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.

I'm beginning to see that.

And you haven't been here long enough to see there's very little in the way of excitement. Promise of war and fighting and still nothing has happened.

I'm so sorry you haven't been able to kill anything lately.

[Sorry Dinin, Hawke loves an adventure probably more than he should but killing people doesn't give him his jollies. Well, not all the time anyway. It's just an unfortunate side effect of his job.]

If I get bored I'll start finding my own excitement.

[Who said he hadn't? There's probably a kedan family still in mourning out there. And a few beaten up for funsies obviously.]

I make do.

[But you're a human so, you know he already knows humans have compassion and are far too reserved. Don't worry, it's not like he'll judge very much. He doesn't expect Hawke to understand.]

Good luck with that. [Because even the brothels here aren't as good.]

[Just like that Hawke goes on edge. That doesn't sound good at all. This elf is more than just unfriendly He doubts it's just for show either.]

Right.

[Hawke is going to remember this one, and he'll be watching.]

I'd wish you luck in being creepy but you seem to have that down perfectly well.

[It's anything but for show. Hawke also wouldn't be the first to be watching him, a Champion, a God and an Emperor, now isn't he a popular little Drow.]

Creepy. Now how did you come to that conclusion?

[How couldn't he be with such an attractive personality?]

Let's just call it a gut feeling, and I haven't quite settled on whether you're an actual lunatic or not. For now creepy will just have to do.

I'd be careful with what it is you come to settle on.

[He's insulted. Really.]

I've never had to before and I can't see any reason why I should be now.

I'd be more than happy to give you a reason.

[Hawke lifts an eyebrow and smirks at the threat, giving Dinin a very condescending look.]

Oh yes I've never heard that line before.

[And Dinin grins.]

And you've never met a Drow before. I don't waste my time making threats I won't carry out.

[Hawke appears wholly unconcerned.]

This might be a record. I've been here less than an hour and already someone thinks they can kill me.
