Rachette doesn't kick in the door. She's not a barbarian. But the door is definitely opened in a manner that is heavier and harder than strictly necessary. Being The Warden was pain enough; being a warden is...irritating.
"He talks too much."
That's a possibly very petty thing to complain to the mage (who has explained to her that he is not a mage, but she remains not entirely convinced of this) about his...companion? Compatriot? Person from his same world. But talking to her inmate, a man who seems to prefer the name Silva to any of the other potential names he could be going by, is as frustrating as talking to Sten sometimes. Roundabout. Never to the point. Why does nobody ever just say what they mean?
The dwarf huffs and blows a few strands of silver hair from her face. "He uses too many words in strange ways. Would it kill him to just talk like a normal person instead of blathering on? Before I kill him."
She won't. That's not what she's here for, and he hasn't given enough reason to make her want to. But by the Stone and all of the Ancestors, he makes her job so difficult. Fighting a mob of darkspawn sometimes seems preferable.

At some point in his exploration, Silva must trip across a particularly sensitive circuit. Q gasps and clutches, his nails scratching at Silva's back. He has to hold on, because that was almost enough to make his legs give out. "The hell was that!?"

"You tell me. I'll have to remember that one." Not even a yellow, much less a red, so it must not have hurt. (Or at least not too much.)
His other hand runs along hip, lower, taps behind a thigh. "You won't break my back. Up."
