Getting to Know Each Other

Flirt: I’m interested in you. +Sera slightly approves (female Dalish/human PC) +Sera approves (female Qunari/dwarf PC)

PC: I was thinking you and I should get to know each other.

Male PC Sera: Aww, that’s… not going to work. I mean it’s too bad, we’ve got a lot in common. We both like women. Scene ends.

Neutral/low approval Sera: You’ve got a pretty way about you. We can see where that goes, if it goes the way I like.

Sera (Qunari PC): I’d say you’re getting there. Woof, are you getting there. Sera (dwarf PC): You could get there. You’re just so squishy cute. Sera (Dalish PC): I mean, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Sera (human PC): I think it will. If you’re nice.

Sera: And I am a good judge of people. I don’t date pricks. Really, because prick and prick… Look, you’re nice. Let’s travel around more. I get to know you, we’ll see. Scene ends.

If romancing someone else Sera: Not interested in being your second. PC: My what? Sera: Your second. I like you fine, but—and this may be hard for a Trevelyan—you can’t have everything. Sera: Your second. I like you fine, you’ve got a pretty way about you. But—big but—I don’t share.

If asked again before breaking off other relationship Sera: Like I said, clean up your business first.

Sera: You can talk, because words are shite, but if you want to do? With me? Better tell Josie first.
Sera: You’re having it off with Cullen. Settle that before you come looking at me.
Sera: You’re getting in deep with Blackwall. Better tell him you’re looking to wander.
Sera: You’re having it off with Solas. If elfy isn’t doing it for you, better tell him first.
Sera: You’re Iron Bull’s toy. Not interested in being in the middle of that.

Scene ends.

If available to romance Sera: Right. You come with me.

Sera and the PC sit.

Sera: So. You’ve been chatting me up. I heard that, yeah? And seen the looks. That’s all fun and such, out there walking around. But maybe there’s more in your head? Like you want to be more?

Sera (Qunari PC): So, uh, yes? Because phwoar, you… you have height. Sera (dwarf PC): And I have to say, it’s just the most adorable thing, because you’re so squeezy cute! Sera (Dalish PC): I mean, I don’t usually go for elves. Feel like a… bag of chicken necks. But yes, I like you. You’re… it’s good. Sera (human PC): I mean, you’re good on the eyes. Fun. It could go pretty good if the human thing works out.

Dialogue options:

General (Qunari PC): Is this only about how I look? [1]
General (dwarf PC): Can’t you take me seriously? [2]
General (Dalish PC): But you’re an elf, too. [3]
General (human PC): The human thing? [4]
General: I’m glad you feel the same. [5]

1 - General: Is this only about how I look? PC: It feels a bit like you’re only interested in my appearance. Sera: Well, it’s a start, yeah? I mean, they say “don’t judge a book,” but that’s exactly how you judge a book. Then you get… you get inside and see if you really like it? You want to go play around?

2 - General: Can’t you take me seriously? PC: You tease a lot because I’m a dwarf. Is that all you see? Sera: Well, don’t take it wrong. I don’t even know a lot of dwarves. I just… I think you’re funny. You know, because you’re short? I don’t mean anything. Look, I like you. Being dwarfy doesn’t matter. Or whatever. Maybe elfy, but you’re not, so we should play?

3 - General: But you’re an elf, too. PC: I don’t understand. You’re really that hesitant because I’m an elf? Sera: Well, you’re you, so you’re nice. It’s just… I know how it goes, yeah? We’re elves, together we’re two elves, then we need to be elfy because we’re elves for other elves and elf, elf, elf. But that’s all stupid. It’s maybes and worrying and a waste, because I like you. Want to do something about it?

4 - General: The human thing? PC: Is there something wrong with me being human? Sera: You tell me, Lady Trevelyan. It’s your people who always get a hair up the arse about it. “Oh, the Inquisitor took an elf. Of course she did. She’s taking advantage of… some rubbish, I don’t even know.” I like you just fine. I’d bed you now. Just be ready for that talk from idiots. Because they’re idiots.

5 - General: I’m glad you feel the same. PC: It’s nice to finally admit what we both knew was there. Sera: You’ve been saying it other ways. Maybe me, too. But I’m tired of talking. Of everybody always talking. “We’re all dead” this. “We’ll kill them” that. What about what’s important when you like someone? I mean bed. We should get to your bed. Now’s good.

