"Or larger," she notes, remembering the many horrors she witnessed when travelling with Jonas. "I mentioned the Alistair before, because he and I all travelled together with the Hero of Ferdelden." And Zevran and Shale and Morrigan, but the Hero of Ferelden was so much associated with the Grey Wardens that it marks Alistair's relevance over the others. "I can't say that Alistair appreciates a good pun, unfortunately."
He can't appreciate much when it comes to Jonas Cousland, truth be told, and with entirely good reason.
Truth be told, she does know of Nathaniel Howe. She knows he arrived with Bethany, from the mouth of the younger Hawke sister herself - another Grey Warden who has travelled with someone with something of a heroic reputation. Leaving Nathaniel out was no slight, she simply does not know him, cannot recommend his character personally, though she has no issue with the man, unfortunate lineage aside.

"I can't say the Deep Roads left me terribly fond of the skittering and crawling, but I can't speak for the others. Deep stalkers, ugh."
Deep stalkers were hideous, though hardly the worst of the Deep Roads. She is not sure she will ever be rid of the memories of the Brood Mother, and letting Purrelden gnaw at her fingertip is welcome enough. Perhaps not as distracting as her behaviour suggests, however.

"I think I speak for all of us when I thank you for that." A pause, and a wry smile. "I used to know someone who'd probably share much the same lament."
