Heh, I'm loving all the little cute moments like that in the Blackwall's romance so far (and I haven't even completed it yet!).
I also must agree with Dorian's... assessment... of Blackwall. Blackwall is definitely a lot of man- how my Lavellan likes it 
. Coincidentally, I have a thing for burly men IRL... hmmm.
OMG BEARD FETISHIST!
Lol you bet I am.
My soon to be hubby once started growing a beard with my encouragement , but his Uncle took the mickey out of him and he shaved it all off.
I was like: 
Also: are there any companions that have banter with Blackwall about the romance while exploring so I know who to bring around? I like any acknowledgments of my PC's romance.
Sera, Solas, Dorian, and Vivienne I know for certain.
So, I was just thinking about the dancing scene with Blackwall again (don't judge me 
), and he said that he used to dance in "another life". It made me even more curious about how he lived before things hit the fan for him, so to speak. I like how romancing him gives a deeper perspective into his character.

No one is judging here 
. This line and a banter with viv about expensive wine make me believe he lead a life of somewhat luxury

Abaeni had just let them Empress die, so she didn't feel like dancing. She opted for cuddling on the balcony instead.
Was the dance scene lovely, or was it a few steps and fade to black like the other LIs?

It's pretty similar to Cullen's and Solas's at least, a few steps then fade to black.

Mhmm, you're probably right. That, and the noble at the Winter Palace almost recognized him. He probably attended a number of these parties before in his past life.
I uploaded the scene with the noble XD
I'll upload the dancing scene too. Why not

Ah. Glad I went with the cuddle then.
Also, does he scold you or say anything in the dance scene, if you let celene die?

I think that he lived fast as a younger man, starting with the tourney winnings that he apparently blew through. He was very concerned with personal gain, according to his bio. I bet he had a collection of expensive habits and tastes, partially developed through his desire to play or at least fit in with the Game, but also due to well, nice things are nice.

It seems there's a pretty big chance he might have briefly met lady Trevelyan before. I think I'm going to headcanon my early-40s warrior Trevelyan that way.

Here's the dance scene I uploaded of Blackwall and my Lavellan. It's just a few steps and fade to black, but here he mentions how he danced in another life.
Also, does he scold you or say anything in the dance scene, if you let celene die?
You know, I don't remember. He was very lenient on me when I said I regretted letting her die, but I mean I still got the disapproval hit.
He told me that he knew I was doing what I thought was right at the time, which made Abaeni feel a little bit better.
That just gave me an idea, that with a young Trevelyan watching him at the tourney when he won. It was held in the Free Marches, wasn't it? Not so far fetched she would've been there, if old enough!
Truthfully, had it been me, the real me, and he told me the story about the Chevalier & winning the tournament, I would've gone to Leliana. Then we could've backtracked, found out the different winners and the one that matched up with this story, and we would've known exactly who he was.
I kinda really want to see him dance, tbh. I'd love to see him lead my quizzy in a polonaise and a waltz, like in those 19th century themed period dramas. Maybe they would even go wild and roll a mazurka! (don't mind me, I'm kind of enamoured with the whole 19th century Russian ballroom aesthetics)
Also, does he scold you or say anything in the dance scene, if you let celene die?
Nah. If you say "I'm afraid it will bite me in the ass later" or something, he says it might, but he's not mad at you or anything. If you say you regret letting her die, he says you did what you thought was right. Either way, aside from that approval hit, he's very supportive.

For a Trevelyan roughly Blackwall's age, she would've almost certainly been there. It's also possible they could've met at some ball in Orlais, back when he danced in that another life.
I kinda joked around with the idea of my Trevelyan having been at one of the tourneys he was at, but she would have been around 10 or even a little younger. She probably fell asleep or was disinterested, and wouldn't have remembered much anyway.

There is also a conversation with Iron Bull (romance only) in which they discuss what safe words they'd think other companions would use. In regards to Blackwall, Iron Bull said, "Hmm ... 'petit-alms.' Get deep enough under that armor, there's a man who lived the good life once."
I had no idea what petit-alms were so I did a bit of googling. (Thought it was some pastry!) The term came up in "Dragon Age: Asunder." (Excerpt found here.)
He laughed when a group of children assembled by the road, shouting for petit alms. It was Orlesian tradition, after all, and Rhys wished he had coins to throw them.
I thought that was nice foreshadowing, that Iron Bull picked an Orlesian word for gold coin for Blackwall.

Totally mixed up petit alms with petit fours, so didn't bother to look it up because I was giggling that his word would be 'tiny cakes'!
Yeah, Iron Bull can almost see right through Blackwall, like in the banter when he calls him out on not truly believing in the Grey Warden code of sacrifice. I also like that this foreshadowing comes from Iron Bull.
