[mythalenaste]

FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Pel Ashara
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Announcing the publication of her first book
WHEN: After Weisshaupt/Western Approach things calm down a bit
WHERE: Skyhold

[A somewhat monotone voice is heard over the crystals.]

It's Pel. Of Clan Ashara. I've written a book and it's published now. It's about Dalish culture. I will be selling it at my yarn shop until the new Divine is elected, at which point it will be banned because it's a book about elves written by an elf. So buy it while you can.

[What? She's not a hawker. She's not a beggar, either.

She'll hang around on the crystal in case anyone has questions.]

I agree. Though I don't understand it. I'm not sure what seeming distant can get someone when you're not actually distant.

Private

[mythalenaste]

People aren't as likely to try to hurt you if they think you're tougher than they are.

Private

[justice_is_blond]

That doesn't seem to always work as well as one might hope.

Private

[mythalenaste]

Oh, some take it to be a challenge. Show the little elf her place, and all. But most people give you a wider berth if you look like you're about to kick their arse.

Private

[justice_is_blond]

Yes, well. It's the ones that take it as challenge that are the problem. I've healed plenty of injuries, but no one enjoys taking them. I know from experience.

['As do you' remains unspoken.]

Private

[mythalenaste]

You can't prevent those ones from doing anything they've made up their minds to do.

Private

[justice_is_blond]

On that, you and Justice disagree. I'm not altogether certain where I stand on it.

Private

[mythalenaste]

Well. I can't prevent them.

Private

[justice_is_blond]

Mm. Point.

I'll... speak with you more when you get back?

[And hopefully not about drastic measures that are sometimes taken to try to stop people from doing what they've decided to do.]

Private

[mythalenaste]

Of course.
