Isabela/Dialogue

Isabela's dialogue contains the conversations she shares with the Warden in Dragon Age: Origins and with Hawke and Hawke's companions in Dragon Age II.
== Dragon Age: Origins ==
* Isabela: "Hmm... strong hands. Could I entice you to leave your order and sign up as one of my crewmen? I could use those strong hands at my... helm."
* Warden: "I don't know anything about sailing."
* Isabela: "The ship is the best teacher. She will guide you with her sighs... her shudders, her gentle swaying as she rides the crests of the waves."
* Isabela: "She's quite feisty, isn't she?"
* Warden: "She bites too."
* Leliana: "I do not!"
* Isabela: "And you said she was a cloistered sister? I dare say the cloisters must be teaching things other than the Chant of Light."
* Leliana: "Oh, no, no... I learned those things in Orlais. Bored noblewomen often come up with various methods of self-amusement."
* Isabela: "She's quite feisty isn't she?"
* Warden: "I thought her performance was lackluster today."
* Leliana: "Lackluster! Well, that's a fine way of complimenting a lady!"
* Isabela: "Ha! You might be many things, sweet Leliana, but as you have proven today, you are no lady."
* Leliana: "L-let us never speak of this again."
* Isabela: "Yes, I agree."
* Zevran: "I don't mind never speaking of it again, as long as we could do it again."
* Leliana: "That's a thought..."
* Isabela: "Am I getting old, or has Zevran become even more depraved over the years?"
* Zevran: "I've been about Grey Wardens. Perhaps the taint has rubbed off on me some, hmm? (Chuckles)"
* Isabela: "My dear, you wouldn't consider...leaving Alistair with me, would you? Perhaps let me borrow him for a week every summer? I'm sure we could work out a deal."
* Warden: "Would you lend me your ship?"
* Isabela: "Of course not! You would misuse the ship-- Which, I suppose, is exactly what I would do with Alistair, though I suspect he would enjoy it while the ship wouldn't."
* Alistair: "Not that the idea of being borrowed isn't terribly fascinating, but let's not forget the darkspawn. There may not be a week every summer, or any summer."
* Isabela: "Darkspawn! Is this the only thing men think about these days? What about the good old obsessions? Breasts, firm buttocks, wet frocks?"
* Alistair: "Hmm... wet frocks..."
== Dragon Age II ==
=== Combat comments ===
Before a fight:
* Brace yourselves! Here comes the storm!
* If we kill them, we get their stuff!
* Run home while you still can!
* Let's dance!
* You're in trouble now!
* Someone needs a good spanking!
* The more the merrier, I suppose!
* Come on! You want some of this?!
* Brace yourselves! Here they come!
* Looks like we've got a few more puppies to kick.
* Enemies! Everywhere!
* Good! I was getting a bit bored!
During a fight:
* I'm going to need help!
* Someone give me a hand over here!
* Alright, new strategy. HELP!
* I'm too far away! What do you want me to do? Shout at them?
* I can't do anything from here!
* Andraste's knees! It's like herding cats!
* Got a little something for you!
* Oh! That was pitiful!
* You hit like an Orlesian dandy!
* Don't worry, I'll deal with this!
* Time for some payback.
* You're mine!
* I'll make you cry for your mother!
* Too slow!
* I could beat you in my sleep!
* Oh, you'll pay for that!
* You call this a fight?!
* I've got what you need, right here!
* Ooh! Clumsy!
* You hit like my grandmother!
* I'm right here! Hit me!
* Oh, now I'm angry!
Kills an enemy:
* That was too easy!
* Who's next?
* Oh, I'm good!
* Heh! Not so tough now, are you?!
* Ha! A good hit!
After a fight:
* I need a good, long sleep when I get home.
* We had a short-lived drinking game based on how many enemies you have. It killed a man.
* Your death toll is approaching natural disaster.
* We work well together.
* And they say violence doesn't solve anything.
* Can you imagine how sore you'd be if it was your job to bury all of these idiots?
* Let this be a lesson to future generations.
* Loot the bodies!
* I'm glad I don't have to clean up this mess.
* I can't take credit for all of this, Hawke helped a little bit.
No effect:
* If the pointy sticks don't work, try the other pointy sticks!
Recovering from KO:
* Nothing like a near-death experience to get the blood pumping.
* Oh, let's not do that again.
* What is wrong with me today?!
* Oh... I need a drink.
* Why me? Why is it always me?
* Ah, I'm alright. Who needs kidneys, anyways?
* I need a break.
About to KO:
* You can -handle this, right? I'm just going to- lie down here.
* Being close to death is... very bad for my morale!
* Don't mind me, it's just a flesh wound.
* Oh, this isn't going well!
Low on stamina:
* I'm going to need to catch my breath!
Someone else KO'd:
* (If Hawke falls) Oh, you're going to regret that!
* (If Hawke falls) Don't you die on me!
* (If Hawke falls) Hawke's down! Time to panic!
* (If Anders falls) Anders!
* (If Aveline falls) Bastards took out Aveline!
* (If Bethany falls) Should've stayed back, little sister. 
* (If Carver falls) Watch Carver! He's down!
* (If Fenris falls) Oh, he's not going to be happy when he wakes up!
* (If Merrill falls) Merrill! Oh, blood mages are so dramatic.
*(If Varric falls) Varric's out! Bianca's going to be disappointed!
* Just hold on! Isabela's coming!
Taking a potion:
* And they say drinking never solves anything!
* Time for a drink!
Stuck:
* Get me out of this!
Trap:
* Tread lightly around here.
* If only that were possible.
* I'd like to, sweet thing, but I can't.
* Would you also like me to make pigs fly?
* Shall I give it a go?
* You're such a slave driver.
* You happy now?
=== Isabela's remarks ===
* (Entering the barracks in the Viscount's Keep) "Coming in here of my own free will seems wrong... like diddling a sister."
* (Entering The Blooming Rose) "Ah the blooming rose. Where people come... and then go."
* (Going near the Qunari Compound) "Oh you don't want me in there—female troubles."
* (Going near the Qunari Compound) "I need a stiff one... and a drink."
* (Going near the Qunari Compound) "Hey, I think I knew that man back in Antiva! Bye!"
* (Entering the foundry district in Lowtown) "Smells like smoke, burning metal, and aeons of misery."
* (Entering The Hanged Man) "Ah, the Hanged Man. Sometimes you want to be where everybody knows your name."
* (On The Wounded Coast) "Watch out for the squirrels. They can be vicious little bastards."
* (At The Bone Pit) "You take me to all the nice places."
* (At the Bone Pit) "There was a brothel on the sunny side of Antiva called 'The Bone Pit.' It was entirely different from this."
* (In the Fade) "Something about this place is unsettling. It's like... underwear that never quite sits right."
* (During Bait and Switch) "Aww... an empty chest is like an empty bed. What a waste!"
* (Finding the severed hand in The First Sacrifice) "Need a hand? Why yes! Yes I do!"
* (During Blackpowder Courtesy) "There's no way this Javaris stole from the Qunari. That's hard... I heard."
* (During Fool's Gold) "The darkspawn smashed the chest, but did they really have to piss on it too? Those were my best boots."
* (During To Catch a Thief) "Buck up, big girl. It's a wonderful day."
* (During Haunted) "I really should have gone to the privy before coming here." 
* (During Repentance) "Oh! I could get it embroidered on my blouse!" (In reference to 'felicitate me')
* (Referring to dragonlings) "Oh, look at them! They're like kittens... who want to eat you."
* (Referring to Ketojan) "I bet all he wants is to go chasing after thrown sticks. And someone to rub his belly."
* (To Zevran) "You're leaving? Just like that? What about sex?"
* (When clicked, Rivalry) "Your hair looks funny in this light."
* (When clicked, Rivalry) "You're like an itch I can't scratch. Or something. I'm not good at metaphors."
* (When clicked, Rivalry) "What's that foul smell? Is that you? No, wait... That's just me."
* (When clicked, Rivalry) "If you're not going to get drunk with me, I'm afraid I can't take you seriously."
* "Must be something in the water."
* "I'm sorry, I don't speak never-gets-sex-again."
* "Looking for a ditch to lay face down in? I can recommend one.
* "I think I need a bath. Do you think I need a bath?""
=== Isabela and Hawke ===
(During Fools Rush In)
* Hawke: "Stab first, ask questions later?"
* Isabela: "Trust me, it's better this way."
During No Rest for the Wicked
Beginning of quest, while talking about how to fool Velasco
* Hawke: "You haven't exactly thought this out, have you?"
