Oh, don't I know it! [ HE KNOWS IT. It's a sensation he knows well, each and every time he cracks open a new installment of The Mystery Brothers or any other old standard mystery novel. ]
That's how I got good at investigating! [ Cocky? Maybe a little. ] Reading those kind of books trained me on how to pick up on clues and subtleties. You gotta admit, though, sometimes it's really satisfying to get stumped, too.
[ Because that usually meant the mystery was really well done! ...Or a total crap shoot. More the former, though. ]
[ definitely more the former. hawke can't gush as well as dipper can about this kind of thing, but she shares his sentiments completely. she finds herself nodding along, even with it just being audio. ]
You're certainly right there. My friend, Varric, he's a bit of a storyteller. He's been looking into writing a crime mystery novel and honestly, I can't think of a better author. If he ever does and I can get my hands on one of his books, I'll definitely pass it along to you.
[ and then, she adds on because she's curious -- ]
Do you still investigate here? Into CERES and all that, I mean.
[ And SCRUTINIZE if the mystery isn't up to snuff, be he's willing to give anything with a solid whodunnit element a shot. Except for the glittery ones about the "mysteries of romance" that Mabel would try to get him to read.
No, thanks. ]
Yeah, actually, I do. I mean, they're a huge mystery right in front of us. It's hard not to get involved in asking questions and trying to figure out what they're all about, you know?
[ excuse you, dipper! varric is a wonderful author and hawke will gently push his novels on everyone. it'll be great! especially the part where hawke's the hero in all of varric's books (or at last, his good ones).
this is a win/win for the both of them, really. ]
Huh. I suppose this is the part where I tell you to be careful, but I imagine you're quite aware of the danger here, right? CERES has quite a bit of blood on their hands, after all.
