It's obvious that he's teasing her, but that doesn't make it any easier for Hermione to get past that without flushing. Luckily, he seems to drop it easily enough, and so she's more than willing to chat about anything but his nose or any other part of his body, intriguing as his entire sort-of-human-but-also-sort-of-Qunari situation might be.

After hearing what he has to say about Guardians, Hermione frowns just slightly. "So you... died?" she asks uncertainly. "And when you came back, you had no memories of your former life? You must have been privy to the secrets of the Awoken during your lifetime, so...."

But that's only one of many questions she has, and as she looks down at the sketch he points out to her, she asks, "Who brought you back? And how? And why? Why you, I mean? Is there some method as to whom gets picked to be a Guardian?"
