After the Storm
Talk to Solas
Solas: I wondered when you would return. The fall of Weisshaupt reverberated across the Fade some time ago, as did the fall of an Archdemon. But unless I am mistaken, both Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain yet stand.
| Saved Minrathous | Saved Treviso |
|---|---|
| Rook: Treviso got blighted because I was busy driving off the blighted dragon in Minrathous. I couldn’t be in two places at once. | Rook: Minrathous fell to the Venatori because I was driving off the blighted dragon in Treviso. I couldn’t be in two places at once. |
Rook: But at Weisshaupt, we got there in time. The Archdemon was down. I had a dragon hunter, a mage-killing assassin, and the Grey Wardens. And even then, we couldn’t kill Ghilan’nain.
- I’ll worry about that later” Solas: You once told me that the consequences of your battle would be a problem for “Future Rook.”
- ”Whatever they want.” Solas: You once told me that you would accept whatever consequences came from your battle.
- “It won’t be that bad.” Solas: You once told me that you would stop the gods without getting “thousands of innocent people killed.”
Dialogue options:
- Affable: We made progress. [1]
- Sarcastic (Worry about that later): Thanks, past Rook. [2]
- Sarcastic (Whatever they want): It’s a lot to accept. [3]
- Sarcastic (It won’t be that bad): I guess? [4]
- Stoic: That’s still true. [5]
- Angry: This is your fault! [6]
- Afraid: I need some support. [7]
- Sad: Don’t mock me, okay? [8]
1 - Affable: We made progress. Rook: I’d hoped we’d take down Ghilan’nain, but we did kill her Archdemon. That’s a good start.
Grey Warden Rook: Solas: “A good start.” I wonder if your fellow Wardens would agree.
Solas: Does this truly feel like even a partial victory, or does something uncomfortable lurk behind that easy smile?
Dialogue options:
- I need to seem confident. [9]
- I’m trying to believe. [10]
- No, but being sad won’t help. [11]
9 - I need to seem confident. Rook: No, of course it doesn’t feel like victory. But that’s what leadership is. It’s putting your own feelings aside so the team doesn’t collapse. Solas: And what is so dangerous that the mere sight of it would destroy your team? Rook: That I was wrong. Davrin, Lucanis, all of them… I convinced them to join. I told them we could win. And right now, it feels like I lied to them. Solas: There it is. The grief of having not lived up to the trust that others placed in you. It is a pain worse than any Elgar’nan or Ghilan’nain could inflict, and if you let it, it can help you. Rook: How? [31]
10 - I’m trying to believe. Rook: It has to feel like a partial victory. If it doesn’t… We lost a lot of Grey Wardens. We lost Weisshaupt. If we lost all of that, and I didn’t accomplish anything? Solas: Then what? Rook: Then there’s no way I can win. I should just start running now. But I can’t. I have to keep acting like there’s some way to win. And that’s… terrifying. Solas: Good. There it is. The fear. You finally see the consequences. You know the stakes. That fear, the terror of what you face now, can help you, if you let it. Rook: How does admitting I’m terrified help? [31]
11 - No, but being sad won’t help. Rook: How do you think I feel? But the team needs me to look like I know what I’m doing. Solas: And what do you need? Rook: I need a break! I need one damn thing to go right for once! Solas: Because you deserve it? Rook: Because I can’t do this! But if I don’t, nobody will. So I’ve gotta keep banging my head against this wall like an idiot hoping for a miracle! Solas: There it is. The anger. The frustration at having failed. Properly channeled, that rage can flare hot enough to burn away any impurities. Rook: Fine! I’m angry! How does that help? [31]
2 - Thanks, past Rook. Rook: Sounds like something Past Rook would say. [They’re] kind of an asshole. [12]
3 - I guess? Rook: Weisshaupt could’ve fallen without us killing Ghilan’nain’s Archdemon. That would technically be worse. Solas: Technically. [12]
4 - It’s a lot to accept. Rook: I was thinking I’d be accepting hurt feelings, not a whole fortress falling to darkspawn. Solas: Sometimes the hurt feelings are worse. [12]
12 - Scene continues.
Solas: (Chuckles) You use humor a great deal.
- Solas: “The elven god of sarcasm.”
- Solas: “This is the reason nobody likes you.”
