Solas: You seem well-versed in courtly manners for a woman raised in the wilderness.Morrigan: What are you implying?Solas: That you have a talent for winding nobles around your finger, or that the infamous ‘game’ is not so deadly as they like to believe.Vivienne: Or that more talented souls paved the wave for her.Solas: Another possibility.Morrigan: ‘Tis true that Orlesians overestimate the challenge of this ‘Game’ of theirs. Empress Celene had her desires, and ‘twas a simple matter to keep her satisfied.Vivienne: Which is why you’re with us.Morrigan: With you at my side, I could not help but notice.Vivienne: Believe me, dear. Court enchanter is a trifle compared to where my sights have set.

Solas: I found your son atop the rotunda’s scaffolding today.Morrigan: He has long been fond of climbing, and Skyhold’s trees are too new to bear his weight.Solas: It was no harm. My only regret is I did not have an answer to every question he asked. He is a curious boy.Morrigan: (laughs) That he is.

(during What Pride Had Wrought, upon finding the mosaic of June)

Morrigan: Ah, clever June. The most elusive of the elven gods, insofar as legends are concerned.Solas: Their silence is deafening.Morrigan: I take it you have insight?Solas: Merely that he does not deserve what little credit he is given. Time has forgotten the name of whosoever built the first aravel.

“i think you gave the chantry sisters in the courtyard something akin to a stroke,” she says with a bit more brevity than she likely should, pausing to lower her voice after that consideration, “i appreciate it though, it means they stop praying so loudly for at least a few minutes to appear scandalized.” appearances mean their continued presence here, sidri reminds herself, even if she would like nothing better than to send them all packing or replace them with lovely, and silent, potted plants. 

“i’m sorry if they stare so, morrigan, they’ve a habit of that.” 

Meditation in these places never was truly without cost, the mystic might think to himself as lowing rays of sunlight streaking the Emerald Graves. Graves, but not for humanity that would claim it as their own. It was verdant in the late spring, since abandoned of hedonistic Orlesians who would’ve transfigured it into their own cheap playgrounds. Even as he had set to descend into a Somniari’s sleep, the man took pause, sensing he wasn’t alone.

( Alistair and Theron after killing blood mages )

Alistair: Makers Breath...Theron: My people aren’t very fond of blood magic eitherAlistair: I don’t understand why people turn to it?
