FORM: Sending crystal.
SENDER: Thranduil
RECIPIENT: Kirkwall Inquisition
WHAT: Field trip to finally go to Solasan
WHEN: Present
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: Anyone who was involved originally gets first dibs.

It has not escaped my notice, despite all recent events, that I have been in Thedas for one year. [ he lets that sit for a moment. ] Thanks are in order; first to the Inquisition as a whole for their continued hospitality and second, to my own people, for their kindness. Ma serannas. I am pleased that there are elves in worlds other than Arda.

[ his tone switches as he gets into the meat of the announcement. ]

Several months ago, the Seeker and I came into possession of a key. With the events in Orlais as well as the move, we did not have a chance to use it until recently. I am seeking volunteers to travel west. The area, under Inquisition control, presents no dangers beyond local wildlife and the standard dangers of the desert, but I would advise that only those confident enough to handle themselves in combat come forward.

And, ah-- [ styled as an afterthought, but far too deliberate. ] I would like someone confident with written Elven.

Comments

[eolasemah]

How far west, hahren?

[rowancrowned]

Further west than Skyhold, and south of the Anderfels. Perhaps a two and a half week journey, assuming good weather.

If I had foreseen the relocation, I would have pursued this sooner. The travel would have been much shorter.

[eolasemah]

Ah... perhaps too far for me, then. But please, let me help with preparations, however I can.

[rowancrowned]

Of course. I do not suppose you would mind minding Bill whilst I would be away?

[eolasemah]

Of course not, lethallin. He will want for nothing.

[rowancrowned]

Do not let him bully you into extra oats, Sina.

[ he toys with the crystal, turning it between fingers, and then addresses sina privately. ]

I have heard you will be wed soon. It is tradition to heap gifts upon the couple, and I assume it will be the same in Thedas. Do the Dalish have some tradition around this as well?

[eolasemah]

[A giggle, before she reverts to the private talk as well.]

Oh, please don't. The only gifts should be between the intended.

[rowancrowned]

And none from sentimental hahren?

As you like. And congratulations, Siuona. I hope he is a balm to your heart, and a source of strength.

[eolasemah]

[Another giggle.]

Serannas, hahren. Will you come? I think my clan would like to meet you.

[rowancrowned]

I would be honored. Would your clan accept my presence?

[ is he the right kind of elf, plainly. ]

[eolasemah]

They will if I make them.

[I'm the baby, gotta love me!]
