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.

Tsk tsk. I go where I please. Right now, I'm pleased to be with you. If someone desperately needs me, that's what the crystal is for.

You're awfully keen on not taking advantage of my very open invitations, Nerva.

[She looked at him, eyes narrowing slightly, gears behind her eyes moving - then she grabbed the wine bottle in one hand and his wrist in the other and tugged him up away from the table.]

I wouldn't make assumptions about what I am and am not keen about.

[Now this is exciting. Fate raises his brows, then grins sharply as he follows her lead.]

Then perhaps you need to show me what you want.

[She pulled him along, up the stairs of the tavern, past the room that was no longer his, through the attic and out onto the battlements.]

If you require an in-depth demonstration, I will give you one.

[She shoved open the door of the next tower down with her shoulder - both hands otherwise occupied - and pulled him into the dark only semi-completed room. Private enough. She didn't release his hand, but she did set down the wine bottle, before pushing Fate up against the stone wall and taking a hard, deep kiss.]

[She'd show him who was keen.]
