FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Fenris
RECIPIENT: Everyone!
WHAT: It's so much fun to be back!?
WHEN: Nowish
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: No warnings.

I never thought I would return to live in this city, of all places.

[Fenris sounds less than thrilled. But he’s at least trying out this ‘communication’ thing for once. Varric would be so proud.]

How do you know when you’re truly home? What makes that different from merely a place where you happen to live?

[Honestly curious here. He’d once thought he’d almost come close to that before in Kirkwall, but at the moment, he’s not so sure. Maybe there’s just something... off... about returning to a place after a long time away. So much changes and yet remains the same all at once.]

I'll be sure to. [It's a little... almost comforting in a strange way, to know that others don't have it figured out, either. Most others have gotten a head start on things that he didn't have.]

I've never felt it either. [Not entirely true, he's pretty sure he did feel it, among the Fog Warriors and... among Hawke and the others. It's just not something he wants to admit.] Which is why I'm so interested in understanding it better. I wonder, though, if it's even possible to ever return to that same place, after it's gone. It will change, after all... and so will you, for that matter.

Might make it better, if there are changes. Might feel more welcoming and home-y, instead of strange and otherly. You're older and wiser and might understand what you left, why you left.

Returning with a new perspective... I hadn't considered that. [It might be too early to tell, but he may have to keep this in mind for his time in Kirkwall.] But you're right. Familiar places never stop being familiar, no matter how long you're gone.

I suppose... it all depends on whether or not that 'welcoming' aspect is there as well.

[He would not feel very welcomed in Tevinter, no matter how familiar it may be. But Kirkwall... well. Who knows?]
