[The nudge is met with a grin.] Maybe? Did I also mention he was hired to kill me when I first met him? Obviously that didn't stick.

Sigrun is damn cool, she's also Legion of the Dead, so she was dedicated to killing darkspawn even before I got to her. And yeah, I only know as many kings as I do because during the Fifth Blight absolutely no one had their shit together, and I had to wade in and fix that. It was the only way I was going to get my damn treaties. At least now I can enjoy the perks, like a room at the palace whenever I visit.

[She watches Barkspawn nuzzle Laura's hand, chuckling at his endless capacity for affection.]