6 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: Any issue that I’m Inquisitor? [7]
Investigate: You’re quick to jump into bed. [8]
Flirt: Come back to my room. [9] +Sera slightly approves
Flirt: We’ll talk and have fun later. [10]
End romance: This wouldn’t work out. [11] -Sera disapproves

7 - Investigate: Any issue that I’m Inquisitor? PC: So you’re not worried about me being “the Inquisitor”? “The Herald”? Sera: Did… that do something to you… down there? Oh, the Andraste stuff! She’s not, you know, here, so so what? Or is it because you’re in charge? Because if there’s a problem, I won’t lose my job. Isn’t that right, Inky?

Dialogue options:

Special: You’re going to call me Inky? [12]
[Back to 6]

12 - Special: You’re going to call me Inky? PC: Really? If we’re together, you’ll call me Inky? Sera: What? I make fun of titles because they’re stupid. PC: But as a pet name? Sera: Oh, it’s a thing with you? Well, let me have it then. Lean in, like it’s real dark, and whisper your naked name. (Laughs.) Pfft! ㅤㅤ ㅤ Sera: No, no, I think you get ‘Teetness. Sera: Forget that! Now it’s Buckles. Sera: As bloody if! Now I’ll call you Shiny. Sera: No, I’m calling it. Now I like Tadwinks. Sera: No, settled it. Staying with Inky. ㅤㅤ ㅤ [back to 6]

8 - Investigate: You’re quick to jump into bed. PC: Don’t you want to get to know each other a bit before jumping into bed? Sera: We’ve been all walking over the bloody place. That’s time listening, talking… watching your arse. How is “real” getting-to-know different from that? You only counting words when I wink or something? I like you, I don’t play with just anyone, and I don’t share. That’s why we’re talking now. Still talking. Do you want to stop talking?

Dialogue options:

Special: I don’t want just sex. [13]
[Back to 6]

13 - Special: I don’t want just sex. PC: I’m not interested in just a sex thing. Sera: Who said anything about “just”? “And.” “Aaaaaaand.” Walking and fun. Fighting and fun. I mean, I can… I can talk to anyone. Do you just want to… keep talking? [back to 6]

9 - Flirt: Come back to my room. PC: Sera, I’m inviting you up to my chambers. Sera: No, I’m racing you there. I win, I lock the door! Come on, [Tadwinks/’Teetness/Shiny/Buckles/Inky]! Show me what you’ve got! PC: (Laughing.) They run off. Scene ends.

10 - Flirt: We’ll talk and have fun later. PC: We’ll get to know each other more later. In lots of ways. Sera: Ugh, fine! You’re fun, “Lady Inquisitor Herald of Her Importance.” Don’t be less fun now that we’re, you know, a thing. Come see me, [Tadwinks/Shiny/’Teetness/Buckles/Inky]. Scene ends.

11 - End romance: This wouldn’t work out. PC: This isn’t what I expected. Let’s just keep it friendly and move on. Sera: Just like that? Well, that’s… that’s you then! Go on, you teasy tit. I thought you meant stuff when you said it. That’s supposed to be what’s different. Stupid… right? Why am I pissed? We didn’t do anything. Ugh! Scene ends.

I Need A Gift For Sera

Blackwall

Special: I need a gift for Sera

PC: I want to show Sera how I feel but can’t think of the right gift. Ideas?

Blackwall: You and Sera, huh? (Chuckles.) That’s… a tricky one, actually. It’s hard to know what she wants without knowing who she is.

Blackwall (post-revelations): Same problems everywhere, I guess.

Blackwall: You should… you should give her something you think she might like. Doesn’t help, I know. Good luck?

—

Cole

Special: I need a gift for Sera

PC: I want to show Sera how I feel. You have a… different perspective. Any ideas on what to get her?

Cole: A gift that means feelings? So it’s something it isn’t? I don’t think that works outside the Fade. Or in it. Don’t give her a gift in the Fade. That would go very bad. She would make it very bad. I’m not much help. Sorry.

—

Cassandra

Special: I need a gift for Sera.

PC: I want to give Sera a gift that shows I’m serious about her. Any idea what she would like?

Cassandra: You, our Herald, and… Sera? (Sighs.) You certainly go out of your way to make things difficult, don’t you? I’ve no suggestions. At least, none she would willingly accept, such as gaining purpose. Or an actual profession. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.

—

Dorian

Special: Any ideas for a gift for Sera?

PC: I’m looking for ideas for something to give Sera. To show her I’m serious.

Dorian: Right, you want the “Lovers’ Red.” Nestle a Feltermont rose to your heart and take it to the west peak of mount Erzazet. As dawn breaks, bare your chest. Nine seconds of that cold sun will tease the petals to the color of love’s first blush.

PC: Is… is that a thing?

