Bethany Hawke/Dialogue

Dragon Age II companions

Bethany's dialogue contains a list of conversations she shares with her companions.

Bethany and Hawke

During the quest The First Sacrifice, when saying you're interested in Jethann's services)

• Bethany: Maker's breath! Can't you... do this when I'm not around?
• Hawke: Run along and play, Bethany.
• Bethany: This is not why we came to Kirkwall!

When saying you're interested in Jethann's services, but refuse after Bethany's complaint

• Hawke: Fine. I'll do this some other day.
• Bethany: It's too late. The images are already in my mind and they will never, ever go away.

───────

When giving the bones you found during The First Sacrifice to Emeric

• Hawke: Recognize your mage?
• Bethany: You're horrible!

Bethany and Anders

• Bethany: So, you were in the Circle and ran away. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do that.
• Anders: You've been an apostate your whole life.
• Bethany: Exactly. It was never anything I had to work for.
• Bethany: Other people always took the risks, to keep me free.

───────

• Anders: Where did you learn your magic? I mean, you know my feelings on the Circle, but usually it's the only decent training a mage can get.
• Bethany: My father taught me. He was in the Circle once, trained there. But he got away.
• Anders: You don't know how lucky you were, to have someone who loved you and could help you. Most mages would kill for that.
• Bethany: You remind me of him.

───────

• Anders: The Rite of Tranquility is the whole problem. If they didn't have that to hold over us, we'd have so many more options.
• Bethany: Right! If we want to fight back... or just engage in intelligent debate... they make sure we can't do it.
• Anders: They're forcing our hands. There's no way to change things peacefully.
• Bethany: There must be something.
• Anders: If it's Tranquility or death, we have no choice but to make every confrontation a life-or-death struggle.
• Bethany: I know, but... there are good people in the Circle, the Chantry. There has to be a way to reason with them.
• Anders: Not if they take away your ability to reason.

───────

• Bethany: I know it didn't work the way you wanted, but... it was brave, what you did with Justice.
• Anders: It was meant well. I don't know if that's enough to forgive me.
• Bethany: It must have been hard for him, being trapped outside the Fade. In a place where no one's like him.
• Bethany: I bet he appreciated having a friend.
• Anders: He did.

Bethany and Aveline

• Bethany: Was Wesley based out of the Lothering chantry? I don't remember seeing him there.
• Aveline: He served elsewhere. He was coming to find me at Ostagar.
• Aveline: Were you familiar with every templar in Lothering?
• Bethany: How else was I supposed to know when to run and hide?

───────

• Bethany: Being a guardsman seems like a better life than being a soldier.
• Aveline: Oh?
• Bethany: My brother was a soldier. It's all about taking land and serving some king you've never met.
• Bethany: Guardsmen, they do something real. They protect people. They make their lives better.
• Aveline: I don't know if I agree.
• Bethany: Neither would my brother.

───────

• Bethany: How come you and Wesley never had children? I mean, sorry if that's too personal -
• Aveline: It's all right.
• Aveline: I was a soldier and he was a templar. We knew that our personal lives would have to wait.
• Aveline: Distance never mattered, but we ran out of time. It is what it is.
• Bethany: Now that he's gone, do you ever wish -
• Aveline: That's too personal.

───────

• Aveline: You show admirable restraint, Bethany.
• Bethany: For a mage, you mean.
• Aveline: I could also say, "for a Hawke," but yes, for a mage.
• Bethany: You have a sword. Why aren't you killing someone right now?
• Aveline: Fair point, but I can put my sword down.
• Bethany: Believe me, I have tried.

───────

• Aveline: I'm sorry I couldn't get you more information about the Circle, Bethany. It's difficult without naming you.
• Bethany: Thank you for being discreet. I don't want the templars at my door.
• Aveline: No one does.
• Bethany: Let them corral the troublemakers. I just want information.
• Aveline: Right. Right.
• Bethany: It sounds like I'm trying to convince myself, doesn't it?
• Aveline: I wouldn't have said. But yes.

Bethany and Fenris

• Fenris: You've been an apostate your whole life, then?
• Bethany: Like my father before me. What of it?
• Fenris: Didn't your family consider that dangerous?
• Bethany: There are mages who go their whole lives without ever falling prey to a demon. Many of them, in fact.
• Fenris: And if the templars came looking for you? That would not be danger enough?
• Bethany: Perhaps there shouldn't be any templars.

