An idea about what I've walked into! How novel. I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the possibility of a looming doomsday, [the Dragon bites in minor annoyance. As if it's obvious he's dealt with this shit before. No, of course it isn't, but he's perpetually obtuse about conveying his side of the story.] What the devil is the difference between court politics and civil wars in one nation compared to another? Mankind's pathetic nature isn't any different here than in my realm. Or dwarfkind, or elfkind, whatever civilizations carry on here.

And don't you give it another thought: I'm not going to exacerbate any civil wars or stroke any politicians' egos. If those pompous blowhards want to throw armies at each other, that's their sword to fall on, blood on their witless and careless hands. [A deep sigh. He adds heavily, demonstrating that he definitely holds more than a small notion of the gravity of Thedas's problems, if not its minute details,] The Inquisition did a fair job of giving me the basics about rifters and Blight when I arrived. Civil wars are a monstrous distraction that works in real evil's favor. If the Inquisition is at the head of efforts to spare this realm from getting swallowed up by corruption and meaningless wars, then of course I've got skills to aid them. I'm not stupid.
