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.

I've been taken for an elf, by dint of my pointed ears. By my own world's standards, though, I'm a half-elf. Do I count?

[matchymatchy]

[ what maniac goes around cutting up perfectly fine elfblooded ears ]

Why, I don't know, darling. How do you consider yourself?

[thunderproof]

❰ dunno, ask herian. ❱

I've found what I consider myself isn't half so important as what other people consider me. As far as Thedas is concerned, I'm an elf.

[matchymatchy]

Of course it is the province of a public life to be seen as much to see — but there are ways to bring these in harmony.

[ like cutting up someone's ears, again, the fuck. ]

[thunderproof]

Sure. Am I elfy enough for your purposes or not, and what are they?

❰ pls just get to the point, lady. ❱

[matchymatchy]

A small venture to support the orphans of Kirkwall. It asks only few hours of your time with an artist — I can vouch for his skill. After you've seen the portrait, you may decide for yourself if you wish it included.

[ aka after otto's gotten a look for herself. this voice sounds young, possibly too young for the purpose. ]

Elfy or otherwise.

[thunderproof]

So... you just want rifter elves to sit for portraits? For... orphans?

❰ what will the orphans do with the portraits, tho ❱

I'd be okay with that, I guess.

[matchymatchy]

Splendid! When should we meet?
