I know that the answer is likely no and I don't begrudge you it but I thought I'd ask anyway - I'm trying to start to bring the non-Loyalist mages together, give us some sort of a support community the way the Loyalists have. A safe place, so to speak, to share and relax. You're invited, if you'd like to come.
[For awhile, Twisted Fate hems and haws over this.
HNNGH. It's not even a responsibility thing, but--]

You're lucky that you're my friend and that I adore you.
So what do you want me to do?
So what do you want me to do?
I am.
[He sounds very happy.]
I'd like you to come on the, on the tenth. I'd like you to be there, and you can talk and eat and drink as you'd like. I've a warehouse reserved, everything's all in order.
Unless you'd like to come early and help me set up chairs and fire glyphs so the place is warm.

Did you, by chance, hire two actors to pretend to be upper class Tevinter mages who decided to join the Inquisition in the middle of a possible plague, because you thought that I might find it amusing?
Oh, please. I can do much better pranks than that. I'd at least have them walk in with flat Orlesian shoes to tip you off.
So, what? We have a couple of Tevinters who decided to play nice? What are the odds some are finally following in Dorian's footsteps...

[ Sighhh. ]
It seems so. I'd been hoping it wasn't serious. The last couple Tevinters we've had hanging around are either prisoners, or tried to kill the prisoners. That they just showed up out of the blue in the middle of this--well. Blue.
[ Ha ha ha. ]
Maybe this is divine punishment for something.

Don't be so dramatic, Beleth. Though it probably is a bit funny to have Tevinter mages go to a Dalish elf to be allowed into the Inquisition.
Do they have names, these two?
Do they have names, these two?
They seemed thrilled to have the opportunity--and no. Absolutely not. I remember the last time I gave you the names of people I was working with.
[ And the last thing she wants is him smugly informing her that he went and hooked up with both the Tevinters. ]

Come on, I'm going to run into them eventually anyway. Jealous?
Why would I be jealous?
[ That’s neither a yes nor a no. ]
Thor and Loki, of House Asgard. Their father is a Magister, Odin. I don’t suppose you’ve heard anything, aside from their apparent fondness for four-letter names?
[ That’s neither a yes nor a no. ]

Because you like it when we get freaky.
[tf don't say that]
[tf don't say that]
[When he hears the names, Twisted Fate audibly chokes on something and coughs. After clearing his throat, he gives a very tiny:] What?
[ There’s a quiet huff, that TF probably knows—because he’s made her make that noise often enough—comes with a blush. ]
Don’t say that—Creators. You did sleep with them, didn’t you?
[ Another, more annoyed huff. ]

What?! No, nothing like that--
I, uh. I have to go, something came up.

...Tobrevas, if you know something about these mages that might be important to the safety of the Inquisition, you had better tell me. And do not run off, I swear to Mythal herself I’ll find you.
[ She is too damn on edge and tired to tip toe around possible threats to her job. ]
[ She is too damn on edge and tired to tip toe around possible threats to her job. ]
...I don't believe they'll be a danger to the Inquisition in particular.
It's not Thor. I don't remember ever meeting him. But whatever you do, do not trust Loki.

...He seemed like the nicer one. He...was kind, gave me compliments.
Which, I suppose, should have been a dead giveaway he was untrustworthy. No one ever does that to me without ulterior motivations.
[ Not that she’s BITTER or anything. ]
Anyway, I’ll be careful.

Loki's a businessman. An opportunist. I don't know anything about Thor other than he's golden child for the House of Asgard.
...I know you're smart. And I don't think I'm that worried about you. Not for lack of caring, but because you're capable. I also assume he's going to underestimate you.

[ She listens, and—it’s weird. She feels weird. For someone who just whined about how people don’t compliment her without ulterior motives, she’s remarkably pleased with Fate’s. ]
I—thank you, Fate. I wouldn’t mind if you were a little worried for me, you know.
Did Loki...hurt you, or anything? I can kill him.
[ The offer is casual, but incredibly sincere. ]

[ The offer is casual, but incredibly sincere. ]
Aww, you'd kill someone for me. That's so sweet. [He does sincerely appreciate that.]
...No, Loki didn't do anything to me. I don't think I'd say anything that was surprising, honestly. That he's done shady business, slave trade, and so on.

Of course I would—slave trade?
[ She’s going to kill him. ]
[ She’s going to kill him. ]
You do remember he's from Tevinter. Slaves are all the rage.
Amazing, I’m feeling all the rage, myself.
I knew most of them have slaves. But actively participating in the trade...
[ Not that possessing them is good, but that’s worse. ]
Thank you for telling me, Fate. I’d say you’d make a good spy, but I’d rather not be your boss.
[ For a variety of reasons. ]
