He offers his arm to Blaze, after stowing her knives in his pack. "Then shall we?"

She links arms with him and nods.

Zevran leads the way down to the bridge, and joins the crowd.

Sten stays close, glaring at anyone who gets close to Blaze.

Once inside, they are pointed towards a set of stairs, which apparently lead to the 'visitor's seats'.

"Sounds promising," Zevran remarks as he mounts them. "I wonder what sort of spectator event we're being thrown into."

"It'll be interesting to find out," Blaze agrees.

Once they reach the top, they can see they're seated high above what looks like a colosseum. 

"Oh dear. I fear this may be blood sport."

Blaze isn't sure she's comfortable with that, but...

A small part of her is still curious.

"I suppose we've come this far. Let's see if my guess is correct?" He takes a seat at the bottom of the box.

Blaze hums and agreement, and sits next to him.

Sten remains standing at the doorway, glancing down occasionally. 

The announcer appears after a few moments, and welcomes everyone to "An Honour Proving."

He introduces two dwarves, apparently from noble houses, bids them to fight well for the Paragon's honour, and then-

"Ah, duels. A very romantic way of proving one's nobility. By stabbing other nobility."

"-That just seems silly."

"It is incredibly silly. Whoever loses will probably have the other assassinated in revenge. Why not just cut out the middle man and assassinate him to begin with?"

"-That's far sillier than I thought it was."

Zevran points at the battle. "It's things like this that make it so hard to find worthy assassination missions. Most are petty revenge like this. Terrible."

Blaze shakes her head in mute amazement.

"Speechless. How you feel for the plight of my kind moves me, Blaze."

She hestitates, and then sticks her tongue out at him.

He does so right back.

Sten rolls his eyes.

This is good, and warm, and Blaze hopes she can have more days like this.

Zevran smiles at Blaze looking so at ease. Strange, considering the environment, but who is he to judge?

He spends the next few matches pointing out the most ridiculous parts of the armour the combatants wear.

Yes. But she has Sten and Zevran right there. They're not going to let anything happen to her. And the commentary is amusing.
