Merril isn't even generally snarky, normally i'd describe her voice as sincere, but she did totally go on a whole thing about it, "But Not In Front of the Trees!! They get jealous."
Naw, yeah, she seemed really sincere when she said that. But I can't help but think she was pulling someones leg because she could... ... ... I don't know, maybe it's a Dalish inside joke. And if Solas is in any way associated with them he can continue on about the trees and how jealous they get about the frolicking. That or he could just shoot it down and be like 'that's absurd!'
There's a scene from E3 where Solas is climbing a snowy moutain like a boss , and Varric well...small legs and snow don't go well together.
I can imagine Varric all bitching and moaning and Solas going all (nicely , he doesn't look like a meanie) trolololol.
YEAH NOT A GOOD DAY TO BE A DWARF IN THAT SCENE I TELL YOU WHAT. Probably even worse for dwarf Inquisitor. Bet the Inquisitor sent Solas to the rear of the companion train due to him laughing. And Varric would be all like "baldy, I don't exactly appreciate you laughing at my predicament." Or, on the flip side, he could be trying to herd them cause this is nothing.
I'd like to see what Solas says to that. I always envisioned Solas being like awakening Anders where he is somewhat sarcastic but a little defensive when it comes to how mages should be treated. The concept art with him laughing in the tavern and his clothes really show that he is going to be down to earth and that person that is very funny when you least expect it.
I believe... ... ...that is supposed to be the Inquisitor actually. The one where Sera is doing the fist thing right? (For a short while I thought maybe that was Solas but then I was like 'doesn't look hobo/ pajama-y enough')