* Isabela: "I haven't exactly worked out all of the kinks. Step one, we find Castillon... step two, I don't know. Something exciting happens. Step three, profit. Any questions?" (Possibly a reference to the South Park episode, "Gnomes")
In the Blooming Rose, before pretending to hand Isabela over to trick Velasco
* Isabela: Now, this needs to be convincing. And you'll need to get creative—call me names, even hit me.
* Isabela: Stick with it, no matter what I do. Velasco's a clever son of a bitch. If you waver, he'll notice.
(Diplomatic choice) I'm not sure about this.
* Hawke: I don't know if I can pull this off.
* Isabela: Come on, haven't you ever wanted to slap me? Just a little?
If other party members present
* Aveline: Absolutely.
* Fenris: Yes.
* Anders: Yes.
* Varric: Yes.
* Merrill: Yes... wait, what are we voting on?
* Sebastian: Is that a trick question?
* Isabela: I wasn't asking you people!
* Varric: Face it. You set yourself up for that one.
OR
(Humorous choice) You seem a little eager.
* Hawke: I'm worried about you. You're enjoying this a little too much.
* Isabela: I am, aren't I? (Giggles)
OR
(Aggressive choice) This will be fun.
* Hawke: I'll make it convincing, not to worry.
* Isabela: Er... now you're making me nervous.
(If Hawke spent the night with Fenris, speak to her in The Hanged Man)
* Isabela: Speaking of romance... You and Fenris, eh? That taut, controlled body, brooding demeanor and intense gaze... I hear he still wears the shackles from his life in bondage...under his clothes. You know what they say about men like that, don't you?
* Hawke: (Sighs) I'm going to regret asking you to continue, aren't I?
* Isabela: He can't find a saw. (Laughs) I had you there! You thought I was going to say something dirty! (Laughs)
OR
* Hawke: I haven't seen any shackles. You're just making things up.
* Isabela: Oh. But... I had this joke lined up.
* Isabela: You're no fun.
OR
* Hawke: Keep it to yourself, Isabela.
* Isabela: You're no fun.
(If Hawke romanced Merrill, speak to her in The Hanged Man)
* Isabela: Speaking of romance...
* Isabela: You're interested in Merrill, aren't you?
* Hawke: I have feelings for her/I'm that obvious, am I?
* Isabela: Well, that's good. She always seemed a little lonely.
* Isabela: I get the feeling the girl's messing in something big and dangerous.
* Isabela: Look out for her, will you? Make sure she doesn't hurt herself.
* Isabela: Oh, and if you do anything nasty to her, I'll cut off your balls. (male Hawke)
(If Hawke romanced Anders, speak to her in The Hanged Man)
* Isabela: Speaking of romance...you, Anders, and Justice? That must be exciting! As they say, two's company, but three is better.
* Hawke: I enjoy being with Anders, and that's all I'm going to say about it.
* Isabela: We know about Anders. What about Justice? Does he not get involved?...
 
OR
* Hawke: I don't think whoever made that claim had a Fade spirit in mind.
* Isabela: No? You don't like his "spear of righteousness" then?...
(For diplomatic or humorous choice) Or perhaps he thinks you're too good of a person, and isn't willing to smite you. That would be a shame, wouldn't it? Everyone deserves a good smiting now and then. I could use one right this minute. (Laughs)
OR
* Hawke: Keep your nose out of my affairs.
* Isabela: Oh, fine. Prude.
(If Hawke has slept with Isabela and let her take the ship:)
* Hawke: "So when do I get the grand tour?"
* Isabela: "Haven't you already - Oh, you mean the ship." 
(When entering the Blooming Rose for the first time)
* Isabela: "The difference between whores and courtesans is...well, they have nicer shoes."
* Hawke: "I don't think anyone's looking at their shoes."
(After the events of All That Remains and if you romanced Isabela)
* Isabela: "I... uh. I feel I should say... something."
* Hawke: "I know you're not good at... emotional stuff."
* Isabela: "At least your mother loved you. Not everyone can say that."
* Hawke: "Mother was all I had left."
* Isabela: "You don't really think that, do you?"
* Isabela: "Family's not just the people you're related to by blood. There are other people who care about you."
* Isabela: "Like... Aveline."
=== Isabela and Anders ===
=== Isabela and Aveline ===
* Aveline: So, Isabela. You're a captain?
* Isabela: That's right, big girl. What of it?
* Aveline: I don't remember your name on any registries. Every ship that docks has to declare. 
* Isabela: I never docked, and you're no port authority.
* Aveline: And you... are no merchant.
* Isabela: Ooh... scrutiny.
* Isabela: Do men find you intimidating? What about Wesley? Did he?
* Aveline: Isabela...
* Isabela: What? Too soon?
* Aveline: Too soon, too personal, too... everything coming from you!
* Isabela: Ooh, sore spot?
* Aveline: If you don't shut up, I'll give you a sore spot.
* Isabela: You have such pretty hair. What a lovely color.
* Aveline: Other children used to laugh at me for having ginger hair.
* Isabela: Really? Aww. I bet you were cute. Did you have pigtails?
* Aveline: Sometimes.
* Isabela: How precious! Little Aveline, running around the village with her flaming orange pigtails streaming behind her...
* Isabela: ... and little boys all scattering and screaming for mercy as she approached.
* Aveline: Shut up, whore.
(Only if you complete The Way It Should Be)
* Isabela: Well. "Captain." Can I call you captain? You can call me captain.
* Aveline: I won't be doing that.
* Isabela: Neither will I. Because you're a guard captain. No real authority. Not like on a ship.
* Aveline: Well, you would know about having a large number of men under you.
* Isabela: You've been waiting to use that one. Did you practice?
* Aveline: Shut up.
(When entering the Blooming Rose for the first time)
* Isabela: "The difference between whores and courtesans is... well, they have nicer shoes."
* Aveline: I think your shoes are fine.
* Isabela: Look at you being funny! That might even get you a man someday.
* Aveline: I had trouble with another one of your women, Isabela. She stole from a... distracted client. You're lucky she wasn't jailed.
* Isabela: My women? I am but a shepherd. And what free enterprise are you oppressing now?
* Aveline: Theft is not enterprise.
* Isabela: Opportunities insufficiently guarded. Victimless crimes.
* Aveline: Except for all the victims.
* Isabela: Details. Victimless details.
* Aveline: How are you so successful with men? You're not that pretty.
* Isabela: Cast a wide enough net, and you're bound to catch something.
* Aveline: (Laughs) At least you're willing to admit it.
* Isabela: Trust me. I've heard, "Get away from me, you pirate hag!" more times than I care to count.
* Aveline: Doesn't that bother you?
* Isabela: Why should it? They don't know me. I know me.
* Aveline: You're right.
* Isabela: About?
* Aveline: About knowing who you are. 
* Aveline: I'm the captain of the guard. I'm loyal, strong, and I don't look too bad naked.
* Isabela: Exactly. And if I called you a mannish, awkward, ball-crushing do-gooder, you'd say...?
* Aveline: Shut up, whore.
* Isabela: That's my girl.
(During The Long Road. Isabela must be in the party when you speak to Aveline after posting the duty roster, and choose, "You've been alone this long?")
* Hawke: So you've been by yourself since we came to Kirkwall?
* Isabela: Wait, you've gone four years without? You must creak like a rusty hinge.
* Aveline: Many people have their lives because of me.
* Isabela: But poor you, no life of your own.
* Aveline: We both place others above ourselves. I happen to do it clothed.
(Isabela approaches Aveline)
* Isabela: You're splitting hairs, but wishing someone would split yours.
* Aveline: I've had enough of your loose lips. Like many, I'm sure.
(they get in each other's face)
* Isabela: Oh, touché. Prig!
* Aveline: Slattern!
(Hawke steps in)
* Hawke: If I might put this back on track.
(After completing The Long Road)
* Isabela: So, how good is Donnic? Is he cocksure?
* Aveline: (Sighs) Just... get it out of your system.
* Isabela: Did he curl your toes?
(Isabela will say four of the following at random:)
* Isabela: Dwarf your beard?
* Isabela: Arl your Eamon?
* Isabela: Shank your Jory?
* Isabela: Praise your Maker?
* Isabela: Grope your grinder?
* Isabela: Establish his canon?
* Isabela: Kaddis your Katie?
* Isabela: Dampen your Divine?
* Isabela: Pamper your Paragon?
* Isabela: Grey your Warden?
* Isabela: Pudding your peach?
