pls more funny banter with Dirthamen and Solas

lmao what did prompt that, nonny? I haven't posted any banter in a while on here. But since you asked so nicely... 🤣

--------

(placed in Dirthamen's Inquisition-verse, where he takes on the alias "Souveri")

Souveri: So, you had a nice dream, I heard? Solas: I don't know, what you are talking about. Souveri: Oh, don't play innocent with me! Whisking her away to a romantic liaison in her dreams... I know how these things go. I've been dancing the dance, long before you even figured out how to walk. Solas: -sighs- Souveri: Still, you should not forget to properly court her in the waking world as well. No dream can compare to the comforting weight of a warm- Solas: We are not having this conversation! Souveri: -clicks his tongue- Tea, Da'Fen. I was suggesting, you invite her to a cup of tea. Whatever were you thinking about? Solas: -disgusted noise-

Banter meme // accepting // @theharellan

Orana: There are so many sigils here.Solas: Can you read them?Orana: I can try but it isn’t truly a written language the way common or tevene are.Solas: How so?Orana: You see this symbol? In Minrathous an elven skull like this with a snake in its eye, this is a symbol for a spy among the slaves. Here it could mean something completely different.Solas: Is there truly so much variation?Orana: Oh yes, it was always important to teach the sigils to new slaves entering the household.

Orana: It’s so odd, to be in a place where a magister was no different than a slave in the eyes of their keepers. They all died the same here.Solas: Is that a comfort?Orana: No...No, but it is something.Solas: Not the equality you desire, but perhaps the closest that those here ever felt.

Solas: This place reminds me of the Gallows in Kirkwall. You’ve seen them, haven’t you, Orana?Orana: I have...I believe I can see the stamp of the Imperium on both places.Solas: They’re both quite unsettling.Orana: Neither of them truly hold a candle to Tevinter itself.Solas: No, I would imagine not.

Companion Verse Banter // Cole

Cole: Your father is proud of you. Averill: Proud enough t’ hide in a barn while Ma locked me in a cupboard, yeah. Cole: No, not Oswin. Your Da. Averill: That’s not--Ya never met him, ya don’t know anythin’. Cole: No, but I can see his love for you, his pride. Averill: I--I can’t--Please don’t.

Cole: You like to stay in high places. Averill: Uh, yeah, guess I do climb lots of shit. Cole: It makes you feel secure, they can’t drag you back if they can’t reach you. Averill: Mmm, guess that’s a thing.

Cole: They were both scared until the other came along, they felt safe with each other. Averill: Ya talkin’ ‘bout Da again? Cole: The old tomcat is so soft, he was prickly at first but she gave him her last piece of jerky and he melted like butter. With a friend to hold the world is much less frigid. Averill: Cole. Cole: You didn’t mean to hurt him. Averill: Shut up. Shut up! Cole: I’m sorry that I upset you. Averill: Don’t--Just don’t talk about that. Talk about Da or my shitty parents or Kirkwall just don’t talk about that. Cole: He didn’t know what was happening, but he was glad that you were there when he slipped away. Averill: I said to fuckin’ stop. Cole: I--I thought it would help, to know that he wasn’t scared then. Averill: It doesn’t, it really fuckin’ doesn’t.

Averill: Listen, we’ve gotta work on yer conversational skills. Frankly, they’re shite. Cole: Varric and Solas say that I’m learning. Averill: Varric and Solas’re yer da’s so they won’t tell ya straight but marginally better isn’t tha’ much better when yer starting point’s rock bottom. Cole: You’re very good at climbing rocks. Averill: Mhmm, an’ I’m gonna teach ya t’ climb yerself out ‘f those holes yer always digging.

Not before she’s got a hefty swipe of sauce on her fingertip, which she cleans off with a loud smack of lips against her own skin and a pointedly triumphant glare. “Well, what’s the E.T.A.? Some people are starving over here.” It’s her. She means her.

Oh well, he supposes it can’t be helped. “I say another ten minutes. The soup still needs to thicken.” Ignis says, turning to the risotto on their makeshift stove. He’s trying a new recipe using Cleigne mollusk and succulent karlabos meat with Malmashrooms.
