[That brings her up short.]

You didn't have your own rooms?

We did not. I arrived when this cycle was but a few months old. We had but one room, with bunks in it. We had to pay to upgrade it, and it took several months to upgrade it to separate rooms.

Man, that would've sucked. Glad I missed it.

Not really big on sharing sleeping space with a bunch of strangers.

Me either, hence why I moved myself to the armory. I had no intention of sleeping with people I did not know. Back home, that would be a quick way of getting your throat slit open.

So did you like, drag your cot in with the guns and stuff?

No, I just took some blankets and a pillow there. It was not the first time I slept without a bed, no doubt it will not be the last.

Huh. I would'a totally moved a bed.

[She shrugs.]

Hey, you've got one now. Positive thoughts and all that shit.

To each their own, I suppose.

[He gives a soft huff that's ALMOST a laugh.]

As positive as our being captive for the entertainment of others can be.

[Chloe smirked at that.]

If you're gonna let that bother you, everything is gonna bother you, man.

[There's a small smirk on his face so clearly he finds this amusing. ]

Have you not noticed that about me already?

I figured it's gotta be at least half an act. Nobody can be that grumpy all the time.

I have been told I have lightened up a little over the years, so I am afraid you are infinitely wrong there.

Hmm.

Doesn't that get boring though?

I happen to enjoy boring.

...Why?

When you have lived a life where being bored was never an option, you learn to appreciate it.

[She thinks this over, then shrugs.]

Nope. Don't see it.

[He gives a long and frustrated exhale. ]

Then you are fortunate to have never been a slave. I enjoy the boring times on account of the fact I can.

[It's totally a spite thing. Fuck you, Danarius, watch him sit around and do NOTHING. Oh wait, you can't because you're DEAD. ]

...Though I admit, I could not do it all the time.

[Lucky for him Hawke doesn't let him. ADVENTURE!!!! and all that. ]

Yeah...haven't had the pleasure.

[Said a bit sarcastically, yes.]

I'd go crazy if I was bored all the time.

[He notes the sarcasm and gives her a LOOK for it, but doesn't push it any farther. If they argue now it will never end. ]

Luckily for me, I have people who will often drag me on ridiculous quests. Besides, there are always bandits to fight.

I guess that's back home, huh?

Unless there are space bandits and nobody told me.

[Ooh. Or maybe Space Banditos.]

There are probably space bandits, but yes, that's at home. They tend to leap out from dark corners whenever we walk anywhere.

...I'm honestly starting to wonder where they all come from.

[Every damn day. They kill so many of them, do they breed like rabbits or something?]

Probably wherever all the other poor people come from.

[She shrugs, shifting her box in her hands.]

There is a level below even the common thugs in Kirkwall. They may have little and steal from others to survive, but they are still human and can wander the city freely. They are not as badly done to as they can be.

What, so that makes it okay?
