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.]

Hell if I know. I've never stayed in one spot long enough for that to happen. For me, 'home' is certain people and that's it.

Hey, didn't you have a mansion here?

[circleprodigy]

...a fair question. In times past, when I was still in a Circle tower, I could have more easily answered you. I belonged there, prospered. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. But...that time is over, and I can no longer see myself within those walls.

[Her tone is slightly melancholy at that; it was her home for the longest time, flaws and all, but she would be lying -to him and herself- if that still applied. For good or ill (and there is plenty of both), she now belongs to the world outside.]

Home's got the cleanest pillows.

[James had to think about this one for quite some time, Fenris. So your answer is totally sincere.]

The people who are there with you.

Kind of depends on the person. Everyone thinks of it a little differently. [Prompto's been thinking about this himself, for his own reasons.] To me, home is the place where you feel like you're safest. Or the people you feel safest with. The place or the people you feel relaxed with and feel like you belong.

[meds4sale]

It is simply what you make it. [Like so many subjective things.]

[limier]

You grow out of it.

[ it's how you know you'd grown into it ]

[nonsibi]

People. That's the only thing that makes a difference.

[Firm; this is clearly a definitive answer.]

[sulena]

You ache for it whenever you are away.

[sistertohermen]

I don't know. If you ever find the answer, let a woman know?

I think maybe...it's something you don't know when you're there. That you miss it when it's gone, and you only realize it in hindsight, but...that's just me guessing from sentimental crap, I guess. I've never felt that myself.
