"You don't want to wait for your partner in crime on that?"

Permalink

...HMMMMM.

"But waiting is boring..."

Permalink

"Let's start with some bacon and eggs and see if anyone else shows up, how about that?" Maker, he hopes someone else shows up.

Permalink

"I don't like meat."

Permalink

"Skip the bacon, then. Extra biscuits."

Permalink

"Okay!"

Varric catches the server's eye and communicates the request for more food through a couple quick gestures. Meanwhile, Hisame can have some things off his plate.

Permalink

Stolen food is best food. 

Permalink

He's happy she's enjoying it. (Better make that two plates, Jimmy.)

Permalink

She's a growing shinobi child, after all. 

Permalink

Indeed she is.

So... what exactly is a shinobi?

Permalink

...Hmmm.

"Shinobi use chakra to do stuff, but we're not like samurai or monks. Samurai are all stuffy and noble and honorable, and they mostly do direct fighty stuff. And monks are all pacifists and do indirect stuff. Shinobi are sneaky and not pacifists, but there's also a lot of non-sneaky shinobi techniques..."

"Sneaky mages, huh..."

Permalink

"Dunno much what mages are like."

Permalink

"Mostly, they're just people. Plus the ability to change the world with a wiggle of their fingers, which sometimes goes to their heads."

Permalink

"Like shinobi!"

Permalink

"So that much is the same... You don't wear robes, though."

Permalink

"The Hokage does!"

Permalink

Varric pulls a scrap of paper closer and begins taking notes. "Yeah? What's a Hokage do?"

Permalink

"Leads Konoha, which is where I'm from."

Permalink

"It's an elected position? Hereditary?" Varric thinks he's found the setting for his next serial, and he's going to pull as much detail as he can.

Permalink

Hisame has so much detail, including an actually possibly weird amount about how her government runs (...less weird when she reveals she was heir to one of the founding clans of Konoha, which had been noble even before that).

Permalink

Varric jots everything down. (Noble protagonists aren't too relatable, underdogs sell better... maybe he can tweak the backstory a bit, orphans are always popular, easy pathos.)

Permalink

Eventually, other people will join the breakfast table.

Permalink

(Does Hisame's firm conviction that Madara was in a forbidden relationship with Hashirama and/ or Tobirama that ended in TRAGEDY and BETRAYAL help at all? There's so much angst in the Founders Era, too! And no one really wealthy - the Uchiha were quasi-nomadic, the nobility title the remnant of a long-fallen empire they clung to out of pride... Possibly some good pathos there about disappointing your father and how that doesn't matter if you have someone cute to kiss.)
