I've got some lotion I'm supposed to give you. Opened up the stuff and it's all sparkles in there so I bet that girl appreciates my name for you.

[He's so proud of himself.]

I'm putting it at your tent. Enjoy those sparkle fingers.

[He's so good at this sneaking thing.]

I...

[He has no words. Sparkly lotion from a woman?]

What woman? Thank you, but anyone should know by now that I'm taken unless it's someone who's just arrived.

Coupe. Got me some qunari stuff if I'd slip you some lotion. Probably to make you suddenly find yourself all sparkles.

[He laughs at the thought.]

Pretty good joke if you get a rogue for it.

[But she asked him. Mister Sneaky.]

...The Templar?

[The thought of sparkly lotion had been amusing, but now he's worried.]

Did you touch it? Are you all right? She's a Templar, Oghren. They've never... Nothing's ever been that harmless with one.

You have yourself a history and they have a history and sometimes things are jokes. It's lotion. With more sparkles in it than stone in Orzammar.

[He gives a snort.]

Pretty woman. I'd get under that armor anytime.

[He's reminded again of who all believed him and stood with him at Vigil's Keep when the Templars betrayed him. No one except Justice.]

Right.

[His voice is as neutral as he can make it. Rolan had been able to skewer him with a blade because everyone thought him hysterical. This time around, he needs to be more careful.]

Of course. Thank you. Let me know if she asks any other favors of you regarding me?

Still suspicious, huh?

[Well that's what happens with those checkered history types. He sighs.]

We're both Wardens, right?

So was Rolan. And he drove a sword through my chest.

[He doesn't know that this isn't a waste. A failed attempt to reach someone who really doesn't want to pay attention to the more weighty aspects of life.]

All I'm asking is for awareness when it comes to Templars reacting to me. I'm not telling you not to try bedding her, or any others. I'm not saying don't enjoy their company if you'd like. Just simply be aware. Please, Oghren. That's the nice thing you could do for me.

Now you wait a minute. You want to know what else we both are? Disappointments. Filled with mistakes. I don't know about Rolan but if you start comparing me to someone who tried to kill you I'll kick you in the stones so hard it'll make your ancestors cry.

[He grumbles a bit.]

Next time you suggest I'm part of something that'll harm you, just remember your family jewels are in danger of my boot.

That's not what I was saying.

[Now his voice is stern.]

The Templar Wardens are the ones who attacked me. I'm well aware of it. You're not among the group who wanted me dead.

But no one listened to my worries which is why Rylock was able to lay her trap, and why Rolan was able to lay his. No one believed me when I said they were out to get me save Justice. I'm asking for the benefit of the doubt this time around. I'm asking for you to maybe pause when a Templar is passing on a gift and wonder why.

You think I didn't? I'm a drunk failure but I'm not stupid. How do you think I know what the stuff is that you're getting?

[He huffs on his end now.]

On the honor of my ancestors, I paid attention to this, Anders. I even didn't try that sneaking business for the joke.

Lotion is going to be with your stuff. You can figure out what to do with the stuff. I sure don't need it.

[Oghren has a point, and Anders sighs. He knows he's too defensive. But those instincts have saved his life so questioning them...]

Thank you,

[He finally says after a moment.]

Thank you for checking.

Remember that next time.

[He's just being a grumpy pants now.]

I'm going to the tavern to have a drink. [Many drink. But hey the grumpy will go away.]
