Greetings, Inquisition. It is truly a pleasure to be welcomed amongst your ranks, even in these strange times.

[ The voice is soft, formal, a touch accented - certainly not Ferelden by any stretch. Well educated, probably, at least from the intonation. ]

My name is Sidony Venaras, lately of Nevarra, and I have come to fill any gaps that you might have in your medical needs. [ And, quickly - ] Yes, I am well aware that there are magical means of healing, but magic cannot cure everything. A doctor can often be required. It wouldn't do to forget that.

[ She doesn't necessarily have anything against mages, exactly, but it might not seem that way. ]

If anyone can inform me of any healers or doctors I might confer with then I would appreciate it. You have my thanks in advance, and I appreciate the support should it be given.

Might I ask why my heritage is of such importance?

[exequy]

I might have heard your name before.

[ oh, shit. ]

Nevarra City.

[ He hesitates, because he isn’t sure; if they ever met at all, it was when she was a toddler, three at most.

He could ask Nikos, but they’re in a fight again/always.

He hates being wrong, or risking being wrong, but after a moment he sucks it up. ]

We might be related. My father is Petros Averesch.

[ Ah, well.

This is something entirely unexpected, isn't it? There's a quiet pause, before - ]

A cousin of sorts, then.

[exequy]

Something like that.

[ And, with that out of the way, he isn't quite sure what to do with it. Is this what it's like for the Pentaghasts and the fourteen family branches? Times fourteen. He's quiet for a few awkward seconds, nice to meet you or other pleasantries evading him, then changes the subject. ]

Do you have any surgical experience?

[indissection]

It's a pleasure to hear from you, in that case.

[ There's a thread of anxiety; she doubts that news of her meeting this cousin will get back to her parents, just as she doubts that he'll have any contact with her mother to inform her of where she's run to, but she has to take care all the same. ]

I have enough to be useful.

[exequy]

[ Who has time to tell anyone's parents where they are? He barely even tells his own parents where he is. ]

Then I may need to use you soon.

[indissection]

Use me? [ She doesn't sound impressed, but. ] I'll gladly assist you, should you need it, cousin.
