( A quiet clearing of the throat; one can naturally assume it is a very beautiful clearing of the throat, done by a very beautiful man. )

This matter of the phylacteries for rifters… it seems sensible. If they are such a valuable resource to the Inquisition, the closing of rifts, and so on, being able to find said resource if a rival power were to try and overpower them and abscond with them makes sense, I think. For their own safety, for our own safety. If Corypheus and his forces were, for example, to make an attack on a party closing a rift and kidnap those rifters for nefarious purposes, it would be better for all if we were able to find them as quickly as possible. The phylacteries are an established way of doing just this, no?

By all means, if you wish to see the world end, protest. Even if this is not your world, though, I think we can all agree that you are currently in it. It’s fate is not entirely irrelevant to you.

❰ why on the gods' green earth should she have to give him time, when he's the one who threatened her! it's not fair!!!

it is, as with most things in adalia's life, more frustrating than she could possibly articulate to be of an age that she knows her feelings mean nothing, the world isn't fair, and she needs to get over herself, and simultaneously be so driven to rail against these facts. as if she could change anything, as if anyone cares what she wants or what bothers her or if she's happy —

those feelings, too, are as much due to adolescent blubbering as they are anything real. but it's so easy to be caught up in them, and to want to be caught up in them. it's easier to be petulant and righteously offended than it is to swallow her pride and keep her head down when she has to. she deserves better, doesn't she? she deserves more — more respect, more consideration, more attention. she's fighting so hard to be reasonable, to be useful, she deserves to have her efforts acknowledged.

with another deep sigh, adalia flops her head into her arms and huffs. ❱

The office. I think I've found something interesting, but concentrating has been proving difficult.

[ because, dear, you are not the only person on the earth, and life isn’t fair.

Many people deserve many things, and iorveth will be the first to tell her not even half of people get them. Not even a quarter. Seldom few, because the world is cruel. Such is reality. She’s all deep sighs and petulance, and Iorveth waits it out quietly, until she cedes and tells him something new.

Ah. Discoveries. ]

Which office? There are many of them. [ and he’s snooped through several. ]

The Elven Artifacts project office. I work here.

❰ because she's a fine, upstanding employee of the inquisition, and she's trying to be a fine, upstanding citizen of thedas, even if she thinks it's completely ridiculous in so many ways. and okay, look, she doesn't do good things for a reward, but gosh, one would be nice sometimes, wouldn't it? some kind of break, or acknowledgment, or something.

...anyway. ❱

I think there may be an elven temple somewhere that we haven't found... I mean, I'm sure there are many, but there are some things that were found in one we have excavated that point to a different temple. Maybe. If I'm understanding all this right.

[aenseidhe]

[ ah, Iorveth's part of that project, so he knows the office she means, and sets off in that direction. ]

I'll help you look over it. See you shortly.
