Well then, how should I begin... I wasn't always a noble. Six years ago, I was just a refugee in the slums of Lowtown, taking any job I can find so that I could fund an expedition that I hoped would help me raise the coin to win back my mother's family estate, and keep the Templars off my back. So when a dwarf named Anso tried to hire me for a sketchy job, I accepted.

[she then goes on about how the job turned out to be a trap by slavers, how it was actually meant for Fenris, how he later appeared to ask for her assistance in killing his former master; a magister from the Tevinter Imperium, and how she was offended about being used but accepted to help anyway because she despised slavers. She then tells him that the target had already left by the time they reached Danarius' home.]

—after that, even though he was offended to learn I was another mage, Fenris decided to stay, and offer his aid to me in order to repay his debt. And that concludes the story of how we met.
