Just try and stop me. Let's see... where should I begin?

So... that game you were playing in camp, what was that?

We will. There's always a way.

I don't know how else to express my gratitude. This means a great deal to me. I can't believe you remembered it at all...

Why do I feel like I'm waiting for the axe to fall?

I've been worse. I'll be better still when we get out of here.

I heard that.

You could, but you won't. So be it.

No. I'm not getting out of your way. I'm going to talk and you're going to listen.

Maybe you're right. It's not as if she could have known that we needed help so desperately, after all, yet there she was.

Now that's a scary thought. They couldn't know about the plan! How? They're not that smart, are they?

I understand. And I still don't care. I don't want anyone else... even just for show.

Mourning can come later. By the time the snows come, this will all be done one way or the other.

You know... maybe this isn't the best time to be thinking about this, but I've something to ask you.

I do trust you. If this is what you think is best... I'll do it.

We would need to speak to their king in Orzammar. That means heading west into the Frostback Mountains, which won't be easy.

Uh-huh. I think we're done here.

See, that's what I told them.

Well, we're not exactly alone. What did you have in mind?

Right. (Sigh)

Pardon?

Technically the Circle of Magi is independent. We don't know that the Chantry won't support us, of course.

Happier than I ever dreamed possible. She's more than I deserve… and I hope I make her days easier as well.

I dread what is coming. Could Branka have been complicit in this? Could anyone?

The Chanters are still operating their board? Now that's dedication.

Given the circumstances, things could have been so much worse. I'm so grateful that you're you, instead of... some other Grey Warden.

Is this the part where the music starts and we begin dancing? Because I'm game. Where's the minstrels?

I understand the king has asked for the body to be returned to Orzammar?

I have no illusions about my status, however. It's always been made very clear that I'm a commoner and now a Grey Warden and in no way in line for the throne.

Ah. Yes, I can see how that... might be important.
