WHEN: early March
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: regarding some terrible romance novels Herian remains somewhat in denial about, but which are based on her - information here. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you'd like particular embellishments or questions answered for the sake of ridic novel discussions.

Forgive me the whimsical nature of the topic, if you would, Inquisition.

I—

( I would rather ignore this topic forever and pretend Alistair said nothing, but it's too late for that. )

I wondered if any of you might be familiar with the works of Jules Palourde. A series has been... recommended as something that might be of interest, but I've my doubts about the source of the recommendation. ( ALISTAIR. WARDEN. )

Any insights that might be offered about the Knight's Code series would be greatly appreciated. You've my thanks in advance.

[Just uncoiling himself from somewhere.]

Might've read some of them on the road. On those long cold nights.

You know the ones.

[Wink.]

( NO )

Where tales of honour and battle help steel oneself for the days ahead?

[inagutterson]

[After a solid couple of minutes of choking, a slightly strained but laughing dwarf tries to speak--]

Warn a bloke, tea went down the wrong way. Where's the honour in that? Nah, these were for after the long day, when you wanted a bit of relaxing after it all, especially when you were...lonesome. Think that's the word.

( :[ )

Certainly I can deduce of what you speak. I don't know that it speaks to the quality of the tale, though, truthfully said.

[inagutterson]

Those are the best parts! It's not the bodice-ripping--

Right there's some ripping I mean there are loving depictions but it's not all tawdry stuff and well, she's a knight. All those muscles. Swinging a blade, dispensing justice. No match for fabric. That's quality stuff isn't it or d'you need to go fight Jules?

[dashing]

Why would I fight an author over the content of such a novel? It hardly seems to do harm.

( Even if she is getting increasingly concerned thinking about Alistair's assessment. )

Have you read all the books, Yngvi?

[inagutterson]

Because that's what all artsy stuff is for? You wouldn't believe what happens if you don't get the right number of beard beads on a Paragon statue in Orzammar.

[Choppity chop. So he's heard. He's a dwarf no one can dispute him.]

I've absolutely read all the books! We have all the books. Just maybe don't tell certain parties who wondered where their editions wandered off to.
