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.

I... Yes.

[ Sorry he's still not sorry. How many people would he still happily burn? SO MANY.

The look makes him stop smiling, though, at least, and look away. ]

[ She breathes a deep sigh, shaking her head and lifting her hands. ]

You always know how to brighten the mood.

[ Hmph. ] Varric would have laughed.

Varric would laugh at one of us falling down the stairs. Do you really want that to be the height of your humour, Anders?

Height... stairs... Was that intentional?

Isn't my humour always intentional?

I don't know. Were you trying to be funny when you invited the Arishok to dance?

No, I was being quite serious. I thought he would be the only man in the world who wouldn't complain if I stepped on his toes.

They would be so lucky. Although—maybe not in those boots.

[ She puts a hand to her chest, feigning horror. ]

Are you insulting my fashion taste, mister mage hats?

I'd never. Your boots are as lovely as they are heavy and pointy.

That? That was a good answer.

[ She purses her lips. ]

I'll come find you when things are settled down here.

[ His smile wavers. If what they say is true—he'd rather Hawke not die on his account, all things considered. ]

We'll work something out, I'm sure. Keep in touch.

You too. Don't do anything stupid.
