A very heartfelt suggestion

FORM: Written message posted on the board
SENDER: Beleth, but she didn't put her name down. People who know her well enough to recognize her handwriting can probably figure it out.
RECIPIENT: Everyone in Skyhold
WHAT: A friendly request to not harass the halla, in the tone of a beleaguered retail worker.
WHEN: Put up on the board in the middle of the month, probably will be kept up there for a while.
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: humans are gross




[ The letter, hanging from the message board, has this to say:

'Due to several incidents that have occurred, this is a reminder for everyone that the halla currently with the Inquisition should not be approached unless you are accompanied by one of the Dalish. Furthermore, you are generally discouraged from attempting to poke, prod, ride, shave, and otherwise aggravate the halla.

This letter is not due to any ill will against any members of the Inquisition, this is simply the nature of the halla, and the Dalish will not be held responsible for any bitten fingers, broken limbs, and miscellaneous gorings that occur to those who disregard the advice given here.

Thank you for your time and support.'

A thirteen letter word! Good for you!




You see, THAT is condescension. My correspondence is correspondence. Do you see the difference?

She doesn't need a translator.

She writes with surprising eloquence. I was paying her a compliment.

Why is it surprising?

[ Just say it dude, you've shown your ass already. ]

A lively debate is always surprising. Especially outside of the University. To date we have not had success in inspiring any truly engaging conversation in Skyhold among any, human or otherwise.

Do you assume everyone needs a translator?

I often allow for the possibility. Especially in Skyhold.

And you are inexplicably and mildly offensive.
