NOTES: (1) Please threadjack and post your own would-you-rather top levels to your heart's content. (2) I think new rifters won't have their own official crystals until they get back to Kirkwall but please just have them participate over someone's shoulder or whatever else for fun.

I'm not actually walking across Ferelden again, because I'm not allowed to be in Ferelden, but if I were, you know, I think I would deserve some kind of medal. The Medal of Trudging. Awarded for walking clear across a country way too many times.

Anyway.

[ Anyway. The unspoken point is that he is bored, and it's time for a game. ]

Would you rather— [ continued in comments for organization's sake. ]

I admit, I will take sleeping on plain straw, at this point. Mattresses sound like absolute heaven right now.

I'm alright by myself. I've been on my own a long time.

I don't suppose there are baths where we're going to?

[justnice]

Huge tubs of them! And they heat it up. Makes it almost worth needing one. [ but a pause, ] Just because you can be alone doesn't mean you've got to be.

I think I can honestly say that after all this time spent out in the snow, I have never been so happy at the prospect of a warm bath.

[He smiles to himself on his end of the crystal connection.]

I would have argued otherwise, once. But I've come to see since that there are distinctly better ways to go about things than being on one's own.

Still. If it comes down to it, I'm used to my own company.

Well if you ever get tired of it, no one's moved into Theo's old bunk yet. [ his voice lowers, as though imparting a secret: ] I took the blankets, since he's not using them, so whatever room you get told to go to — just ask for Finch, if it's not set up proper.

[Newt lowers his own voice, assuming that this shared information is secret on some level.]

Duly noted. I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
