Shadows of Ancient Arlathan

Limited Conversation: Talk to Neve

Rook walks into one of the buildings that appears to be a study. Neve stands inside with a bunch of wisps floating around.

Neve: Wisps. Figures they’re in the Fade, but I swear they’re following me here.

Rook: You all right?

Neve: Strange place we’ve fallen into. But I’ll work with it. You know me.

Rook: Do I?

Shadow Dragon Rook: Neve : We’re both Shadow Dragons, and both from Minrathous. Maybe our paths haven’t crossed, but I know our work has.
Non-Shadow Dragon Rook: Neve: I know Varric wanted you for the job. You know the same about me.

Sarcastic: People get smoother starts. [5]
Stoic: That’s it? [6]
Shadow Dragon: Shadows stand together. [7]

3 - Flirt: Quite the start. Rook: I’m not sure stopping a ritual is the best way to meet someone. Neve: So much for first impressions. Rook: Here’s hoping I’m better on the second. Neve: Well, you’re not bad so far. [13]

4 - Affable: I hope we can build on it. Rook: You’re right. We’re in this together either way. Neve: (Laughs) We’re in for a treat. [13]

5 - Sarcastic: People get smoother starts. Rook: A bad start. Unless you always meet people when something’s on fire. Neve: Most of the time. It comes with the line of work. Rook: (Laughs) Right. [13]

6 - Stoic: That’s it? Rook: That’s not a lot to go on. Neve: You’ll figure it out. [13]

7 - Shadow Dragon: Shadows stand together. Rook: And Shadows stand together. Neve: That’s the idea. Cross your fingers it works out for us. [13]

2 - Took Neve to disrupt the ritual Rook: I made a call that got you injured right after we met. Neve: I’ll be fine. You trusted me for the job and I delivered. That’s what counts. If we’re stuck in this, let’s hope you can trust me again.

Dialogue options:

Flirt: Let’s hope things go smoother. [8]
Affable: I do trust you. [9]
Stoic: We’ll see if we can. [10]
Afraid: I’m still sorry. [11]
Shadow Dragon: Shadows stand together. [12]

8 - Flirt: Let’s hope things go smoother. Rook: All right. But I still wish we had a smoother start. Neve: So much for first impressions. Rook: Here’s hoping I’m better on the second. Neve: Well, you’re not bad so far. [13]

9 - Affable: I do trust you. Rook: Of course I do. We’re a team. Neve: (Laughs) Is this how fast you trust anyone? Should I be touched or worried? [13]

10 - Stoic: We’ll see if we can. Rook: We’ll see how it goes. Neve: Is that cynicism, caution, or both? We might just get along. [13]

11 - Afraid: I’m still sorry. Rook: It’s not that I don’t, I’m just… I’m sorry you got hurt. It was my call and what if…? Neve: It happens again? Or to someone else? I don’t know. That’s the raw deal we get. Rook: Right. [13]

12 - Shadow Dragon: Shadows stand together. Rook: Why wouldn’t I? Shadows stand together. Neve: That’s the idea. Cross your fingers it works out for us. [13]

13 - Scene continues.

Rook: You take a lot of notes. What about?

Neve: Lately? What we know. Or knew. Before Solas changed the game.

Rook: And it’s?

Neve: Not much. I’m sure Lace would hate to hear that but… one step at a time.

Dialogue options:

Affable: We’ll figure it out. [14]
Sarcastic: Start with the big goal. [15]
Stoic: We need better than that. [16]

14 - Affable: We’ll figure it out. Rook: We’ll figure this out. I’m sure of it. Neve: Really? Do you know something I don’t? Rook: No, we just… well, we have to, right? Neve: (Laughs) Yeah. That’s the job. +Neve approves Scene ends.

15 - Sarcastic: Start with the big goal. Rook: Okay! So, step one is figure out what we’re chasing. Neve: Right. And the twenty other questions that need answers? Rook: That’s step two? Neve: I can see why Varric brought you on. Rook: We’ve just got to start somewhere. +Neve approves Scene ends.

16 - Stoic: We need better than that. Rook: “Not much” isn’t going to save the world. This’ll get worse before it gets better. Neve: The question is how? Rook: Cheerful. Neve: That’s what I’m here for. +Neve approves Scene ends.
