(002.) hello fade rift my old friend

[dashing]

FORM: crystal
SENDER: Herian Amsel
RECIPIENT: all the Inquisiton
WHAT: sup
WHEN: whatever today might wind up being in fair Thedas.
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: Hello! So Herian's background has some dark themes,
and she has some pretty harsh attitudes about mages, the Dalish, and pretty much anything that takes her fancy. I've got an opt out post if there's anything you want me to avoid touching on.

I fear it had been overlong since last we spoke, Inquisition.

( Crisply spoken words, the touch of Starkhaven shaping each sound. )

For those not yet known to me: I am Herian Amsel, Knight Enchanter of the White Spire. For those better acquainted with me, I apologise for my abrupt absence. My orders bid me elsewhere.

( ... and that's all she has to say about that, smoothly moving on. )

I hope the seasons and the Free Marches have not treated you poorly. However, I am bound to lament our residence in any portion of them that is not Starkhaven.

( There is just the faintest touch of humour, maybe. Possibly. You probably imagined it. )

Maker willing, Kirkwall will treat you all with kindness.

You said I was needed for your research. As such, I gained power - mayhaps even influence. Unfamiliar with such a position and the sway that comes with it, I began on a slow but inevitable corrosion of mine own ethics, spurred on by those that would benefit from my power.

You see?

[Laughing:]

Wow, wow. Usually you have to graduate to at least running an experiment before you can go full mad scientist, I think there's definitely a rule about that somewhere.

[dashing]

( So seriously: )

I have always been very advanced.

[youwonscience]

OK, well, what can I do to redeem myself-slash-you from this terrible moral decline?

[dashing]

I'm not sure. ( A thoughtful kind of sigh; ) You could join me for a drink. Possibly dinner.

[youwonscience]

I think it's probably the least I can do, under the circumstances.

My schedule's pretty free in the evenings.

[dashing]

Tomorrow evening, eight o'clock. Would that suit?w

[youwonscience]

8 it is. It's a date.

[I mean. Is it? Probably.]

[dashing]

( Totally a date. More than likely. )

The same place we visited on my return? Or have you somewhere you better favour?

[youwonscience]

No, same place is fine. I mean, I haven't been in Kirkwall that long, I don't have a huge list of places to suggest.

See you tomorrow.

[dashing]

Until then.

( She's just gotta go fight a templar and be mess, but you know. )
