It seems there's a new arrival from Kirkwall floating about.

If anyone happens to see an elf with white hair and too many tattoos, please, ask him if his feet have frozen off yet. Or, if you're not feeling particularly inclined to do so... you could always tell him "Denarius says hello".

He'll appreciate it.

[This is a lie.]

[But, since Fenris

Subtlety isn't your forte, I am afraid.

[3wayforjustice]

Fortunately, it doesn't need to be, in this case.

audio

[sacredbrand]

And what is keeping your target from seeing this?

audio

[3wayforjustice]

Simple.

It's text.

[Get it, Nel?]

[sacredbrand]

I take it you're playing on his inability to either see or read. If that's the case, I must warn you that it's a simple matter to transcribe text into something a little more. . . verbose.

[3wayforjustice]

If I said which, he might very well find out.

... I'm counting on the fact that I doubt he's figured that much out just yet.

audio

[sacredbrand]

Would it frighten you to know that all it takes is a touch to the letters?

audio

[3wayforjustice]

...

Honestly? No. That would... just be my luck.

audio

[sacredbrand]

I would offer my condolences if you hadn't brought it on yourself.

[3wayforjustice]

He may not even end up looking at the book. It isn't as if he has a reason to.

audio

[sacredbrand]

Always a possibility.

[Nel sounds awfully amicable, keeping any hint of dubiousness disguised under a layer of blasé disinterest.]

audio

[3wayforjustice]

And, it's always possible someone will decide to play along. Everyone wins.

[Except Fenris.]

[sacredbrand]

Would this man be dangerous, by any chance?

[Tattoos aren't an indicator of dangerousness. I mean, look at Nel, she's covered in them and-- oh wait.]

audio

[3wayforjustice]

... Yes. To any mage, he's a great danger.

Unless Hawke manages to keep him leashed tightly enough.

audio

[sacredbrand]

What do you think would happen if a mage, as you say, were to follow your advice?

[There's a point she's getting to, somewhere.]

audio

[3wayforjustice]

[Honestly, there's one he wishes would, if only to see Fenris rip her heart out.]

Hopefully... he'll stalk off snarling before the topic of magic even comes up.
