Hello, my friends. And my total strangers.

[ Those are the only two options. Enemies are for other people. Unless someone considers anyone with an Orlesian accent—and not even a particularly noble one, from the vowels—to be an enemy. Or maybe anyone who sounds too pleasant on a Sunday morning. In that case: swords at dawn. ]

I was thinking about how many popular heroes have a sobriquet. The Black Fox, now the Black Hart. The Nightingale.

Now that I am saying them aloud, they are mostly animals.

Setting aside how arrogant it would be to give one to yourself. If you could choose a pretentious epithet for the history books, or one for your friends—

It does not have to be an animal.

[ Yes it does. ]

I am not sure. Not something as regal.

[cozen]

No? Not a lioness?

[swordproof]

I cannot picture myself as one.

[cozen]

Perhaps an artist could help you visualize it.

[ And that's how Six and Bastien invented furry art for Thedas. ]

[swordproof]

I do not think I need an animal drawn for me. [ Thoughtful, softer; ] Perhaps a dove.
