[ A hubbub of noise, people shouting and laughing and then one rises above ]

Hello! Any healers who don't mind doing some work for free...

[ I'll not take charity! A gruff male voice that's interrupted by a female one You'll take what the young man can get for us, you fool! You near drowned out there! ]

Thank you, milady.

[ A cackle You hush you flatterer ]

We've had a small mishap with one of the fishing slops capsizing in the winter seas, minor injuries only! But we've a head wound that needs looking at, if anyone minds.

[Ignis clears his throat before he starts, almost as a polite acknowledgment that he's there -
despite it being through crystal communication.]

I would like to start by extending my gratitude in all that the Inquisition has done to protect and bring comfort to me and my friend. You have all been very encouraging and a credit to Thedas as a whole - which helps to bring me to the request I had in mind now.

I want to learn more about Thedas. I'd love to discuss your history, countries, customs, and all of those little things that help make your world unique and interesting. As it stands, so many of you have come forward to share your views and stories already. For that, I am very appreciative.

I was hoping I might take a stab at your library as well, but for obvious reasons, I cannot read the volumes housed there on my own. Of course, I would simply rope Prompto into helping me, but he has his own duties and desires to tend to. I was thinking that we might be able to find some volunteers willing to help me. To, uh, read to me.

[He pauses then, letting the request stand by itself.]

That failing, I always want to hear more stories. If you are willing to share, please tell me what are some of your favorite holidays or other cultural cornerstones of your country? Or even traditions your family had? Or historical stories? Anything that you'd like. I wish to have a broader sense of your world.