───────

• Fenris: You know, you cannot wish the templars away.
• Bethany: I can try.
• Fenris: Is the Circle here truly so terrible an option?
• Bethany: Do you really have to ask that?
• Fenris: You would be kept safe from others as well as yourself, and they would be kept safe from you.
• Bethany: I... didn't ask for this.
• Fenris: Nobody asks for their fate.

───────

• Bethany: Do you ever miss Tevinter?
• Fenris: I was a slave.
• Bethany: Still, it was your home, right? The only one you remember?
• Bethany: Does it ever feel strange not to be there?
• Fenris: Sometimes. That does not mean I would go back.

───────

• Bethany: So, the magister put lyrium in your skin?
• Fenris: So I'm told.
• Bethany: Does it hurt?
• Fenris: You do not want to know the answer to that.

Bethany and Isabela

• Bethany: What were you before you were a pirate?
• Isabela: I had a husband. He didn’t beat me, that’s about the best I can say about it.
• Bethany: So you left him?
• Isabela: He was murdered. By my lover. It was all very... Antivan.
• Bethany: Oh. I don’t think I’d like to live in Antiva.

───────

• Bethany: So you've... been with women. In bed?
• Isabela: I know. Shocking, isn't it?
• Isabela: You see, sweetness, men are only good for one thing. Women are good for six.
• Bethany: Six? Which six?
• Hawke: Isabela!
• Isabela: (Laughs)

───────

• Bethany: I guess you've been with a lot of men.
• Isabela: Men. Women. Elves. A dwarf in drag once, but I don't recommend that.
• Bethany: Oh.
• Isabela: Aw... you're blushing! Why? How many lovers have you had?
• Bethany: I-I never—
• Isabela: You're a virgin? Hawke, you've been holding out on the poor girl! Get her a night at the Blooming Rose. On me!
• Bethany: That's, um, very generous.
• Isabela: I'm a giver.

───────

• Bethany: That book you were reading this morning, "Hesserian's Spear"— I don't think he had a spear in the legends.
• Isabela: He does in this one. Read the description.
• Bethany: "Andraste knelt before no man but her Maker, but she hadn't counted on the archon Hesserian."
• Bethany: "Can Hesserian penetrate the tight-knit defenses of the warrior-prophetess? Will she be prepared to face the full blast of his... power?"
• Bethany: Wait a minute... Isabela! This is a vulgar thing!
• Isabela: You want to borrow it?
• Bethany: No!
• Isabela: You sure? It has pictures!
• Bethany: Not listening! I'm not listening!

───────

When entering the barracks in Viscount's Keep

• Isabela: Coming here of my own free will feels wrong... like diddling a sister.
• Bethany: Why? Why do you say these things?

───────

Legacy:

If Bethany is in the Circle

• Bethany: They took the books you sent. "Non-curricular." And illegal in some countries.
• Isabela: No appreciation for the classics. Why read if it's not inspiring?
• Bethany: I'm not sure they were even anatomically possible.
• Isabela: Dream of a day, sweetness.

Bethany and Merrill

• Bethany: So, there's no Circle among the Dalish?
• Merrill: Any child with the gift of magic is apprenticed to a Keeper... in another clan if there's no need in her own.
• Bethany: That sounds nice.
• Merrill: Magic is a gift of the Creators. Why wouldn't we use it?
• Merrill: It just seems... wasteful for humans to lock their mages away where they can't do any good.

If Fenris is in the party

• Fenris: Of course, you're a blood mage.
• Bethany: Oh. Right.

Otherwise

• Bethany: But... you are a blood mage.

───────

• Bethany: So, is the Keeper... your mother?
• Merrill: I left my clan when I was a child to become Marethari's First.
• Merrill: I haven't seen my parents in more than ten years.
• Bethany: I'm so sorry! My father died in the Blight. You must really miss them.
• Merrill: I remember my mother singing to me, when I was a little girl and I'd get sick. I think that's what I miss the most.
• Merrill: The Keeper has a terrible singing voice.

───────

• Merrill: You're so lucky.
• Bethany: How do you figure?
• Merrill: I wish I had a brother/sister and a mother and an uncle.
• Merrill: It must be wonderful. You'd never be alone!
• Bethany: It is wonderful. Although it might be better without Uncle Gamlen.

───────

• 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."

───────

LEGACY

• Bethany: You're a cute couple. Do you have pet names?

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality

• Hawke: What, like Little Griffin and Baby Dragon?
• Merrill: Oh, definitely a Griffin! You can't really pet a dragon, can you? They're all scaly.
• Bethany: I'm kind of sorry for asking.

