Hey, if you think you can take me on, give it your best shot. Far be it from me to question your abilities, Oh Wise One.

[Mun is pretty sure she's being mocked.]

Who, me? Whatever gives you that idea? I'd never mock a lady.

Comments

[justice_is_blond]

Just the ones that mock the Hanged Man?

[sweetestsong]

The Hanged Man is a different matter. You mess with the Hanged Man, you mess with all of Lowtown. Well, however much of it isn't drunk.

[justice_is_blond]

Or stalking in the shadows, waiting to waylay you? Fair enough. I've been, you've not got to persuade me.

It's... good to see you again, though.

[sweetestsong]

Aw, Blondie. I'm blushing.

[justice_is_blond]

And here I thought I'd never achieve that with you. So there's plans for you, then? Or not quite yet?

[sweetestsong]

Testing the waters, so far. This one never does seem to make plans, but if you've got a suggestion...

[justice_is_blond]

I happen to know a place where you'd be rather welcome. We've got Garrett Hawke, Isabela, Aveline, and unfortunately your favorite broody Elf, but I've spoken of you with a few people and they've got good impressions on top of that. There's even a pirate storyteller, Usopp, who'd be interested in swapping tales.

Things are a bit odd. Hawke's a rogue, not a warrior, we're stuck in a city surrounded by Mist that likes to mess with us, but mages are free and I really can't find myself disliking being stuck too much with that in mind. Some. There's still much to do, back home. But as far as places to be stuck go, scorched isn't the worst.

[sweetestsong]

We know it. You wouldn't by any chance remember a girl named Daenerys, would you? White hair, uptight about mages? I'm sharing a head with her.

[justice_is_blond]

I met her, briefly. ...I may also have fought with her on that specific topic. But the second time we spoke was better, if I remember right.

[sweetestsong]

She remembers the first better. You rattled her. [Varric is wise enough to have no opinion on the matter.] Making impressions everywhere you go, eh?

[justice_is_blond]

The people who buy into hatred and prejudices deserve to be rattled. They must think instead of going along with what they've been told. [A pause.] That is to say, yes. A few.

[sweetestsong]

[He's just gonna sit here and silently laugh at you while Daenerys freaks out because you are just so wrong about everything :|.]

[justice_is_blond]

I haven't pissed off everyone, you know. [Not the best defense ever, but it's all he's got.] I've made some friends.

[sweetestsong]

Uh huh. I'll buy that when I see it. [Well, he's mostly just messing with Anders. Varric likes him well enough, so it's clearly possible.]

[justice_is_blond]

Then come over and see. [He's used to the Dwarf's teasing, more or less, and he's missed it a bit.] I even haven't managed to piss of Aveline yet.

[birchcore]

What about those ladies who work at the Rose?

[ she smiles genially. ]

It's wonderful to see you again, Varric.

[alittlelion]

I'd be careful who you mock, they can make you do the most unpleasant things.

[sweetestsong]

Oh, I've heard the stories. Written a few of my own. Can't make them up.

[sweetestsong]

I don't mock them either! They charge double for that.

Good to see you too, Sunshine.

[sweetestsong]

Ha! Now I know you're lying.

[birchcore]

In that case, I shall also refrain from doing so.

How do you fare?

[sweetestsong]

I'm doing pretty good, for now. We'll see how that goes. How about yourself?

[justice_is_blond]

I swear by my kitten, Ser Furryous. Only you'll never know for sure if you don't drop by, and apps did just open tonight.

[birchcore]

The Gallows couldn't be further away, so I am doing quite well.

I've even been able to journey to some other places as my own sort of adventure. It's exciting!

[sweetestsong]

Ser Furryous. Of course.

I might check it out. Next month is more likely, if at all. [Stage whispering:] Commitment issues.
