<<set $player = "C6">>INQUISITOR\nWhat makes you worth protecting? What can you offer the Inquisition?\n\n[KALLIA giggles. TAERAL smirks.] \n\nKALLIA\nDo you like ice cream? I can make ice cream. \n\n[The INQUISITOR frowns in confusion. TAERAL sighs. KALLIA flushes.]\n\nI can freeze things. Pretty well. That's what I meant. //And// I'm a Healer. Very helpful. My little brother here is very good with fire too, and... \n\n[TAERAL clears his throat. KALLIA looks sheepish.]\n\nAnd... other things. \n\nTAERAL\nWe can fight. That's all you need to know. \n\n<<if $question eq "D6">>[[A: We can offer you protection.|A7]]\n[[B: You're not a good fit.|B7]]<<else>>[[A: We can offer you protection.|A7]]\n[[B: You're not a good fit.|B7]]\n[[D: You're apostates?|D6]]<<endif>>\n\n
INQUISITOR\nIf you only want to join for protection, you don't belong in the Inquisition. No deal. \n\n[TAERAL scowls. KALLIA looks crestfallen, but TAERAL nudges her, speaking quietly.]]\n\nTAERAL\nWe'll be fine. \n\n[He glares at the INQUISITOR.]\n\nLet's get out of here.\n\n[KALLIA nods, and they both leave. END.]
INQUISITOR\n You can never be too careful. Kallia Surana, I assume?\n\n[KALLIA frowns, raising her staff out in front of her.]\n\n KALLIA\n How do you know my name? Who are you?\n\n[[A. A friend.|A2]]\n[[B. The Chosen One, of course.|B2]]\n[[C. The Herald.|C2]]
//This scene takes place after the quest to find Taeral and Kallia Surana is accepted by the Inquisitor. It will be triggered when the Inquisitor enters one of the Templar camps in the Hinterlands.//\n\n[The INQUISITOR and selected companions inspect the Red Lyrium around the camp. PAN UP to KALLIA, slowly raising a frosted hand. Ice bursts from the ground, separating the INQUISITOR from their companions. They break through, raising their sword to KALLIA - she waves her hands sheepishly.]\n\n KALLIA\n Sorry, sorry! Thought you were Templars, and - well - \n\n[She gestures to her staff and shrugs.]\n\n[[A. "That's understandable."|A1]]\n[[B. "At least you didn't kill me."|B1]]\n[[C. "Lay down your weapon."|C1]]
[TAERAL enters from behind KALLIA. He is dragging the body of a dead Templar with him.]\n\nTAERAL\nKal, I found another one - oh. \n\n[He stands up straight when he sees the INQUISITOR, dropping the Templar with an unceremonious thud.]\n\nTAERAL\nWho are these?\n\nKALLIA\nThe Inquisition, apparently. \n\nTAERAL\n//You// again?\n\n[TAERAL walks in front of KALLIA, swinging a staff from behind his back.]\n\nI told you to //leave us alone.//\n\n[[A. We don't want to hurt you.|A4]]\n[[B. Paranoid much?|B4]]\n[[C. Gladly.|C4]]
INQUISITOR\n I am from the Inquisition - I'm pleased to meet you. \n\n[KALLIA sniffs.] \n\n KALLIA\nThe Inquisition? Those Chantry nuts? What do you want with us? \n\n<<display '3'>>
[KALLIA abruptly steps forward, putting a hand on TAERAL's arm.]\n\nKALLIA\nWait, Tae - they could protect us. \n\nTAERAL\nWe don't //need// protecting!\n\nKALLIA\nThink about it! No Templars, no traps - a bed, //food// - Tae, come on. \n\n[She beams at the Inquisitor. TAERAL looks unsure.]\n\nBeing a fugitive lost its spark after the first six months. \n\nTAERAL\n...You'd ensure our safety?\n\n[[A: We would.|A7]]\n[[B: No.|B7]]\n[[C: What can you offer?|C6]]\n[[D: You're apostates?|D6]]
INQUISITOR\n It happens a lot - //I'm// just glad I'm not an icicle right now. \n\n[KALLIA giggles.] \n\n KALLIA\n You would've thawed out. Who are you?\n\n[[A. A friend.|A2]]\n[[B. The Chosen One, of course.|B2]]\n[[C. The Herald.|C2]]
INQUISITOR\nThe Herald of Andraste, according to damn near everyone. I'm here with the Inquisition. \n\n[KALLIA sniffs.]\n\nKALLIA\nThe Inquisition? Those Chantry nuts? What do you want with us? \n\n<<display '3'>>

INQUISITOR\nWe'd be happy to offer you protection, if you joined us. \n\n[KALLIA claps her hands. TAERAL looks uneasy.]\n\nKALLIA \nExcellent! It'll be a pleasure working with you, I'm sure. \n\n[TAERAL grimaces, and reluctantly shakes hands with the INQUISITOR.]\n\nTAERAL\nThis better be worth it. \n\n[END.]
