Hello, everyone. I'm Aro. I know some of you already, I'm sure, from the unfortunate snowbound arrival last month, and then the...incident with that mine, and now some more new faces have arrived too! Anyway.

I'm sure there's many more of you that I don't know. I know that some of you are from this world, and some of you are from others, as I am, but...we're all here, in this city, which is ruled by something called the Inquisition, as far as I can tell, and. Well.

[ A deep breath, while he thinks very carefully about how to word this. ]

While I'm grateful for the hospitality, and please don't think I'm not. There must be more to this place, this world, than Kirkwall. Getting out to see Amaranthine was brilliant, even though we were there to bring the others back. Don't any of the rest of you want to explore? We can go together, make a quest out of it!

And those of you who live here, or who've been here for a while, tell me of the other lands, and cities, and places of this world. Tell me where you like, tell me where I should visit. I just need to know where to start.

[ If you happen to be in Kirkwall to hear this in person, Aro will be the young half-elf sitting on a wall by the side of the road, with a flute dangling from his fingertips. He's very pale and blond, hair short enough for the slightly pointed tips of his ears to show.

Both before and after the broadcast, he'll be seen playing the flute, sounding out a variety of folk songs from his own world. They're strange to people here, but it all sounds like home to Aro.

[ It's not something that Six is comfortable with either; she had been trapped, once, to a man who had loathed her and treated her terribly, to a home that thought she was worth nothing, and she detests the idea of not claiming her freedom again. She had been young the last time but now? Now she has experience, strength, power. Now she can protect herself and others without fearing falling apart.

Her hand goes to the hilt of the sword at her side, the broken one she carries with her, and she takes a deep breath. There is no place for it - or her - here. There is no tie, nothing to keep her settled. There is a world to wander through and she will not stand idle. ]


I am not afraid either. They may try to stop us, but I do not fear their wrath.

[ Slowly, she closes her eyes and bows her head. She's silent for a moment, but - ]

You have my blade, should you wish to leave.

I am sure you have other skills that are equally as useful.

[ Six had spent the last ten years of her life working to develop her skills with the blade, with a greatsword in hand, proving herself - to others, to her past, to herself. If she can use it to help protect someone then she knows it will all have been worth it. ]

I'll be at your side, then, wherever you may go. You know where to find me, should you need me before then. You and Iessa both.

I would be glad to come and see her.

[ And Aro himself, of course, but that doesn't need saying. ]

I will visit whenever you have the time for me.

Tomorrow night is acceptable. Tell me where to meet you and I shall come.

I know of it. It will not take me long.
