Inquisition,

I understand there has been a temporary disruption in your administration, [ a light clap ] No matter! We'll muddle through it together.

Ottoline Gardet-Lorier — you may call me Otto — of Tantervale, and it's a pleasure to meet all of you by more than reputation. I'll be summering in Kirkwall this year and lending you my services, that we might find the diplomat inside each of us.

[ ayyy ]

Let's begin! Tell me: What is love?

On a related topic, I must speak immediately with those Rifter elves present.

Oh, but you must tell him of it as well! A little venture, to be sure, but I hope we might do our part. It would require only that you sit for an artist — a matter of a few short hours, he is very quick —

[utulien_aure]

I've no particular objection to sitting for portraits, my lady-

[Elf of the Crazed Artist Clan here, he's been the subject of portraits since before he can properly remember]

-but I would ask first what exactly you intend to use them for.

There's a great deal of interest about the Inquisition's work from those who can't be here in person. Put a few faces to a cause and everyone feels a bit closer to it — certainly more inclined to donate upon its behalf.

[utulien_aure]

There was some similar attempt once before, was there not?

[He already knows the answer, of course. It was certainly interesting to discover his cousin's visage in Inquisition propaganda.]

Quite! And about due for an update, I say.
