[Whatever you do, don't tell that to Fiona. She's scary.]

It's very thoughtful of you. I wish I had an office like our personnel crew members do. Then I could set it out.

[She tilts her head.] Your augment is hindering you?

[sandhate]

[ He makes a face, like he doesn't want to not impress her. ]

Eh, it's ... It is. Sort of. It's just different here. Do you find that you can't do the same things here as you can when you're at ...home?

[bryces_pup]

Not that I've noticed. I've heard of magic being hampered here, but I don't really having anything of that sort. And just about everything in the fleet is new to me. [She shrugs.] Admittedly, there are one or two things I haven't been able to test.

[sandhate]

Oh? [ He's interested to say the least. ] Wait, you... don't have magic? Or do you?

[bryces_pup]

No, I do not. I am no mage. I just hit things with a sword and occasionally a shield.

[sandhate]

[ He chuckles. ] That I can relate to. Some of us familiar with space travel still like hitting things with a sword and occasionally a shield.

Hey, you haven't tried using a blaster, have you?

[bryces_pup]

Good to know some things carry across worlds.

[The term is unfamiliar to her; she furrows her brow as she thinks on it.] I'm afraid I don't know what that is.

[sandhate]

[ Oh my god ]

No. That's not right. You're going to come shoot things with me.

[bryces_pup]

Oh sure, I'd always like to learn how to wield another weapon. [A pause as a thought occurs to her.] Are they anything like the guns they have on the ships?

[sandhate]

Yes, they're exactly like guns. [ He shrugs ] We just tend to call them blasters where I'm from.

[bryces_pup]

Ah! Then I have fired one. It's... I found it strange. It's quite different from what we have in Thedas. Something that little capable of causing that amount of damage is... impressive. And disturbing.

[sandhate]

Nothing beats a saber- sword in your hand, but a good blaster can be very useful when you need to keep distance from your enemy.

What are the guns you're familiar with?

[bryces_pup]

Only whatever is on my ship.

[sandhate]

And back in your world? Do you have guns back in Thedas?

[bryces_pup]

Not even remotely. We have crossbows and bows and arrows. That's the closest thing we have to guns.

[sandhate]

[ He winces, even though he doesn't mean to. Right, pre-spaceflight. He keeps his enthusiasm. ]

Those... have it's advantages. But blasters are so much more fun.

[bryces_pup]

Truly? I find the "kick" the guns give you when shot rather troublesome.

[sandhate]

Really? I actually like the kick. It's a little cherry on top when you get a good shot in.

[bryces_pup]

Cherry on top? I'm afraid I don't understand that phrase.

[Guess who's never had an ice cream sundae?]

[sandhate]

[ A sharp inhale, too loud to be not-fake ]

Sundaes? Do you not have sundaes?

[bryces_pup]

No...?

[oh no, what has she started]

[sandhate]

I thought you liked snow and ice! Cold things! How is it possible you've never had a sundae!?

[ catching himself before he goes on, he breathes ]

We are definitely fixing that.

[bryces_pup]

Does one necessarily bring about the existence of the other? I don't even know what a sundae is.

[sandhate]

Uh, actually. Yes. I think.

[ He rubs his temples ]

It's... It's a dessert, alright. I won't tell you anymore, you have to try it. I don't want to spoil the experience!

[bryces_pup]

Ohhhh fine. Have it your way. Just don't leave me waiting too long in suspense, hm?