Dorian: No, complete nonsense. As is trying to please that imp with any material gift.

If PC hasn’t asked Vivienne yet Dorian: Good luck, Inquisitor. It’s not a hunt I’d bet on.

If asked Vivienne before Dorian: Although you might try the shaving thing. It’s no less foolish.

Dialogue options:

General: Not you, too! [1]
General: I just might. [2]

1 - General: Not you, too! PC: Why do people keep suggesting that? One must amuse oneself somehow. Good day, Inquisitor. Scene ends.

2 - General: I just might. PC: I’m starting to come around to it. Sera does seem the kind to have that effect. Another time, Inquisitor. Scene ends.

—

Solas

Special: I need a gift for Sera.

PC: (low approval) I want to show Sera how I feel. Is there anything you can suggest for a gift? PC (neutral/high approval): I want to show Sera how I feel. Any suggestions for a good gift?

Solas: You and… I see.

PC: You won’t help?

Solas (Dalish PC): I can’t. She’s turned her back on what we should be. Solas (non-Dalish PC): I can’t. The way she’s been raised, she’s no more an elf than I am a horse.

Solas: I have no insight into what she could want. Something human and fleeting, no doubt.

—

Varric

Special: I need a gift for Sera.

PC: I want to give Sera a gift to show her how I feel. Any suggestions?

Varric: You and Sera, huh? Good one. That’ll make some eyes twitch. A gift, though. Tricky business. Is it too obscure? Is it too on the nose? Will it be taken as intended? It’s a pain in the ass. I wouldn’t worry about it. If there’s something she wants, she’ll say. Sera’s not big on subtext. No footnotes. Or, you know, words of any sort.

—

Vivienne

Special: I need a gift for Sera.

PC: I want to show Sera I’m serious about her. Any ideas about a gift that would say it?

Vivienne: Oh for… seriously? This is why you’ve bothered me? Just shave something rude into your privates, dear. She won’t get the redundancy.

Dialogue options:

General: No! [3]
General: I could. [4]

3 - General: No! PC: I’m not doing…! You’re no help. Vivienne: In this matter, I am glad, Inquisitor. Scene ends.

4 - General: I could. PC: Are you sure? Anything is worth considering. Vivienne: Of course my dear. Now, If you’ll excuse me, I’m doing anything else. Scene ends.

A Woman Who Wants for Nothing

Sera Masterpost

The PC enters Sera’s room.

PC: Sera?

Sera runs in.

Sera: Hyaaah! Whozat? [Shiny/Buckles/‘Teetness/Tadwinks/Inky]!

Sera: Listen! I got you a hat, but it’s ugly, so I drew Coryphe-whatzits’ face on it and stuffed it with apples. Everyone’s hitting it with sticks! I really hope you like it. (Laughs.)

She runs off.

PC: We’re giving gifts now?
The PC goes off to ask companions about gift ideas for Sera.

—

Sera: Hi, [Shiny/Buckles/‘Teetness/Tadwinks/Inky]. What’s going on?

Sera: What is this? You look serious.

General: I don’t know what to get you. [1]
General: What gifts do you like? [2]
General: Are you expecting a present? [3]

1 - General: I don’t know what to get you. PC: I’m racking my brain for something you’d like. I have to admit, I just don’t know. Sera: Well, that’s sweet, but what are you on about? [4]

2 - General: What gifts do you like? PC: I have that thing you wanted. I’ll go get it. Remember, it was a… ? Sera: A… what? I don’t get it. [4]

3 - General: Are you expecting a present? PC: Am I supposed to get you something? Because I need more to go on. Sera: What are you talking about? [4]

4 - Scene continues.

PC: You gave me a gift, sort of. I asked everyone and still don’t know what to get you in return.

Sera: Wait, wait, wait. You went to everyone and said I was your lover? Right to their faces? They must have…

Sera (Vivienne recruited): Ooh, Vivienne must have puckered pinky-tight. Sera (Vivienne not recruited): Ooh, Cassandra must have pinked her peach.

Sera: Best gift ever.

Dialogue options:

General: Of course I told them. [5]
General: Well, that worked out. [6]
General: But I can get you anything. [7]

5 - General: Of course I told them. PC: I’ve never kept you a secret. I don’t think it’d be possible. Sera: There’s a difference between knowing and having it rubbed in your face, yeah? Heh, I’ll show you. On your face. Because I said… just come here. [8]

6 - General: Well, that worked out. PC: Well I’m relieved. Guess I got lucky.

Sera (sided mages): You’re about to. Maybe you’re seeing the future again. Yeah? Sera (sided templars): You’re about to. What, can you see the future now, too?