- Solas: “Killing an Archdemon is the easy part.”
Solas: Is all of this really so amusing, or is that wit the blade with which you keep less comfortable feelings at bay?
Dialogue options:
- It’s that or cry. [13]
- It’s that or panic. [14]
- It’s that or rage. [15]
13 - It’s that or cry. Rook: I’m doing the best I can to hold it together. Sometimes that means stupid jokes. Solas: And when those fail? Rook: Then I probably start ugly-sobbing. Snotty nose, blotchy face, the whole deal. Solas: Why? You are no stranger to death. You have seen warriors fall in battle before. Rook: But I’ve never been in charge. And this time…
- Punched the First Warden: Rook: I punched the First Warden in the face and made everybody listen to me.
- Reasoned with the First Warden: Rook: I got the First Warden to listen. I got him to believe in me.
Rook: And then I… I couldn’t get it done. I failed. And Weisshaupt fell. Solas: There it is. The grief of having not lived up to the trust that others placed in you. It is a pain worse than any Elgar’nan or Ghilan’nain could inflict, and if you let it, it can help you. Rook: How? [31]
14 - It’s that or panic. Rook: Well, I don’t think uncontrollable screaming is gonna help anything, and that’s the only other option. Solas: Uncontrollable screaming at what? Rook: I had a legendary assassin, a dragon hunter, and an army of Grey Wardens, and we still failed! I still failed. People keep asking me what we do now, and I have no idea. And that is… terrifying. Solas: Good. There it is. The fear. You finally see the consequences. You know the stakes. That fear, the terror of what you face now, can help you, if you let it. Rook: How does admitting I’m terrified help? [31]
15 - It’s that or rage. Rook: Yeah, there’s a pretty good chance the jokes are how I cope. Solas: And beneath those jokes? Rook: Why does that matter? Would me yelling right now help anything? Solas: It might help you know who you are. Rook: The whole world is gonna know who I am! They’re gonna make statues of me! “In honor of Rook: [They] almost saved Weisshaupt!” Solas: There it is. The anger. The frustration at having failed. Properly channeled, that rage can flare hot enough to burn away any impurities. Rook: Fine! I’m angry! How does that help? [31]
5 - Stoic: That’s still true. Rook: And I stand by that. Solas: Truly? You watched a fortress fall and Wardens die, and it touches nothing within you?
- Solas: I expect that you call it professionalism.
- Solas: No hesitation. “We stopped you. We’ll stop them.”
- Solas: No concern. Just targets. “Any other surprises we should know about?”
Solas: What are you so desperate to avoid feeling?
Dialogue options:
- Numb. [16]
- Terror. [17]
- Fucking Furious. [18]
16 - Numb. Rook: Nothing. Solas: So no fear, no anger, lurks beneath the surface? Rook: No, I mean… I try to think about what I’m feeling, and I just… there’s nothing there. If I think about what happened at Weisshaupt, I just… stop. Like I could go to sleep and never wake up. And I can’t afford to do that. Solas: Why not? Rook: Because I let everyone down once already. I can’t do it again. Solas: There it is. The grief of having not lived up to the trust that others placed in you. It is a pain worse than any Elgar’nan or Ghilan’nain could inflict, and if you let it, it can help you. Rook: How? [31]
17 - Terror. Rook: Ghilan’nain was so much worse than anything I expected. She’s a god. And don’t give me that “Evanuris” crap. You can turn people to stone with your eyes! Solas: Yes, and yet I wield far less power than Ghilan’nain or Elgar’nan. Rook: The world is going to end up a blighted wasteland unless I stop them, and… I don’t think I can. Solas: Good. There it is. The fear. You finally see the consequences. You know the stakes. That fear, the terror of what you face now, can help you, if you let it. Rook: How does admitting I’m terrified help? [31]
18 - Fucking Furious. Rook: I am so fucking tired of being the one who has to do this while the rest of the world ignores the problem! Tevinter and the Antaam would rather fight each other!
- Punched the First Warden: Rook: The Grey Wardens wouldn’t listen until I punched their leader in the face and took over!
- Reasoned with the First Warden: Rook: The First Warden wouldn’t listen until the enemy was stomping all over his courtyard!
