[The feed kicks on to Nilin looking a little weary. Her day thus far hasn't been a good one and it's starting to show.]

Can anyone tell me where in this place I can get a drink? A good drink, mind you. The last bar I found tried to serve me something resembling dishwater.

[And it tasted what she imagines dishwater would taste like, too. There's a pause, and with a light sigh, Nilin speaks again.]

And, to the anonymous voice who spoke up when I first arrived. I'm listening.

[This time, she'll cooperate.]

Generally, yes. Though in my experience there's generally some gain to come from it.

Mine too. It's usually a headache, or dagger in the back.

[Or an evil demon tries to possess your friend but that's kind of hard to explain.]

[She leans a little, feigning a glance at his back.]

You might want to check again.

[Okay no, there's no knife in his back, but there's a dog in the room looking their way.]

[Hawke cocks an eyebrow at her, turns his head, and then chuckles. Notch barks in greeting, wagging his tail.]

Maybe I should start paying you to watch it for me.