If Hawke has a diplomatic personality

• Hawke: That's a little awkward.
• Bethany: Only if it's true, and I think I have my answer.
• Merrill: I missed something again, didn't I?

Bethany and Sebastian

LEGACY

• Bethany: So, Sebastian.... you're a prince.
• Sebastian: And better, if the Maker and the pure love of your sister carry me to it.
• Bethany: Right. You're "married."
• Hawke: I know! Weird, huh?
• Bethany: Ugh. A little. Just... don't screw it up.

Bethany and Varric

• Bethany: You don't seem to like your brother very much.
• Varric: And here I thought it took blood magic to read minds.
• Bethany: I had a twin brother, Carver. He used to nail my braid to the bed while I was sleeping.
• Bethany: I never thought I'd miss him this much.
• Varric: Sorry about your brother.
• Varric: Hey, you want mine? I've got a spare...

───────

• Bethany: Do you ever wish you lived in Orzammar?
• Varric: Great Ancestors, no! You know what Orzammar is?
• Varric: It's cramped tunnels, filled with nug-shit and body-odor.
• Varric: And every person there thinks he's better than you because his great-great-great grandfather made a water-clock or something.
• Bethany: But they're your people. Don't you even wonder what it would be like?
• Varric: I have a good imagination. Why would I waste it on that?

───────

• Bethany: Are you really not afraid of apostates? Not even a little?
• Varric: Sunshine, I'm a dwarf. In case you missed that detail.
• Bethany: Dwarves aren't completely immune to magic, you know.
• Varric: No, no, no! I meant there are at least thirty people in this town who'd murder my family over trade deals.
• Varric: Who has time to worry about apostates with a Merchant's Guild breathing down your neck?
• Bethany: In that case... I see.

───────

• Bethany: Your family used to be noble, right?
• Varric: By some definition of the term.
• Bethany: Do you ever wonder what your life would have been like, if you were still nobles?
• Varric: Sunshine, nobility is just an expensive lifestyle. I've already got one of those.
• Bethany: Nobles have power, too. And responsibilities.
• Varric: Estates, servants, investments, mercenaries, assassins? We've still got all those things.
• Varric: It's sunnier here, and nobody calls me my lord. I think I can live with that.

───────

Only if Birthright has been completed:

• Varric: So... Milady Sunshine, what's your first act of noblewoman going to be?
• Bethany: A noblewoman with no fortune and no title? Looking for work, probably.
• Varric: Practicality is for peasants, my lady. You need to do something frivolous to celebrate your birthright.
• Bethany: Such as...?
• Varric: Come up to the Hightown Market and complain bitterly that there's no Orlesian silk that matches your eyes.
• Bethany: But what if something does match my eyes? What will I do, then?
• Varric: Insist that they're blatantly copying you, and demand royalties. A good noble always has a complaint ready, Sunshine.

Legacy

Bethany's Remarks

In Act 1:

• Bethany: Aren't we trying to raise money to go to the Deep Roads? Why didn't we just bring Bartrand with us now?

If Bethany is a Grey Warden:

• Bethany: Once more to the Deep Roads. I remember when that seemed so daunting...full of promise. We were young and stupid. Let's hope we're not just older.

Bethany and Hawke

In Act 1:

• Bethany: I'm worried about mother. All she does is sit in that rathole and think about Carver. It's eating her up.

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: Well, if she ever left the house, Gamlen would prbably steal that too.
• Bethany: I don't think even Gamlen could steal something that doesn't belong to him.
• Hawke: He would try.
• Bethany: I've tried to get mother to look for work, or reconnect with some of her childhood friends. But she went to visit the Comte de Launcet once, and now she refuses to try again. She says it's just "too pathetic."

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: Brooding isn't going to bring him back.
• Bethany: I've tried to get mother to look for work, or reconnect with some of her childhood friends. But she went to visit the Comte de Launcet once, and now she refuses to try again. She says it's just "too pathetic."

Diplomatic Hawke:

• Hawke: How can we help?
• Bethany: I've tried to get mother to look for work, or reconnect with some of her childhood friends. But she went to visit the Comte de Launcet once, and now she refuses to try again. She says it's just "too pathetic."

───────

If Bethany is in the Circle and All That Remains has not been completed:

• Bethany: Mother seems happier. A few years distance from all that loss...it's a good thing. She must worry, with both of us in a place like this. She was adamant I not go, last time.

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: And look what happened.
• Bethany: I'd have gone to the Circle eventually. Perhaps not so gently. Better or worse, it is what it is.

