Salut, everyone.

If you are in Scouting, or if you are half in Scouting, [ like him, Actual Diplomacy Member, ] or if your work often overlaps or, [ sighing at the growing expanse of his own list and the futility of trying to meaningfully contain secrets, ] you work in Orlais enough to consider murderous Orlesians your problem—

[ Does that cover everyone? asks his pause. Yes, answers his lack of additional items. ]

—I need to meet with you. After dinner this evening, if you can. If you can't, we'll arrange something else.

I am going to teach you about how bards signal each other. The very basics. It won't be fun, [ is a choice he is making, because he resents the everlasting war for making him feel obliged to do this, ] but it will be quick. If you want something more detailed afterwards, you can bring me a present and I will consider it.

[ OOC: The lessons will not be logged out because boooring; characters who participate via handwave can add a rudimentary understanding of this bard nonsense to their resumes. (In-depth lessons will cost you a thread though. >:]) ]
