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.
In my limited experience with Orlesians nobles, they're always laughing at you.
I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into. I'm only nice to you because I like you. I can't make promises for them. I'll try, obviously, but...
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.
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.

[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.
