“I must confess that I did not expect the Herald of Andraste to actually be two Qunaris! I would have liked to see the Chanty’s face when they learned that! ”
The twins looked at each other then turned towards Dorian.
“Is the fact we are Qunari embarrassing you?” Sarment asked with a touch of provocation.
"No, not at all, far from it! I suppose that the Herald of Andraste doesn’t need to be of a particular origin. But the idea that a Tevinter would join two Qunaris is, to say the least, rather surprising, no? Any onlookers would be wagering on how many days I have left! ”
“Would it be possible that you’d be suspicious of us, Pavus?”
“Forgive me if I seem anxious, but I’m sure you’re keenly aware of the tension between our people. It’s hardly unusual to come across wreckage and carnage left behind from…negotiations between Qunari and Tevinter. I’m sure a pair of upstanding heralds like yourselves wouldn’t fault a pretentious scholar his trepidation. ”
The young woman was about to protest when her brother’s hand on her shoulder changed her mind. Nazare, a small smile in the corner of his mouth, replied. “Suspicion suites you, mage, I’m sure my sister and I will swiftly ease that anxiety. If it reassures you, we consider you an ally, so I’ve no intention of slaughtering you while you sleep…unless perhaps we have to be wary of a scholarly Tevinter?“
"Touché!” Dorian said with a laugh. “In this case, I believe I owe you an apology.”
“As my brother said, suspicion befits you. I imagine we would be in a similar state were we more concerned about the conflict in Tevinter. No offense taken.”
“No hard feelings?” Repeated the mage.
"No hard feelings.” Sealed Nazare.
