I knew I’d get this thing on eventually. All it it needed was a few swift kicks to help it along.

[Hawke looks rather smug with himself right now. Despite the crash course given to him, of which he may have zoned out of once or twice, he understands this console about as much as he does magic. The fact he got it working on his own means a lot to him.]

Alright, from what I hear this place is in need of heroes and the like. So much so in fact that they’ve started kidnapping people right off the street. Now I don’t mean to criticize your emperor, but that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Generally it’s considered good manners to ask someone for help instead of just grabbing them by their short and curlies and just dragging them off somewhere.

[He wags his finger in a very ‘you should be ashamed of yourself’ manner.]

Maker, at least people in Kirkwall gave me the illusion of choice before asking me to do something stupid and dangerous. They usually pay me too.

[When he sighs it’s utterly exaggerated.]

Oh well, no use in complaining I suppose.

[Of course that doesn’t mean he’s actually going to stop anytime soon.]

Since I’m here I may as well play along. Chances are this is all some kind of Fade...dream...thing, so what’s the worst that can happen? Besides the possibility of demonic possession.

Well, you're not likely to get hired on as a soldier around here since they don't want us in the kedan guards or police or whatever else they have. We're here for one purpose and they don't trust us that far.

[Wonder why?]

And the only locals who might have the resources to support someone as a soldier are the gangs and they're not all that fond of us. So you'll probably be able to get out of orders being screamed in your face. I can get you in touch with a friend of a friend if you want. Or, if you want something out of your usual line of business, I'm going to be hiring at my tavern. If you know how to sling drinks or cook or don't mind doing general upkeep, could get you set up.

There are gangs here? Suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Stupidity always makes its way across the world. Or turtles in this case.

Who's this friend of a friend and what are they after?

It's really not my place to say. If you're interested I can let them know and they can decide for themselves.

[She shrugs. She's not deep into things but she's not about to out a good friend to a stranger in the name of being helpful.]

Alright?

That certainly doesn't sound shady.

Alright let them know. I can't possibly get myself into a bigger mess than I have in the past anyway.

Well you know what you're getting into when you ask about black market things.

[She shrugs a bit.]

Not always no, hence calling it the 'black market', but work is work.

[Unless Hawke finds that they're dealing human lives, in which case he's going to have a problem with this.]

If you don't want anything in that line, there a lot of legal work you can find in the city too.

[She shrugs. What her friends deal with are mainly booze and smokes. If there are humans being bought and sold he won't be the only one having a problem.]

I worked as a smuggler for a year paying off my family's debt. Trust me, I can handle it.

Well, then I'll pass your name along, see if they could use another man or not.

[Grinning, she offers a little salute.]

Otherwise, welcome to Keeliai.

How couldn't they want a man like me?

[He flashes a handsome grin.]

Thanks. I could think of some better ways to arrive here, but it's not the worst I suppose.
