Wine is more of a 'coming to visit, sorry for bothering you' sort of gift, I think. And as you said, she already has a lot of movies and books.

[Hmm....]

Maybe something practical?

[He raises an eyebrow and gives Alistair a wolfish grin.]

Or something for you to enjoy together, possibly?

[reluctantbastard]

[Alistair gives Wolfe a long, flat look.]

Obviously, you don't understand. You can never go wrong with wine. Especially if you give a wide range, like a bottle from multiple vineyards. And a good story is always worth it, even if you have a lot of others.

[That grin, you stop that. Right now. He's had enough comments about his sex life to last a million Blights. But, you know, two can play that game.]

What do you think is in half of these bags?

[wolfehawke]

I don't know, this is just what my mother impressed upon me when we were elevated. She grew up nobility, I just assumed she knew what she was talking about.

[Leandra generally did.]

At least now I know what to get you, if not Ri. Though judging by the number of bags you've got she's not going to have room for gifts from anyone else.

[He chuckles.]

[reluctantbastard]

Okay, honestly, I don't think anyone here cares about those sorts of rules. [Not even Riona and she also grew up a noble. Booze is always acceptable as a gift, especially if you don't know someone that well.] Do I want to know what sort of ideas you have now? And room isn't an issue. [Because he legitimately has like five things.]

[wolfehawke]

Probably, but you don't get to find them out until the party.

[He shrugs and shakes his head, teasing. Alistair does have one thing right; stay here long enough, and no one cares about the sorts of rules that dictate propriety and that includes in front of royalty. Here, Alistair is just a fellow Ferelden, not the king or anything and considering how Alistair is, it's very easy to pretend.]

[reluctantbastard]

Well, I'm pretty patient.

[He's been denied gifts most of his life, so he doesn't really expect them now.]

Just... nothing I can't show in front of Rowan and Zevran. I have to deal with them enough.

[Alistair gives exactly no shits about being king while he's here. And if anyone asks him, he'd be very open about his feelings as well.]

[wolfehawke]

[He chuckles.]

I promise, it's nothing untoward.

[reluctantbastard]

[If possible, Alistair's already semi-suspicious nature is piqued even higher.]

I'm not sure that's comforting, but since you're from Ferelden, I will have to trust you, won't I?

[Not that he thinks all people from Ferelden are trustworthy. Not by a longshot.]

[wolfehawke]

Born and bred! Well, not actually born. I was born on the Waking Sea, actually, but close enough. Definitely trustworthy.

[He grins, knowing full well not all Fereldens are trustworthy either, and moreover that the king knows too. Still, a far sight better than Orlesians anyway.]

[reluctantbastard]

The Storm Coast is as good as Redcliffe, I suppose.

[Although, now he's not sure that he was even born in Ferelden himself. Since the whole inquest into his parentage and all that. It doesn't matter, since he's now the damn king.]

Well, you don't look the type to twirl his mustache. And you'll have to work on your Orlesian accent if you want to be a villain-type. Or, you know, take up with what's left of Mac Tir and Howe's men.
