some grumpy grump hates kids

[No formal introductions here since Fenris is preoccupied with the noise coming from down the hall.]

I returned to my quarters to find the others rooming with me to be missing and shrieks echoing down the hallway.

Perhaps it should be of no concern, but it seems some of the younger ones among us are murdering each other collectively in some strange ritual. I am uncertain of if it would be wise to intrude, though advice would be appreciated as to whether or not I should bolt the door and bar them from returning as punishment for their unruly behavior.

[Not that he hasn't already done just that.]

I've never been able to track down proof, but I'm convinced Gamlen was actually switched at birth.

[Because that clearly has to be who Fenris is talking about, right? Hawke is Hawke, and Leandra had been an absolute darling.]

Carver was headstrong, prickly, hungry to prove himself, no matter the cost. The number of fights he picked, you'd think he was getting paid for all of them. He'd grown up into a decent enough man the last time I saw him...but you didn't hear that from me.

[Fenris had meant to make a jest regarding Hawke, but Gamlen actually fits better in this case, so he simply goes along with it as if it was his initial intention.]

It would certainly explain why he lacks any sense of loyalty.

Carver doesn't seem the most pleasant company by your description, so perhaps I am lucky in not knowing him, even if he may or may not be a better man now. By the words of a man whom I am not acquainted with. [Don't worry. Broody's got your back, Varric.]