I can’t do this alone! I need people to shut up and do what I tell them for once, or I’m going to fail again! Solas: There it is. The anger. The frustration at having failed. Properly channeled, that rage can flare hot enough to burn away any impurities. Rook: Fine! I’m angry! How does that help? [31]
6 - Sad: Don’t mock me, okay? Rook: Whatever your big trickster-god lesson is, could we just… not? Solas: Why not? What makes this time different? Rook: Weisshaupt? Solas: You have seen death before.
Dialogue options:
- I let the team down. [19]
- I was in command. [20]
- This time broke me. [21]
19 - I let the team down. Rook: I went to Weisshaupt to stop the gods… with a team of people I’d recruited. Davrin, Lucanis, all of them… I convinced them to join. I told them we could win. And right now, it feels like I lied to them. [22]
20 - I was in command. Rook: But I’ve never been in charge. And this time…
- Punched the First Warden: Rook: I punched the First Warden in the face and made everybody listen to me.
- Reasoned with the First Warden: Rook: I got the First Warden to listen. I got him to believe in me.
Rook: And then I… I couldn’t get it done. I failed. And Weisshaupt fell. [22]
21 - This time broke me. Rook: This time, I feel… nothing. Solas: And still you hide your feelings. Rook: No, I mean… I try to think about what I’m feeling, and I just… there’s nothing there. If I think about what happened at Weisshaupt, I just… stop. Like I could go to sleep and never wake up. And I can’t afford to do that. Solas: Why not? Rook: Because I let everyone down once already. I can’t do it again. [22]
22 - Scene continues. Solas: There it is. The grief of having not lived up to the trust that others placed in you. It is a pain worse than any Elgar’nan or Ghilan’nain could inflict, and if you let it, it can help you. Rook: How? [31]
7 - Afraid: I need some support. Rook: Could you be hopeful Solas instead of smug Solas right now? I don’t need you to convince me how bad things are, okay? I get it. I really, really get it. Solas: You have finally met the Evanuris in battle.
Dialogue options:
- I have to act confident. [23]
- And I’m in charge. [24]
- They’re too powerful! [25]
23 - I have to act confident. Rook: Yeah, we met the gods, and now I have to act like we’re not completely screwed and this was a good step forward. Solas: Why? Rook: We lost a lot of Grey Wardens. We lost Weisshaupt. If we lost all of that, and I didn’t accomplish anything? Solas: Then what? Rook: Then there’s no way I can win. I should just start running now. But I can’t. I have to keep acting like there’s some way to win. And that’s… terrifying. [26]
24 - And I’m in charge. Rook: And somehow, I’m supposed to go up against them again, and everyone is looking to me for a plan. Solas: The plan will come. Once you have marshaled your forces… Rook: I had a legendary assassin, a dragon hunter, and an army of Grey Wardens, and we still failed! I still failed. People keep asking me what we do now, and I have no idea. And that is… terrifying. [26]
25 - They’re too powerful! Rook: Yeah, and it turns out that when you’re fighting a god, terror is a perfectly rational feeling! And don’t give me that “Evanuris” crap. You can turn people to stone with your eyes! Solas: Yes, and yet I wield far less power than Ghilan’nain or Elgar’nan. Rook: The world is going to end up a blighted wasteland unless I stop them, and… I don’t think I can. [26]
26 - Scene continues. Solas: Good. There it is. The fear. You finally see the consequences. You know the stakes. That fear, the terror of what you face now, can help you, if you let it. Rook: How does admitting I’m terrified help? [31]
8 - Angry: This is your fault! Rook: No. You don’t get to come in here all superior. A whole lot of people just died, and that’s on you! Solas: I have made many mistakes, but I did not free Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain. Rook: Fine. Whatever. Solas: No. This is important, Rook. Your fury is real, but you can only defeat it if you identify its source. Who are you truly angry at?
Dialogue options:
- Everyone! [27]
- Ugh. Myself! [28]
- Bad Luck? [29]
27 - Everyone! Rook: I’m trying to save the world, and everybody’s kicking me in the shins while I’m doing it! Tevinter and the Antaam would rather fight each other!
- Punched the First Warden: Rook: The Grey Wardens wouldn’t listen until I punched their leader in the face and took over!
- Reasoned with the First Warden: Rook: The First Warden wouldn’t listen until the enemy was stomping all over his courtyard!
