I think it's fascinating that of all the people we might assassinate for our convenience, that you've picked one of the few contacts we have inside Tevinter.
Hardly. Only that I've heard no suggestion to do away with Orlesian generals stonewalling the siege of Val Chevin or Antivans willing to trade with the North. Yet our most promising contact to this effort inside the Imperium is apparently disposable.
No one in the South will care if you kill some rabble rouser in Tevinter. Or maybe you would prefer the Imperial March find no inconveniently sympathetic force who might oppose being trampled on the way to Minrathous. Or you've got it on your head a Tevene rebel is the more likely double agent than the half dozen other prospects to hand.
I honestly don't really care what the reason is. But until you can provide me a better avenue into the Imperium, we keep this one.
Or maybe, dear Captain, I don't actually have any great interest in assassination, but am curious to hear how you react when I propose things. Maker, you're always so serious.
Respectable fellow though you are now, prominent, a leader of men, I think your heart is actually that of a scrappy little rebel. I bet you and Nikos Averesch would like each other if your personalities didn't clash so dreadfully, wouldn't you?
It remains news, I should say. That your heart is still thus, so many years into this war.
[ Well - ]
And don't pretend you go around singing this song, dear Captain. For all that your heart beats to the common man's drum, your tongue doesn't speak the common man's words.

And yet let's be quite honest. I could pass for a common fellow far more easily than you ever could.

So no message to be carried north, I take it.

I am Fereldan, you know. Slavery is as hateful to me as it is to you.