* Isabela: Float your frigate?
* Isabela: Explore your Deep Roads?
(The fifth will always be one of the following)
* Isabela: How about "satisfy a demand of your Qun."
* Isabela: Or did he Cup your Joining?
* Isabela: Or master your taint? That's an old one.
* Aveline: Yes, all right? He is an incredibly proficient lover. Happy?
* Isabela: Well that's rather personal, don't you think?
* Aveline: You didn't come to my solstice dinner party.
* Isabela: Look at you! Dinner parties, cooking... do you have a lace apron yet, or should I get one for you?
* Aveline: Don't change the subject. I sent you an invitation, and you didn't show up. 
* Isabela: I thought it would be... I mean, I don't know. I just don't do family gatherings.
* Isabela: Besides, one day you and Donnic will have children, and I'll be the last person you want around them.
* Isabela: Imagine all the awkward questions you'd have to answer. "Mother, what's a Slattern?"
* Aveline: I'll just point at you and say, "That's a Slattern."
(If The Long Road was completed)
* Isabela: So, Donnic was in the Rose.
* Aveline: He was not!
* Isabela: Easy, big girl. He wasn't shopping for himself. You're lucky to have a man who wants to please you.
* Isabela: But, maybe you could indulge him more. Are there areas of intimacy you haven't explored?
* Aveline: Why? Why do you give me these doubts!
* Isabela: Aveline. If you shove your thumb up his ass, I win.
(The last line depends on who else is in the party)
* Anders: Just... no.
* Fenris: (Laughs)
* Merrill: Ew!
* Varric: Ah, that old chestnut.
* Sebastian: Ugh. Maker.
* Hawke: (Coughs)
(If The Long Road was not completed)
* Isabela: So, Donnic was in the Rose.
* Aveline: Good. Happy for him. He needs to calm down.
* Isabela: You're tough on the man. I don't see how it's his fault if you missed your chance.
* Aveline: Isabela, I realize that you are always prepared for a sudden random phallus, but for your own safety, shut your mouth!
(If The Long Road was completed)
* Isabela: How's marriage been treating you, big girl?
* Aveline: It's been good. No, great. I'd forgotten what it was like to...
* Isabela: Be flipped ass over tits and hammered like a bent nail?
* Aveline: To. Be. Loved.
* Isabela: Oh. Right, of course.
* Aveline: Not that I'm complaining about the other thing.
(If The Long Road was not completed)
* Isabela: So how long has it been? Six years? Seven?
* Aveline: None of your business.
* Isabela: You ever thought of going to the Rose? They're discreet and remarkably affordable if you forgo all the extras.
* Aveline: Quiet!
* Isabela: Not that sensual massages aren't lovely, but in a dire situation like yours, you need to get straight to the point.
* Isabela: Some good old fashioned, headboard slamming-
* Aveline: If you don't shut your mouth, I'm going to slam your head against something.
* Isabela: (Whistles) Touchy...
* Aveline: You know, Isabela, if someone had told me that I'd put up with you for all these years, I'd have punched them flat.
* Isabela: And if someone had told me I'd still be here, I'd have done the same.
(If No Rest for the Wicked has been completed and Isabela blackmailed Castillon)
* Aveline: You have your ship, what's stopping you?
(Otherwise)
* Aveline: Save your bits, you'll have your ship one day.
* Isabela: And what would you do without me as a constant headache in the Rose?
* Aveline: Someone would rush to fill the hole. You know, like you never left.
* Isabela: That's my girl.
* Aveline: Maybe you win once in a while.
* Aveline: (Laughs)
* Isabela: And then he says... he says, "I swear I had two when I came in here."
* Isabela: You know, those stains never did come out.
* Aveline: You are horrible. Every inch.
* Isabela: You love it, big girl. And you owe me for the bottle.
* Isabela: Hawke. 
* Aveline: She's not so bad. Except when she is.
(During Champions and Captains, and you choose "How was the honeymoon?")
* Hawke: You never said how your three weeks in Orlais went.
* Aveline: You're right. I didn't.
* Isabela: Ohh. Shivery.
(During On The Loose, when talking with Emile de Launcet)
* Isabela: Aww, he's like you were. Do you remember, Aveline? When you were stupid over Donnic?
* Aveline: Yes, I remember. Thank you.
=== Isabela and Bethany ===
* 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, "Hessarian'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 Hessarian."
* Bethany: "Can Hessarian 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 the 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?
=== Isabela and Carver ===
* Isabela: I saw you at the Blooming Rose the other night.
* Carver: What? No you didn't.
* Isabela: I suppose someone else stole your chin to romance Faith?
* Carver: (Scoffs) That's unlikely. She wasn't even working.
* Isabela: Mm-hmm. Got you.
(The next line changes depending on your third party member)
* Aveline: Carver!
* Varric: Oh ho! Nicely done.
* Merrill: I don't get it.
(If one of the previous lines didn't trigger, and Hawke has not slept with anyone in the Blooming Rose)
* Hawke: Carver, what would Mother say?
* Carver: You're just... that's not what I... shit!
* Carver: So, Isabela. You captained a ship? That's a lot of men to handle. For you to command.
* Isabela: Well aren't you just adorable fumbling for a topic.
* Carver: You say that like I'm harmless.
* Isabela: As harmless as a pup that will someday grow into its fangs and sink them deep.
* Carver: Sure, keep teasing. I'll show you how much of a pup I am.
* Isabela: I know. That's why I do it.
* Isabela: You look like a man I once dueled.
* Isabela: He was a little intimated by my reputation as a vicious pirate, but rose to the challenge.
* Carver: He looked like me, you say?
* Isabela: It went on all night, under the stars, the waves lapping at our ankles.
* Carver: On the beach? In the surf? How did you get proper footing?
* Isabela: We didn't. There was quite a bit of tumbling around, and we were soaked and sore by the time the sun came up.
* Carver: Did you... win?
* Isabela: I managed to get on top in the end, but I considered it a tie.
* Carver: Why is it always about sex with you?
* Isabela: It's not. Sometimes it's about sex with other people.
* Carver: You see? It comes up every single time we talk.
* Isabela: We're just talking, Carver. If it comes up, that's not my fault.
* Carver: What? I mean... that's not what I meant. It... it doesn't!
* Carver: I hate you so much.
=== Isabela and Fenris ===
=== Isabela and Flemeth ===
* Isabela: Friend of yours?
* Flemeth: You speak the word as if it were cheap coin, meant for spending.
* Isabela: You don't know me.
* Flemeth: Oh, I know your type.
=== Isabela and Leliana ===
(If you romanced Leliana in Dragon Age: Origins and had a threesome with Isabela:)
* Isabela: Leliana?
* Leliana: Isabela?
* Isabela: "Sister Nightingale," indeed. I remember it didn't take much to make you sing.
* Leliana: *laughs awkwardly*
* Merrill: I like singing! Were you in a choir together?
* Isabela: Not exactly, Kitten.
* Varric: Is there anyone in Ferelden you haven't slept with, Rivaini?
* Merrill: Oh, is that what she... oh. Oh.
* Leliana: Perhaps we... should get back to the reason I'm here.
=== Isabela and Merrill ===
* Merrill: How do you do that?
* Isabela: Do what, Kitten?
* Merrill: You sort of... swagger when you walk. I've been trying, but I trip over my own feet when I do it.
* Isabela: You just strut. It's not something you practice.
* Merrill: How do I learn it, then?
* Isabela: It comes to you. Usually at night. It's like a lover... or maybe a burglar.
* Isabela: Either it ravishes you or runs off with all your jewelry. And you have to run it down and stab it in the heart.
* Isabela: And... that metaphor got a bit away from me, didn't it?
* Merrill: I think it did, but it was certainly exciting!
* Merrill: Do you really like sailing?
* Isabela: Like it? I love it! The salt spray on my face, the wind whipping by my ears, the gulls screaming overhead—I love it all.
* Merrill: Don't you get sick? I was so sick on our trip across the sea.
* Isabela: Were you in the hold?
* Merrill: Everyone was in the hold.
* Isabela: There's your problem. You need to be up on deck, under the sky, with nothing between you and the horizon.
* Isabela: Sailing is like sex. Do it wrong, and it'll make you sick.
* Isabela: But do it right, and there's no feeling in the world like it.
* Merrill: Do you have a parrot, Isabela?
* Isabela: What would I want a parrot for?
* Merrill: What about a peg leg? Do you have one of those?
* Isabela: You can see that I don't, dear.