If Bethany joined the Grey Wardens and All That Remains has not been completed:

• Bethany: Mother seems happier. A few years distance from all that loss...it's a good thing. She must worry, with both of us in a place like this. She was adamant I not go, last time.

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: I don't want to think of it myself.
• Bethany: You'd better! I don't want a repeat of the last time! Not that it's possible.

Diplomatic Hawke:

• Hawke: We'll be careful.
• Bethany: She's hear that before, and so have I.

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: The don't tell her.
• Bethany: After the thought that brought us here? She's not stupid. Just...be careful when it comes up.

───────

If All That Remains has been completed and Bethany is in the Circle:

• Bethany: I'm glad mother...well, she didn't need to deal with this. Attacks on both of us... Why couldn't they go after Gamlen?

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: Good taste?
• Bethany: Unlikely given the average shadow-dweller. There are enough in your wake for a reasonably representative study. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
• Hawke: Another reason for me to like them.
• Bethany: You had reason to begin with? It doesn't matter. They're just questions, and I've stored quite a bewildering weave of answers.

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
• Bethany: (Laughs) Yes, you've left quite the trail in other matters. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
• Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
• Bethany: (Laughs) Yes, you've left quite the trail in other matters. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
• Hawke: If they hurt you I'll make them regret it.
• Bethany: Templars don't take threats well. It doesn't matter. They're just questions, and I've stored quite a bewildering weave of answers.

Diplomatic Hawke:

• Hawke: I wouldn't wish it even on him.
• Bethany: He's earned worse, by some measures. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
• Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
• Bethany: (Laughs) Yes, you've left quite the trail in other matters. The templars often question me about what you do, you know.
• Hawke: Can I help stop that?
• Bethany: Their solution would be rather drastic I think. It doesn't matter. They're just questions, and I've stored quite a bewildering weave of answers.

───────

If All That Remains has been completed and Bethany is a Grey Warden:

• Bethany: I'm glad mother...well, she didn't need to deal with this. Attacks on both of us... Why couldn't they go after Gamlen?

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: Good taste?
• Bethany: (Laughs) I wish the things lurking in the dark had such a discerning palate. It'd be almost comforting. Understandable. Instead of what I've seen. Thanks to...this life.
• Hawke: You'd have less to know about it if you were, you know, dead.
• Bethany: Sometimes I wonder.

Diplomatic Hawke:

• Hawke: I wouldn't wish it even on him.
• Bethany: No, I suppose not. Attack from the dark, no warning. I see enough of that. Thanks to...this life.
• Hawke: I'm sorry. I couldn't lose you, and I did anyway.
• Bethany: The way of this world, I think.

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: Might not miss him, but I'd still hunt them down for it.
• Bethany: Mm. I know. Can't have a threat lurking in the dark. I've learned that thrice over. It's not what I would've chosen, this life, but given everything else that we've lost... Well, you do this for a few years, you learn not to take second chances for granted.
• Hawke: You'd still rather be dead?
• Bethany: I am dead. It's just...taking it's time.

───────

If Bethany is in the Circle:

• Bethany: That corruption. I don't think there's any record of it having...that effect. But even the threat of it...anyone normal would choose to die first.

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: Keep thinking good thoughts.
• Bethany: Too many ignore it. That's why we need Grey Wardens, and why they're at risk of...that.
• Hawke: You'd still rather be dead?
• Bethany: I am dead. It's just...taking it's time.

───────

If Bethany joined the Grey Wardens:

• Bethany: That corruption...that's what I was saved from. You wouldn't have let it go that far though. You'd have done anything.

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: No worries, everything is dandy now.
• Bethany: Oh, quite.

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: And I would again.
• Bethany: I know.

Diplomatic Hawke:

• Hawke: It shouldn't have been necessary.
• Bethany: Maybe. But thanks.

Or, in a rivalry:

• Bethany: That corruption...that's what I was saved from. If you call it saved, anyway.
• Hawke: I do, and you should too.

Bethany and Anders

If played in Act 1:

• Bethany: I'm starting to see why you left the Grey Wardens. I wouldn't want to spend my whole life surrounded by darkspawn.
• Anders: That wasn't it. I meant it when I joined the Wardens. I expected it to be for life. If I wasn't prepared for that, I would never had gone through the Joining.
• Bethany: So what happened?
• Anders: Justice. Apparently even the Taint Brigade draws the line at abominations.

