"Perhaps we might run a con together in Orlais. There are many such marks and I have not worked with a partner in crime for at least a decade." Idle thoughts, idle planning. it'd be some time before he felt fit enough to be seen anywhere, let alone run any manner of job but...when he did? Working it with Fate is one of the best options he can think of. They understand one another without needing to talk it out- can play off of one another in a pinch.

It's marvelous- and settles him in no small way.