* Merrill: Eye patch?
* Isabela: I'm disappointing you terribly, aren't I? And no hook for a hand, either.
* Merrill: Seems that Varric's pirate stories are awfully inaccurate.
* Isabela: He knows, Kitten. He likes them better that way.
* Isabela: It's not always fun and games on the sea, though. There are storms and hostile pirates.
* Isabela: And it's trying being cooped up with men who haven't seen a woman in months.
* Merrill: You're a woman.
* Isabela: Exactly. And I don't usually let them touch me, so they get... frustrated.
* Isabela: I insist all of them get alone time. Helps with the crankiness.
* Merrill: But they're already lonely! Why would you insist that they be alone some more?
* Isabela: Merrill.
* Merrill: What? Did I miss something?
* Isabela: Go think about it. Maybe it'll come to you.
(While speaking to Jethann in The Blooming Rose during the quest The First Sacrifice)
* Isabela: Ooh, I like him. He reminds me of someone.
* Merrill: He does? Who is it?
(If Varric is in the party)
* Varric: I'll tell you when you're older, Daisy.
* Isabela: Think about it, Kitten.
* Merrill: Well, you couldn't have meant Varric, because he's not even an elf—oh... Ohh! You were referring to yourself. Sorry!
* Isabela: See? I knew it'd come to you.
* Merrill: (Sighs) Why do you even like me? I must seem so dull.
* Isabela: What brought this on?
* Merrill: Your life has been... so exciting. The adventures, the duels, the passionate love affairs.
* Merrill: Compared to that, my life is a stale, dry biscuit. (Sighs) I wish I had your life.
* Isabela: No. You don't want my life.
* Merrill: Why?
* Isabela: Because you have a good heart, and you deserve better.
* Merrill: What was Llomerryn like? I've never heard of a Dalish who's been there.
* Isabela: I don't imagine your people travel between islands much.
* Merrill: Not really, no.
* Isabela: I wouldn't start waterproofing your wagons, then. I don't think Llomerryn is ready for the Dalish.
* Merrill: What do you mean? Would we upset the people there?
* Isabela: It's not really the kind of place where one turns down a tumble. Even refuse a fortune teller, and they'd run your lot out of town.
* Merrill: How do you suppose the Qunari scratch their heads with those horns in the way?
* Isabela: Why do you think I would know?
* Merrill: Because you know lots of things! I wonder if they rub their heads against tree trunks like halla do.
* Isabela: I'd pay a sovereign to see that.
* Merrill: No wonder they seem so cranky all the time.
* Merrill: You've had many lovers, haven't you?
* Isabela: Fewer than some think.
* Merrill: But you never stay with them.
* Isabela: No, why should I?
* Merrill: But the act of lovemaking is so... intimate.
* Isabela: I don't "make love." What I do is only skin-deep, Kitten.
* Isabela: Don't worry your pretty little head about it.
(If Hawke is romancing Merrill)
* Isabela: You and Hawke... something's there, isn't there?
* Merrill: He's clever, strong, and wonderful. How can anyone not love him?
* Merrill: She's so amazing and beautiful. How could anyone not love her? (if Hawke is female)
(If Hawke also romanced Isabela:)
* Isabela: How could anyone not?
* Merrill: You're very quiet today. Is something wrong?
* Merrill: (Gasps) It's me. I said something wrong, didn't I?
* Isabela: No, of course not. You could never say anything wrong.
* Isabela: I'm happy for you, Kitten. You've been alone long enough.
(Otherwise)
* Isabela: Oh, I could give you a list, but that might just bore you.
* Isabela: So... did you get naked?
* Merrill: Isabela!
* Isabela: Ooh, look at that blush. That good, huh?
(If Hawke has accepted Isabela's love)
* Merrill: I think Hawke likes you, Isabela
* Isabela: I certainly hope so!
* Merrill: Of course, it's not surprising at all that anybody would love you, but it's nice to see you two happy.
* Isabela: Merrill, sometimes you're so sweet I could eat you for dessert.
 
(If Hawke hasn't accepted her love yet)
* Merrill: I think Hawke likes you, Isabela.
* Isabela: You think so, do you?
* Merrill: S/he looks at you all the time, and then s/he looks embarrassed and pretends s/he's busy with something else.
* Hawke: I can hear you, you know.
* Merrill: (Giggles) See?
* Isabela: Hmm. I'll have to think about that...
* Merrill: Do you think you'll leave Kirkwall someday?
(If Hawke has romanced Isabela)
* Isabela: I might if I can persuade the right person to come away with me.
(If not)
* Isabela: Of course I will! As soon as I get myself a ship, I'm sailing wherever the sea takes me.
* Merrill: I'll miss you. You'll write to me, won't you? Do pirates write letters?
* Isabela: Badly. Hook hands make for awful pennmanship, Kitten.
(If No Rest for the Wicked & Questioning Beliefs have been completed and Hawke accepted Isabela's love)
* Merrill: Why are you smiling?
* Isabela: No reason.
* Merrill: Ooh, ooh! It's something dirty, isn't it? Tell me, tell me!
* Isabela: It... it isn't anything dirty. I'm just... happy.
* Merrill: Oh. That's good, too, but I was hoping for something dirty.
* Isabela: Come by the tavern later. I've got stories that will make your toes curl.
=== Isabela and Sebastian ===
* Sebastian: Is this getting you any closer to your ship?
* Isabela: Huh?
* Sebastian: I just... don't understand why you're working with Hawke. You don't seem to care about anything we do.
* Sebastian: What's keeping you here?
(If Hawke and Isabela have slept together)
* Isabela: Mostly the sex. Hawke is an absolute tiger between the sheets. I mean all night, every night.
* Isabela: Oh cute! You're blushing.
(If not)
* Isabela: Mostly the Blooming Rose. I'm paid up through the end of the year. I'd hate not to use it.
* Sebastian: The... brothel?
* Isabela: What? Women can't go to brothels, too? You're just not using your imagination.
* Isabela: Oh, look! Now you are. You're cute when you're blushing.
* Sebastian: I notice you talk about... vulgar things quite a bit.
* Isabela: Do you want me to stop? Do I make you... uncomfortable?
* Sebastian: It was just an observation, really.
* Isabela: It's a bad habit I picked up, spending years with foul-mouthed pirates.
* Isabela: Pirates only care about a small number of very specific things: the sea, strong drink, and booty. Both kinds.
* Sebastian: I used to be like you, you know.
* Isabela: You used to be a woman?
* Sebastian: No!
* Isabela: That explains a lot.
* Sebastian: My family put me in the Chantry because I was giving them a bad name.
* Sebastian: It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I found peace. I found a purpose.
* Sebastian: Before I came here, I used to be out to all hours, drinking and whoring. I didn't believe in anything except my own pleasure.
* Isabela: Why couldn't I have met you then?
* Isabela: All right, let's just get this over with.
* Sebastian: A duel?
* Isabela: No, the sermon. The finger-wagging, the guilt-trips, telling me how an unexamined life isn't worth living.
* Sebastian: I wasn't going to—
* Isabela: You weren't? You weren't going to tell me to comfort the needy and give freely of myself?
* Sebastian: From what I hear, you already give yourself quite freely.
* Isabela: Ooh. You got me there.
* Sebastian: That was very brave, coming back to face the Qunari.
* Isabela: It was idiotic. They would have killed me.
* Sebastian: And you returned anyway. You couldn't face the thought of so many innocents dying for something you could prevent.
* Isabela: Tell that to the viscount.
* Sebastian: It's frightening, isn't it, to realize you have the potential to be a better person?
* Sebastian: You've been watching me all day. It's getting a little... distracting.
* Isabela: Merrill's right. Your armor is shiny. I can see myself in it. Look!
* Isabela: Shit. Oh, shit. Is that a wrinkle? Is that a wrinkle between my brows?
* Sebastian: Um. I don't see—
* Isabela: Hold still!
* Isabela: So, I've never understood why the Chantry says if you're good, you'll be taken up to the Maker's side.
* Sebastian: Those who die with the sins cleansed from their souls will walk beside the Maker in eternity.
* Isabela: That doesn't sound fun!
* Isabela: If they really want people to be good, shouldn't they offer an afterlife with... lakes of wine and a dozen naked virgins?
* Sebastian: Anyone who wants that will be going to the Void.
* Isabela: Sounds like that's where all the good parties will be.
* Isabela: It's been years, and not once have you tried to get me to repent or turn to the Maker.
* Sebastian: Preaching seldom works, Isabela. To change a person's heart, one has to lead by example.
