8th Duel [Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Guess who finally showed up again? That's right! It's everyone's favorite beard and the face its attached to!]All things considered that wasn't the worst trip I've had into some dark, dank tunnels filled with monsters. At least this time no one went insane, well not permanently anyway

[See this? This is dwarf who has totally not been worried since Anders told him Hawke's been missing for weeks.]

So, the Champion returns. I hope it's a triumphant return.

Did you bring me back something shiny, at least? You know how us dwarves love shiny things.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Oh hi there hair buddy!]

If it isn't my favorite dwarf? Hope you've been keeping Kirkwall tidy while I've been gone.

Well now that you mention it I did find an old, musty book and I couldn't help but think of you when I took it.

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

[Varric could protest that Hawke hadn't been gone, but that hadn't worked so well with Blondie, so he'll just go with it.]

Cleaning up after other people is always my favorite past-time.

Aww. I'm touched.

... This isn't the kind of musty old book that's going to end up accidentally summoning up a demon who tries to eat us, is it?

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

[At least Anders didn't mean blowing up the Chantry to him.]

Really? I should start leaving Kirkwall's problems to you then.

Oh come on, that's only happened five or six times. What are the chances of it happening again?

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

But you're so much better at it than I am.

[You are not shoving that off on him, Hawke.]

Now that you've asked that? Almost certain.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

It's not that hard. Walk around town, chat up a few people, kill some monsters, you'll have it down in no time.

[Well there's always Aveline.]

Might as well open it now and get it over with then.

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

If I'm the one doing all that, who's left to commemorate it?

We could always let someone else open it first, and see what happens. From a nice, safe distance.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

You can have Isabela write it. Think of all the twists she can put into the story.

Not a bad idea. Where's Anders?

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

That would require willingly becoming the next subject of her friend fiction. I think I'll pass.

[Also, his twists are way better, Hawke. They don't involve 'and then suddenly - they were naked!' Well. Not all of them.]

It's absolutely not a bad idea to let Blondie and big blue poke at a potentially demon-ridden book before we do. He's around here somewhere.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

What makes you think you haven't already? She never could quite keep her eyes off that chest of yours.

Glad you agree. All we need to do is start having a good time and he'll show up soon enough to try and stop it.

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

What Rivaini and I have going is purely verbal, Hawke. And maybe a little bit physical. It hasn't gone literary. I'd know.

[Except now there's a small seed of doubt. Thanks for that.]

If we shine your armor up enough, you can pretend to be a templar.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

[Mission accomplished.]

And hide this face from the public? I couldn't do that to them.

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

I know it'll be difficult, but I'm sure they could manage. It's better than potentially forcing them to have to suffer without it forever after a demon eats it off.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

There hasn't been a demon that's succeeded in doing it yet. A few dragons may have gotten close but that's about it.

[Audio]

[sayhitobianca]

You never know, the demons here might be much more of the face-eating variety.

Let me know if want me to have Bianca on hand when you go poking.

[Audio]

[iwannabeadragon]

That's what I have you for. To keep my face right where it is.

What kind of friend would I be if didn't let you in on the fun? Anders is already on his way.
