[Confronted with what could (and very likely would) be the harbinger of their death, people's reactions say quite a lot about them. Hawke's always found it interesting, having been said harbinger a number of times. Often it's just angry cursing and threats. Sometimes it's surprising.

[She tilts her head a little, smiling.] And you? I want to kill you. So I'm going to. [Her hand reaches for her bladed staff, drawing it off her back.
