...who let him even use the network, honestly

[deconsecrate]

[ Travelers, remember when you were recently informed about a terrifyingly organized group of dragons? And how this information was imparted in a manner grave, suitably solemn and noble and stuff?

...this probably won't be anything like that, just as a precaution. ]

Not to interrupt anyone's plans for the evening, but--

[ Hawke does not have any of them fancy image-sharing skills, so you're all just going to have to take his word on this. ]

I probably should let someone know there's herd of dragons on the move here, making a terrible mess of the tournament-grounds between Rivergard & Westgard. Bit bigger than the last ones, although not as many! Thank the Maker for small favors.

Does anyone know what you call a venery of dragons, by the way? I've always wondered*.

Not really. I did live in Kirkwall.

That means nothing to you, of course; you'll have to take my word for it that the 'Free Marches' are freer for some people than others.

[blackhand]

I'll put it this way- the City is no rose garden. Unless you're high society, you're as good as dirt.

[There's a pause, this is something he's told people in the past.]

It makes my job all the more fun, honestly. Keeps me on my toes.

[deconsecrate]

That's any city, isn't it?

[ No. You two just have canons with horrifying poverty gaps. ]

So if I want to see you smile I just have to find you something to steal. Got it.

[blackhand]

Apparently.

[More like the worlds just didn't want to make anyone happy. That works.]

It's one of the few things.

[Neria knows more, but she's had the advantage of knowing him longer. Hawke will just have to learn over time.]

[deconsecrate]

At least it's consistent.

[ Small favors. His voice could dehydrate the Amazon Basin. ]

As are you, I might add.

[blackhand]

[He'll get a scoff for that, but it's an amused one.]

I'd be a poor thief if I wasn't. Though I've been known to do the odd thing from time to time.

[More like all the time, Garrett. Going and exploring an exploding building and then going to an asylum for answers? And stealing stuff from both places? There are no words for that amount of crazy.]

[deconsecrate]

You'll have to regale me, some day when I'm not surrounded by dragons.

[ Sure there are! Three of them. 'Video game protagonist.'

...anyway, on a more relevant note Hawke thinks he may get some backup here, but if not ...well--actually, speaking of that amount of crazy. Oh dear. ]

[blackhand]

Make sure you don't get burned to a crisp.

[That's his way of saying "don't die, I actually might like you."]

[deconsecrate]

Immolation's not high on my list for the day.

[ u 2, bro. ]

[blackhand]

I'm almost afraid to ask what is.

[Spoilers: he's not.]

[deconsecrate]

A decent place to drink would be a good start. But failing that I'll take 'keeping most of my skin where it's supposed to be.'

[ Is the answer everything you hoped, Garrett? ]

[blackhand]

[He would've preferred something more like "handing all the shiny trinkets to the obvious thief" but hey, it's close enough.]

You're already better off than most people in this world, it seems.

[deconsecrate]

[ Sometimes people pay him to return those, though! He likes being paid. :[ ]

What, are a lot of them wandering about without skin? That sounds inconvenient.