* Isabela: Huh. That makes sense. I can respect that.
* Sebastian: I grew weary of the strings of nameless lovers and the nights full of mindless pleasure. You will, too.
* Isabela: (Gasps) That's the cruelest thing anyone's ever said to me!
* Isabela: I think I'm going to cry.
=== Isabela and Varric ===
* Varric: I shit you not, Rivaini, it was this big.
* Isabela: There's no way. Impossible! I've had hundreds of those in my hands, and they're never that size.
* Varric: Would I lie about something so critical?
(Next line is dependent on third party member)
* Anders: I can't stand it anymore—what are you two talking about?
* Aveline: I'm afraid to ask, but... what are you two going on about?
* Carver: What is wrong with you two? Can't you ever have a conversation that isn't dirty?
* Hawke: What are you two talking about?
* Varric: We're discussing knives, of course. Well, daggers, technically. I never remember the difference.
* Varric: Why? What did you think we were talking about?
* Varric: Rivaini, stop looking at my chest. My eyes are up here.
* Isabela: But the chest hair...
* Varric: Do you know how much I suffer under your gaze? I am a person, not an object!
* Isabela: Uh, Varric?
* Varric: (Laughs) Just shitting you.
* Varric: You know, Rivaini, you promised me you'd tell me how your ship wrecked.
* Isabela: I was drunk. I thought the reefs around the Wounded Coast were made of candy.
* Varric: Oh, come on.
* Isabela: And a demon told me to do it. It bet me sixty sovereigns and a bottle of port.
* Isabela: You're not the only one here who can bullshit, you know.
* Varric: I'll let you run your fingers through it, if you want.
* Isabela: Your chest hair? My fingers? Oh, Varric, stop! You're making me quiver.
* Varric: You know you want to.
* Isabela: Oh, I do... I can't resist you. No woman can.
* Varric: I know. It's a terrible burden.
* Varric: Were you listening to that guy in the Hanged Man last night?
* Isabela: "Your eyes are like bumblebees, flying into the window of my soul." (Laughs)
* Varric: My favorite was, "Your lips are like the wings of sparrows. Red ones. With no feathers."
* Isabela: "Oh, speak! And send the plucked wings of your lips soaring."
* Varric: I'd buy the guy a drink, but I don't think he needs one.
* Varric: You have got to tell me what was in that box, Rivaini.
* Isabela: Which box? I've opened so many...
* Varric: Well, those too. But later. Right now: that Qunari relic.
* Isabela: I'll make you a deal: I'll tell you what was in that box if you tell me how Bianca got her name.
* Varric: Fine, forget I asked. Evil woman.
* Isabela: Come to me, and I'll take you to places you've never been...
* Varric: Isabela... Are you talking to Bianca?
* Isabela: I think she deserves to feel a woman's touch on her trigger, don't you?
* Varric: Bianca responds to my touch. She'd never give it up for you.
* Isabela: That's what they always say, and I always prove them wrong.
* Varric: Stop it. You're confusing her. And me.
(If you complete The Long Road)
* Isabela: Psst. I've got some of it written down now.
* Varric: Give it here.
* Varric: "Her breasts strained against the leather jerkin like two wild stallions corralled against their will." (Chuckles)
* Varric: "She pounced—the smooth moves of a jungle cat—and locked her thighs around Donnic's waist. He—"
(If Aveline is in the party)
* Aveline: What?
* Isabela: Nothing.
* Aveline: What is that?
* Isabela: Shh! (Giggles)
* Varric: Isabela just thought she'd celebrate your love affair with a... written dedication.
* Isabela: It's "friend-fiction!" I do it out of love.
* Aveline: I will never, ever be clean again.
(If not)
* Isabela: Maybe you should read the rest of it in private.
* Varric: I think that's best.
* Isabela: Varric, how does one get made a Paragon?
* Varric: The Assembly votes on it. Enough votes, and—BAM!—you're a living God!
* Isabela: You should ask to be made a Paragon. Of manliness.
* Varric: I like the way you think, Rivaini, but one doesn't just ask to be made a Paragon.
* Isabela: Why not? Everyone can see you're a paragon of manliness. It's just a matter of making it official.
* Varric: After all this, the life of a pirate is going to be dull, isn't it?
* Isabela: I know! I'll have to steal myself another Qunari relic.
* Varric: The scary thing is, I don't know if you're joking!
* Isabela: Of course I'm joking. I'm not getting involved with those people again.
* Isabela: No... this time, I'll steal the Queen of Antiva. There's no way that could go wrong.
(If Hawke romances Merrill)
* Varric: So, Hawke and Daisy.
* Isabela: I think they're darling together.
(If Hawke previously slept with Isabela)
* Varric: Really? You're not at all jealous? Because I thought you and Hawke...
* Isabela: Hawke was just a dalliance. You know I've still got my eye on you.
* Varric: Keep dreaming, Rivaini.
(Otherwise)
* Varric: It's almost too adorable. Well, except for the evil blood magic thing.
* Isabela: The most evil thing Merrill does most days is pick the flowers out of other people's gardens.
* Varric: I know, I have to bribe most of the gardeners in Hightown to keep it quiet.
(During The Last Straw after choosing sides)
* Varric: Just curious, does any of this make sense to you?
* Isabela: What? This whole "everyone's waiting for the world to end" thing?
* Varric: That, yes.
* Isabela: Not remotely.
* Varric: Good. It's not just me, then.
=== Isabela and Zevran ===
* Zevran: My dear Isabela, it has been a delight to see you again. You travel in fine company.
* Isabela: That's it? You're leaving? What about sex?
(If in a romance with Isabela)
* Zevran: *laughs* Still blunt as a dwarven hammer, hmmm? Well, why not!
* Hawke: Um, hello? I'm standing right here.
* Isabela: What? You can come too.
* Zevran: Indeed! The more the merrier!
* Hawke: Let's find someplace quieter.
(If not in a romance with Isabela)
* Zevran: Ah, Isabela. I did so miss you.
* Isabela: That's because you have piss-poor aim. Thankfully, you've other uses.
(The last line depends on party members:)
* Aveline: I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
* Merrill: Ew.
* Anders: Ha!
* Fenris: Are we sure he was part of a guild of assassins?
* Varric: That girl has curious standards.
== Legacy ==
=== Isabela's remarks ===
* "What's wrong with this place? Why don't they have one decent regular lock to pick. No, it's got to be all magic and blowy lights. Pfft."
* "The Carta doesn't usually kill other dwarves, does it? I thought that was the rule?"
* "So, no Bartrand. Who do you think's going to betray you this time?"
* "Varric was right. The Deep Roads do drive you batty."
* "If I still had my ship, I'd offer you a berth. Anything beats living with Gamlen and crawling around tunnels to make your fortune."
* "Try to do someone a favor and you end up trapped in a giant magical prison. There's a lesson here. Next time you ask if I want to help with something, I'm going to say no.
* "(Sighs) Is this the perk you get for being Champion? Because if so, I'm not applying for the position."
* "Great, now I guess we run in circles until he tires?"
* "I prefer towers full of coin to towers full of darkspawn. For future reference.
=== Isabela and Hawke ===
=== Isabela and Anders ===
=== Isabela and Aveline ===
* Isabela: I spy with my little eye, something that is... red. And socially uncomfortable. 
* Aveline: Ugh.
* Isabela: No guesses? It starts with A.
* Aveline: Shut up.
* Isabela: Ooh, my mistake. It starts with such a B.
* Aveline: Time and a place, Isabela. No games when we're this deep in a mess.
* Isabela: Fine. Gone from B to a real C, anyway. 
* Aveline: Isabela. That... demonstration you put on two nights ago in the Viscount's Keep. 
* Isabela: Ooh. Are you going to arrest me, Captain?
* Aveline: No. You did that on purpose and I will not be baited. 
* Isabela: Oh, come on!
* Aveline: I will also no longer judge you for your... choices. I will make a concerted attempt to be understanding.
* Isabela: What? Does this mean you'll no longer call me a whore?
* Aveline: As you so rightly pointed out, whores accept gold for services rendered. You do not. 
* Isabela: But...
* Aveline: Poxy tart. (Laughs) Had you there.
=== Isabela and Bethany ===
(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 a Circle Mage)
* 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.
=== Isabela and Carver ===
(In Act 1)
* Carver: So... Isabela.
* Isabela: Oh, Carver, I do love the way you say my name. 
* Carver: I... er... thank you?
