawkethis]

How about you quit with the first names, and I'll stop with some of the stupid epithets?

[kouros]

I don't often use nicknames.

[hawkethis]

It's a surname, not a nickname.

[kouros]

It's not your given name. It's a nickname.

[hawkethis]

And if I happen to prefer my father's name? [If she knew better, she might ask him about the "So-and-so, son of Some-Other-Guy" thing that Greek writers seem so fond of, but she's nowhere near that inimate with how that works for him back home.]

[kouros]

Marian Hawke, daughter of Malcolm Hawke is a bit of a mouthful.

Aaaand don't mind me...

[ivorywings]

Why not take a leaf from the Norse Pantheon's book? I believe they have a charming custom of affixing one's gender to their father's name for offspring.

Though I'm led to believe that's so they could tell them apart. [What do you mean suggesting a Greek god follow the customs of a Norse god is offensive?]

[kouros]

[He just gives Kalael a Look]

Do I look Nordic?

[hawkethis]

I'm not asking for a title, your highness. I have one already anyway.

[kouros]

Hero of Kirkwall, isn't it?

[hawkethis]

Champion, actually. "Hero" is apparently exclusive to Grey Wardens.

[kouros]

Not much difference, is there?
