Nathaniel and Oghren

 * Oghren: The whole "quiet and stoic" thing must get you a lot of action, huh?
 * Nathaniel: I take you are an admirer, Oghren?
 * Oghren: What? No! No, well not unless--no!
 * Nathaniel: Good. Then I needn't worry about getting too drunk at camp.
 * Oghren: Heh. Okay, I like you. Just not in that way.

 * Nathaniel: My brother used to drink like you do, dwarf.
 * Oghren: Fun fellow to have around then, your brother?
 * Nathaniel: He could find his fun almost anywhere. And then he would vomit on your shoes.
 * Oghren: Ah, good times.

--


 * Nathaniel: Have you ever thought of returning to Orzammar?
 * Oghren: Not sure I can. Technically, I'm a surface dwarf, now.
 * Nathaniel: Why "technically?" You don't know for certain?
 * Oghren: It's not like they send you a letter. "Congratulations! You have been ejected from the warrior caste!"
 * Nathaniel: Do you care?
 * Oghren: Sometimes. Then I drink more and it goes away.

--


 * Nathaniel: Allow me to say, ser dwarf, that you are a frightening force on the battlefield.
 * Oghren: Is this a joke? I only let loose that time because I was surprised...
 * Nathaniel: No, it... it was a compliment.
 * Oghren: I don't get many of those.
 * Nathaniel: I don't see why. Your skills are--
 * Oghren: (Belches)
 * Nathaniel: Okay, yes. I think I do see why.

 * Oghren: You're Rendon Howe's little blighter.
 * Nathaniel: That's one way of putting it.
 * Oghren: They talked about you in the army. Fergus Cousland said you wouldn't ahve the stones to show your face again. But you proved him wrong. I respect that.
 * Nathaniel: You do?
 * Oghren: Yeah. Throw caution to the wind, run headlong into danger, and sod the consequences -- that's the only way to live.
 * Nathaniel: Thanks... I think.
 * Oghren: Yep. Don't you give a piss what the others think. Oghren's got your back.

Nathaniel and Anders

 * Anders: So you're a Howe?
 * Nathaniel: Do you have a point, Mage?
 * Anders: Hey, I'm fond of the Howes! I'm also fond of the Whys, the Whos and the Whats.
 * Nathaniel: How clever.
 * Anders: It's shameful how long it took me to come up with that.

--


 * Anders: You know, Nathaniel, you're just like me.
 * Nathaniel: Am I, now?
 * Anders: Everyone hates your family for something terrible they did, even though you weren't involved!
 * Nathaniel: I hope you have a point, Anders.
 * Anders: It's like you're a mage! If there were more Howes, they'd lock all of you up in a tower to protect everyone else!
 * Nathaniel: A thrilling analogy.

--


 * Nathaniel: I've thought about what you said, Anders. The comparison between my family and mages. It's idiotic. I am not about to transform into an abomination simply for being a Howe.
 * Anders: I didn't say it was a perfect analogy...
 * Nathaniel: Being a Howe also does not allow me to control your mind.
 * Anders: Kind of missing my point, aren't you?
 * Nathaniel: I am not a fan of over-simplifications.
 * Anders: Fine, fine. Your loss.

--


 * Nathaniel: You don't always wear robes, do you?
 * Anders: Not when I'm naked I don't.
 * Nathaniel: I mean when you run from the Circle. Robes would make you easy to spot.
 * Anders: So does the "I'm a mage!" sign around my neck. I like to make it easy for the templars.
 * Nathaniel: Ah, so that's how it's going to be.

--


 * Nathaniel: You seem rather attached to that cat, Anders.
 * Anders: It's more that he is rather attached to me. Isn't that right, Ser Pouce-a-lot?
 * Ser Pouce-a-lot: (Meow!)
 * Nathaniel: Isn't that name a little... ridiculous?
 * Anders: What do you think I should call him? Frederick?
 * Nathaniel: There are worse names, I suppose...
