FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Cyril and OPEN
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Cyril asks for help moving.
WHEN: Afternoon
WHERE: Sam's house
NOTES: None

Some of you may know that Sam recently left Kirkwall to reunite with his family. I'm very supportive of this idea but I was unable to go with him and...

I can't sleep in his house anymore. It's very lonely and I've always thrived with people around. I think this means it's time for me to move back to the Gallows, at least for now.

I could use some people to help me move some of my supplies. Anyone willing to help out?

Then after I'm moved in I was thinking of finding a way to distract myself. Maybe some drinks? As always, I could use some good company while I do that and I find that nearly all of us in the Inquisition qualify.

no worries <3

[ Well, at least he has a captive audience. There's warmth in Aro's voice. ]

Not really. We're more like half in half. Pointed ears, but not as large as an elf's. We can grow beards, apparently, although I'm abysmal at it. We're taller than humans but shorter than elves, and we live for hundreds of years, not thousands.

That explains why everyone here mistakes me for an elf, I suppose.

[samahl]

Yes, probably. That's a lot of baggage for you to take on. I apologize for that.

I always feel terrible for elves and elf blooded who come from the Rifts. You all seem to come from worlds where the elves are as they once were here. It must be such a culture shock.

[sorcerised]

It was, admittedly. But that's nothing for you to apologise for. I should be apologising to you, instead. It's awful, what Elves have to go through here. It's not at all like that where I'm from.

[samahl]

What is it like where you are from then? How are the elves treated?

[sorcerised]

By humans, you mean?

They get along well enough. Elves tend to keep to themselves, especially the High Elves. The ones that don't tend to be very long-lived, wise and skillful, and they're treated as such. Humans...I mean, I don't want to say no human thinks that humans are better than everyone else. There's people of every race who think their own are better. But as a rule? They tend to look up to Elves, if anything, and they'll get irritated when the Elves look down on them. Very different from here.

[samahl]

It sounds like it, yeah.

Sometimes I wonder who has a harder time adjusting, those Rifters from worlds similar in scope to Thedas but with different societal rules, or the ones who come from worlds with technology I could only hope to imagine....
