AS SAID BY LELIANA - ROMANCE * lines taken from the leliana romance in dragon age: origins
what i'm trying to say is... is that i trust you. i'm comfortable around you. i know you'll be there when i need you.
well... aren't you sweet and attentive?
oh, the games you play.
did you know your eyelids flutter when you dream? and you have such pretty eyelashes.
listen, i want to spend the night with you. there, i said it.
where's the fun in that?
now come with me before i lose my patience.
i do not regret any of the pain, the anger, the loneliness... because it brought me to you.
i... love you. it's so wonderful to say that to someone again.
there isn't much more i can say. my feelings have been laid bare. you are... very special to me.
i'm here for you.
i might need some company... and you're not too irritating. you're welcome to come along if you like.
it is settled then. you and i... wandering the world, seeking our fortunes. i can't wait.
maybe you should let your softer side show more often.
i enjoy those nights when we stand guard together, talking to pass the time in those small hours.
sometimes following your heart, not your head, leads you to remarkable places.
i enjoy the nights at camp. the night always seems more peaceful to me. safer.
sometimes i succumb and fall asleep, and wake to find you still watchful and i know you're watching out for me.
you are our leader, and my friend, and... sometimes i think that maybe we could be more than that.
i knew this would come up sooner or later.
even in the midst of this darkness, there is hope and beauty. have faith.
no more lies between us, at least in this.
it feels good to have this off my chest. thank you for listening, and understanding.
flowers? for me? oh... they're beautiful.
thank you so much for remembering.
this story is one of my favorites, a tale of love so great and so enduring that it defies death and moves the gods to action.
sometimes i ask myself, does such a love exist? can it exist?
i never expected you to say that. it is... a pleasant surprise.
i have to say there is a certain severity to you. finding a person behind that all is nice.
i'm not embarrassed! i'm just... flushed because of the heat...
you often show signs of intelligence and you're fairly good looking... most of your facial features are in the right place.
you're already helping so much by listening to me.
people are starting to look at me strangely. we will speak of this again, i promise.
you don't know how it makes me feel to hear you say that.
now it's getting late. i think i might... turn in early.
i can't help thinking about how soft and warm my bedroll is.
you know i enjoy your company.
it would be nice if you came with me.
stop pretending you don't know what i want.
i've been up for some time, but yes, i slept very well.
i've just been watching you sleep.
knowing you will be the first thing i see when i wake gives me no small amount of comfort.
i feel safe in your arms. safe, loved, and accepted. this is where i belong.
you are my dearest friend and my love. you lit my path through darkness and i will stand with you, to whatever end.
i imagine that whatever you get up to, it'll be anything but boring.

AS SAID BY NEVE GALLUS - PARTY BANTER * assorted banter from dragon age: the veilguard
we're under fire! look out!
i've got you covered.
that's one way to handle it!
we're getting somewhere!
might want to stay quiet.
well, isn't that a treat?
i'll take your word for it.
you helped me as much as i helped you.
do i want to know where this is going?
what do you need?
guess i'm still stunned.
it's easier to hide.
a stake out's easier in the dark.
does it bother you?
it'll be just like old times.
you ran into him?
he was the meanest pie maker i ever met.
what was it doing in the middle of a crowded market?
where's the truth start and the rest begin?
that's how the whole job started.
i heard you and [name] arguing.
sounded like you were ready to kill each other.
i get why you're worried about [name].
we need both sides of the coin to have a shot at this.
the place has quite the atmosphere.
i heard it from a friend of a friend's cousin.
fair enough.
they seem like the types to enjoy a spooky story or two.
is fighting monsters about the hunt or about the victory?
you've got a funny idea of fun.
are we going to sell flowers?
guilt comes out in funny ways.
you hear something different?
you know [name]. probably sprained an ankle.
you want to know if i've tried it myself.
you keep things quiet.
he walked into my office.
there's a case. i've got a lead.
i'm not sure yet, but i'll get back to you.
you don't need magic for that.
i'm connected. whether it's well connected depends on who you ask.
i probably know someone.
that step's a formality.
someone's always willing to take a chance.
who's going to stop it?
you wonder why i'm busy.
someone's been visiting the fancy part of town.
i'm a sucker, that's all.
right, should have guessed.
you've done well for yourself since.
i wasn't trying to pry before about where you came from.
i just notice things.
might even get some sleep tonight!
for that, i'm sorry.
you'll give it your best shot.
i'll take your word for it.
you think they'll come through?
are you getting used to your new abilities?
you're getting the hang of those powers.
this should be interesting.
i watch everyone.
we don't know that.
we'll manage something. might even make it out alive.
that would make sense.
if you ask the question, maybe i can answer it.
are you mad at me for something i did in a dream?
you know him better than i do.
i'd hate for assassins to find me predictable.
don't flatter yourself too much.
i don't trust anyone on first meeting and i keep an eye on everything.
you're just so serious.
it wasn't personal.
does this mean you trust me less?
you don't have to.
find me at midnight and we'll test the theory.
it was your call to make.
i might have a weakness for seafood and candlelight.
we have our moments.
my work leads me to strange places.
you're not bad to work with.
thanks for noticing. not everyone does.
isn't this exciting?
you've got me there.
i've got the feeling i've missed something.
