Leliana

So... let me get this straight. You were a cloistered sister?

The relationship between these two is that actually they approve of each other, and they do chat amicably, they also come to gossip together, and when it comes to matters of heart, if you are romancing Alistair, he will ask Leliana about how to woo the character, without making a fool of himself, when she tells him directly to be himself because, hey he is adorable.

While traveling together, we see that they do have some things in common, and Alistair doesn’t have a problem with inquiring about Leliana’s life, both as a bard in Orlais and as chantry sister, coming also to ask her if it wasn’t too silent there, because he had problems with it.

As far as dialogues go, this is another pair that makes you laugh when they start with the conversations, while Leliana is always gentle in answering; she also loves to make him feel inadequate about everything. On the other side if you have romanced Alistair and kiss him in front of her, she will comment how adorable the thing is.

Dialogues:

Alistair: So... let me get this straight. You were a cloistered sister?
Leliana: You must have been a brother before you became a templar, no?
Alistair: I never actually became a templar. I was recruited into the Grey Wardens before I took my final vows.
Leliana: Do you ever regret leaving the Chantry?
Alistair: No, never. Do you?
Leliana: Yes. You may not believe it, but I found peace there. The kind of peace I've never known.
Alistair: It used to get so quiet at the monastery that I would start screaming until one of the brothers came running. I would tell them that I was just checking. You never know, right?
Leliana: I... no, I never did anything like that. I enjoyed the quiet.
Alistair: Suit yourself. The look on their face was always priceless.

--------------------------

Leliana: What was that... soup you made for supper last night?
Alistair: Ooh, that? That's a traditional Fereldan lamb and pea stew. Did you like it?
Leliana: Oh, so... it was lamb then? It had a certain... texture I don't normally associate with lamb.
Alistair: They didn't make lamb and pea stew for you in Lothering?
Leliana: We ate simply there. Whole grains, made into biscuits or bread, and vegetables from the garden, cooked lightly. No heavy stews.
Alistair: Ah, so the last lamb you had was probably cooked Orlesian style. Food shouldn't be frilly and pretentious like that. Now here in Ferelden, we do things right. We take our ingredients, throw them into the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color. As soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that's when I know it's done.
Leliana: You're having me on.
Alistair: (Laughs) You need to eat in more Fereldan inns.

--------------------------

Alistair: You know, I've heard about the Orlesian bards.
Leliana: Who hasn't? They're quite famous, after all.
Alistair: The stories I heard were a little... racier. It had to do with how a bard assassinated her target. How they were... lulled into complacency.
Leliana: If those stories were true, who would ever agree to entertain a bard in their court?
Alistair: Oh, I don't know, there's a certain allure to danger, isn't there? And besides, you couldn't all be assassins, could you? I'd take my chances. If the stories were true, that is.
Leliana: We had rules about that sort of thing. Strict rules.
Alistair: Such as? You're not going to tell me, are you?
Leliana: Let's just say I had plenty of reasons to join the Chantry, shall we? And leave it at that.

--------------------------

Alistair: I will never get over how quietly you are able to move.
Leliana: It took me years and years to learn and even then I am not the best at it.
Alistair: So you didn't sneak around when spying?
Leliana: We all had different ways of doing things. Some preferred not to be seen at all, to cloak themselves in shadow and darkness. I realized that it is not such a bad thing to be seen, as long as you do not stand out and are quickly forgotten. I specialized in blending in, not drawing attention and looking like I had every right to be there. It is invisibility, but of another kind.
Alistair: Ah, yes, but I heard you often seduced your targets. They'd remember you.
Leliana: Not if they died...
Alistair: Oh.
Leliana: Dying while in the company of a lovely seductress... tell me that isn't a good death.
Alistair: I don't know if I should take you seriously... but you scare me sometimes.

