Any particular reason why?

[x_autnihil]

Why wouldn't I? Man, if capable enough, is the master of his own destiny. If I want to do something I must first understand it.

[restoringpeace]

[Can't argue there.] What is it that you truly want to do?

[x_autnihil]

*pauses very, very briefly*

What is it that you want?

(from here)

A skill I have never learned. A slave is to be silent; an elf, free or not, likewise. Had Hawke brought me to one of the parties to which she was often invited, I'd have been mistaken for a servant, or tossed out the door.

The back door. One does not dispose of rubbish in the main street.

[x_autnihil]

Well, this is as good an opportunity as any to learn. But I see your point and understand your frustration.

[fistingthing]

It feels unnatural to be here. I despise it.

[Whether he means that he despises being here or the feeling like he doesn't belong . . . therein lies the question.]

[x_autnihil]

Then what was it that compelled you to attend?

[hawkwardmoment]

What can I say? I prefer to look on the bright side.

[x_autnihil]

Perhaps the best path to take for one trapped in a place such as this.

[hawkwardmoment]

It certainly beats moping about.

[x_autnihil]

I am fairly certain that those who complain the most also attract the most attention to themselves. Moping about, as you put it, is a fast way to encourage more unpleasantness from this place.
