I saw Oghren eat an entire ham by himself once. A whole ham! I like to eat, but I can't even begin to compete on that level. I wish you could meet him, too. You would probably like him - he's difficult at first, but he's the sort that grows on you. Like a fungus, as Anders used to say.
It can get lonely sometimes, being the only one of your kind around, or being one of a very few. Sometimes I miss the old days in the Alienage, when there were other elves around all the time, or being at Vigil's Keep with so many other Grey Wardens. Those times were each hard in their own ways, but there's something to be said for kinship.
