Right, gotta ask since it's been nigglin' me like a loose tooth for a bit now Inquisition, what d'you all know about dwarves? Rifters you don't get a free pass unless you fell out the skies yesterday, s'not like we're a rare sight but, y'know, 'specially since we've been here a while now and-- [there's a little edge to his voice, he coughs to clear that, can't sound like he gives a shit, just the damp and the smoke lingering yeah?] you've been with lots of dwarves. Lot of my family even!

Might get invited to Sunday dinner if you play your cards right but word to the wise, maybe don't? Politely decline. But not too polite yeah? [Don't know what you'll be served on a Darktown dinner table do you now?]

I'm sure a lot of people would, Yngvi. Thing is that roof and those meals come with a price. For many you're taken away from family and friends - often put there by them - and you cannot leave those walls, save perhaps those with rank and permission. You are watched around the clock by armored men and women who often expect you're going to do something wrong. And when the higher-ups think you're ready, you take a test. If you do not pass... the results can be deadly.

[Sam's voice is calm, having taken no offense to what was being said. It's a conversation he's had many times, not the first time he's heard the same reasoning that Yngvi was giving. He gets it. Even so he has to point out that the reasoning isn't as rosy as people think it is. It's a cost of freedom. Some people could live with it, but he couldn't.

Ah. Asher. That's a name he hadn't uttered for a while. Not that he had forgotten, but simply because those he could talk to still carried a great deal of hurt from his passing.]


How old were you when you left Kirkwall? Is it nice being back? [He knows he's asking a lot of questions, but the thing is he isn't going to know more unless he does. He only knows general stuff about dwarves, mainly those from Orzammar during his weird... trip, and clearly that doesn't completely apply here.]

[OoC: Ugh, sorry. Thought I had responded to this. It's cool if you want to wrap things up for newer things]

[On his end Sam winces, holding the crystal a bit further from his face as the bitter words come charging over the device. He listens, but honestly he's trying to pay attention to what's behind the words. Even if he cannot follow everything Yngvi says, he can definitely feel the anger and pain being vented.

Though their lives are vastly different, there are definite similarities. Something to keep in mind, but right now it was probably best not to keep poking that particular subject. That isn't what this was all about after all.]


Invaded again? ... You mean the Inquisition?

[He's not going to comment about 'family dinners sound nice'. Even if it's something he wants, he's not sure if it's a good thing in this case?]

I suppose someone is always going to feel that way...

[Unfortunately there wasn't a way to appease every single person, though this was the first time hearing their arrival as an invasion.]

And what about you, Yngvi? You feel that it is an invasion? I'm pretty sure we came with permission and the only reason we even came was because we needed a place further north to start fighting against Corypheus's forces.

[Sam sighs lightly on his end. That didn't really answer his question, but it sounded like the bottom line was that Yngvi was honoring Asher's wishes. This was no longer 'questions about dwarves', this was turning into something else.]

I agree, not everyone is going to agree or like it, but can't change that we're here now. All we can do is try and help each other at this time...

I'm sorry that people got hurt during it, that you lost some in the process.
