[Anders moves to open the door but is beaten to it as a surface Dwarf stumbles out, already drunk enough to be singing loudly. He's left holding the door for him, Louis, and the confused dwarf until both humans are inside and the dwarf had chosen to become a temporary doorstop. There's laughter and noise inside the place, and Anders holds up two fingers for the server as he leads the way to a table.]

It's not too busy this evening. I'm normally not in here this early, there's always work to be done, but nothing is urgent tonight.

[The server brings over two large tankards and Anders trades him some coin before pushing a mug toward his guest.]

It's not the best Thedas has to offer by a long shot, but it's not the worst, either. Welcome to... here, Louis.

[He raises his cup in toast.]
