[A suppressed laugh.]
It sounds tempting. Get out of impressing nobles with my civilized Dalish graces. But this is important, and...you'd make it a lot less terrifying, somehow. Please?

I'm—I mean, sure. Of course. But you do realize this is Alistair, right? You didn't mean to get in touch with someone who's known for tact and not on half the Inquisition's bad sides? I guess I might make you look more graceful by comparison, so there is that, but that's—that's cold, Pel, honestly, to use me that way.
I...
[This already makes her nervous enough. Now she can't tell if he's joking or not.]
That's not true. You're charming and kind. You make people laugh, and not at you. You make things lighter. A lot of people really need that.

Alistair, on my first attempt at politics I called someone a bitch. If I can bounce back from that, you'll be fine. And if you find it all too overwhelming, we can find a quiet place and rant about stupid nobles over cake together. I know I'll want to.
Just relax. You'll be fine.

Oh, I'm relaxed. Maybe too relaxed. Maybe that's the problem. Perks of being human and untouchable include not actually caring what any of them think. But I am apologizing in advance to you, in case I make things worse for you when you want me there to make them better.
You won't make them worse. Maybe seeing you with me will even make them realize I'm a guest before they try to order drinks from me. But thank you. It means a lot.
There's really not. We were captured and thrown in a cell in Fort Drakon, stripped of our weapon and armor, and so on and so forth. We argued for a while about whether or not one of us should try to seduce the guard. Then our friends came and rescued us—in disguises—and we killed some people on the way out.
With our clothes back on. That's important.

Ah, yes. I see. Very simple, from the start to the finish, yes? With the clothes on.
Of course, to seduce the guard, this would have been a sort of disguise as well, yes? So you did not have the disguise. Indeed, you had the nothing. But you were prepared for the disguise of seduction. This is also important.

I have a question. Is your Warden Camp specifically for Wardens, or can other people come, if they bring their own tent and everything...?
Velanna doesn't. She's shorter than I am.
[ Checkmate!!! ]

She's--She's another Warden--?
[ She sounds a bit baffled. Is this a joke?? Is Alistair messing with her? Is it possible him and Velanna never met somehow???? Should she introduce the two of them?????? ]

If I climb on top of you, I'll be taller than your shoulders.

Maybe I'll go ride on someone else's shoulders. I've seen other tall people in the Wardens.
[ Not that she knows any of them. Except Anders. But, uh. Anders. ]