* Isabela: Carver, if you stop breathing every time a woman compliments you, you'll never be awake when the fun starts. 
(If Carver is a templar)
* Isabela: You certainly fill out a skirt Carver. A shame, I suppose you're all religious and such now.
* Carver: Do you know how long the Chant of Light is? How much stamina it requires?
* Isabela: Go on...
* Carver: With passion'd breath comes darkness, but with many against Her, She finds His light untiring as it parts the Veil.
* Isabela: Not sure if I'm aroused or scared. I like it.
(If Hawke is in a romance with Isabela)
* Hawke: No you don't. No, she doesn't!
(If Sebastian is in the party)
* Sebastian: Don't do that to the Chant!
* Isabela: Shush, you. 
(If Carver is a Grey Warden)
* Isabela: You've certainly...filled out, Carver. Shame, really, I hear joining the Wardens separates the men from their "boys."
* Carver: We rarely have children, true. But don't worry, that just means I try ever so much harder.
* Isabela: Ooh, I like you all grown up.
(If Hawke is in a romance with Isabela)
* Hawke: No you don't. No, she doesn't!
(If Varric is in the party)
* Varric: Junior took down the Rivaini? Who's telling this story?
(If Aveline is in the party)
* Aveline: You'd better not.
=== Isabela and Fenris ===
=== Isabela and Merrill ===
* Merrill: Ugh. I think I stepped in something again.
* Isabela: I keep telling you Kitten, get a pair of proper boots. Like mine!
* Merrill: I can't. I just can't. Your boots go on forever. I'd get so lost in them. I've dropped marbles in. They take an eternity to reach the bottom.
* Isabela: That's the reason I've been finding marbles in my boots?
* Merrill: Um. No. I'm just rambling. Look, a rock!
* Merrill: (Giggles) You're not going to say anything?
* Isabela: No! And don't you say anything either! I want to see how long it takes her/him to notice...
* Hawke: I'm right here, you know. What are you going on about?
* Merrill: You have a bit of... something... on your nose there.
* Hawke: What? How long has it been there?
* Isabela: Oh, now you've gone and ruined it. 
* Merrill: What a dreadful place. If I were a darkspawn, I'd plant flowers. Brighten it up. 
* Isabela: Kitten, any flowers would turn into a man-eating petal monsters within the hour. 
* Merrill: Maybe just a nice still-life, then.
=== Isabela and Sebastian ===
* Sebastian: Why the aversion to bows?
* Isabela: A one armed man named Molly once shot me in the shoulder with a bow. It hurt. Now can we drop this?
* Sebastian: I don't understand. You could learn to shoot a bow, if you tried. 
* Isabela: (Sighs) You have pretty eyes.
* Sebastian: I suppose the conversation's over, then.
* Sebastian: You don't look very happy down here.
* Isabela: I'm a pirate, sweetheart. I belong on the open sea, not squished under a thousand tons of rock.
* Sebastian: It's an adventure. Don't pirates like adventures?
* Isabela: Only if they end with a gallon of rum and a new bed to plunder.
* Sebastian: Well, there's treasure here. Pirates like treasure, right?
* Isabela: (Grunts) That's just what we use to keep score. 
* Isabela: And you've all been wondering why I don't wear pants. So much less toxic goo to clean off. 
* Sebastian: (Sighs) I should have thought of that. 
* Isabela: It's not like I change my clothing every time I go home, like Hawke does.
=== Isabela and Varric ===
* Isabela: You've a nickname for everyone.
* Varric: That's true, Rivaini.
* Isabela: But everyone just calls you Varric. That's hardly fair.
* Varric: Well, it's my story.
* Isabela: What?
* Varric: Nothing.
* Varric: We passed another broken pillar. You know what that means.
* Isabela: Everyone take a drink!
(If Anders is in the party)
* Anders: The last time we played this game, I kissed an ogre. Please, let's not go there again.
(If Aveline is in the party)
* Aveline: Didn't the last game end with Isabela getting Orlesian with a lyrium vein?
* Varric: Yep!
* Aveline: Carry on, then.
* Isabela: Dwarves are funny. Look at them scurrying away on their stumpy little legs.
* Varric: I heard that.
* Isabela: It's cute when you do it.
== Mark of the Assassin ==
=== Isabela's remarks ===
* (After meeting Tallis) "She's got style. I'll give her that."
* (When clicked, if romanced) "Oh, stop. You're such a tease."
* (When clicked on a friendship path) "Drinks after this?"
* (When clicked on a rivalry path) "(Sighs) I should've stayed at the tavern."
* "I hope I'm not expected to eat roast wyvern after this."
* "Get Duke Fancypants first! And if that wyvern spits at you, run like your arse is on fire!"
* "Which of these lizards do we drag back to the Duke so we can get to the drinking?"
* (After some hunters make remarks about wyverns during the hunt) "And here I thought Orlesians only hunted other Orlesians for horrendous crimes against fashion."
* (After leaving the Dungeons, if Hawke leaves Tallis) "What a strange little person."
* (After leaving the Dungeons, if Hawke goes with Tallis) "Wait, I'm helping the Qunari recover some priceless artifact? Oh, the irony."
=== Isabela and Hawke ===
=== Isabela and Anders ===
=== Isabela and Aveline ===
* Isabela: So you say a witch helped you get to Kirkwall.
* Aveline: Flemeth, the Witch of the Wilds.
* Isabela: Oh. Her. I see her at the Hanged Man sometimes.
* Aveline: What?
* Isabela: Threatens to turn you into a toad and eat your babies if you beat her at cards.
* Aveline: You're... joking.
* Isabela: Perhaps.
* Aveline: All the nobles are looking at you.
* Isabela: Would I dress like this if I didn't want people looking at me?
* Aveline: It doesn't make you uncomfortable?
* Isabela: Honey, you don't know uncomfortable till you've been bent backwards over the helm of a ship and handcuffed to the rail.
* Aveline: At your request, I assume.
* Isabela: It was complicated.
* Aveline: Sure it was.
* Isabela: Imagine going to one of those Orlesian parties. I'd feel underdressed.
* Aveline: (Scoffs) Undressed, you mean.
* Isabela: Well, I don't need to hide from the world by encasing myself in steel up to my eyebrows. 
* Aveline: Right, let it all hang out so everyone knows what they're getting.
(If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality)
* Hawke: Can't you two just get along?
* Aveline: This is us getting along. Isn't that right, whore?
(If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality)
* Hawke: Catfight? Catfight!
* Aveline: We're not fighting. Isn't that right, whore?
(If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality)
* Hawke: If you can't get along, stop talking to each other.
* Aveline: This is us getting along. Isn't that right, whore?
* Isabela: That's right, man-chin.
(The insults are randomized.)
* Aveline:
** Strumpet.
** Wine-soaked pearl diver.
** Poxy tart.
** Scurvy tramp.
* Isabela:
** Guardswoman.
** Griffon-lips.
** Carrot head.
** Frigid bear-sow.
* Aveline: See? We love each other.
(While looking for Hawke and Tallis)
* Isabela: If you'd let me handle that last guard, we'd have found Hawke by now!
* Aveline: Right. You'd be bent over a desk, and we'd be no closer than we are now. 
* Isabela: Well, I'd be closer to something.
* Aveline: Shut up whore.
* Hawke: I don't think we're getting out this way now.
* Aveline: We could try bashing our way through.
* Isabela: That's right, Aveline. Just hit it.
* Aveline: Or we could try squeezing your fat ass between the bars.
* Hawke: Ladies.
=== Isabela and Bethany ===
(If Bethany is a Circle mage)
* Isabela: Just like old times, isn't it? Going on adventures, getting into scrapes. It's like you're free again.
* Bethany: I don't mind it so much. I don't have to hide, or worry about templars hunting me.
* Bethany: It's funny. The idea of the Circle is much more terrifying than the reality of it.
* Bethany: Though perhaps my transition was made easier by the books you sent along with your letters.
* Isabela: Oh, you liked them, did you?
* Bethany: They were wicked. It was like you were there.
* Hawke:
** (If Hawke has a diplomatic/helpful personality) Please, for the love of all that's holy, don't write to my sister anymore.
** (If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality) What am I hearing? I don't want to hear this! I'm not hearing this!
** (If Hawke has an aggressive/direct personality) Ugh. Must you talk about this within earshot?
(If Bethany is a Grey Warden)
* Isabela: It's good to see you back. It's like old times again.
* Bethany: You know it's not. It'll never be like it was.
* Isabela: We can always pretend. If we do it well enough, we might forget that things have changed.
