[bouchonne]

But I thought that a father was the keeper of his child's virtue.

[rowancrowned]

Do you have designs on my son's virtue, that I am needed to protect it?

[bouchonne]

Would you protect it if I did?

[rowancrowned]

Only in the most abstract sense.

[bouchonne]

What dreadful parenting. Simply shocking. I thought parents were to lock their children in cages to prevent them from any impure encounters. So will you make an introduction, then?

[rowancrowned]

For his coming-of-age, I gave him a knife.

Introduce yourself. Formality is unnecessary. He will find your proposal amusing.

[bouchonne]

[ A heavy sigh. ]

But this way would have been so much more charming.

[rowancrowned]

My son has far more charm than I. I think you will like him.

[bouchonne]

Don't be so cruel to yourself. I cannot think of anyone more charming than you.

[rowancrowned]

Hold your opinion until you meet my son. As I said, he takes after his mother.

[bouchonne]

Ah. And she was a charmer, was she?

[rowancrowned]

And beautiful.

[bouchonne]

Deceased, from the sounds of it?

[rowancrowned]

Yes.

[bouchonne]

How long has it been?

[rowancrowned]

Nearly the whole of Legolas' life.

[bouchonne]

Oh, poor orphan. How did he end up so like her, then?

[rowancrowned]

Is one an orphan in Thedas with one parent living still?

I do not know. Perhaps it is blood telling.

[bouchonne]

One can be an orphan in Thedas with both parents living. It's a state of mind, dear fellow. But - my condolences.

[rowancrowned]

One I would hope my son is not in.

[ suddenly feeling the need to check in with legolas about that. ]

Thank you.
