"No, no, my friend, it is you I flatter. Much to my eternal chagrin, but I find that I cannot help myself." His grin widens. "In Antiva, we say that every woman deserves complete adoration, and why not? You are certainly more graceful, more beautiful, more spirited, and scented more like tropical flowers than we males. From sunup to nightfall, you should be put on a pedestal. After that... well, I can think of better places for such a perfect specimen."

Some of it is genuine, an equal amount rehearsed, but tease though he does, there is no denying that Morrigan's beauty is worth praise. He has an eye for these sorts of things.

The gesture he makes to the room around them ends in a shrug. "As far as what brings me here, I must confess that it is pure happenstance. As you know, I am no longer welcome in Antiva, and with no compelling reason to remain in Denerim, I have wandered. Let us just say I am gathering the resources I need to go back to Antiva and settle things there once and for all. A man can only be truly free when the ties that bind him are left in the dust, do you not agree?"

To be hunted for the rest of his days? Not what he has in mind.

"If that brings me to new and somewhat strange places, so much the better. I live for adventure."
