Hawke tries to think of the equivalent where she's from. "We had law enforcement and they governed the laws. People were allowed to speak up for their friends or give other stories, but ... I don't think we had anything exactly like that where I'm from. Maybe in one of the other nations. They had more tribunals." She could see Tevinter or Orlais having something like that, but in the end it all came back to the law or the leaders. "It's a monarchy, our king and queen are good sorts though, on the whole."

A lawyer though. "I can see it though. The first time we met you were flustered, but you're more relaxed at the moment." She grins at him, but he can't see it. Her gentle teasing is in her tone eat least. "I had to fight to the death when my friend was accused for a crime ... she definitely committed. We solve a lot more of our problems by stabbing each other, but who knows if that's much of a solution."