* Bethany: (Laughs) You're ridiculous.
* Isabela: Whatever works, sweetness.
=== Isabela and Carver ===
(If Hawke does not romance Merrill)
* Carver: So... how is Merrill? Sad that she couldn't come along.
* Isabela: She's fine, all things considered. Why do you—Wait.
* Carver: What?
* Isabela: You. Merrill. Andraste's granny pants, I can't believe I never saw it before!
* Carver: What? No! No no no no. You've got it wrong.
* Isabela: Stop fretting. I'm on your side, and I always win.
* Carver: She's not a game of cards!
* Isabela: Whatever. Good at matchmaking, not so good at the analogies.
* Carver: Ridiculous.
* Isabela: (Sighs) What has your critical gaze fallen upon now?
* Carver: Why do Orlesians need to have so many parties all the time?
* Isabela: So it is merry-making that offends you.
* Carver: Posturing affairs, filled with foppish, wine-sipping, pinkie-extenders.
* Isabela: So along with mages, your life, and the weather most days, you also hate Orlesians and merry-making.
* Carver: Are you mocking me?
* Isabela: Never.
(If Carver is a templar)
* Isabela: I always did like a man in uniform.
* Carver: You sure you wouldn't like a man out of uniform better?
* Isabela: I... hmm.
* Carver: Life's so full of hard choices, isn't it?
(If Carver is a Grey Warden)
* Isabela: I always did like a man on a mission.
* Carver: Wardens go deep. It's a hard calling. And we also save the world.
* Isabela: Very interesting.
* Carver: I'll tell you about it sometime, when I'm not, you know, saving the world.
(While looking for Hawke and Tallis)
* Carver: You just leave this to me. I can handle everything. 
* Isabela: I'm starting to think you could. 
* Carver: What was that? A compliment? I'm a little frightened.
* Isabela: I know! Let's get these people rescued before it happens again.
=== Isabela and Fenris ===
=== Isabela and Merrill ===
* 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.
* Merrill: Do you think I should change my hair, Isabela?
* Isabela: Change it how, Kitten?
* Merrill: I don't know. I've always had it like this. Tallis has pretty hair.
* Isabela: I think yours is darling the way it is.
* Merrill: But would it be better if it were red?
* Isabela: Then you'd look like a lollypop. Stick with your natural color.
* Merrill: I suppoose that's best. I wouldn't want strangers to try to lick my hair.
(While trying to find Hawke and Tallis)
* Merrill: Isabela? Um... I think we've been here before. We've passed that same cracked tile six times now.
* Isabela: Andraste's granny-panties! I knew things were going too smoothly!
* Merrill: Does Andraste really wear granny-panties? How do you know all these things?
* Isabela: (Sighs) Come on, Kitten. Let's see if we can find the entrance and start again.
=== Isabela and Sebastian ===
* Sebastian: It was nice to see you in the Chantry, listening to Sister Etheline's testimony.
* Sebastian: I was surprised, but very glad.
* Isabela: I was surprised as well, and not quite as glad.
* Sebastian: Oh? Sister Etheline's words always inspire me. Was it not so for you?
* Isabela: You didn't notice I was bound, gagged, and had a contusion on my forehead?
* Sebastian: What?
* Isabela: Just... don't ask for the "bad girl special" at the Blooming Rose.
* Isabela: My husband used to have hunting parties like this.
* Sebastian: I'd forgotten you were married.
* Sebastian: It's hard to picture you playing the hostess, taking cloaks and kissing babies.
* Isabela: No, there were servants for that. I just had to sit there and look pretty.
* Isabela: If I got out of hand, he would lock me away with a bottle of wine and a dirty book.
* Isabela: Told everyone I was indisposed.
* Sebastian: My parents used to do the same thing! Minus the wine. And the, uh, dirty book.
(While looking for Hawke and Tallis)
* Isabela: Eenie, meenie, miney, moe...
* Sebastian: I'm not sure that's the best way to find them.
* Isabela: We already tried "pray for Andraste to guide us" and "wander like drunken vagrants."
* Isabela: We are running out of options.
* Isabela: Unless you want to find a chicken for an augury, we're going with counting games.
=== Isabela and Varric ===
=== Isabela and Tallis ===
* Tallis: So these are the hunting grounds.
* Isabela: Do we need a lure? What do wyverns like?
(If Aveline is also in the party.)
* Aveline: If we're lucky: slutty pirates.
* Isabela: Or prudish man-virgins, maybe?
* Tallis: We just need to look for signs, and be careful. We get this over with, we get in the keep.
* Hawke: And that's where the jewel is?
* Tallis: That's where the jewel is.
(After some hunters make remarks about wyverns during the hunt)
* Isabela: And here I thought Orlesians only hunted other Orlesians for horrendous crimes against fashion.
* Tallis: Just ignore them.
* Isabela: Can I just imagine that wyverns are small, completely non-poisonous bunny-like creatures?
* Tallis: Not unless you picture it eating you.
* Isabela: Spoilsport.
* Tallis: The sooner we get the hunt over with, the sooner we'll be at the Chateau to finish this.
* Tallis: Watch out! Big-hat ghast!
* Isabela: (Snickers) Ghast hat.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Tallis: What?
* Isabela: Lies, betrayal, leading us here to die...
* Tallis:And you thought you could do it so much better?
* Isabela: I would never... well, yes. I would. But there's only room for one backstabbing rogue in this party, elf.
* Tallis: I apologize. From now on, that position is all yours.
* Isabela: Good. Just so we're clear.
(After Tallis' identity is revealed)
* Tallis: So you were the one who stole the Tome. Did you read it?
* Isabela: In between running for my life? Of course I read it.
* Tallis: Ah, sarcasm is one of the demands of the Qun, did you know?
* Isabela: No, it's not.
* Tallis: So you did read it, then.
(If Isabela is romanced.)
* Tallis: I've struggled to find that peace, that certainty. I know it's there, I just... keep falling short.
* Isabela: Maybe you should take that as a sign?
* Tallis: I used to be like you. I told myself if I never cared about anyone or anything, I could never be hurt. Life would be fun.
* Tallis: But it wasn't. There was a hole inside me. Nothing I did ever filled it.
* Isabela: Oh, that's too easy.
* Tallis: Not everything should be easy. Don't you wonder what it would be like? A life with meaning, with purpose?
* Isabela: I... have a purpose. I have Hawke.
* Tallis: Lucky you.

=== Isabela's remarks ===
* (Low health) Stop hitting me! Hit the other person!
* (Low health) I knew coming here was a bad idea.
* (Low health) Shit. Shit shit! I’ve really stepped in it this time!
* (Low health) (sighs) Do I have to bleed on you to get your attention?
* (Low health) You know, I only have so much blood in me!
* (Low health) The whole ‘Raider Queen’ image doesn’t work when I’m limping.
* (During battle) Damn, I got blood on my boot!
* (Fallen) And here I always thought death would involve more greased-up sailors.
* (Fallen) Hey... This is like that time Merrill made mushrooms for dinner!
* (Fallen) Why is everything green? Oh, no...
* (Revived) Maker, this is embarrassing.
* (Revived) You! You better run before I- before I get back on my feet!
* (Revived) My hero. I owe you a drink.
* (Revived) Someone’s going to pay for knocking me over!
* (Reviving someone) Come on, lying there is not helping anyone!
* (Reviving someone) Get your arse up!
* (Reviving someone) I’d offer you a shot of whiskey, but I’m dry, so just imagine I did.
* (Friend falls) Whoops!
* (Friend falls) Well, that’s no good!
* (Friend falls) Andraste’s knickers, I can’t do this alone!
* (In between zones) Open door, kill everything, right?
* (idle) (sighs) what are we waiting for? Standing around just makes me antsy.
* (idle) What is red and veiny and pulsates? A vein of red lyrium! (laughs) You thought I was going to say something dirty!
* (Treasure room) This had better lead to treasure.
* (Treasure room) Think golden thoughts!
* (Lockpicking) Who needs Isabela's magic touch?
* (Lockpicking) It's all in the wrist, children... All in the wrist.
* (sighting breakable stone wall) Where is my lady battering ram when I need her?
* (unknown) Could’ve been drinking, but no.
=== Isabela and Amund ===
* Isabela: Every time we find gold I think to myself, "Imagine the hats you could buy with this, Isabela!"
* Amund: Why do you need more? You’ve only the one head.
───────
* Isabela: Why do I always get myself into these messes when I could be on a beach in the sun?
