FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: All characters on the Galicia and the Walrus.
WHAT: DONT BE THAT BITCH.
WHEN: During the boat flight from Minrathous.
WHERE: Boats, Ocean.
NOTES: oooh god I’m on my phone don’t make me link to thing.

Those on the Galicia saw it first hand, but to those on the Walrus, the Venatori abroad the warship pursuing us have made us an offer of safe passage in exchange for the currently incapacitated Archon Radonis, who is aboard.

I would hope [ thranduil’s voice low and dangerous. ] that no one need reminding that the Venatori are liars and their promises worth nothing.

[ but there’s one in every batch who might think first of saving their own skin, and that’s why thranduil is hanging out with the (unconscious) radonis and his friend, a knife. ]

And I would think that we would far prefer to strike fear into the hearts of the Venatori after the ordeal we were put through in Minrathous, with some of our comrades still missing and presumed captured, rather than simper and beg their mercy.

[ Wow let him just jump straight in on that. ]

According to whom? We came here to rescue people, not to kill the Archon. We need him as much as they do.

[--excuse you. Flint fixes him with a penetratingly cold look. Sorry kid, this is an upper management kind of conversation.]

See to Vane. I believe he has plans for you in the coming hours.

[ He's not really worried about who's in charge. Also, he's not actually a kid, excuse you. ]

I will, I'll do my part. That doesn't mean I'll be a part of killing the Archon. We need him, especially if they need him. We'll have business here long after this battle is over, you must know that.

[He's a salty old lunatic trying to hold a conversation with his quartermaster. Everyone else in Thedas might be a child whose opinions he presently has no use for.]

Your concern is noted.

[It sounds like 'Go away.']

[ why is the universe eternally trying to thwart john silver's plans. ]

If your concern is for the welfare of the Archon, perhaps make sure you're doing everything you can to make sure we aren't captured by the approaching warship, ey?

[ john's redirect is maybe a hair more diplomatic, but it still amounts to the same thing: go away. ]

[ It also earns Silver a good deal more respect from Aro. ]

Yes, I will. Thank you, sir.

[ He'll move away. ]
