NOTES: Fictional war crime discussion! Probably mostly vague here, will use CWs if anything gets specific.

A quick note: we are going to be looking into the allegations that the Chantry's forces were overzealous with civilians in Tevinter. I am coordinating this for now. While we are out and about in Tevinter, if you hear anything about it, let me know. Even if they are only rumors and sound outlandish. And if it does not jeopardize anything else to ask people for more information, then by all means.

If this is something you would like to help more with on an ongoing basis, let me know. We're calling it Project Clothilde.

[ Only a little like pulling teeth— ]

Which part of the front?

forever!

[cozen]

What we heard came out of the push into Tevinter. Southwest of the Silent Plains, at least as far north as Trevis.

[sumptus]

I know the area.

[ —sounds like the front edge of an offer, but not for nothing. ]

You planning to do anything about it, if the rumors are true?

[cozen]

They are true,

[ simply. He didn't have any real doubt even before Cedric confirmed it. ]

And yes. Deciding what and how will be up to more than me, and I don't want to overstate what we can do. We cannot march into the Grand Cathedral and tell the Divine what to do. She doesn't believe she needs our help that badly. But I don't believe anyone here is interested in looking the other way.

[sumptus]

[ Why not? — sounds bitter enough in his own head; it doesn't need saying out loud. Altruism doesn't have to be real to serve a purpose. ]

Couldn't hurt your recruitment pitch, to set Riftwatch apart from the March.

[ There's a reason he came here instead of Skyhold, after all. It wasn't the lizard on a stick stands. ]

If you're sending somebody that way, I could help 'em blend in. Accents, how to dress, mannerisms, that kind of thing.

[cozen]

That would be fantastic. Would you like to start with me?

[ Not only as a test.

Just like this announcement isn't only a test to see who's sufficiently proactive, interested in the details, and otherwise a logical fit for him to press into service as a project co-lead, given his own relevant credentials are cared enough to push the matter and nothing else. ]

[sumptus]

I thought your cover was World's Bardiest Bard.

[ Does the Orlesian wash off? ]

[cozen]

[ Mostly! ]

When there is a party. Accents are not my strength.

[sumptus]

[ Filing that potential weakness away like a free breath mint, ]

Alright. Then let's start with you. Where and when?

[cozen]

[ Pleased, ]

Dining hall, after dinner tomorrow? If you can give me half an hour and something to practice, we can meet again sometime after that.
