But until you definitely do, I think I will continue my spree of chair executions. Besides, mother always warned me against accepting sword lessons from handsome soldiers.

Unless he's used to having a solid steel blade digging into his back, then yes, I would have thought so. You can tell him it's with my compliments, until I teach you better form.
Are we meant to do anything special for that as well? The entire gift thing took me a little off-guard. Even ATHOS sent something. That's almost worrisome.
What do you mean, where? On the lips, if you're in love. On the cheek if you're friends, or family. And I don't know, it's just a way of greeting the new year. In France we kiss to say hello, anyway.
You need to stop telling me things about France that remind me of Orlais. No one ever warned me that they did that, but let me tell you, that was one narrowly avoided international incident of many.
And when you're Fereldan, you tend to be raised to dislike Orlais. That isn't to say I hate them all. Most of my business partners were Orlesian, albeit ones acclimated to the Free Marches.
I think Antiva is our Spain. I wouldn't want to be at war with them. Too many assassins. And it depends on how you mean war. Ferelden never picked a fight with them, apart from existing. The Orlesian nobility have this odd notion that filthy doglords shouldn't be allowed to rule themselves.
I'm sorry for your trouble, then. I couldn't discount that France would pursue interests abroad. In fact I'm sure the King would like to, but our focus for the moment is on Spain.
[ Just imagine how poorly it would go, if Hawke ever met d'Artagnan's king. Just imagine. ]
They did. Turned out our own royal family managed to survive and rallied our people to throw the Orlesians out. I grew up in the generation after that. Nice and peaceful for all of 20 years or so?

Just so you know.
And it's Dorian's reading chair.
Do you think he'll notice?

He just might be used to such a thing.
Thank you, though, for the gifts.

I don't even know if you have Christmas, or something like it, where you're from. Do you?

Of which neither celebrate the birth of some fat man in red.

We have that as well, in around a week from now. What's Wintersend about?
no subject
Wintersend is the end of winter.
So Earth's new year is coming up? That soon?

What did he send?
And don't worry about New Year. I don't think people give gifts then. You stay awake to ring in the year, at midnight. that's all.
Possibly, there may be kissing. It varies.
no subject
Also a calendar.
It's full of dog pictures?
Kissing? Where? What sort of tradition is that?

No!
Of course not.
I may have broke some poor comte's nose, however.

You don't like Orlais, do you? It's not the first time I've thought so.
no subject
I even apologized.

Did France brutally conquer and occupy Spain for nearly 80 years?

That's what happened to your country?

Did your country overthrow their leadership?
