FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Kostos
RECIPIENT: Everybody
WHAT: Nothing remotely inflammatory
WHEN: Time is a manmade construct and I refuse to be bound by it
NOTES: Context.

The next time any of us— [ That isn't an all-inclusive us; he means, specifically, mages and rifters and maybe templars, but everyone can figure that out on their own. Or not. He doesn't care. ] —is in the position to make demands, I think we should make sure we have a say in which rifters go to which Circles. We could pick in turns. Like choosing teams.

[ That's all. ]

[ipseite]

I am most flattered, Enchanter Averesch.

[exequy]

—or the Provost.

[ See, there's a back-up option, don't be flattered, he barely likes you. ]

He looks easy to hide behind. I wouldn't have to bend at all.

[ipseite]

( no it's too late. )

I shall speak with my dressmaker at once, Enchanter, regarding the breadth of my skirts that you might better hide behind them.

[exequy]

That's—

[ Being insulting and contrary at everyone is a much easier and more familiar rhythm to maintain. But he brought this fumbling on himself. ]

thoughtful.

[ipseite]

Doubtless how I shall be remembered. 'Mme de Cedoux, a most accommodating woman'.

[exequy]

[ipseite]

[ A little flatly, because if he were a more charming person he'd feign disbelief better, but he's not enough of an optimist to really think the world wouldn't find insults to hurl at pretty much anyone regardless: ] No.

[ipseite]

( a tone of concession; ) A past life, as it were.

[exequy]

I'm— [ haltingly, convinced this is a ridiculous sentence for multiple reasons, beginning with the fact that he doesn't believe there is any world except Thedas, and also not actually giving a damn about hospitality, except that he appreciates Petrana ] —glad to hear we are more hospitable than somewhere, in some way.

[ipseite]

Ah, then you must not begrudge me the compliment; it would be most exceedingly pleasing to have offered Thedas something in return for all it has given me.

[exequy]

[ He snorts.

And then regrets it.

And then doesn't know what to say about that, so. ]

[ipseite]

( wryly: )

Yes, quite.
