FORM: Sending crystal.
SENDER: Twisted Fate.
RECIPIENT: Everyone!
WHAT: The party returns, and Fate has a request.
WHEN: Backdated to Cloudreach 29.
WHERE: Skyhold.
NOTES: N/A

Ah, Skyhold. Terribly good to be back home. I'm certain you all missed me, didn't you?

In any case.

Clan Frandruil has notified me that they wish to send halla our way. Terribly considerate of Keeper Shoshanna to show such gratitude. I don't particularly care what the Inquisition wishes to do with them, so I defer to those part of Clan Ashara. They are yours, as far as I am concerned.

In any case, something of more immediate concern and interest to me: I've received a mark from the rift we dealt with. As terribly excited as I am to be blessed with this, I'd like to do a little more research on this. [And maybe remove it, but he has a feeling that's impossible.] Those of you already familiar with your own magical glowing green marks, please, enlighten me with whatever you know.

And before I forget: Sera, I've placed your things back in the room in the tavern. If you happen to find anything of mine left in there, it's yours to do with.

I think that ought to do it. I'll be in the tavern, drinking myself silly.

Oh-- well. Thank you, for saying that. [It's not often that he does, but he greatly appreciates it.]

It doesn't bother you? [Not that he'd have changed his mind about Nerva on account of other people.] And I don't know about that one; Keeper Shoshanna is a bit of a stampeding old lady terror.

No. We had fun, Twisted Fate, but that's all it was. I would never begrudge a friend for finding happiness.

I appreciate your understanding. And your friendship, of course.

You did much for the clan. And for me.

It was the least I could do. At least we were able to bring peace. I hope it sticks.

It's not an outcome I was expecting by any means. I hope it at least goes on long enough until the clan is ready to move on to another region.

Not that I'm entirely fond of the village, either, but they're better off without each other.

It did seem like a very toxic situation for everyone involved.

If it wasn't what you were expecting, what did you think would happen?
