Collateral. There we go.

[ He eyes Byerly for a moment—a search for impatience or skepticism. Though it’d be hard to tell, wouldn’t it? The man has one of those faces.

But Alistair’s been talking an awful lot. ]


What do you think? A bad time to bring it up?

[ At just how little of a threat, Alistair interjects with a cheerful, ]

Ouch.

[ Accurate, though.

Alistair nods at the question—yes, all political, nothing to resent—then slows his nod down and grimaces a little. ]


Weeeell. Not the nose, but I did want her father executed. I might have had a little tantrum when he wasn’t. I don’t think she liked that.

Me and Loghain? Sure. Best friends.

[ If the measure of best friendship is choosing not to bludgeoning someone while their back is turned, despite ample opportunity, but still being happy to share their secrets, like: ]

He had a thing for Maric Theirin, you know.

Oh, yes.

Apparently. I know when I fancy someone I think is gone forever, the first thing I do is leave their son for dead on a battlefield.

[ Quite a staid opinion, for an erstwhile Sexy Corypheus. Alistair raises his eyebrows at it, but not to disagree—mostly because it's none of his business. The whole premise of this conversation and the promises he'd make to be able to go home are that it's none of his business. ]

I don't know. We could form a council. Start writing letters to advise everyone on who is and isn't the worst. If we have a fancy seal, people will listen to us.

Between the two of us, I think we could manage.

[ About the bottle, he thinks, ooh, grown-up drinks, but says nothing, because he is nearing forty. ]

A fancy seal, I mean. Wit might be beyond us, but a dwarf showed me how to draw a really fun S.

[ While he leans forward to steal his glass, Alistair is mouthing the spelling of Byerly's name—or a spelling of Byerly's name, B-I-E-R-L-E-I-G-H. He doesn't bother with his surname before he shakes his head. ]

The seal would say Unwanted Sons, [ with a half-circle gesture, where it'd be written across the top of something round, and then a half-circle for the bottom, ] of Ferelden. And in the middle we could have a sad-looking dog or something.

[ The clack-clack of dog nails makes Alistair lean sideways in his chair to see her better, smile rounding into a silent aww at the emergence of her droopy face. He hasn't yet righted himself and stopped watching her when he answers. ]

Small potatoes are great. The little ones you can eat like grapes? Amazing.

[ He takes a drink. ]

And then, uh...

[ Who does he dislike. Loghain? Already discussed. Nathaniel Howe? Brother in arms, bad form to bad-mouth to an outsider. Morrigan? Good mother to a child who is technically his son. ]

Maker. Everyone keeps winning me over. The ferryman first, and then there was a tavern keeper once who spit in my drink right in front of me. Five years ago. I didn't get a name. But I can track him down.

[ Alistair scratches her chin while he shrugs. ]

Someone said the Wardens took his favorite horse. We probably did. So—alright, he isn't the worst, either. Looks like we're picking exclusively on the ferryman. Does he dislike Fereldans, or just you?
