"I have a rather spectacular nose." It is, possibly, one of the dumbest things he can say. The last thing he needs is to draw attention to his physical appearance. The second last thing is to flirt with someone who has the connections to figure out the truth of his identity. And here he is anyway.

"I can't claim my ears are that perky, but yours could do. Do you feel distinguished, Madam Leliana? Forgive me if you've a title you'd prefer." At least he can try to redirect attention back on her with this. "Advisor? Hounder of Scouts? Mistress of Crows?"

How easily is she flustered, on a scale of Aveline to Isabela? If it's closer to Aveline... If it's closer to Aveline he'll get stabbed. He needs a better scale, and he's certainly not putting Velanna on it. Maybe Bethany to Isabela. Much better. Closer to Bethany would be preferable.
