Usually, by the time they're bellowing, it's far too late to do much else, quite honestly. More than likely I've already said something that's upset them enough to start casting fireballs.
[ hawke don't aggravate the bad guys challenge failed immediately ]
Though in the case of the Arishok, that was a direct challenge so even if I wished to quiver in my boots, it'd have to be done in front of an audience.
You'd probably like Barret, actually. [softly said, because...sometimes you miss your friends.]little too much, he's good for when things go wrong quickly.
Sounds like my kind of man. You're bound to always have some problems pop up no matter how much you plan for it. A quick thinker means we all won't die terribly before we've got the time to worry about it.
[watches half my tag disappear somehow help i think it was like "even if he's brash and he yells a little too much". either way she probably would yeah.]
Barret's pretty good at making sure we don't die, yeah. He's the leader of the team Cloud and Tifa started with, and since then we've kind of grown and split away from other people. Problems kinda follow you wherever you go, I think, so it's nice having someone who doesn't really trust things so easily. [this is painting such a weird picture of barret but she does mean this so positively.]
It helps, yeah. Even if half the time you're trying to convince them to stop being a bloody stick in the mud and get on with it. [ fondly ] Especially when you're in a place like Kirkwall where you can't trust easily or your body will simply be thrown off the docks at some point.
You get it! [yeah!!!!] Midgar's...not exactly the nicest place either, so I get it. And we have to be really careful while we're traveling now. But I think you can get them to loosen up a little when they're outnumbered.
It's quite the sight when they finally let go and tell their morals to sod off in the face of danger. I've a friend in the city guard, Avaline who's almost the same way. She's usually the first to tell me if I'm straying too far away from being law abiding but occasionally, that doesn't equal doing what is right.
I don't think it's wrong to want to follow the law, really, but when you know the law's wrong you can't hold back from doing something to change it. At least she's a little flexible. That has to count for something.
It's certainly a relief when it's on request from the guards. Other times, however, it's truly just 'Avaline might you look at the wall over there so I can break down the door' or 'Avaline could you please make sure none of the guards patrol this way so I can do a bit of a stab in peace' while she stares at me like she'd truly be doing the world a favor by running me through.

If you're sure! You'd probably know how to handle something like that better than me anyway.

I suppose if you count bellowing right back at a fellow when he's trying to be crude...?

You have a tendency to act more than strategize, don't you? [she does not say this like it's bad.]
no subject
[ more like she forgets that's important until someone is yelling 'HAWKE, NO!!!!' behind her. as you do ]
I'm a great believer in figuring it out when we get there.
no subject
You sound like you'd get along pretty well with a couple of our friends in that case. They're pretty good at figuring it out on the fly.
no subject
Oh?? I could always use more people who think on their feet.

Who knows? Maybe doing things against the grain will help us figure out what happens next. All we can do is keep looking for answers.
[they know not of trials at this time.]

You'll probably need to bribe her with a headache solvent first but it's possible. [ she probably shouldn't sound so weheh about that ]
If I've learned anything in my years of adventuring, doing what they want usually goes worse than everyone thinks at least, so that's one.
no subject
Guess that's fair enough. [to both things...] ...think we should split up and keep looking for ways to fix this then?
no subject
For the best perhaps. Chattering certainly isn't getting us any further. [ we'll be here all night goes distinctly unsaid ]