Sera: It’s got no underpants. [8]

7 - General: But I can get you anything. PC: I’m the Inquisitor. I could get you anything. Sera: But I don’t want “The Inquisitor” to use Inquisitor powers to inquisit everything I want. Sounds a bit too “noble-y,” don’t it? Besides, I’m grateful now. You’d still rather go shopping? [8]

8 - Scene continues.

Sera pushes the PC into bed and climbs on top of them.

If agreed with Vivienne’s suggestion Sera and the PC lie in bed nude.

Sera: (Giggling) I can’t believe you shaved that in your… (Laughs)!

She sits up clutchign her sides from laughing.

Sera: Andraste’s Herald is touched, all right. That is… (Giggling).

Sera rolls off the bed.

Dialogue options:

General: It represents us as a couple? [9]
General: It was a demand of my “Qun.” [10]
General: I can’t reach you. I’m short. [11]
General: I was hungry. It made sense? [12]
General: I hope you like it. [13]

9 - General: It represents us as a couple? PC: It’s sort of… well, it represents how we came together, I think? Sera: I’ll show you coming together. Scene ends.

10 - General: It was a demand of my “Qun.” PC: Let’s just say it was… Sera: A demand of your Qun! What, think you wrote that? Saw it coming, yeah? Going to see it again. Scene ends.

11 - General: I can’t reach you. I’m short. PC: Get up here. The height difference is silly enough as it is. Sera: Don’t worry, I’ll get you a box. Because box and… box? Just come here! Scene ends.

12 - General: I was hungry. It made sense? PC: It’s all I could think of. I shouldn’t make decisions when I’m hungry. Sera: Nuh-uh. Best time. Every time. Scene ends.

13 - General: I hope you like it. PC: I’m glad you’re laughing. You like it? Sera: Oh, I’m going to love it. Scene ends.

Kissing and Fighting

The PC walks into Sera’s room.

Sera: Oh, you. Not you. Not now!

Sera runs past the PC into the tavern.

PC: Sera? Sera!

Sera hides behind one of the support beams.

Sera: I don’t want to talk. Go away! I said go! Away!

PC: But what is—

Sera: I saw you dead! You led all of this right up Coryphy-shit’s face, and then “the Herald” went home to Andraste! It was last night, clear as anything, even with eyes shut. You. In the Void. Gone. I can’t see it again. I can’t be with you and see that again!

Dialogue options:

General: Sorry for your imagination? [1]
General: That’s the dumbest thing ever. [2]
General: I can’t be blamed for a dream! [3]

1 - General: Sorry for your imagination? PC: Then I’m sorry for what I didn’t do, in that thing you imagined? Sera: Right, like you have any say! There’s holes leaking the Fade—dreamland—all over the place! [4]

2 - General: That’s the dumbest thing ever. PC: I am not getting in trouble for a nightmare that fell out of your head. Sera: Oh, right! Because how could dreams matter when frigging holes into frigging dreamland are frigging everywhere? [4]

3 - General: I can’t be blamed for a dream! PC: You can’t be upset at what I did in a dream. They aren’t real! Sera: They’re real somewhere! That’s what the Fade is: bloody dreamland! And you already fell in the thing! [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Sera: Dreams show stuff. Stuff I don’t want to think about! Which is hard, because I want to think about you! A lot.

She walks closer.

Sera: You don’t act like nobles. I love that. You don’t hide. I love that

Sera (PC responded positively about the cookies): Maybe you can take or leave cookies. Fine. Still love that. Sera (PC responded negatively about the cookies): You don’t like cookies. Convenient. Love that.

Sera (Qunari PC): And, just look at you. Just… love that. Sera (dwarf PC): And you’re just so twee. I can’t not love that. Sera (Dalish PC): And you’re not too elfy. Surprise, I can love that. Sera (human PC): And you’re human as anything, and I still love that.

Sera: But seeing this really hurt! I’m fighting to make things better and learn truth and shit, and it just keeps getting scarier!

Dialogue options:

Pleased: You just said “love.” A lot. [5]
Confused: But it wasn’t real! [6]
Angry: This is an immature excuse! [7]

5 - Pleased: You just said “love.” A lot. PC: I know you don’t care about words, but that was a lot of “love” you just let slip. Sera: Well, thank you, old lady smarty pants, turning it all around to show me what I “really want.” But so what?

Sera (left Warden contact in the Fade): You’re special. Who else is special? Divines, yeah? Wardens, too. Heralds will be different? Sera (left Hawke in the Fade): You’re special. Who else is special? Divines, yeah? Champions, too. Heralds will be different?

