NOTES: gentle cw: she's a creepy murder who's been socialized by a dragon blood cult. a nice girl, but no boundaries.

[ A pleasantly rich, silky voice with Nevarran accent speaks. ]

This is a very clever little device, isn't it. How delightful to be able to hear your voices before I even see you, I feel I know so many of you already.

And so, my darlings, I have a question for you. Who do you obey? Who do you serve? I have such a fascination with these divisions and their heads. What a funny little organization we are, with power broken so many ways and no single body at the top. Who is the leader then?

[heorte]

[ i mean, theoretically she has a point, but. ]

It's a unique arrangement, but it's working. If they're serving anyone, they're serving Thedas by opposing Corypheus and the Venatori.

[bloodandsand]

That's quite a lot of people to serve, but I suppose one may do such a thing. I can't begin to fathom it myself.

[heorte]

Even were we to place a single body at the head of our organization, it wouldn't change who we were serving. Is that strange to you?

[bloodandsand]

Hm, a bit. My beloved served a greater purpose, of course, but even if she hadn't, I believe I would have served her exclusively.

[heorte]

[ squints ]

So you didn't believe in her cause?

[bloodandsand]

I believed in her and her visions, but even if I didn't, that's not especially relevant. I belonged to her, to be used as she saw fit.

[heorte]

When you say belonged, how do you mean?

[bloodandsand]

Goodness, you all must speak entierly in code at every moment of every day if you're not in the habit of taking someone at their word.

I mean exactly what I said! I was hers.

[heorte]

That can mean many things.

[ squinting intensifies ]

Is she accompanying you?

[bloodandsand]

Well then, allow me to assure you I mean it most literally.

My beloved? No, she's quite dead and what little of my soul that remained died with her.

[ Casually said, with the confidence of one who is speaking an obvious truth.]

[heorte]

[ relatable ]

I'm truly sorry, then.
