FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Alistair
RECIPIENT: Grey Wardens & Other Shady Fuckers
WHAT: Shopping lists, probably
WHEN: Nowish
WHERE: From Halamshiral to wherever
NOTES: PLEASE THREADJACK, PLEASE GO OFF TOPIC, this is for bonding and chatter for Wardens + anyone else living in or around the Guild House/Camp Shady in the valley. If you're not sure your character would have been included then you're welcome to assume they were! He'd be liberal about who's on the list. He's just not bothering The Whole Inquisition. This is such a long note. I'm sorry, for that and for so much else.

Hello Wardens and... [ assassins and bards and blood mages? ] ...friends. This is Alistair; I'm in Halamshiral; there's a market that hasn't been burned down yet. Does anyone need anything?

If it's expensive, you may have to send me some money. Or tell me how it will stop the Blight. One of the two.

Lucci? He's a joy. And Zevran won't be riled up if I break your nose.

[ Maybe. Probably? Possibly. ]

[chainlightning]

He may get riled up if I come to him crying, though.

[ this sounds so idle

it is a threat

but just a baby one because she's still super touched by all your words, Alistair ]

[byblow]

While you're crying you can tell him your friend was asking whether or not his son was a problem.

[ It's an irrational sore spot that EVERYONE HERE should. not actually know anything about. But whatever, read his mind, can't blood mages do that?? ]

[chainlightning]

[ don't stereotype alistair ]

I imagine he and I will declare that you're both being ridiculously foolish right now, to start with.

Also, he might be jealous? Mal, that is, not Zevran.

[byblow]

[ SHOCKED, ASTONISHED, A GASPING INHALE: ] No.

[chainlightning]

I'm not very good at this, you know.

[ SULLEN NOW ]

[byblow]

[ Oh no.

But he still has to huff a little sullenly in return. He can't just melt. ]

It's not your fault he's a bastard.

[chainlightning]

[ sure you can ]

People can be mean when they're defensive.

[ #merrillwisdom

#again ]

[byblow]

Oh, well, if he's defensive--

[ Then clearly it's all fine.

Except the opposite of that.

But he's gone mumbly instead of sharp, which is progress. ]

I hope you're right about him not smelling too terrible. At least you'll have that.

[chainlightning]

You were, too. It just got worse from there.

[ ✿✿✿ ]

If all else fails, I'll push him into a lake.

[byblow]

He called me fancy!

[ But now he's gone from mumbly to self-mockery, which is also progress. ]

A really deep lake?

[chainlightning]

Grey Wardens seem very fancy to those of us who don't know you personally. I think it's the griffons.

[ c: ]

Well, that depends on whether or not he can swim. Also what's in the lake.

[byblow]

[ c..... :.... no. >:c That isn't what he meant. ]

Undead, I hope.

[chainlightning]

If there were undead in the lake, I don't know why they would wait until I pushed him in to come out and attack us.

[aintwejust]

I'm just wonder'n why you're propos'n when you're happily settled is all. Fatherhood not sitt'n well?

[byblow]

Keep talking.

Be aware that I'm not actually with Zevran, first.

But then keep talking.

[aintwejust]

Oh. Well then I take it back. Mighty fun to play uncle to the little ones. Means you get to wind 'em up and give 'em back to their parents.

[byblow]

[ GLARES AUDIBLY, he can't turn off his irritation that easily, Mal better watch his back

for like an hour

and then he'll be over it. ]
