[ Getting off topic there Alistair. ]

Politics aside, [ Alistair's voice continues, with scolding emphasis aimed at himself, ] who wears skirts better, do you think? Mages or Templars?

I suppose mages.

The skirts are among the many reasons I chose to join the Grey Wardens over the Templars.

So you wouldn't be thrilled if I suggested new uniforms, I take it.

[in_death_sacrifice]

Only if these new uniforms included skirts.... or plaidweave. We have to maintain some sense of dignity within the order, after all.

There's nothing wrong with skirts. Calenhad Theirin united Ferelden in a skirt, if you believe the murals. It was even plaid.

You're safe, though. If only because replacing everyone's uniforms would be expensive.

[in_death_sacrifice]

There's nothing wrong with skirts on women.

Ah, thank the Maker for that. I'm fond of what we have now.

[byblow]

Huh. There aren't many things Fereldans are more relaxed about than Orlesians. I suppose I'll add skirts to the list

[in_death_sacrifice]

There may be other Orlesians who disagree with me. No, make that definitely. There are definitely plenty of Orlesians who'd be fine with skirts for men.

But I'd much sooner wear proper armor than some pointlessly fancy skirt, any day.

Well, if someone [ not naming any names ] were difficult [ not anyone they know! ] and wanted to argue [ especially no one whose name rhymes with on-the-stair ] he might say a skirt is less fancy than trousers. Much simpler. You can just wrap something around your waist and there you are, skirted.

[in_death_sacrifice]

Yet they still look fancier somehow, all fluttery and billowing. Besides, pants are far more... uh... shall we say, protective?
