Hello! [ Lowkey cheer, Orlesian accent. ] I'm Bastien, if we haven't met, and if we have—I took over organizing Jeshavis a few months ago. I didn't say before. Mieux vaut tard que jamais.
If you are new, Jeshavis is the project focusing on counterintelligence in the South. [ This is a normal thing for a printer to be in charge of. ] It is named after the Mother of Orlais. And I am Orlesian, and Madame d'Asgard, who has agreed to stay in the office with me and continue lending her expertise less officially—she is Orlesian. Au total, it is a lot of Orlais in a small space. But we care very much about Ferelden, too. Especially since its swamps might be our last bastion someday. We would like to keep it nice and uninvaded for as long as possible.
—you know, I am not sure anyone with this accent has ever said that.
De toute façon. I have two requests.
The first is for anyone who thinks they might be useful to come by and say hello. Even if it is only a vague suspicion that you might be a little useful, maybe, but you aren't sure how. There are spiced nuts and wine for you in the bargain.
And the second: I would love to hear everyone's best Fereldan and Orlesian accents. I am making lists of who can fake it. Native Fereldans and Orlesians—just the one that is foreign to you, s'il vous plaît. And if you are natively Fereldan and Orlesian, don't be be a show-off.

What would you like me to say?
[ And then, in Trade again, shaping her vowels and her speech pattern so they match her boyfriend's near-exactly: ]
I can't do a Fereldan accent, but I have got a Marcher one, yeah? Brilliant.

But I think you have been spending too much time with Matthias.

Ah! But will the wine be suitable for my, comment dit-on, delicate tastes.

[Then, with an Anders accent:] Can I have the wine now?

For a performance like that, you can have your pick. Come up whenever you have time.

No, I don't like spices. This is such a bad bargain, serrah, and unfair to me and my people. When will your office serve gruel?

What if I rinse the spice off of the nuts?

Hello, Bastien. Can you guess where I am from? I will take my wine and spiced nuts now.
