The worst country in Thedas—other than Tevinter—

[ A given. ]

—it is Orlais, right? We can all agree to that.

[ Look, he's bored. ]

Comments

[mereandrastianism]

[ This clearly doesn't warrant a response, but don't worry, it did hit rather sharply. ]

[elegiaque]

( halamshiral is, admittedly, still too much of a wound for her to joke about. pivoting, then, )

My condolences. I assume you came back because you missed me.

[sulahnan]

[ Good. Huff puff grr. ]

[heirring]

[A small clearing of the throat.]

For practical studies.

[mereandrastianism]

Including a great deal of agriculture, as I understand it.

[murderbaby]

Yes, you specifically. I'd hoped it was obvious.

[exequy]

Not the defining one.

[exequy]

Do you apologize afterwards?

[degenere]

A compliment, monsieur? I did not expect it and I am honored by it. You are correct, no University of Kirkwall could provide such an education as I have had. Very distinct.

[degenere]

Yes, you had the right of it the first time, mademoiselle. A great deal of agriculture, for farmers to study.

[heirring]

Some might say the engineering of how best to improve upon agricultural practices a far more noble art than when applied to the sport of knocking down walls and so on.

[No, but.]

—The point being, my dear Lady, that the University at Markham may have different focuses, but is thoroughly accomplished.

[mereandrastianism]

Which makes it a university, certainly, but perhaps not the sort one would think of as world-class.

[degenere]

Oh, thoroughly accomplished. If one is a farmer. Tell me, mademoiselle, have you ever knocked down a wall?

[degenere]

Precisely so. But Markham does become very touchy when it is pointed out to them, so we must either keep very quiet, or become very loud about it, and choose no road in the middle.

Not that the mademoiselle is of Markham. Only that she seems to have developed an inexplicably fondness for the place, I cannot think of why.

[degenere]

But of course the countryside is miserable in the summer months. That is why no one of Orlais would be found there in the summer months.

And even if that were not true, no, I could not agree. It is my belief that Orlais is not the worst country in Thedas, other than Tevinter. The worst country in Thedas, other than Tevinter, is Ferelden. Everyone knows that.

[heirring]

No. But that is hardly the point, Monsieur.

[muckspout]

Do you?

[muckspout]

[exsecutus]

Go fuck yourself with your fifteen, pigdick.

[exsecutus]

He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

It's better for being on fire.

[degenere]

To the contrary, mademoiselle. It is precisely the point. How can you speak so ill of knocking down walls when you have never done it for yourself? You must first try it.

[windyvoice]

Oh no, it sucks there too, but we aren't talking about where I'm "supposed to be from" huh.

[windyvoice]

Oh shit, this is weird. Are you his brother?

[bloodandsand]

Are you the sort who isn't particularly interested in sex?

[ A mystifying position, but not unheard of. ]

[heirring]

Then when you have an wall in need of collapsing, you are welcome to invite my participation.

However. That hardly detracts from the fact that the principles of mathematics and design used for the development of farming equipment is really so different from those utilized for any other engineering.