Sera: So yes. “Love.” Lots of it. Who cares against all of everything?

End romance: The fun is gone. We’re done. (End the relationship.) [11] -Sera greatly disapproves

8 - Flirt: I care! And I love you, too. PC: It’s because I love you that “everything” had better watch out! It’s you and me against it all! Unless you’re not up for it. [12]

6 - Confused: But it wasn’t real! PC: It was just a dream! A… damned dream! Sera: That doesn’t matter! You made me care about you, and now I could lose that! PC: No, you won’t! Sera: But I could! PC It was a dream! Sera: It could happen! You don’t know!

7 - Angry: This is an immature excuse! PC: You’re just afraid of getting serious! It’s the oldest excuse in the book! Sera: Well, I never read it, so it’s new to me! PC: No, that’s not… Sera: It’s not what? I know I don’t understand. I’m not smart. You want to have a go at making me understand? Well go ahead, make me understand!

Flirt: I love you! Don’t screw it up. (Continue the relationship.) [10]
End romance: The fun is gone. We’re done. (End the relationship.) [11] -Sera greatly disapproves

11 - End romance: The fun is gone. We’re done. PC: Sera, I can’t do this. This was supposed to be fun. Just a bit of fun. Sera: Well, it’s not that. Not anymore. PC: Then… that’s that. Sera: Suppose so. The PC turns away Sera: [Buckles/Tadwinks/‘Teetness/Shiny/Inky]? Sera looks sad as the PC turns around. Sera: Nothing. Sera walks away. Scene ends.

12 - Scene continues.

Sera tackles the PC to the ground. The scene fades to them drinking in the tavern.

General: I’m sorry, what? PC: What is— ㅤㅤ ㅤ
General: That’s sudden. PC: What brought— ㅤㅤ ㅤ
General: What’s your point? PC: Who asked—

Sera: No, don’t bother. I don’t care about your words. People say all kinds of words. People—me people—need you better than this. I… I needed you. Better. I can’t be with this you.

2 - General: You’re breaking up with me? PC: I’m the front line against the apocalypse, and you’re leaving me? Sera: You can’t use that as an excuse. Coryphynuts does that. [4]

3 - General: What’s this about? PC: What has you so angry with me? Sera: You don’t even see it. You had to work bloody hard to piss me off, and you don’t even see it. [4]

4 - Scene continues.

Sera: You’re punching down, hurting people. Just like every other “leader” who uses “leading” as an excuse. Even if… look, I need things normal in the end. People normal. I thought you cared about that. But… I was wrong. I’m stupid like that.

Dialogue options:

We still need you as an ally. (Sera stays as an ally. Romance ends.) [5] +Sera greatly approves
Then just leave. (Sera leaves forever.) [6]
If you don’t trust me, go! (Sera leaves forever.) [7]

5 - We still need you as an ally. PC: I did what I had to do. If that means no more us, then… no more us. But we still need you, Sera. For your fun. For the fight. Sera: Mouth made of frigging butter, and you waste it. All right, I’ll stay. I’ll shaft Coryphenus. The rest… Wish there was a rest, [‘Teetness/Buckles/Shiny/Tadwinks/Inky]. Wish there was. Scene ends.

6 - Then just leave. PC: Don’t like it, there’s the gate. Sera: Just like that? Knew it. Knew what you were. Good luck, Inquisitor. Good luck not being worse than losing. Sera leaves the Inquisition.

7 - If you don’t trust me, go! PC: You’re the one with a problem! Sera: What? PC: You’re the one who doesn’t trust me to do this right, so maybe you should go. Sera: I wasn’t… No, it’s fine, yeah? You can take your… everything and pound it! I never wanted any of this! I only needed… Nothing. I don’t need nothing. Goodbye Inquisitor. Watch your frigging breeches. Sera leaves the Inquisition.

If Sera stays but her approval drops again Sera: Hey, shithag. Warned you once. Not listening to your pretty words again. I’m out.

Then just leave. (Sera leaves forever.) [9]
Start running, traitor. (Sera leaves forever.) [10]

9 - Then just leave. PC: Don’t like it, there’s the gate. Sera: Just like that? Knew it. Knew what you were. Good luck, Inquisitor. Good luck not being worse than losing. Sera leaves the Inquisition.

10 - Start running, traitor. PC: You think you can walk away? If you’re not the archer, you’re the target. Sera: What is that, I don’t even… ? PC: Get your treacherous face out of my sight! Now! Sera leaves the Inquisition.