--------------------------

(After leaving Lothering)

Alistair: So what do you think will happen to all those people we left behind in Lothering?
Leliana: Some of them will find their way to Denerim. Many will die. As the Maker wills.
Alistair: Don't you wish you could have stayed there? To help more people, I mean?
Leliana: If the Blight isn't stopped, everyone will die. This is the greater good we're serving, both of us, right here.
Alistair: So it's all right to let some people die for the greater good? I... I'm not so sure about that. I felt bad leaving all those people there, all panicked and helpless.
Leliana: You're doing what you must, Alistair. There will be worse to come yet... you will need to steel yourself, you know this.
Alistair: I've never been very good at that. The steeling myself part. I find it better sometimes to just be a little weak. I'm all right with that, really.
Leliana: I don't believe you. And either way, it's not as if any of us has a choice.

(If the Warden is in a romance with Morrigan)

Alistair: So have you heard? Morrigan and him are... you know.
Leliana: Have you nothing better to do than to spread idle gossip? And besides, he can probably hear us both. You're not being very discreet.
Alistair: No, look, he's not even paying attention.
Leliana: Hmmm. Maybe. You don't... think that he's serious about it, do you? The woman is a vile fiend.
Alistair: Well, look here, now who's an idle gossip? Me-ow!
Leliana: You're the one who started this, I might remind you. And I'm... well, I'm ending it!

--------------------------

(If the Warden is in a romance with Alistair)

Alistair: So... you're female, Leliana, right?
Leliana: I am? That's news. When did that happen?
Alistair: I just wanted some advice. What should I do if... if I think a woman is special and--
Leliana: You want to woo her? Here's a good tip: you shouldn't question her about her female-ness.
Alistair: All right, yes. Good point.
Leliana: Why do you ask? Are you afraid things will not proceed naturally?
Alistair: Why would they? Especially when I do things like ask women if they're female.
Leliana: It adds to your charm, Alistair. You are a little awkward. It is endearing.
Alistair: So I should be awkward? Didn't you just say not to do things like that?
Leliana: Just be yourself. You do know how to do that, don't you?
Alistair: All right, forget I asked.

--------------------------

(If a male Warden is in a romance with Leliana)

Alistair: So... this thing you and him have going? Doesn't that violate your vows?
Leliana: What? What kind of question is that to just blurt out? What do we "have going"?
Alistair: Yes, I'm that blind. I so totally did not see you ogling each other before.
Leliana: He was not ogling me. Was he? Was he really ogling me?
Alistair: Now that you say it, I'm not sure. Maybe he wasn't ogling you. I don't know... I could always ask him...
Leliana: You can't do that! Could you? You couldn't do that...
Alistair: I could. But I won't. Next thing you'll have me pulling his hair and passing him love letters.
Leliana: I... just mind your own business. How inappropriate!

--------------------------

(If the Warden is in a romance with Zevran)

Alistair: So I'm wondering something... what exactly does a woman see in a man like Zevran?
Leliana: Oh, he's handsome enough for some. Why do you ask?
Alistair: No reason. It's just... doesn't he seem to be a bit too much? The hair, the clothing...
Leliana: I don't understand. A bit too much what? Do you have a problem with him?
Alistair: Beyond the fact that he's an assassin who's tried to kill us more than once. No... no, not really. Do women go for that sort of thing?
Leliana: Where I come from they do, oh yes.
Alistair: Huh. Really? I see.

--------------------------

(After Alistair's heritage is revealed)

Leliana: There are many great tales of lost kings who return to their lands to reign in glory...
Alistair: I am not lost. Nor, for that matter, a king. And there is nothing glorious about me.
Leliana: You are Maric's son; you are the rightful king of Ferelden.
Alistair: I am the son of a star-struck maid and an indiscreet man who just happened to be king. Look, I can't be king. Some days I have trouble figuring out which boot goes on which foot.
Leliana: Complete fools are made leaders of kingdoms all the time, and you're not a complete fool.
Alistair: What an utter relief.
Leliana: And don't worry about the boots. Kings don't need to dress themselves. that's what advisors are for, isn't it?
Alistair: And star-struck maids, apparently.
