I seem to recall the purple line here being described as "the single most inappropriately callous Purple Hawke line in the game."
Doesn't read as callous to me as just... Hawke truly being at a loss for what to say and saying the first thing that comes to mind (and it Not Being Good)
for making my anxious ass pick these rude answers. No, it's fine. It's fine. It's virtual exposure therapy. :P