I can’t do this alone! I need people to shut up and do what I tell them for once, or I’m going to fail again! [30]
28 - Ugh. Myself! Rook: I know who I’m angry at. It doesn’t matter. Solas: Of course it matters. You must learn who you are. Rook: The whole world is gonna know who I am! They’re gonna make statues of me! “In honor of Rook: [They] almost saved Weisshaupt!” [30]
29- Bad Luck? Rook: I don’t know! Fate, luck, something! This whole mission has been one disaster after another. Solas: And how would luck help you? What is it that you need? Rook: I need a break! I need one damn thing to go right for once! Solas: Because you deserve it? Rook: Because I can’t do this! But if I don’t, nobody will. So I’ve gotta keep banging my head against this wall like an idiot hoping for a miracle! [30]
30 - Scene continues. Solas: There it is. The anger. The frustration at having failed. Properly channeled, that rage can flare hot enough to burn away any impurities. Rook: Fine! I’m angry! How does that help? [31]
31 - Scene continues.
Solas: There are those who hold their emotions at a distance to avoid the sting of failure. To defeat Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain, there can be no distance. You must be committed.
Rook: What, you think we failed because I didn’t want it enough?
Solas: I cannot say. But you chose this battle, and in so doing, you chose these consequences.
Solas: Regret is the price we pay for acting when no one else will. Without regret, we would not be driven to correct our mistakes, to improve. To get it right.
Dialogue options:
- I’ll get it right. [32]
- I don’t want to feel this. [33]
- I’m not here for this shit. [34]
32 - I’ll get it right. Rook: Next time, we won’t miss. Solas: I believe you. And I believe that if you listen to me, then Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain will fall. [35]
33 - I don’t want to feel this. Rook: It still hurts. Solas: I have lived thousands of years and made countless mistakes. It always hurts. If you listen to that feeling, perhaps you may never need to feel it again so keenly. [35]
34 - I’m not here for this shit. Rook: I didn’t come here for your philosophical bullshit. I came for help! Solas: What did you think my help would look like? I cannot promise that our talks will be easy. All I can promise is that if you listen to me, Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain will fall. [35]
35 - Scene continues.
- Solas: And while your grief is valid, the situation is not as dire as it seems.
- Solas: And while your fear is valid, the situation is not as dire as it seems.
- Solas: And while your frustration is valid, the situation is not as dire as it seems.
Solas: You have slain an Archdemon, a feat only a few have accomplished over the centuries. Ghilan’nain is now mortal. If you can find her and catch her unprepared, you can kill her.
Rook: So how do I find her?
Solas: Your team has ties to organizations with connections you lack. The Shadow Dragons in Minrathous, the Veil Jumpers in Arlathan, and so on. Strengthening your team will strengthen those groups. Prove your value as an ally, and they will give you the openings you seek.
Rook: Okay. I’ll see what I can do.
Solas: Good. And Rook… I am sorry for the necessity of this lesson.
Dialogue options:
- No, I appreciate it. [36]
- It’s not wholly unexpected. [37]
- Whatever. Goodbye. [38]
36 - No, I appreciate it. Rook: You don’t have to apologize. I know you’re trying to help, so… thanks. Solas: Don’t. Don’t thank me. Our talk today will lead to Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain falling, but it is not a kindness.
37 - It’s not wholly unexpected. Rook: You talk with the Dread Wolf, you gotta be prepared to bleed a little. Solas: A painful assessment, but more than fair, especially today. If I knew some other way to prepare you for what lies ahead, I would do so. Good luck.
38 - Whatever. Goodbye. Rook: We’re done here. I’ll talk to you when I know something. Solas: Of course. Then I will simply wish you good luck.
Companions
Bellara (Davrin not recruited): Rook: Yeah, you’ve got it rough. At least we’re only fighting your gods because they’re evil?
Bloodbath
—
Antivan Crow: You took care of them? Well done.
—
- Rook: No hint of Zara’s whereabouts here.
- Rook: We’ll have to keep looking.
- Rook: All this stuff is going to the bank.
—
Rook: With the city blighted—one of the Crows should know a route to the chantry. And Zara.
Rook: We should get to that chantry.
—
Antivan Crow: The chantry waits. Are you ready?
—
- Bellara: So, does anyone else find it strange that Illario knew exactly where to go?
