Varric: How Hostages Work

Transcript:

Inquisitor: No sign of the Avaar who want to challenge me. Or of the Inquisition's soldiers.

So their high and mighty Herald has a secret, right? He guards it, the way some people scratch their arses when you’re not looking, but Sera’s found it out:

He can smile.

His mouth twitched, when he saw the no breeches. He got it, just for a second – not in that ha-ha-aren’t-you-quaint way that gets an arrow in the eye; he looked embarrassed that he got it, and that's how you know it's real. And then it was all gone behind the creepy calm and the big shield. Sometimes he only looks alive when he’s bashing stuff. Probably just because it’s hard to be all far away when you’re headbutting some templar.

Thing about Jennies is they find secrets. They press advantages. You can’t just see something like that and then leave it, yeah?

See, Sera gets making yourself big and ugly and loud because you’re scared. Standard noble shite – and he is a noble, no matter how much he goes round dressed in mud and looking like he’s rubbed his face in a load of charcoal. Thing is, usually after they've got the scare in, they'd be using it.  Sticking round, ordering people about. Not scurrying off to the forest to brood. Or going all closed-door behind the eyes whenever someone tries to ask them what to do next like they’d know.

When you try to look that big, it just means you're small. Obviously. But she forgot you could mean that the other way, right?

The Herald’s kind of a weirdo, is what she’s saying. It’d be easier if he was an arsehole. She knows what to do with arseholes. Though not as much as he does, from some stuff she’s heard. Ha. Maybe they’re into big and sad and creepy in Ostwick or whatever.

It wasn’t that weird when she found out from her people the Inquisition had helped them out with a smash-and-grab. That was easy. They’ve got the people. Big showoffy noble thing to do. Probably just the talky one in gold, anyway. She’s nice, but it’s professional nice, not real nice.

And when she got some mage freezing her bow hand into place so she couldn’t put an arrow into those beady little eyes (too much and too helpless and this is why she hates magic and arsehole), and the ice cracked all sudden and was just gone and there was this weird… ripple, that was just templar shite. He looked at her a second, with this little line in his forehead, and that was just – what, he thought she was going to break because she was small and skinny and pointy? She was fine, and she told him that.

The meat, though. That’s weird. Barber – even though he’s a hunter, right, so the name’s funny – said that some big bastard in all this paint and mud came back to the Crossroads with a load of rams. Cause people were hungry. Spent hours hunting. And Vale said something about blankets.

“What's your name?” she asks, the third time they tramp back into Haven, the two of them covered in demon gunk. “And not the Herald, yeah?”

“Trevelyan,” he says – family first, noble like, because it’s the only bit anyone ever cares about. Though something sad goes through his eyes for the smallest bit before he’s tucked it in again. Keeps doing that, keeps chucking it behind a scowl or that weird face that Cullen does too sometimes, like looking into a pond. Flat, boring. All you see is yourself, staring like a moron. The voice doesn’t help, either. All posh and soft, weird with the face and the scary. Harder to read. He adds something, quieter, like Had-a-bad.

Well, yeah. Galahad Trevelyan, heir of like a quarter of Ostwick, la-di-dah. She hadn’t heard of him, which is weird, though some of the Jennies in Ostwick said he hadn’t been home enough to piss anyone off yet. Not good with the servants. Not bad with the servants, either. Not much with anyone. Too busy running away. The Trevelyans are proper nobs, though, so he must be. Makes sense. Though people say she’s got to worship trees and piss leaves just because of her ears, because “the rest of them are like that”, so.

Not what she meant, anyway. He goes all pond when everyone uses that name. Like it’s what he expects, not what he wants. Which tells her...

She pokes, “No, your name-name. The one you call yourself in your head.”

A blink. A ripple on the surface of that pond. Like before, with the no breeches. Finally. Looks like he has to think about it, too: what he is, if he isn’t Trevelyan.He says, after enough time that they go by Seggritt’s whole stall, “…Gal.” And then his eyes flicker round, though he tries to be casual about it, like someone might stab him.

“Hm,” Sera says. Hm.

And then he’s tramping through the arse-end of a swamp because someone took a load of Inquisition soldiers. Not even big ones. Messengers, couple of privates (ha, privates). The kind of people who would’ve been wipers or farmer’s kids or kitchen elves before they joined. Whole lot of “coarse” accents and pointy ears in that lot. Some of them aren’t even good with a sword, though it sounds like a few left a pretty big hole in the Avvar. Good. Arseholes go looking for a fight, that’s what they get. Warlord goes round waving it about, says his castle is bigger than yours... same old shite. Different paint on old stupid.

So, what she’s saying? Is he’s gone proper snarly. Not normal snarly – she reckons his face is just like that – or “it’s pissing it with rain and it’s ruined my eyeliner” snarly, but real snarly. Angry snarly. Even when he’s not in front of the scouts or the stupid warlord, the people he’d have to pose for. “They’re our people,” he says, when he’s taking his sword out of some old corpse.

Huh. Just for a second, he almost sounded like a Jenny.

it just hits different to play dai and trespasser as a lavellan who romanced solas. the final scene after he leaves and everyone's partying feels incredibly painful, like she would somehow keep expecting to see him among the guests. she just saved the world and the one person she would like to share that joy with is not there!! meanwhile with other inquisitors solas' absence is easily set aside to worry about later. and in trespasser, it's plain tragic irony. she's always one step behind him, his presence is so palpable everywhere, but she doesn't know that. Every piece of new information she learns feels like a step closer to the inevitable end of the tragedy that is her story. it's not even like she's fighting towards something. it's like the story has already been written and she's simply finding out the ending.

I doodled my Warden, Hawke, and Inky a while back when testing a pencil lead. I finally got around to finishing up the splash of color I had been adding.

My Inquisitors in Dragon Age: The Veilguard 🤌😌💜

Leslin Trevelyan 🎀

Ostlehn Lavellan 🌻

Jacki Trevelyan ⚡️

Honestly it was a struggle, but I think they came out really good! I kept staring at them and kicking my feet (and maybe tearing up a little🫢)

The only one who has a lot different is Jacki because she was my first Inquisitor! How I visualize her has changed quite a bit! Do kinda wish I made the red eyeliner more noticeable tho...

i’ve always found it peculiar how during meeting the chargers cutscene the game just assumes your character automatically understands what krem is talking about when he mentions binding (though, granted, it’s all very unsubtle). like, this is a roleplaying game. what if i want to play a character who just doesn’t get it
