#the overdramatized pain i inflict upon myself by writing maths instead of math OTL

[bumblewarden]

Ambient dialogue between Radka and a disguised Novhen at Haven. She is in on the disguise. They are in Leliana's canopy and speak with an often teasing familiarity.

Radka: Who do you think it was behind the Herald in the Fade?

Novhen: Not Andraste. We're agreed on that much, right?

Radka: Ancestors' tits, yes! You're a real breath of fresh air, salroka, you know that?

⛺️

Novhen: Lot of Chantry folk here.

Radka: That's what I'm saying! Why are there so many Chantry folk at this Chantry splinter?

Novhen: Ach, you know what I mean.

⛺️

Radka: What exactly are you doing?

Novhen: Codebreaking.

Radka: And how does that work?

Novhen: Well, it's maths mostly.

Radka: That's all I needed to hear.

⛺️

Radka: Still nothing from the Orlesian Wardens.

Novhen: Feh. Can't trust them to do anything right these days. Blight or no, there are certain communication channels they're supposed to keep open.

Radka: Have you had any luck with the Fereldans at least?

Novhen: About as much as you might expect.

(If dwarven Inquisitor)

Radka: I can't believe a Carta's supposed to be the one to save us.

Novhen: You disapprove?

Radka: I used to work for them back in Orzammar until they made me their fall guy and threw me in a cell. Those nug humpers would toss us all to the fire for a single silver piece.

Novhen: I'll keep that in mind.

(After recruiting Blackwall)

Radka: What do you think of Warden Blackwall?

Novhen: There's something odd about that one. I need to look into him.

⛺️

(After recruiting Blackwall)

Radka: Have you ever met a Grey Warden before?

Novhen: Of course I have. I was in Denerim when they ended the Fifth Blight.

Radka: So was I. I accompanied the Hero of Ferelden even, but when it came time to actually kill the thing, he left me to defend the city gates. I didn't even get to see the archdemon.

Novhen: You aren't missing out. I snuck a look before it got hauled off. Ugliest bastard I've ever seen.
