Good evening! I apologize for the late hour -

[ (all this in a pleasant Fereldan accent belonging to a young man, speaking like he's giving his excuses for being late to tea) ]

- but I'm trying to find the ferry. Am I too late for it?

[ You might be asking yourself: Who is this? How did he get hold of a crystal? Are there more members of Riftwatch who've been magically erased from the world?

Probably it's fine, though. Right? ]

What kinda rumours we looking for, here?

[shiftsandshades]

Who can say? I haven't had time to make mischief just yet.

[extortionate]

[ a blank slate. perfect ]

'Bout how tall would you say you are?

[shiftsandshades]

Not short.

How tall are you?

[extortionate]

Runt of the litter.

[shiftsandshades]

I'm sorry to hear it.

[extortionate]

I get by. So: You gonna tell us we known you the whole time?

[shiftsandshades]

Some of you do, certainly.

[extortionate]

Uh-huh. And we don't remember you because... ?

[shiftsandshades]

I've been away for some time.

I don't think you and I have met before, for what it's worth.

[extortionate]

I was away for some time.

[shiftsandshades]

How long?

[extortionate]

Three years. Got hitched.

[shiftsandshades]

Congratulations are in order.

Is your wife part of Riftwatch, too?

[extortionate]

Nah, minding the business back in Or-Lay.

[ is that fishing? not exactly. but it doesn't hurt to emphasize the outsider around a posh stranger. ]
