Fuck Yeah Aveline

(Act 2)

Sebastian:

I understand you are of noble birth.

Aveline:

My father was a chevalier. He had to flee Orlais when his patron was murdered.

Sebastian:

I'm sorry.

Aveline:

I wouldn't have been suited for the life of an Orlesian noblewoman, anyway.

Sebastian:

But surely you wish it had been different? To be a lady of Orlais and not a... city guardsman?

Aveline:

Not for one moment.

Aveline:

I'd rather kill a bandit and save a merchant's family than know the correct dance steps and which rouge is in fashion.

───────

Sebastian:

I hope this wasn't presumptuous, but I added your husband's name to the memorial wall in the Chantry.

Aveline:

Wesley? But... you never knew him.

Sebastian:

He was a templar. He refused to abandon the people of Ferelden to the Blight. He died too young.

Sebastian:

The grand cleric will read his name during the Chant of Remembrance.

Aveline:

Thank you. That is... very kind.

Sebastian:

He walks with the Maker. But it is no shame for those left behind to mourn.

───────

Aveline:

So you're a prince, are you?

Sebastian:

That is apparently true.

Aveline:

There's doubt?

Sebastian:

I've accepted the burden. That's all that matters. Why do you ask, Guard-Captain?

Aveline:

The entitled types are always trouble.

Sebastian:

In that case, I'm glad I don't count myself as one.

Aveline:

They never do.

───────

Sebastian:

You don't like me, Guard-Captain?

Aveline:

I've no issue, so long as the fight over your title remains in Starkhaven. Exactly like it hasn't.

Sebastian:

Should I apologize for trying to take back what is rightfully mine?

Aveline:

Whatever it takes? No matter the cost?

Sebastian:

It feels like your're blaming me for some personal experience of yours.

Aveline:

I was at Ostagar. Good people die when leaders "do whatever it takes."

Sebastian:

Good people know the necessity.

───────

(Once you complete Repentance)

Aveline:

Has Starkhaven called for it's lost prince, Sebastian? Would you give up if the city has moved on?

Sebastian:

Like Ferelden "moved on" after Cailan?

Aveline:

You've been reading.

(If Alistair was made king)

Sebastian:

It's a good tale. King Alistair is particularly inspiring. But I doubt that's how you see me.

(Otherwise)

Sebastian:

It's a good tale. I'm inspired by the Warden Alistair. But I doubt that's how you see me.

(If on rivalry path)

Sebastian:

I'm no tyrant, Aveline. If people die restoring my place, they will do so with full knowing. If that doesn't satisfy, so be it.

Aveline:

After your actions here, no it doesn't.

(If on friendship path)

Sebastian:

I don't intend to let anyone die restoring me to my place, Aveline. The risks are mine. And that will have to satisfy.

Aveline:

It was well said, I give you that. We'll see.

───────

(Act 3)

Sebastian:

What have I done now? You look like you wish to scold me.

Aveline:

I just can't fathom why you're still in Kirkwall.

Aveline:

For six years you've been claiming you'll retake your parent's lands.

Aveline:

You're smart, you'd be a capable ruler. What are you waiting for?

Sebastian:

I don't know if it's the right thing to do.

Aveline:

Do we ever get to know that?

───────

Aveline:

Are you loyal, Prince?

Sebastian:

Guard-Captain?

Aveline:

To Kirkwall. Are you loyal?

Aveline:

You're set on a title in Starkhaven, but we're having a crisis here.

Sebastian:

This isn't just Kirkwall's concern. If this chaos spreads, Starkhaven will need a strong ruler to beat back the tide.

Aveline:

I've seen greater men than you use that excuse.

Sebastian:

Noted and ignored, Captain.

───────

Sebastian:

Do you have many dealings with the knight-commander?

Aveline:

Please don't start with that. I'm not a templar. I'm the captain of the guard.

Aveline:

We arrest burglars. The knight-commander never gives us a thought.

Sebastian:

Grand Cleric Elthina is worried about her. She's stopped taking the Chantry's advice.

Aveline:

Her jobs not easy. Certain... forces in the city are allied against her.

(If Anders is in the party)

Anders:

Don't try to be subtle. I'm right here.

Sebastian:

Clearly, our templars need strong leaders.

Aveline:

Until something changes, that's Meredith. And we must give her any support we are able.

───────

(Legacy)

Aveline:

Are there many darkspawn around Starkhaven?

Sebastian:

No, thankfully.

Aveline:

Then little Grey Warden influence as well.

Sebastian:

You have an issue with the heroes who stopped the Archdemon?

Aveline:

They simply take whatever they need. It's... worrying.

Sebastian:

I'll keep that in mind as I continue to not die of Blight.

───────

Sebastian:

Does it make you think of Ferelden, being here?

Aveline:

Contrary to Free Marches propaganda, there's more to Ferelden than the Blight.

Sebastian:

It must have been hard, leaving your home under such circumstances. Do you ever think of returning.

Aveline:

That life is gone, and many good people with it. I carry the memory. That's enough.

(Or)

Aveline:

I have a home here, a family. I treasure Ferelden but.. it's a great place to be from.

───────

(MotA)

Sebastian:

This must be refreshing for you.

Sebastian:

I imagine it gets tiresome having to spend all your time dealing with thieves and drunkards.

Aveline:

Nice clothing doesn't make someone less of a thief.

Aveline:

And some of the fops trailing the duke are just as drunk as the crowd in the Hanged Man.

Sebastian:

They do smell better, though. You have to give them that.

Aveline:

I'll leave the comparing of odors to someone else.

───────

(While looking for Hawke and Tallis)

Aveline:

Ugh! We're back where we started!

Sebastian:

Blessed Andraste, guide us. Protect our friends in this dark hour.

Aveline:

While you're at it, ask the sky for reinforcements. And pie.

Sebastian:

You know, that kind of prayer has never worked for me.

───────

(After Tallis' identity is revealed)

Aveline:

You and Tallis better not start competing over who can lure the most converts.

Sebastian:

I don't think anyone here is in much danger of converting to the Qun.

Aveline:

But you do see it as a danger.

Sebastian:

If they offer something the Chantry does not, we need to learn what it is. Else we sow the seeds of our own demise.

Aveline:

And it's more threatening when a cute elf gives the pitch instead of a horned giant.

Sebastian:

Absolutely.

Aveline:

All right, I'm just going to say it. Fenris, you need to present yourself better.

Fenris:

What are you talking about?

Aveline:

You're squatting in Hightown. I sympathize with your claims, but your neighbors have influence.

Fenris:

My claims?

Aveline:

To the estate. "Rightfully stolen" isn't exactly something I can forward to the Viscount. Be more discreet about... yourself.

Fenris:

I shall endeavor to exist with less offense.

I had this idea to do some sort of quasi-Charles Atlas ad, but with everyone’s favorite guard captain.

Though I’m sure Merrill would have lobbed a fireball or two to help out.

OMG. And those freckles!

I see and get to reblog so much beautiful fan art and I just wish…

That these artists, who put so much love and passion into their work, wouldn’t add “This is awful, I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Like I get the impulse. I have that problem, too. When I’m complimented, my first instinct is say, “No, no.” When I do share some creative work on Tumblr or elsewhere (and it’s been ages since I’ve done so), I want to say “This isn’t very good, hope you like it.”

But gosh, everything I’ve seen, the drawings, the stories, they’ve all been wonderful.
