[ He wasn't dropped on his head that often as a child. Common sense isn't unknown to him, thankfully. ]

I seem to get that a lot. Is there some sign over my head making others think that?

[He isn't stupid. Just...Alistair.]

[poisontippedcure]

[There's something for sure. But she's trying to be nice today. At least, a little bit.]

I'd more say it's your disposition. Even from a distance, you come off as someone who's extremely gullible.

[A little bit.]

[reluctantbastard]

I'm not sure if I should be insulted or to thank you.

[Because, god was that some backhanded bullshit. At least it wasn't as barbed as Morrigan's comments usually are.]

You know, you remind me a bit of a mage I knew. She, uh, wasn't very friendly a lot of the time.

[poisontippedcure]

Well, it's always better to be aware of one's weaknesses, is it not?

[Translation: He should probably feel insulted. Also, she gets that. A lot.]

[reluctantbastard]

There's some truth in that. And I've got a pretty clear idea of what those are for myself.

[No one can drag Alistair down better than he can, after all. Besides, there are others that are ready to point out his faults in case he forgets.

Thanks Isolde and Anora.]

I just... Do you normally go around insulting perfect strangers?

[poisontippedcure]

Fair enough. If you're aware of your own weaknesses, you're already better than most.

[Because she's watched as too many people bit off more than they could chew, with only her left to pick up the pieces.]

I wouldn't call them insults, merely honesty.

[Translation: Yes.]

[reluctantbastard]

Thank you. I think?

[Somehow, talking to this strange woman is harder than fighting Darkspawn. At least Morrigan was someone he pretty much knew where she was coming from. Considering how their acquaintance started off, anyway.]

No, there becomes a point where you're so honest that you're pretty much clubbing others over the head with it. You passed that about ten leagues ago.

[poisontippedcure]

[Rose's claim to fame has never been that she's easy to have a conversation with, and Alistair managed to catch her on a bad day.]

So you say, but you might be surprised. Sometimes brutal honesty is the difference between life and death.

[Not here, but sometimes.]

[reluctantbastard]

[Look, he would take a fight with a Hurlock Emissary right now over talking to her. Or... Morrigan. Yes, at least with the witch he knew were her barbs would strike.

It didn't make them sting any less though.]

Ah, yes, I'm all for honesty. Lies really don't get you anywhere. But, sometimes there's such a thing as too much truth. Even in life or death situations.

[He looks around the market for anything that might attack.]

I don't think that applies in this case.
