Here are a few banters I previously posted on the Solas thread. All are based on random, unfounded speculation, as we actually know nothing about Solas.
Team Crushed Expectations: random and baseless speculation
Inquisitor: knocks on door. "Solas, can I come in?"
Solas: the sound of rustling paper is heard. "If you insist."
Inquisitor: Opens door. "I do insist. I had to stop Sera from using Cole as target practice at dinner tonight. Isn't that usually your job?"
Solas: "He can take care of himself."
Inquisitor: "In a fight, maybe. But he certainly isn't up to Sera's verbal assaults, she's flings adjectives as smoothly as arrows, and to no less effect. Speaking of words, you have lapsed from taciturn to mute since Dorian joined us. Care to tell me why?"
Solas: "No."
Inquisitor: "If you have a problem with him I need to know. Closing the rifts is going to take the whole team." crosses room to look Solas directly in the eye. "I need you at your best."
Solas: pulls a thick, yellowed stack of papers from behind him and hands them to the Inquisitor. "My thesis on the energy fluctuations associated with opening and closing fade rifts and the influence of magical manipulation in areas where the veil is thin on their spontaneous occurrence."
Inquisitor: confused "What does this have to do with Dorian?"
Solas: "Nothing really."
Inquisitor: arches eyebrow "Nothing?"
Solas: "There was an open seat in the Department of Fade Studies at the University in Vyrantium. It was not as prestigious as the University in Minrathous so I thought I had a chance.... Humans never see past the ears, you know."
Inquisitor: "I know. I'm sorry, Solas. If.... When this is all over, I promise I will work to change that."
Off stage scene from DAI: Solas leans against a tree, a thick bundle of paper piled on his lap as he writes. A second, smaller stack of paper is haphazardly stacked at his side covered with references and footnotes. Varric walks up and peruses his work.
Varric: What are you doing, Solas? At this rate you will cause the deforestation of half of Orlais.
Solas: I am attempting to write a dissertation on the nature of magic.
Varric: I'm pretty sure I remember you saying it couldn't be defined.
Solas: That was before the Inquisitor discovered all the banter triggers.
Varric: Oh, yeah. I wrote "Wicked Wardens" while I was waiting for my turn in the last area with more than one trigger.
Solas: And you don't even have to wait that long. She always saves me for last so she can "squee" every time I say something. I could recite the entire Litany of Adralla and the whole of the Chant of Light and she would stare at me the whole time as if I was revealing the truth about the Black City.
Varric: You know the whole Chant of Light?
Solas: sigh
More unfounded Solas speculation based on scotch bonnet candies and Laidlaw's snippet that we can tick our companions off enough to make them leave. Inquisitor is pragmatic Dalish elf.
Solas: "Inquisitor, you cannot support Gaspard! It is a betrayal of our people. Do you want to see more generations of Elvhen children condemned to the slums, to servitude no better than slavery. Have you no conscience?!"
Inquisitor: "And would you prefer to see those Elvhen children die now, instead? Gaspard has the troops and the tactical advantage to end this now. And Celene is no better, she may speak of aiding the Elvhen, but she will do what serves her best."
Solas: "Celene has at least tried to aid our people. To Gaspard we have less status than the horse he rides. With Iron Bull's mercenaries we could bolster Celene's forces, and she already holds Val Royeaux."
Inquisitor: "Iron Bull's mercenaries are over a weeks march away. In that time thousands more will die if I don't get these rifts closed. To close them I need access to the city. If I wait, that blood is on my hands."
Solas: "And the blood of future generations will be on your hands if you don't. You have the gall to call Celene self-serving. Look in the mirror. For all you profess to support the Elvhen people, you only count the Dalish. I'm through. Goodbye, Inquisitor. I won't wish you good luck."
OR, if the Inquisitor has enough influence with Solas.
Solas: "And the blood of future generations may be on your hands if you do. Just remember, there are more Elvhen than the Dalish, don't forget that." walks away -10 approval
Hugs. In one of the interviews they asked Cameron Lee if you could hug your companions. He was unable to answer the question, but in the interests of fueling our speculation, here are some Inquisitor hugs after a dragon combat.
