FORM: Sending Crystal, god help us all
SENDER: Luana Marcos
RECIPIENT: all
WHAT: Someone let her figure this out
WHEN: Today
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: None

You know, I cannot figure it out. Do we hate magic or don't we? Because Inquisition means something totally different where I'm from and I'm getting real mixed messages around here. Bad enough that some of you think that I'm like. What. A hallucination or something? Don't think I don't hear what you say about those of us who didn't grow up in a place where you got everywhere without a car.

[BUT THAT SAID:]

Okay so two questions.

One: if I say spirit, or, maybe like. Fairy? What do you say in response.

And two: What's the next biggest city around here?

[rowancrowned]

I have never kidnapped a child.

[ yet. ]

[pyrazine]

Good for you.

[rowancrowned]

[ where's his medal, huh?? ]

The answer to your question is a longer one, but no, no kidnapping of children.

[pyrazine]

Well. Good to know.

[bouchonne]

You are ever so dull, good sir.

[rowancrowned]

You've plundered the Inquisition's Kirkwall stores of titillation, dear ser Byerly, and I am forced to ration out my excitement for when it is truly merited.

[bouchonne]

Tell me you practice some perversions.

[rowancrowned]

I am sure there are any number of faults in the way I conduct myself, but I'd hardly name any perversions.

[bouchonne]

Oh, come now. Everyone's a little perverted in some way or another. Indeed, in my experience, a man who claims no perversions is the most deliciously twisted of all.

[rowancrowned]

'Deliciously' twisted, Byerly?

[ can an eyebrow raise be audible. what are you implying, good sir. ]

[bouchonne]

Quite deliciously. What, you don't think I dislike perversions, do you?

[coquettish_trees]

[ delighted gasp! ]

Byerly! Were you knighted?

[bouchonne]

He just respects me. And rightly so. I'm respectable.

[coquettish_trees]

[ sounding genuinely bewildered: ]

Ah, I am confused now! I had thought my grasp on your language to be quite a good one, but... did I mistake it, because the spellings are the same? Comment dit-on 'respectable' en la langue de commerce?

[bouchonne]

You have the right of it. "Respectable."

[coquettish_trees]

[ 'you learn something new every day' noise ]

[limier]

Have you not?

[ excuse you, elf collector ]

[rowancrowned]

Have I, in my dotage, failed to recall something? I would welcome enlightenment.

[ they’re all of age, coupe!!. ]

[limier]

When did you come of age, Provost?

[ believe he did. whatever. seven thousand years, or three. ]

[rowancrowned]

Well before I arrived in Thedas.

[limier]

And would you consider those present adults, by such past reckoning?

[rowancrowned]

You would prefer me to play the deluded elven supremacist, looking down my nose at everyone here, regardless of ability? That’s hardly fitting with the Inquistion’s egalitarian ways.

To each by ability, regardless of age.

[limier]

Of course. You would, naturally, turn a very skilled toddler toward combat.

[rowancrowned]

Is that when you began? Surely, for how else would you have become such a skilled Templar. My own Legolas had his first bow at twenty.

[limier]

And what is a Legolas?

[ hold up ]
