Lie and say you did? Who's going to know in a place like this?
[ hawke, that's bad advice. don't give teenagers bad advice. ]
But oh, plenty of things. Dragons, demons, abominations, horrors, spiders, darkspawn, ogres, wolves, and then the usual sentient type. Humans, dwarves, elves. That kind of thing. I might be missing some too, I tend to forget after a while.
but no, hawke actually kind of preens a little at that and smiles. jaune, you're her new favorite but she's still going to fuck with you. ]
You aren't a blood mage, are you? Lyrium crazed and absurdly set upon killing the innocent to give yourself more power? [ a slight pause ] If not, then I have no reason to put you down. Just, you know, be careful of anything involving human sacrifices.
[ there's other warnings too but, well, the blood mage thing is pretty important. ]
I-I'm sorry, you just said a bunch of weird things about blood and human sacrifices... and... oh boy...
[ He wipes his forehead with his sleeve, as if he might pass out any moment. Hawke, you are truly the ultimate senpai. Seriously, Sousei who? ]
Here. Take it. [ He reaches for his belt pouch and is shoving a bunch of snack coupons at her. With all due respect!!! ] I... don't think I ever wanna eat again.
[ that sousei guy doesn't know anything. come to her, jaune. let her teach you how to really fight. it involves lots of dirty tricks and smug catcalling.
but... oh?? okay?? she just... takes the coupons anyway and holds the bundle to her chest, slightly bemused. ]
Er. [ ??? ] Thanks.
[ ... she shouldn't just leave it like this. ]
What's your name anyway? I'm Hawke.
[ hawke, you just gave a one word name that's the same as a bird of prey. you aren't even trying to be less intimidating here, are you? ]
[ No, Jaune. Try again, this time with less nerves and awkward anxiety around a killing machine. ]
Arc.
[ He shakes his head, what is he doing?! ]
Jaune Arc! T-That's it! That's... yeah, that's my name. But you can call me Jaune. I mean-- well, everyone calls me Jaune. That's... yeah. [ breathe. ]
[ Because someone is already calling him Owl-kun based on ONE (1) incident involving a disguise with a fake owl hat, that's what's wrong. ]
N-Nothing, I'll be a sparrow or a rooster or anything you wanna call me!! Birds are perfect, they're great. You're great! Birds are the greatest animal species in the universe!!

I find your gasp of surprise quite insulting. I'll have you know, I'm a fairly competent slayer of things.
[ hawke, now you're just fucking with him. ]
no subject
But I guess it's just good enough to know someone who has.
...Wait a minute. What... what else have you slayed?

A-All of those things?!? I mean, I get demons and spiders and such, but... couldn't you just... you know... talk it out with the humans and dwarves?!
[ Probably because the diplomatic route yields less loot and EXP, Jaune. ]
no subject
They usually attack me first, if it helps any.
[ not that she cares very much but it's nearly always in defense. ]
no subject
Holy Dust... you... you might be an actual certified badass.
W-With all due respect!!
Please don't kill me.

If you'd like, I can call you Owl.
[ and then she pauses, thoughtfully. ]
Though, I'd say you look much more like a Sparrow.

[ well. no. he's taller than her so she can't say he's too little for anything bigger but. uh.
an awkward pause before in a very offended tone! ]
What's so wrong with birds?

--No offense.

I'm Ferelden.
[ wait he doesn't know what that means, hm. ]
Dogs? Much better than birds.
