[ Almost affectionate is good enough. Alistair's heart is warmed. It almost reaches his fingers. ]

And yet you bear me, [ he says. ] Is it because I'm the grandson you never had?

[ Because she's old, see? ]

[She's in the process of strolling over when Alistair makes his dig, and she responds with an idle cuff upside his head.]

Don't push your luck. [She smirks.] Are the moons behaving themselves?

Not Satina. Look at her, she's obviously plotting something.

[ ??? okay Alistair. He's rubbing his head like her cuffing hurt, meanwhile, and he gives Teren a considering look. ]

Why do you always take this shift, anyway? How do you manage to sleep during the day? I can't anymore.

No one else wants it.

[She notices him rubbing her head and rolls her eyes. What a baby.]

And I've found, as I continue to leave my youth behind, that I need less sleep. If I'm off at dawn, I'm still up and about before noon.

[She doubts the tainted blood helps much either-- not to mention the Calling, which does in fact bother her even if she never complains about it-- but it's easier and... less frightening to blame the changes on aging.]

...one smart word from you and I'll ensure you regret it.

I've never said a smart word in my life. [ He sounds vaguely offended by the very idea. Or like someone who is trying to sound vaguely offended. He overdoes it a little. But also—now serious—he adds, ] That sounds nice. If I'm ever old, I hope I'm less tired.

[Teren nods fondly in agreement, though her smirk dwindles at his second comment.]

I didn't say less tired. I just can't sleep as long. [On the contrary, she can't remember the last time she wasn't tired.]

...you'll grow old, lad.

[She looks at him seriously. This may just be her deciding so, but everyone else listens to her, so fate should also.]

Well now I don't want to, [ Alistair says, ] if I'm still going to just spend more time awake, equally tired. What a bad deal.

Yes, you poor thing. [This is spoken with the same lack of inflection, but isn't too overly unkind.]

So. What are today's lyrics?

There are no dogs in the Deep Roads, [ he says after a pause—or sings, but only barely. He can carry a tune if he talk-sings and doesn't try to project. Anyway, it lines up with the slow, mournful tune in their collective heads. ] Dogs are too good for the Deep Roads. Darkspawn wish they had dogs for their search for the gods, but they don't, they're dogless in the Deep Roads.

[Teren bobs her head along with it, eyes lifted and considering. Then she nods.]

I like it. Good work.
