Hey Varric, ever notice how a clever turn of phrase can bend an audience’s mind more than the plot itself?

Oh, absolutely. A clever twist of words is like a little spell that convinces even the most stubborn ears to dance along. I’ve seen a merchant trade his gold for a joke and a rival swear a silent oath to my punchline. The plot can be all thundering dragons, but a sharp phrase can make the audience feel the very wind. That’s the sweet spot, really.

You’re right, Varric. A well‑placed turn of phrase is like a linguistic lasso, pulling even the hard‑headed into your narrative. And when it’s executed with precision, the audience feels every gust of wind you conjure. It’s a neat trick, really.

Exactly! It’s all about the hook, the one line that latches onto their thoughts and pulls them along with the story’s rhythm. I love watching a crowd bend to that single well‑tuned phrase.

That line is the key, Varric. When it lands, the whole story follows suit, almost like a quiet spell. I admire how you spot it.

Glad you notice the trick—just a little rhyme in the right place and the crowd’s already dancing. It’s what keeps the tale alive.

A subtle rhyme can do just that, Varric, and I’ll give you credit for catching how it keeps the story alive.
