Cato has both a Tevinter accent and a southern accent and he can flip back and forth between them with ease. When he talks to his parents via crystal, he uses his southern accent. Fenris thinks it’s really weird and a bit unsettling to hear Cato speak with a Tevinter accent. Hawke thinks it’s funny.

Most members of the Veilguard don’t know about Cato’s identity yet. Varric and Harding are the only ones who know who he really is at this point, and Cato has forced himself to keep his Tevinter accent even with them for years, to minimize his risk of his true identity being exposed.

He’ll tell the others at some point. I’ll know the moment when I see it. For now, everyone thinks he’s Cato Mercar who grew up in Minrathous, and there’s no need for them to know otherwise.

Solas knows the truth, and that’s been fun.

#dragon age #Cato Hawke #Rook #already thinking about who’s going to be upset with him when they find out and who’s going to shrug it off #Neve already suspects. She’s pretty sure he’s living under a fake identity but doesn’t want to dig TOO deep because she knows he’s an ally #she trusts him #and she knows there are a lot of reasons why a Shadow Dragon might be using a fake name and lying about where they’re from #She also trusts that the higher-ups in the Shadow Dragons know who he is and also that Varric knows who he is #which they do #Taash doesn’t suspect but also gets it when the truth comes out #they have their reasons #Lucanis and Emmrich just deeply will not care honestly I think #Bellara and Davrin might be a little hurt but it’ll only take one conversation to smooth it over #’’How do you know when it’s the right time to trust someone with a secret that could get you both killed? No one ever taught me that.’’#Harding already knows. She remembers when Rook was just a teenager who snuck into Adamant with the Inquisition mages