───────

If Bethany joined the Circle:

• Anders: You know, we're a long way from the Circle. Down here, a mage could easily slip her leash.
• Bethany: I'm not leashed, Anders. I allowed this.
• Anders: You gave up you mean. Threw your life away.
• Bethany: I accept what I am and act accordingly. I can pretend to be miserable if you want, but I'm not.
• Anders: You don't understand the stakes.
• Bethany: Well, it's a good thing you're here to carry the burden.

───────

If Bethany joined the Wardens:

• Bethany: Back in the Deep Roads. Like it or not, hmm?
• Anders: Like it or not.
• Bethany: Must be hard, after walking away from the Wardens. Not everyone gets that choice.
• Anders: You know what I chose. Or what chose me.

Bethany and Aveline

In Act 1:

• Aveline: You're quiet, Bethany.
• Bethany: We all should be. We're asking for trouble. Going to the Deep Roads so we can get coin to go to the Deep Roads. Need our heads examined is what we need.

If Aveline is Hawke's rival:

• Aveline: You make sense. Are you sure you're a Hawke?
• Bethany: Sometimes I wonder.

If Aveline is Hawke's friend:

• Aveline: I'm sure you're brother/sister will be careful.
• Bethany: Are you sure you mean my brother/sister?

Aggresive Hawke:

• Hawke: That's about enough of that.

───────

• Bethany: I-I never really understood what you were saving Wesley from. The old witch said there was no cure but I assumed he was just...die. It's so much worse isn't it?
• Aveline: Death is better than losing yourself as a ghoul. Wesley knew that.
• Bethany: I just keep thinking, what if that had been Carver...?

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: Then he'd finally have something real to complain about.
• Bethany: You're right. It just seems like we're always being pulled back towards the darkspawn. I wonder if we'll ever really be free of them.

Aggressive Hawke:

• Hawke: It wasn't. Don't borrow trouble.
• Bethany: You're right. It just seems like we're always being pulled back towards the darkspawn. I wonder if we'll ever really be free of them.

Diplomatic Hawke:

• Hawke: I'd have never let that happen to him, Bethany. Carver died a hero.
• Bethany: You're right. It just seems like we're always being pulled back towards the darkspawn. I wonder if we'll ever really be free of them.

If Bethany is in the Circle:

• Aveline: I'm glad to see you out of the Gallows.
• Bethany: Not the occasion I would have chosen but we do what we must.
• Aveline: Always?
• Bethany: Always. I'm fine, Aveline. Life is what I need it to be.
• Aveline: And what you want?
• Bethany: I wouldn't always have said so, but yes.

───────

If Bethany is a Grey Warden:

• Aveline: So, how are you?
• Bethany: Never better. Except for the slow death.
• Aveline: What should I say? At least it's slow.
• Bethany: It's fine, Aveline. I have purpose. Everyone should be so lucky.
• Aveline: If you need anything...
• Bethany: Wardens want for nothing in this life. But thank you.

Bethany and Fenris

• Fenris: You must hate the darkspawn, after what they did to your home.

Bethany and Hawke's responses depend on a variety of conditions. If played in Act 1:

• Bethany: And Carver. A little.

If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality:

• Hawke: Mother is still sick with grief.

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality:

• Hawke: Well, I hate them a lot.

If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality:

• Hawke: There was nothing we could do back then.
• Fenris: I never knew her. I'm sorry for your loss.
• Bethany: Thank you.

If Bethany joined the Circle:

• Bethany: They are mindless. What is there to blame? May as well swear at a force of nature. I don't see the point.

If Isabela is in the party:

• Bethany: They are mindless. What is there to blame? That'd be like Isabela hating the weather for taking her ship.
• Fenris: That's...an interesting perspective.

Friendship:

• Bethany: It's...taken a long time to reach it. Thank you.

Rivalry:

• Bethany: Oh, good. I almost choked on it a little there. A work in progress.
• Isabela: Stupid weather.

If Bethany joined the Wardens:

• Bethany: I have a lot of hate. But it's not so focused. It's...deeper for a Warden. It's been a struggle to let that go.
• Fenris: But you have?
• Bethany: Let's call it a work in progress.

Bethany and Isabela

In Act 1:

• Bethany: How do you stand the Hanged Man?
• Isabela: Drink enough, my dear, and standing is the least of your worries.

───────

If Bethany is in the Circle:

• Bethany: They took away the books you sent. "Non-curricular." And illegal in some countries.
• Isabela: No appreciation for the classics. Why read if it's not inspiring?
• Bethany: I'm not sure they were even anatomically possible.
• Isabela: Dream of a day, sweetness.