* Amund: Maybe your god will lead you to a beach next? It could happen!
───────
* Isabela: Looking good, sweet thing.
* Amund: To you as well, my hearty, stabby friend!
───────
* Amund: I’m reminded of a battle I fought in a snow storm on a glacier. This is much like that.
* Isabela: Snow storm on a glacier? The shrinkage must’ve been epic.
───────
* Amund: The Lady of the Skies led me to your Herald. What is Andraste the goddess of, anyway?
* Isabela: Fire! No, singing! Remorse? Really great hair. Ooh, ooh, I know. Marrying up.
───────
* Amund: When we return victorious will have words with that tiny man Cabot about getting us real Avvar mead to celebrate.
* Isabela: Oh, I knew I liked you for more than just your size.
=== Isabela and Argent ===
* Argent: This is the first time I've worked for an organization like the Inquisition. It was always a person before.
*Isabela: Follow your own compass! Be your own captain! Huh... That sounded much better in my head.
───────
* Argent: When we’re through, perhaps the spymaster will turn me over to someone else.
*Isabela: Speaking of the spymaster, you won't believe the stories I've heard about her. Wild in her day.
───────
* Argent: I like birds. I had a parakeet. It was blue. And then it died.
*Isabela: That got dark quick.
=== Isabela and Belinda ===
* Belinda: I met the Divine Justinia only once before she died. She was lovely.
* Isabela: Oh I bet she was. I’ve heard stories. Ohh? Blushing! Heard them too, I take it?
───────
* Belinda: I pray the Maker smiles on the Inquisition. Our cause is righteous!
* Isabela: (laughs) It’s amazing. How are you saying things like “Our cause is righteous!” while staying adorable?
───────
* Belinda: I hope to stay and serve the Inquisition, once this war is over.
* Isabela: They’d be lucky to have you, sweet thing.
=== Isabela and Cillian ===
* Cillian: I once dreamed of seeing places like this.
* Isabela: Now look at you, making all your dreams come true!
───────
* Cillian: Did anyone try that ham they had at camp yesterday?
* Isabela: Did you? Did you get hammered? (laughs)
───────
* Cillian: Being with the Inquisition has opened my eyes to how little I truly understood the world before.
* Isabela: Understanding's overrated. You just need to know enough to stay alive and have fun doing it. 
=== Isabela and Hall ===
* Hall: There are so many people in the world. I'm not used the lack of silence.
* Isabela: Too much silence can make a man insane. I’ve seen it happen.
───────
* Hall: I wonder if I'll ever be able to go back to the life I had before.
* Isabela: Going backwards is silly, if you ask me. Far too easy to trip on your own feet.
───────
* Hall: So when we get back does anyone fancy a drink at the tavern? That’s what friends do, right?
* Isabela: Only if the drink leads to something else, sweet thing.
=== Isabela and another Isabela ===
* Isabela: Every time we find gold I think to myself, "Imagine the hats you could buy with this, Isabela!"
* Other Isabela: Then I remember that the hat shop was destroyed by falling mortar when the Chantry exploded.
───────
* Isabela: Why do I always get myself into these messes when I could be on a beach in the sun?
* Other Isabela: Treasure, woman! Think of the treasure!
───────
* Isabela: Looking good, sweet thing.
* Other Isabela: I know, sweet thing.
=== Isabela and Katari ===
* Katari: This Inquisition must be desperate, recruiting the way they do. Just look at us!
* Isabela: Let me tell you, watching the sky tear itself an asshole is a great way to get immediately sober.
───────
* Katari: Ever fought a wyvern? I did once. Sold the head for good money, too.
* Isabela: Yes, yes, big picture problems. But can we focus on not getting killed right now?
───────
* Katari: I’ll be happy if I never see a demon again after this.
* Isabela: What about spending time on a boat? I have a boat.
=== Isabela and Korbin ===
* Korbin: Once in the Deep Roads, I held off a group of darkspawn for two days.
* Isabela: I once held off sobriety for two days. Well, a week and two days.
───────
* Korbin: There’s so much life on the surface. If not for the Inquisition, I would never have experienced it.
* Isabela: The dwarven kingdom just sounds so dull. Dull, yet dangerous, the worst combination.
───────
* Korbin: Once this is all over, I suppose I’ll have to return to the Deep Roads.
* Isabela: You don’t have to! I have a boat. How good are you at drunken singing?
=== Isabela and Luka ===
* Luka: Inquisition is such a funny word!
* Isabela: No, you know what’s a funny word? Malarchy. Malarchy.
───────
* Luka: When I was trapped in the Vimmark Mountains, I ate lots of mushrooms.
* Isabela: Have you met Varric? I’ll introduce you if I get the chance, you’d drive him insane.
───────
* Luka: I wonder if I could find that cave with the glowing lichen again – it was west of Ferelden.
* Isabela: Good luck with that! I’d help, but I do hate caves.
=== Isabela and Neria ===
* Neria: (gasps) I've never had my skills so tested in my life! 
* Isabela: Stick with me, you’ll be fine.
───────
* Neria: It will be a relief to return to my clan once all this is done.
* Isabela: You’re lucky to have one that welcomes you. I have a friend, who- (sighs) nevermind.
───────
* Neria: I never thought I would say this, but I’ve learned much from traveling with you all.
* Isabela: This is nothing. Wait until I get the rest of them drunk at the tavern.
=== Isabela and Rion ===
* Rion: You know, this Inquisition? Isn’t as bad as I thought.
* Isabela: Much merrier than its name would suggest, that’s for sure!
───────
* Rion: When this is over, I hope we mages are given some freedom. After all, isn’t the point to change things?
* Isabela: Can we focus on not getting diced on a plate? I don’t care how good I look drizzled with oil, it’s still no.
───────
* Rion: Well, how’s everyone doing today?
* Isabela: Perky, as you can see.
=== Isabela and Sidony ===
* Sidony: This is ridiculous. Why did I agree to come here?
* Isabela: To annoy us all with constant grumbling? Or am I wrong?
───────
* Sidony: (Disgusted noise.)
* Isabela: My, is someone constipated again?
───────
* Sidony: Once this is over, the spymaster promised to let me look at her library.
* Isabela: Bet she did that just to shut you up.
=== Isabela and Tamar ===
* Tamar: Your Chantry goes belly up, the Inquisition steps in. Always something to keep the same people in power. 
* Isabela: Tamar, you are a lovely lady, but Andraste's arsecheeks, you're a downer. 
───────
* Tamar: The last time I met a group of rebel mages, I let them live. One of them told a funny story.
* Isabela: You can't just stop there. What's the story?
───────
* Tamar: If I survive, I’ll be free. The commander gave his word – I fight for him, and I get to live. 
* Isabela: I love boots. Tall, supple leather boots. The smell of Antivan leather. What? Oh - sorry, were you talking?
* (or) Isabela: Cullen can give me his word anytime. Anytime.
───────
* Isabela: Every time we find gold I think to myself, "Imagine the hats you could buy with this, Isabela!" 
* Tamar: Oh, really?
=== Isabela and Thornton ===
* Thornton: When the Breach first opened, I managed to evade demons by hiding in a snowdrift.
* Isabela: Didn’t you tell us this story already? I could’ve sworn-
───────
* Thornton: Considering what we’re up against, I really hope the Inquisition knows what it’s doing.
* Isabela: Oh, you bet I am.
───────
* Thornton: If I survive this, maybe I’ll move to a cottage. Get a dog. And a vegetable garden.
* Isabela: That’s what I thought ten years ago, yet here I am today.
=== Isabela and Zither! ===
* Isabela: Every time we find gold I think to myself, "Imagine the hats you could buy with this, Isabela!"
* Zither!: For me it’s doublets studded with Serault glass crystals. I’m definitely commissioning one with ZITHER! Written across the back.
───────
* Isabela: Why do I always get myself into these messes when I could be on a beach in the sun?
* Zither!: I did the beach thing after my manager tried to kill me. I could never get the hang of the drinks with the little umbrellas.
───────
* Isabela: Looking good, sweet thing.
* Zither!: Right back at you, gorgeous.
───────
* Zither!: After this, Val Royeaux? I know a place where you can be covered in gold leaf and then sanded. Who’s with me?
* Isabela: I’ll take the gold leaf but pass on the sanding. I have very sensitive skin.
───────
* Zither!: This is just like that gig I played in Lydes. Except I’m sober, and nobody’s throwing their underclothes at me. Yet.
* Isabela: I’d rectify that, but I have my hands full. Of daggers.
