[There's a heavy sigh before he speaks; the first speaker, Anders, might be having some serious regrets.]
We've a new Warden, or rather an old Warden returned to the group, and I've a warning to issue: if you're challenged to a drinking contest with a particularly smelly dwarf, do not take it. The Wardens are not responsible for what happens if you decide to ignore this advice. Honestly, your best bet is to steer clear altoge--what are you drinking now?
[There's some bottles clinking together followed by a loud belch before Oghren speaks up.]
You need some better alcohol. This tastes worst than actual piss. Funny color to it too.
That's not... Maker's breath, Oghren, that's not for gulping down! Put the remnants of the potions down and stop messing with them! If you puke or you die, you better do it outside this tent. I'm not responsible for that either.
[There's more clinking as Anders gathers up what remnants he can.]
What are you going on about? That wasn't ale? [There's a pause.] My ancestors fat tits, what was that, sparkle fingers?
Who would keep ale in the healing tents? That was twenty doses of emetic. Now step outside, because you are not going to get sick in here.
[There's now a grumble and some rustling.] Never heard of keeping something good around for pain. Got to have those potions instead. Can't just have a good ale or something stronger. Got to be... [The sound trails off as he heads outside.]
[There's another heavy sigh. Anders sounds like he's already exhausted when he continues.]
Don't challenge him. Just don't. And if anyone listening cares to bring additional ghoul's beard to the healing tents, I'm in need of it.

[It's a big thing to him, but he doesn't know that anyone else really grasps why.]

I keep forgetting you're a Grey Warden too. The hero thing kinda comes first.

[He sounds a bit surprised, and it's not just the hero thing.]
I... Thank you, Kas.

Do the Tal-vashoth talk about mages being free among the humans, much?
Private
...I didn't really meet any other qunari until I joined the Inquisition, so I'm not sure outside of the people I know here.
I know Korrin talks about it a lot and feels very strongly about it in a good way, but she's Vashoth. Not sure about the other ones, I think just the huge warrior guy and some of the kitchen staff are Tal-Vashoth.
Private
I see. You weren't raised with qunari? Forgive me if the question is too personal. I'd assumed you were Tal-Vashoth, or Vashoth, and never asked, which I apologize for.
Private
After that, I lived on the streets. There I heard loads of people talk about it, I heard every story of freed mages, and I knew the entire adventure of the Champion and more. The uprising and the hope for freedom. Some of the kids running on the streets even dared to go home again.
...but no, I never talked about it with my own people. They're dead or in Rivain.

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're here with us. You're a welcome presence and an asset. And a friend.
