Baby Griffon for Merrill
Merrill: If you could do anything - just anything at all - what would you do?
Bethany: That's easy. Be normal. No magic, just... normal.
Merrill: Really? You wouldn't fly across Thedas or eat a cake the size of Kirkwall? Keep a baby griffon for a pet?
Bethany: Well, now that you say it, the griffon might not be so bad.
Merrill: I'd name mine Feathers.
Bethany: You're a cute couple. Do you have pet names?
Hawke: What, like Little Griffon and Baby Dragon?
Merrill: Oh, definitely Griffon! You can't really pet a dragon, can you? They're all scaly.
Bethany: I'm kind of sorry for asking.
Merrill: Do your stories ever have griffons in them?
Varric: Kind of tricky because they're extinct. You can work a griffon attack into a town but it takes skill.
Merrill: I was thinking more like... heroic griffons. The sort that swoop in and save the day.
Varric: Daisy, haven't you heard? Swooping is bad.
Merrill: Oh.
Varric: I could do heroic charging, though. You want me to call him Feathers?
Merrill: Yes! And make him extra fluffy!
Merrill: If you weren't a pirate, what do you think you would've been?
Isabela: I haven't given it much thought. Maybe a poet? (Laughs)
Merrill: You would've made a great griffon-wrangler.
Isabela: I'm sorry... what?
Merrill: You're so quick and clever. You'd be perfect. And you'd get a baby griffon for me, wouldn't you?
Isabela: Kitten, if griffons existed, and if I was a... griffon-wrangler and not a pirate, yes. I would find you a baby griffon.
Merrill: Thanks. I've always wanted a baby griffon called Feathers.
And for Fenris too...
Merrill: You know, Fenris, you should get a pet!
Fenris: I'm afraid to ask what brought this on.
Merrill: On the way here, I saw a noblewomen in a gown made completely out of fur! I thought she was a bear at first!
Fenris: So I should keep an Orlesian noblewoman as a pet?
Merrill: Orlesians would make terrible pets! They'd complain all the time! No, I was thinking of a griffon.
Fenris: Somehow, I should have expected that.