───────

If Bethany is a Grey Warden:

• Bethany: Still in the Hanged Man?
• Isabela: When I can be. I miss you, sweetness.
• Bethany: I do too.
• Isabela: Well, you save the world, the rest of us will be waiting.
• Bethany: Fair enough.

Bethany and Merrill

In Act 1:

• Bethany: Which would you rather have? A baby griffon, or a pet dragon?
• Merrill: Oh, definitely a griffon. You can't really pet a dragon can you? They're all scaly.
• Bethany: You've thought about this before.

───────

If Hawke and Merrill are in a romance in Act 2:

• Bethany: You're a cute couple. Do you have pet names?

If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality

• Hawke: What, like Little Griffin and Baby Dragon?
• Merrill: Oh, definitely a Griffin! You can't really pet a dragon, can you? They're all scaly.
• Bethany: I'm kind of sorry for asking.

If Hawke has a diplomatic personality

• Hawke: That's a little awkward.
• Bethany: Only if it's true, and I think I have my answer.
• Merrill: I missed something again, didn't I?

If Hawke has an aggressive personality:

• Hawke: No.
• Bethany: You do!
• Hawke: Not your business.
• Merrill: I missed something again, didn't I?

Bethany and Sebastian

If Bethany is in the Circle:

• Bethany: So, Sebastian...you're a prince.
• Sebastian: That is my lot, Lady Hawke.
• Bethany: (Laughs) I'm a mage. I don't hear "Lady" very often.
• Sebastian: You think there is shame in being in the Circle?
• Bethany: Isn't there?
• Sebastian: You were made as you are. I have yet to see evidence of the Maker's fallibility. I certainly don't see any in you.
• Bethany: I...oh my.

If Hawke is male:

• Hawke: (Chuckles)

If Hawke is female:

• Bethany: So, Sebastian...you're a prince.
• Sebastian: That is my lot, Lady Hawke.
• Bethany: (Laughs) My sister gets "Lady" a lot more than I do.
• Sebastian: You're no less deserving.
• Bethany: You think so? The templars might not agree.
• Sebastian: You were made as you are. I have yet to see evidence of the Maker's fallibility. I certainly don't see any in you.
• Bethany: I...oh my.
• Hawke: (Chuckles)

If Isabela is in the party:

• Isabela: Phew, no kidding.

If Varric is in the party:

• Varric: Choirboy is butter.
• Isabela: He melted mine.

───────

If Bethany is a Grey Warden:

• Bethany: So, Sebastian...you're a prince.
• Sebastian: That is my lot, Lady Hawke.
• Bethany: (Laughs) This life is not...supportive of delicate titles.
• Sebastian: To have a second chance, and one with such purpose, it cannot be a curse.
• Bethany: This wasn't my choice. If there's something good or beautiful in any of this, please, enlighten me.
• Sebastian: Well, there's you.
• Bethany: I...oh my.
• Hawke: (Chuckles)

───────

If Bethany is a Grey Warden and Hawke is a friendly romance with Sebastian:

• Bethany: So, Sebastian...you're a prince.
• Sebastian: And better, if the Maker and the pure love of your sister carry me to it.
• Bethany: Right, You're "married."

Humorous Hawke:

• Hawke: I know! Weird, huh?
• Bethany: Ugh. A little...Just...don't screw it up.

Bethany and Varric

Act 1:

• Varric: Sunshine? What's wrong? Not feeling well?
• Bethany: I'm fine, Varric. Just...I expected...templars, or blackmail. I never thought our home would come under attack.
• Varric: Good. Keep thinking that way. It's got to be nice to think of some place as safe.

───────

If Bethany in the Circle:

• Varric: Good to be out and about Sunshine?
• Bethany: It's exciting, I'll say that. How much does someone want me dead to attack me in the Gallows?
• Varric: A Hawke attracting obsessives with a poor grasp of consequence? Colour me stunned.
• Bethany: (Laughs) Be serious!
• Varric: Sorry, I have a reputation to maintain.

───────

If Bethany is a Grey Warden:

• Varric: You're not looking so sunny, Sunshine.
• Bethany: It's not how I wanted to come back. If I did at all.
• Varric: Now, maybe the old place didn't roll out the welcome, but it's still home, right?
• Bethany: I've spent more time as a Warden than I did in Kirkwall.
• Varric: It ain't the buildings I'm talking about. It's good to see you.
• Bethany: Thank you.
