Alistair *rocks a bundle in his arms*: Sleep little baby, and *yawn* do the sleeping thing where you close your eyes and stop crying.

*He pauses in his rocking, his weary eyes opening a slit to peer down at the silent blanket in his arm.*

Alistair: Blessed Andraste, finally!

*puts his baby to bed, then dashes off to his own, falling face first into the mattress*

*Warden climbs out of bed as Alistair twists in a half sleep*

*Approaches nursery*

Warden: Alistair, why is there a sack of potatoes in the cradle?

Alistair *bolts upright*: Oh Maker!

*Both parents run down to the pantry to find their baby fast asleep in the potato barrel*

*Alistair reaches for the baby*

Warden: What are you doing? She's finally down, leave her in there!

Alistair *yawns*: Do you ever miss the easy days of the Blight?

Warden *wraps her arms around him, both struggling to stay upright*: Constantly.