- Davrin: He knew where to wait for us.
- Emmrich: It does seem odd that Illario was waiting for us.
- Harding: Lucanis, Illario knew where you’d be.
- Neve: Illario knew where to wait for us.
- Taash: How’d Illario know where to find us? Is it a special Crow thing?
Lucanis: He’s always been good at charming people into talking.
—
Lucanis: Blood magic.
—
Rook: We’re a team. Okay, “team” is a strong word, but we’re here for you.
—
Rook: I… I was just worried about you.
Lucanis: I didn’t think you, uh…
The Cobbled Swan Case
—
- Manager: I’m not letting just anyone poke around.
- Rana: Where’s Neve?
- Rana: Get Neve and the place is yours.
—
Rook: Elek was going to meet us here. Guess he wouldn’t stay at a crime scene. Let’s see who else we can find.
—
- Bellara: Neve’s Thread friend. Elek. Didn’t he have news?
- Davrin: Elek. Neve’s Thread friend. Didn’t he have news?
- Harding: What about Elek? From the Threads? He might know something.
- Emmrich: Neve’s friend from the Threads. Elek. Didn’t he have news?
- Lucanis: Elek. Neve’s Thread contact. He had news.
- Taash: Elek. Neve’s Thread friend. Didn’t he have news?
Rook: Yeah, but we haven’t seen him since this started. So we focus on the singer.
—
- Rook: Rana wanted help finding Damas. Neve thinks a singer from the Swan could help.
- Rook: That man was taken from the Swan. Neve thinks the singer knows something. Should ask around.
- Neve: We’re in Dock Town. There’s a missing person to find. And a singer who knows something.
—
Rook: That’s Halos. Neve’s friend. Maybe he knows something.
Rook: Halos?
Halos: Who’re you?
Rook: Neve’s friend. I’m helping her find a singer from the Swan.
Halos: If you know a name, I can see if I know them. Saw a Swan patron head to the water there.
Rook: Great. Thanks. Just need the name.
- Halos: You find Neve what she needs.
- Halos: Better get after whatever you’re chasing.
—
Rook: That man’s eyeing us. Maybe he saw us at the Swan?
Rook: A man was taken from the Swan. Were you there? Do you know who was on stage?
Diner: I was there. I don’t know anything. Are you with the Threads? You tell them I don’t know!
Rook: It’s fine. Really. We’ll ask elsewhere.
Diner: Some of the others went to Wharf Crossing. If they want to talk, it’s on them.
- Diner: What?
- Diner: If you’re talking to Threads, you don’t know me, right?
- Diner: Got nothing for you.
—
Rook: How are things around Dock Town?
Dockhand: All that stuff about the Threads acting up? It’s the truth. But what can you do?
—
Rook: Neve said the Threads were changing their patterns. Enough that she wanted to investigate. And that was before Damas was taken.
- Bellara: The Threads are a big part of Dock Town. She must be worried.
- Davrin: From what Neve’s said, the Threads are a big part of Dock Town. I can see why she’s worried.
- Emmrich: If I understood Neve correctly, the Threads are closely tied with Dock Town. I can see why she’s worried.
- Harding: The Threads are a big part of Dock Town. She must be worried.
- Lucanis: The Threads are tied tight with Dock Town. She must be worried.
- Taash: The Threads are a big deal in Dock Town, right? Neve must be worried.
—
Rook: We need to ask more people about Damas. Let’s try him.
—
Rook: Uh, thanks. I guess we’ll try her.
- Benny: Don’t got any news for you.
- Benny: Hanging around for something?
—
- Bellara: Asking for help finding Damas. Wow. Rana really trusts Neve.
- Emmrich: Rana must truly trust Neve to ask for help finding Damas.
- Harding: Rana must really trust Neve to ask her for help finding Damas.
- Davrin: Asking for help finding Damas… Rana really trusts Neve.
- Lucanis: Rana asking for help finding Damas… that’s a lot of trust for Neve.
- Taash: Asking for help finding Damas means Rana really trusts Neve.
Shadow Dragon: Rook: It’s hard to find help that doesn’t come with strings attached.
Non-Shadow Dragon: Rook: I get the feeling it’s hard to find help here that doesn’t come with strings attached.
