A long friendship with Korrin and living through Kirkwall has taught Asher never to assume he knows what someone bigger than him with horns is going to answer to.

"I'll feel older than my dad if that happens." One day life is going to catch up to Asher Hardie and it will not be a pretty day, though his funeral plans are already noted for such an instance. It's a good thing only he can hear the way his shoulder pops when he tries to stretch his left arm above his head.

"You're telling me I lived all that time in Kirkwall and missed seeing stretch-it-out Saturdays?" If he missed the Arishok flexing he will be legitimately upset.