Inquisitor: hugs Vivienne. "Wow, you toasted that dragon. Great job!"
Vivienne: "Get off me! You'll soil my robes, peasant." walks off
Inquisitor: hugs Sera. "An arrow right in the eye. You're amazing."
Sera: hugs back. "I'm so glad we all survived. And the villagers will be safe now." smiles in satisfaction
Inquisitor: hugs Iron Bull. "If you hadn't kept that beast distracted it would have had us all. You're bleeding, let me help."
Iron Bull: "It's nothing. But if you are interested in helping, I wouldn't mind spending some time with you." pats Quiz on the arse
Inquisitor: hugs Varric. "You had Bianca singing there. Beautiful."
Varric: "Nothing but the best for the Quiz. What a story this will make." walks off "Dragon swooped from the dimming sky, a thousand tons of death did fly..."
Inquisitor: hugs Dorian: "Nice work, Sparkles. I thought we were dragon chow."
Dorian: "Well, I am the best. But..., Sparkles?" turns too look for Varric. "D***, mouthy rogue anyway"
Inquisitor: hugs Cole: "Thank you, Cole. You were a great help."
Cole: blushes and vanishes
Inquisitor: hugs Cassandra "Cass, I thought you were a goner, standing their in it's face with just that shield."
Cassandra: "With proper training and equipment it is possible to withstand dragon fire." looks at her shield hand "I should probably see Vivienne about some burn ointment."
Inquisitor: hugs Blackwall "You were there every time the dragon went for someone, always protecting them. You have a stout heart my friend, thank you."
Blackwall: "Um, that is what I do. Protect those who need it. Thanks." walks away embarrassed.
Inquisitor: hugs Solas. "Solas, that was incredible! How did you manage to paralyze it's wings mid-flight, then cast that tempest and still have enough mana to use lightning on it when it fell?"
Solas: "If you had read Colbert's thesis on the recapture of mana with a fade vortex and Teret's wave theory you could see that the interaction of those principles allowed..." ump "I can't breathe when you squeeze me that tight."
Inquisitor: "I know, shut up and kiss me."
Solas: blushes, stammers and runs
BSN Solas fans: "Oh Solas, Oh Solas. Where for art thou, Solas."
Solas: raises eyebrow. " You would think the Solas thread would at least have enough self respect not to mangle overused Shakespeare quotes." Goes back to reading.
Vivienne: "Solas, what are you reading? 'The Peacock Fan' by Lady Lucina Lovestruck. Such an erudite work. I am surprised, Solas.
Solas: "Surprised, dear Vivienne? I was hoping to peruse an updated copy of Falcini and Corbett's definitive work, 'Fluctuations in mana cost of basic primal and healing spells based on season, elevation and local connection to the fade.' I had hoped for new research, as the original paper was only 48 pages in length and the research lacked adequate control subjects." Solas waves toward thick hollow book cover with the research paper title. "I will say perusing your library has proved educational."
Vivienne: "But you are still reading it."
Solas: "The Inquisitor plans for us to attend an Orlesian ball. This appears to be adequate instruction on the workings of Orlesian politics if I am to judge by your example."
Vivienne: "You soulless knife ear..." stomps off
Varric: "You sure got her panties in a twist." leans over to read a few lines "Oh, not bad. You should read 'Hard in Hightown' I think the action scenes are better."
Solas: "The action scenes are anatomically impossible. At least your Hightown politics were more direct, although I think an alliance based on a dalliance conducted while dangling from a rope over a chasm seems rather improbable, don't you?"
Varric: "Hey, that's how it happened. Well, kind of, with a little literary license."
Solas: "Less literary license and more dwarven ale, I think."
Varric: "It keeps the reader's interest." shrugs and walks off
Solas: "Quit reading over my shoulder, Cole"
Cole: "But this is the good part."
Solas: "Good by what definition, demon?"
Cole: "Oh, never mind. Go to page 243, it's the Inquisitors favorite scene."
Solas: "Go away, Cole." waits for a few minutes, then flips to page 243. "Hmm, perhaps I should spend more time with the Inquisitor."
