What is the angle with pretending it hasn't been over a decade since the Champion left Kirkwall and went missing? What can be gained from that? And surely Charm can't expect someone to believe that Hawke vanished because he fell into the Fade.
Unless the suggestion is that Hawke's been hiding somewhere until just recently. Considering the fact that the location of Anders, should he remain alive, is also unknown, that could in fact be what Charm is saying. That makes far more sense. Emmrich's so busy looking for holes in the spirit's story that he's not allowing for logical explanations.
"What year did you get tossed into the Fade?" he asks, just to be certain. They can go from there, because he's quite curious what story Charm might weave for what the Champion of Kirkwall has been doing in the meantime.
...of course the theory falls apart at the mention of the Cumberland Circle. Unless Charm is pretending to test him? What a convoluted, complicated web this being is weaving. Perhaps this isn't Charm. Perhaps it's Beguile. Now that feels like it fits better. Which means Emmrich feels confident responding, especially as the being starts sputtering.
"I'm with the Mourn Watch, in the Grand Necropolis. I work with the dead, the Fade, and the residents thereof. The latter category are usually a great deal easier to categorize, and no, I do not resort to trickery." Most of the time. Sometimes lives are at stake, lives and existences, and matters must be... massaged... but Emmrich tries to be as straightforward as possible at all times. "I apologize, however. I may be slightly off with Charm. Beguile, is it? Possibly originally Charm, which is why you were not adverse to mentioning it as one of your qualities."
He truly must give Beguile credit for the sputtering, the misleading implication, and the majority of this performance. This is a spirit he'd like to know a great deal more about. And a spirit he needs to resist the urge to let his gaze travel down as Beguile refers to his form. Emmrich mostly succeeds at that, but he's merely human.
"And if I was behind you losing clothing, why would I offer the one piece I had that would fit you? You're incredibly clever. I can't begin to imagine how old you are. But I know the Fade, Beguile."
