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?

I'm no scout either. The most I'd do is make sure they have a little better to eat than trail rations.

I'm sure they would appreciate the effort.

Well, maybe I'll teach you so you can go along on the next one.

Teach me to cook?

( She sounds surprised, as though the idea has never occurred to her. Which it hasn't, because she's a noblewoman.

Still, it holds a certain appeal... )

[Uh, well, she was mostly joking before, but...]

I mean, if you're interested, I could give it a shot?

( She sighs. Nonetheless, it's a pretty noise. )

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd have the time.

[Hey, stop that. Stop making her, like... feel stuff. That's rude and unacceptable.]

It doesn't have to take all day. I can come up with a list of some things that are quick and simple to make.

I suppose it would be nice to get out of the office...

( This? This is the sound of Josephine being swayed. )

And you won't be far if something big comes up, I guess?

[Plus, imagine everyone's expressions the first time Josephine shows up to a war table meeting with flour smudged on her cheek. How could anyone deny the world a moment like that?]

That is true.

( All right, she's convinced. )

In that case... when do you suggest we begin?

[This conversation really took an unexpected turn somewhere???]

W- Whenever you like, really. It'd take us all of half an hour to make some shortbread cookies, so if you've even that long to spare...

( tbh it was probably back when they started imitating their mothers )

I'm sure that I'll be able to steal thirty minutes away from somewhere.

( She has her ways, you know. Besides, this might even be good for her. )

[Yes, well, hopefully it won't also be Avery's last act in this world once Leliana notices... assuming she isn't ALREADY aware somehow. Which is probably entirely possible.]

That's good to hear. [And, surprisingly, it really is. As unusual as it may be for her, she's actually kind of looking forward to this upcoming social activity.] I'm usually down in the kitchens already, so I shouldn't be hard to find.

I'll let you know when I can find the time.

I'll see you then.
