FORM: Sending Crystal
SENDER: Josephine Montilyet
RECIPIENT: Everyone!
WHAT: A question! (Please talk to her, she's lonely.)
WHEN: Current
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: n/a


Good evening, everyone. My name is Josephine Montilyet and I am the Ambassador for the Inquisition. I've not had the pleasure of meeting as many of you as would like personally, so... I thought this might be an easier, more - ah - approachable way of getting to know each other better.

( She clears her throat as though to prevent herself from rambling. )

I must confess I do not know where to start. Perhaps a conversational ice-breaker will have to do. ( So much for not rambling. ) What do you miss most about your life before the Inquisition?

( She laughs. )

I miss cities too, Varric. But for the better or the worse, Leliana is very convincing.

lmao i'm sorry

[fightingale]

Or worse?

Josie.

hayyy friend

[theproperglove]

( Lightly: )

Leliana.

[fightingale]

You make it sound as though Skyhold is not everything you'd hoped.

( For anyone else the tone would be cool, at best; for Josie there is fondness woven into it, something verging on playful. )

[theproperglove]

( She sighs a long mock-suffering sigh. )

I did hope for less snow.

[fightingale]

It is bracing. What better way to invigorate ourselves for the challenges each day brings?

( :D )

[theproperglove]

I prefer tea, myself.

[fightingale]

Tea does not come with so breathtaking a view.

[theproperglove]

I do believe that depends on how one brews their tea.

[fightingale]

Oh? Have you been keeping company beyond your appointments?

[theproperglove]

I do not need company to enjoy the view, Leliana.

[fightingale]

You know as well as I that the company can be the view.

[theproperglove]

Oh, I was not disputing that. Rather, there is no-one whose view I am currently, ah, enjoying.

[fightingale]

That's a shame.

( That's not a shame. It's one less person she needs to consider threatening. )

[theproperglove]

It is unfortunate, but we cannot all be successful in our romantic endeavours.

[fightingale]

If there is not anyone to catch your eye then you can hardly be considered unsuccessful.

( Still, perhaps Josie can imagine the way Leliana is scrutinising the crystal. )

Unless there is.

[theproperglove]

I consider the lack to be a failure in itself. It is... probably for the best.

action.

[fightingale]

( This is no longer a conversation for the network; behold Leliana, casually appearing in Josie's office, arms crossed and eyebrows quirked. )

You can't be serious.

action.

[theproperglove]

( Josephine folds her arms over her chest, looking up from her desk, where her crystal sets, to share balefully at Leliana. She should have expected this. )

I don't know what you mean.
