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.

This is, perhaps, the largest shift one might need to acclimate oneself to in a lifetime. To be unsteady for longer than usually would not be unreasonable.

I am, in truth, surprised to admit that none upon arrival here and explanation of the situation has gone mad.

Perhaps.

( It sounds like she thinks she should agree, which is different from sounding as if she does. Or as if she thinks it's the largest she's dealt with.

It should be, by rights. It just has so much else to compete with, and she has little left to give to find it shocking. )

Well, it's for the best they haven't. It would not be, I think, in their best interests.

[rowancrowned]

No, I think not.

[ thedas, he thinks, could have been even less sympathetic to him. he will summon up some gratefulness. ]

Do feel free to ask questions, as they come to you. Perhaps with time, you will learn how to pass.

[ipseite]

If it is needful, of course.

( she isn't sure how she feels about the sound of that. or rather, she is, and she doesn't like it. )
