Limited Conversation
Neve: A sharp eye, a quick mind, and luck. That’s most of the job.
Bellara: So do you think I could become one? An investigator?
Neve: It takes a certain amount of focus, too.
Bellara: Oh, okay. Well, maybe not, then. I still can’t believe it. I’m talking to the Neve Gallus.
Neve: And that’s sweet. But I don’t need the flattery.
Bellara: Right. Just a person. I’ll try to remember.
Neve: Rook! Here to join us?
Dialogue options:
- Affable: What are you doing? [1]
- Sarcastic: I see you’re making friends. [2]
- Stoic: I’m checking on Bellara. [3]
1 - Affable: What are you doing?
Rook: What’re you two up to?
Bellara: We’re talking. Just two normal people. Talking about things. You know. Very casually.
Neve: It turns out Bellara knows my work. Or at least, the parts that make the papers.
2 - Sarcastic: I see you’re making friends.
Rook: I’m glad to see you’re making friends, Bellara.
Bellara: Oh, definitely! Neve’s, well. Neve. She’s been just so kind!
Neve: Bellara had more questions about my work. She can be quite persuasive.
3 - Stoic: I’m checking on Bellara.
Rook: Just came to see how Bellara’s doing.
Bellara: Oh, I’m good. Great, even. Neve and I were just talking. You know. Casually.
Neve: It turns out Bellara knows my work. Or at least, the parts that make the papers.
4 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Bellara: It all sounds so exciting! The things you’ve done, the people you’ve helped.
Neve: Those are the ones that go well. You don’t hear about the rest. Everyone wants a scandal. Or a happy ending.
Bellara: Or both! Like that time you told the marquis to—
Neve: Hold on. I don’t think Rook’s interested in that story.
Dialogue options:
- Affable: Up to you. [5]
+\ Neve Approves - Sarcastic: I love scandal. [6]
+ Bellara Approves - Stoic: Probably not. [7]
5 - Affable: Up to you.
Rook: You don’t need to tell me if you’re not comfortable.
Neve: It’s less that, and more that the story needs the right atmosphere. After dark over bad coffee. Or expensive wine. Take your pick.
6 - Sarcastic: I love scandal.
Rook: Rook’s a little interested.
Neve: Look, I’d love to. Honest. But that story needs the right atmosphere. After dark over bad coffee. Or expensive wine. Take your pick.
7 - Stoic: Probably not.
Rook: I’m not one to push for details.
Neve: Maybe another time. Over bad coffee or expensive wine.
8 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Bellara: Speaking of! What’s the situation with cooking, exactly? Are we on a rotation, or what? I can help out. I’m a pretty good cook. With some things, at least. Well, most of the time. Sometimes I get distracted, and things burn.
Dialogue options:
- Special: I have to go. (Leave Neve and Bellara to finish the conversation without you.) [9]
- Affable: It’s kind of free-form. [10]
- Sarcastic: I know that feeling. [11]
- Stoic: Then you’re excused. [12]
9 - Special: I have to go.
Rook: I see… Well, talk to Neve. And Harding. I’m sure the three of you can work something out. I’ll… see you both later.
Scene ends.
10 - Affable: It’s kind of free-form.
Rook: There’s no official rotation—everyone just makes extra food when they get hungry.
11 - Sarcastic: I know that feeling.
Rook: Oh, good. It’s not just me.
12 - Stoic: Then you’re excused.
Rook: Then I hereby excuse you from kitchen duty.
Bellara: I promise I’ll keep an eye on the stove.
13 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Neve: Do you mostly cook Dalish foods? I haven’t had a chance to try many.
Bellara: Sometimes. Not a lot of options when you’re out in the forest. But I’ve learned a lot of different cooking styles! Antivan, Rivaini—I even learned how to make Tevinter khachapuri.
Neve: Wait. Real khachapuri? The hollowed-out bread? Three kinds of cheese? I love khachapuri. What about you, Rook? What are you craving?
Dialogue options:
- Getting back to work. (Leave Neve and Bellara to finish the conversation without you.) [14]
- Dalish Food. [15]
- Khachapuri. [16]
- Anything, really. [17]
14 - Getting back to work.
Rook: Nothing, right now. I’m just… happy you two are hitting it off. I’ll see you later.
Scene ends.
15 - Dalish Food.
Rook: Wild meat and mushrooms sounds pretty good.
Bellara: Really? Maybe I’ll make some! Lots of herbs out in Arlathan! Just don’t pick the glowing ones.
16 - Khachapuri.
Rook: “Cheese” and “bread” were the only words I needed to hear.
Neve: You have no idea.
Bellara: It’s good! With the right cheese. Which can be hard to find out in the forest.
Neve: Well, we’ll have to see what we can find you.
17 - Anything, really.
Rook: Anything. I’m not too picky.
Bellara: Really? Maybe we’ll surprise you! But the good kind of surprise, for once.
18 - Scene continues.
Return to previous tree.Neve: You should have an assistant. Someone to make sure it doesn’t burn. See if it tastes right. That sort of thing.
Bellara: Neve Gallus? Helping me cook?
Neve: Again. The flattery…
Bellara: Right. Just a person. Got it.
Neve: Great. Now. Let’s see what we can scrounge up.