Rook: Rana’s not interested in shady deals. Neve’s help doesn’t come with a catch. According to Neve, that’s how Rana works too.
—
- Rook: A dock hand. If she works around here, maybe she’s heard about the Swan.
- Rook: She looks like she works here. Nira, maybe.
- Rook: They look chatty. Maybe they’ll talk about the Swan.
- Neve: That looks like another Swan regular. Let’s ask a few questions.
- Neve: She works around here. Let’s see what she knows about the Swan.
- Neve: Dock hands sometimes hear things. Let’s try her.
—
- Neve: By the statue. Let’s talk to her.
- Rook: By the statue. Let’s talk to her.
—
Rook: We still need information on Damas and the singer. Let’s try her.
—
- Neve: The conspiracy paper seller. Let’s see if he knows Cida.
- Rook: A paper seller. Let’s see if he knows Cida.
—
Dockhand: There’s a guy selling papers—conspiracy stuff. Have you seen them? Think he knows something?
Neve: Hey there. I’m looking for a singer. Plays at the Cobbled Swan.
Dockhand: I wouldn’t know, but Nira should be around. She’s always at the Swan. Try by the ships.
—
Dockhand: Oh, is this about that man that was taken? Thread business, right?
Neve: We’ll see.
—
Dockhand: Is this about that man that was taken? I heard it was Threads.
Rook: I’m trying to find out.
—
Rook: Hey. I’m looking for a singer. They work at the Cobbled Swan.
Dockhand: Sorry, can’t help you. But Nira should be around—she’s always at the Swan.
Dockhand: See you around?
—
Rook: Can you tell us anything else about the abduction at the Cobbled Swan?
Nira: Look, I hid under a table. Wouldn’t you?
—
Nira: Could use a quiet night.
—
- Neve: It’s fine. We’ve got a name. Hal can help with the rest.
- Rook: That’s fine. A name’s great. Let’s go back to Halos.
—
Rook: Hey Halos!
Halos: You want something?
Rook: Cida Ciconia. Do you know where I can find her?
Halos: She plays the Swan and the Lamplighter.
Rook: The Lamplighter! Worth a shot.
—
Neve: Hal!
Halos: What’ve you got?
Neve: Love for you. And a name. Cida Ciconia.
Halos: The singer? She plays the Swan and the Lamplighter.
Neve: The Lamplighter. That’s our next stop.
- Halos: Don’t let me keep you.
- Halos: Good luck chasing whatever you’re chasing.
Neve: I’ll see you around.
—
- Bellara: The Lamplighter. I’ve seen that name in the papers. I bet Neve has stories.
- Davrin: The Lamplighter. Bet Neve’s got dirt on the place.
- Emmrich: The Lamplighter. What a charming name. I wonder what it’s like.
- Harding: The Lamplighter. Sounds cozy. It’s probably not but… we can hope!
- Lucanis: The Lamplighter. I’ve been there. A long time ago.
- Taash: Lamplighter. Think the food’s any good?
—
Rook: A puppet panto? Huh.
- Bellara: Oh! That sounds fun! And… a little creepy.
- Lucanis: A play filled with puppets. That’s… unnerving.
- Davrin: Huh. Wonder if I could find any of the craftsmen.
Rook: Looking to trade carving tips?
Davrin: Why not? - Harding: There’s a bit of everything here, isn’t there?
- Taash: Hah. Isabela would love it.
- Emmrich: How delightful! Though Manfred has such an unpredictable reaction to puppets.
—
Neve: There’s the Thread Market. Time to let ourselves in.
—
- Bellara: Without Venatori… it looks like a regular market.
- Davrin: Without Venatori, it looks like a regular market.
- Emmrich: Without the Venatori about, anyone would think it’s a regular market.
- Harding: If it wasn’t for the cultists, this would look like a boring old market.
- Lucanis: Without Venatori, it looks like a regular market.
- Taash: Nothing weird about this place without the Venatori. Looks like a normal market.

| Neve: At first glance. But if you know the right people and the right things to say—there’s the fun. Antivan wine on the cheap, knock-off charms, the inside track on Dock Town’s betting rings—yours for a price. | Neve: It’s usually Thread territory. Know the right people and you get smuggled goods, access to betting rings, you name it. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours. Not the Venatori’s. |
