“Here to take over? Thank the Maker. Watch duty, right? Bo-ring. Well, sometimes we get attacked by darkspawn, I guess that’s something. Not that it happens much! You’ll probably be fine. That is--” He looked the apprentice over, frowning. “I guess I could stay on for this shift with you. Just to show you how it’s done. No need, it’s not that hard? Wrong. There’s more nuance than you think. And a trick to standing still for hours on end without getting sore. Trade secrets. You don’t want to miss out.”

“I think we’re going in circles. I swear I’ve seen that road marker at least three times today.”​

“A-hah! I know for a fact that’s not allowed.”

“Look, I know yesterday I said I was curious about Avvar tactics, and you didn’t say anything, but there was something of an understanding you had in fact heard me, and duly considered it, and decided to let me wonder forever, and that’s fine. There was nothing in that exchange to say you were going to rough me up before dawn! ...Did Morrigan put you up to it?”

“I’m about to sound woefully ignorant, here--which will happen, grievously and often--but I have to admit I’ve always wondered what life’s like in an Alienage. I’m not saying I think it’s some secret elfy clubhouse where you all roast chestnuts and braid one another’s hair--if it is, please tell me--but I imagine there’s a sort of enforced sense of community. Thinking about it, though, if you’ve lived there all your life, it’s not as though you have aught else to compare it to. Forget I said anything.”

“No, you bloody idiot.” She whacked him with the orb at the top of her staff. “You’re a Gray Warden. That’s what should matter most. Despite anything, you could be an elf and a mage. I think I’d rather be you than me right now.”

“Abuse, pure and simple, that’s all I get from you. Do I ever hear a “thank you for stumbling into that trap a ways back and sparing my delicate ankles, Alistair”, or a “Your cooking is just fine, Alistair”? No. No, I get thwacked upside the head. Keep it up, and you’re going to break that crystal--my skull’s a tough one.”

"Tis but a scratch? Looks more of a flesh wound, if you ask me."

"Whatever it looks like, it still hurts! So, while your commentary is endlessly entertaining, if you’re not going to help, at least spare me bleeding to death and listening to you? Thanks.”
