[Hawke doesn't like these consoles. In fact he doesn't much like anything more technologically advanced than say, a crossbow. Unfortunately this city is full of gadgets and gizmos he doesn't understand. Nilin helped show him just how vastly out of his league he is when it comes to such things. If he's going to be here for the long haul though, he needs to adapt. To adapt, he'll need some help.]

So who here has any know-how with these console things? I'm tired of barely knowing what I'm doing with this thing. There's already enough things in this city that make me feel stupid. I don't need one more.

[And after a certain encounter he doesn't trust his fellow Foreigners as much as he once did. Plus it might be helpful to know these things when you're in the smuggling business.]

And does anyone know anything about mind control? More specifically on how to stop it?

[If that summoner is the least bit competent he'll be able to piece this together easily. The thought doesn't bother Hawke. Let him think Hawke is scared, but he doesn't make the mistake of underestimating people. One of the reasons he comes out alive after all his battles.]

Your initial message was kind of a giveaway, but I generally try to approach these sorts of subjects with at least a little tact.

[Personal experience with the matter at hand can do that to a person, but that's neither here nor there.]

And here I thought I was being so subtle too.

[His tone makes it clear he's not serious.]

It's something that might cause a problem in the future. I want to keep it from becoming a problem.

[Forgive him if he's not in a joking mood, although his expression remains neutral and controlled.]

A problem for just you, or a problem for other people too?

[That's okay he's forgiven.]

Has there ever been a problem here that's for just one of us?

That's what concerns me. It's certainly understandable if you'd rather avoid public channels, but I hope you don't intend to keep the source of this problem to yourself.

If I knew their name or even who it was I wouldn't be turning this into a puzzle. I have to deal with that enough already without doing it to everyone else.
