[Gosh, it's such a strange feeling. He talks about Barry all the damn time, whether people want it or not, but being asked - being asked by someone important. It's amazing, the little things you miss. Those small moments in life that build up to the big ones.
A soft smile steals over his face, something simpler and sweeter than anyone has ever seen in Kirwall. It's all trust and safety and walls torn down in a way no one in his old life ever managed.]
In his world, he's a superhero. [Said with a grin as he turns to the fridge for frozen pizza retrieval.] You see that? Press the button that says bake and then the arrows until it's at 375, then press start.
[He has some toppings to add while gushing about bae.]
He's got powers. I thought he was a mage at first - I mean, his powers still seem like magic to me - but on Earth they're just a different sort of human, I guess.
And it's amazing- he can run 14 times faster than the speed of sound. [He turns to Fenris in the middle of laying down pepperoni, still awed after all this time.] Did you know sound has a speed? And things can go faster than it? And he can make lightning if he runs fast enough, and go through solid objects- and he vibrates!
[ EGG. PLANT. EMOJI. ]
You'd think all that power is a road straight to crazy and villainy, but he's better than anyone in Kirkwall. He uses it to protect his city from evil. And he's really, really smart about things we've never even heard of in Thedas, and solves crimes for a living.
[God this man is? amazing???]
And unlike some people, when he protects his city he's actually good at it.
