Ever since that dialogue between Varric and Blackwall, I’ve wanted Blackwall on a horse. (I also need an outlet for my unfulfilled Renaissance Festival energy this year.) Since we’ll never get an Inquisition road trip to Markham... here’s Blackwall ready for a joust!

Ah, I do have a story in my head, where my Canon Player, Asilien, who is a ‘hick’ from Ostwick, having no idea on how to dance.  In embarrassment that the Great and Powerful Inquisitor has no  dance knowledge, she attempts to practice by herself in her room, reading and failing to learn from a book.

And that’s when Blackwall shows up.  He silenlty watches her fumble yet another dance step, and only then does he make his presence known.  Asilien is completely mortified, and tries to make excuses, before finally breaking down and explaining she has never needed to learn how to dance. 

And that’s when Blackwall offers to teach her, much to her surprise.  He expertly teaches her the basic moves (since this is going to be a big ball with a diverse set of guests, he tells her, only the most popular dances will be needed, not any of the new most fashionable ones) until she knows all the moves off by heart.

And that’s when she asks the question that shows up in-game.  

“I didn’t know you could dance”
