"What did you then do that saw you posted here?"

"I was not the immediate successor to the leader of the delegation. The one who was received a wound from one of the darkspawn we fought, and it festered. I ended his life before the taint could turn him and endanger us further. This mercy was not appreciated by his allies in Minrathous."

"His allies sound like fools, then."

"A misplaced notion of vengeance, for a seat they felt that ought to have been his."

"People are the same in any world, then, I suppose."

"What a distressing conclusion for this meeting to arrive at."

She laughs. "Maybe I'll keep going across worlds until I find somewhere full of only people who are entirely sensible."

"Given the present three examples, you may be searching for some time."

"I'm rather hoping to make myself immortal at some point."

"I would be in favor of that."

"Use caution if you attempt such an endeavor with powers found on this world. The last mortals who came close were cursed by the Maker himself, and brought the darkspawn taint to the world. Or so the story goes."

She laughs. "Maybe elsewhere, then."

"Perhaps there will be a world full of sensible immortals."

"Probably dreadfully fun to upset."

"You really do delight in chaos, don't you?"

"It's a bit of a specialty."

"You might consider visiting the Qunari when you finish here. They have the most strictly regimented society in all of Thedas."

"I found one of their enclaves earlier! They didn't respond very amusingly to minor provocations, but they might go major ones."

"The Qunari here in Kirkwall are somewhat odd. There's no reason they should be here in the first place or not have gone home already."

"And why wouldn't they be here?"

"There's nothing here for them. They've never had an interest in Kirkwall."

"Then something must have changed."

"Evidently, but just what that may be is frustratingly opaque."

"Hopefully investigating will be a fun past-time, then."

"I hope you have better luck than the residents of this city have had for the past year."
