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?

Odd? Not at all. [ The question is a surprise, and it coaxes a small smile from the young woman. ] I have always wished to see Westeros, where I was born. Is it so strange that you, or anyone, might want to see a place they've heard much about?

[ If she had only heard tales of Thedas, she would never have believed them. Seeing the place for herself, with its magic and people... it's still difficult to believe. ]

I do not find it so strange, no. Yet there are many people in Thedas who would not share similar views.

You do not remember your place of birth?

No. I was born at Dragonstone, but we were quickly sent away across the Sea to escape slaughter. My brother's family had been murdered and we would have been next.

[ Hey, she asked. ]

I aim to return there someday. Soon.

( She makes a disgruntled sort of noise, almost at a loss of what to say. )

I -- you have my sympathies, although I know they are not worth very much. ( She is, however, too curious not to press on forward. )

What do you plan to do once you return?

To take back the throne that rightfully belongs to my family. [ To her, really, as the other Targaryens are gone. ] By any means necessary.

[ Hence the whole 'amassing an army across the sea' deal. ]

( Josephine cannot exactly empathize with the other woman's goals - she has lines she will not cross, at least when it comes to her personal life, but still. She can understand, so all she says is: )

An admirable goal.

[ She's made the other woman uncomfortable. It's understandable. ]

Thank you. [ There's a pause. ] Have you any other questions?

( So many she scarcely knows where to begin, but she feels like she's taken up enough of the other woman's time today, so she simply says: )

Not for now.
