"You can see a lot better than we can, though. I wonder what set of colours you have - dwarves can see heat, humans can't, I can't remember about elves -"

"We can see in the dark better than humans, but that's not how."

"I can see heat. - Orcs can't see, uh - purple - and we can - if you don't see it you wouldn't have named it purple though."

"...Why is purple specifically the colour that might or might not be the one you're talking about?"

Permalink

"It's at least next to purple."

"The word for the colour of heat is 'kerid'," Stalas supplies. "What do you mean by next to?"

"Kerid is next to red is next to orange is next to yellow is next to green is next to blue is next to purple is next to -" gesture.

"Aha. Yeah, I don't know of anyone who claims to see a neighbour of purple, but that's not quite how people think of colours anyway - I think artists talk about them going in a circle, with purple next to red, dwarves don't paint much so I don't know if dwarven painters would join up the circle at kerid or just sort of leave it sitting awkwardly off to the side..."

"I don't paint much either. There are different ways of arranging colors."

"At some point you can talk to an artist about it, if you're curious."

Permalink

"Maybe, yes."

"Not that I have any idea where to find an artist, but if there isn't one in Redcliffe we can look around after we're done saving the world."

"And then I can look at all their art, if it's nice!"

"I'm sure you manage better when there's an entire civilization of you, but needing to be around pretty things sounds really inconvenient," he comments.

"So does needing to sleep every night."

"Sleeping isn't a complicated skill; creating beauty is."

Permalink

"Nature is beautiful. If we couldn't do at least that well we would just live outside. Quendi are beautiful too. And singing."

"Yeah - I guess I'm just imagining if you'd landed in one of the badly maintained parts of the Deep Roads, even if you'd kept away from the darkspawn I think you would have had a very bad time..."

Permalink

"Yes."

"Although some of the places I passed through while I was down there were among the most beautiful places I've ever seen, even in ruins. But in between there were a whole lot of grimy old half-collapsed tunnels full of giant spiders and worm-faced lizards."

Permalink

"I've seen the lizards in question and I could happily go the rest of my life without seeing one again," says Tev.

Permalink

"Fortunately they are not here."

Permalink

"Yeah."

"How does money work here?"
