❝ now you know i hate to question your decisions, but— ❞
❝ just couldn’t stick to the plan, could ya? ❞
❝ always so sure you know better. ❞
❝ i don’t care about your apologies. ❞
❝ please, not here. ❞
❝ so nice to finally meet you in person. ❞
❝ next time, aim a little more to the right. ❞
❝ seems like a good time for a new venture. ❞
❝ you were magnificent, you know that? ❞
❝ people like us don’t change the world. ❞
❝ people pay you more to blow stuff up if it’s for something they believe in. ❞
❝ we have a very small window of time. ❞
❝ you’re our only hope of pulling this off. ❞
❝ will you help us, please? ❞
❝ i should have told you everything, and for that, i’m sorry. ❞
❝ i’ve left it at that. i suggest you do the same. ❞
❝ you can’t be serious. ❞
❝ i’ve survived things that make the deep roads look like a pleasant stroll. ❞
❝ i assure you, you’ll lose your nerve long before i will. ❞
❝ lengthen your stride and shut the fuck up! ❞
❝ hold. state your business. ❞
❝ light of the maker shine upon you. ❞
❝ we won’t be here for long, okay? ❞
❝ i don’t like the sound of ‘could’. ❞
❝ ain’t it obvious? we’re the muscle. ❞
❝ if you’re trying to distract me, it won’t work. ❞
❝ fair play on that one. ❞
❝ i don’t like your implication there, friend. ❞
❝ what happened here? ❞
❝ i just can’t stay out of trouble. ❞
❝ you think that did anything except risk our mission? ❞
❝ do you want to talk about it? ❞
❝ if you don’t come back, i’ll kill you myself. ❞
❝ that’s more your problem than mine, ain’t it? ❞
❝ tevinter is home to the most powerful magic in the world. ❞
❝ careful, you might offend the chantry. ❞
❝ spirits, demons, they’re all dangerous. ❞
❝ i, for one, cannot recall any good coming from something powered by murder. ❞
❝ maker’s breath, don’t you think that’s worth investigating? ❞
❝ i am not letting you face one of those things alone. ❞
❝ many before you have sought to bring back the dead, and failed. ❞
❝ by name and by nature, mortals are doomed to die. ❞
❝ nothing goes against nature without consequence. ❞
❝ just because something hasn’t been done doesn’t mean it can’t be done. ❞
❝ i won’t risk losing you. ❞
❝ please don’t make me protect you from yourself. ❞
❝ one way or another, this will all be over soon. ❞
❝ i mean, he’s cute, but yikes. ❞
❝ you think i’m scared of you? ❞
❝ no one ever saves people like us. ❞
❝ i have always wanted my own song. ❞
❝ well, there goes my last vain hope that this was an accident. ❞
❝ i don’t need your protection. ❞
❝ it’s pronounced ‘thank you’. ❞
❝ i’m here to help, for some reason! ❞
❝ but i just got you back. ❞
❝ aw, maker’s titties. ❞
❝ less talk, more run. ❞
❝ no one’s going to hurt you. you’re with me now. ❞
❝ i’d prefer not to kill you, but i will. ❞
❝ blood magic is not the answer. ❞
❝ now is not the time for great moral stances. ❞
❝ you can’t tell me this doesn’t feel weird. ❞
❝ well, of course it doesn’t make sense when you say it like that. ❞
❝ i have nothing to say to you. ❞
❝ that isn’t fair and you know it. ❞
❝ i’ve made mistakes. but they were mine. ❞
❝ you live because i will it. ❞
❝ are you really trying to claim the high ground? ❞
❝ are you really the last one to figure out that you’re the villain? ❞
❝ hey, look at you, making good choices. ❞
❝ you’re holding it wrong. ❞
❝ no one ever saves us. so we save us. ❞
❝ hey, that is a completely unfair assumption. ❞
❝ i just need you to say that i’m more important than this. ❞
❝ holy crap, we’re alive! ❞
❝ i am, uh, usually not this lucky. ❞
❝ you don’t have to come. i won’t hold it against you. ❞
❝ i will have my war. ❞
❝ and after this, we can go to the hinterlands and make cheese for all i care, so long as we’re together. ❞
❝ that’s the thing everyone forgets about dragons. they aren’t monsters, or gods. they’re just alive, like us. ❞
❝ as much as i love hearing about my failings in the eyes of the maker, i thought a walk might be a bit more pleasant. ❞
❝ i won’t say i’m not scared, ‘cause i am… extremely scared, but i know this is the right thing to do, so i’m definitely gonna help you anyway. ❞
