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.
