On heading to Adstring.

[what_heroics]

So, a war-torn city on the brink of being torn apart by mad spirits, supernatural powers and petty disputes?

This sounds like fun.

Well, that's a lie... but it does sound enough like Kirkwall to be interesting.

Let me guess, it's also filled with ragtag, underdog misfits who somehow manage to make things even worse by interfering?

Am I getting warm?

[idkfusrodahdova]

There's worse out there.

[what_heroics]

Like, say, an invasion -- a blight, if you will, of ravening hellbeasts?

Or a really big dragon?

[idkfusrodahdova]

If any such thing happens then you need not worry.

[what_heroics]

I needn't? And why not?

[idkfusrodahdova]

If any dragons appear then so shall I.

[what_heroics]

How are you going to manage that?

[idkfusrodahdova]

I shall find a way. It's my job to slay dragons after all.

[what_heroics]

Really? How do I get into a field like that?

[idkfusrodahdova]

[He shrugged.] You see a dragon, you kill it. Or you are born as a dovahkiin, like me.

[what_heroics]

I think I can manage that first bit well enough.

Tell me a bit more about the second?

[idkfusrodahdova]

The Dovahkiin is also known as the Dragonborn. A person who was born with the blood and soul of a dragon and the only one who can truely make certain that a dragon stays dead by taking in it's very soul. Thereby granting him or her the power of that dragon and allowing the Dovahkiin to learn their language almost instantly.

[what_heroics]

You wouldn't, by any chance, be able to turn into a dragon, would you?

[idkfusrodahdova]

No, though I am able to call upon dragons for help as well as use the power of their thu'um.

[epicchesthair]

So, same as usual then, Hawke? You do like to keep busy, don't you.

[what_heroics]

Varric! Don't tell me I'm the only one having fun. What have you been up to?

[epicchesthair]

Oh, a bit of this, a bit of that. I'd give you details, but then you'd be an accomplice. Wouldn't want to tarnish your heroic image.

[what_heroics]

[She'll play up the pout.]

I wonder when being a "hero" started to mean "no fun allowed".

[epicchesthair]

When you became Champion and had to get all respectable, of course. People here look up to you, Hawke. You don't want to sully that shiny reputation, do you? After I've worked so hard to build it up for you?

[what_heroics]

Maybe just a little.

[epicchesthair]

What, life as a noble boring you? Not enough demon pirates or blood mages or street gangs with names so unbelievable even I would hesitate to use them chasing you around?

[what_heroics]

If I stayed home and did nothing, it would be just as likely that that would be the day I'd discover the nest of gigantic undead spiders in the cellar.

[epicchesthair]

See Hawke, this is why I spend time with you. You're never, ever boring.

[what_heroics]

And here I thought it was for the delightful banter and my ravishing good looks.

[... and yep. There's the eyebrow waggle.]

[epicchesthair]

Stop trying to tempt me, Hawke. You know there's only room in my heart for one crossbow.

[Totally immune to the eyebrow waggle, but grinning]

[what_heroics]

[That's precisely why she does it. She gives an airy sigh.]

Thwarted by Bianca again.
