video - one.

When my mother told me tales of magical creatures and monsters under the bed when I was a child I always thought they were just stories to teach me a lesson - you know, 'don't sleep under the bed with the dog, Marian, the monsters will get you'! I didn't think they were real, I thought she meant fleas.

[ She's lifting her shoulder, now, almost a shrug, even as she's grinning. Humour is her forte, her defence, and waking up in a place where she has to fight another war for people she barely knows, other than as a whole, as stereotypes. It's not that she minds fighting, of course, as that's what she does for a living, but she likes having a definite reason to fight. Someone was murdered, a child was kidnapped, mages were being tortured, elves enslaved - that sort of thing. She needs a little more than 'she's special'.

Because, in her mind, she isn't. ]


But here we are and here they are. We're here to help, right? ... Unless this has something to do with the looters in the Wounded Coast or that Qunari patrol, in which case... I didn't do it? Really, I promise it was an accident. Honest.

[ The little smile on her face is proof enough that it obviously wasn't an accident - but she continues, crossing her arms over her chest. Jokes and humour are all well and good, of course, but she does have a point. ]

If you've seen a dwarf without a beard, tell me. Or a scary glowing elf. Actually, if you see scary glowing anything you should definitely let me know. I'll take care of them.

[ Iceland purses his lips. Okay, new approach, this is getting nowhere. ]

Where are you from, then? Siberia, or something...?

[ Because you're that intense and intimidating, Hawke. ]

[ He hesitates for a second. Hm. What odd-sounding places. ]

Are you one of those people who dress up and pretend to be elves?
volcanic: (one tempo behind)

[ He could answer this Truthfully, but thankfully he doesn't take the bait. He still sounds a little unsure, though. ]

No?

So you really do live in some kind of fantasy novel? [ Still skeptical... ]

...I don't believe this. [ He's getting exasperated by this point. ]

There's a lot of things you don't understand. [ Not really an appropriate comment, given their situation, but oh well. Too late. ]

First aliens, now this...

Yeah, you too-- [ Wait. ] Er, nice to meet you too, I mean.
volcanic: (huh)

Is that... good? [ He honestly has no idea which way to take that statement. A compliment? An insult? It is a mystery. ]
volcanic: (fever)

You wouldn't be telling me that if I was. Probably. I knew that...
