(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.

private;

[ she deliberates some time before speaking. more than two years have made amsel an unknown; to call the conversation's potential precarious is to understate. better, she decides at last, that this not come as a surprise: some chance meeting around a corner like darton and his fucking cowardice —

better to think it through. to give them both room to approach this as they might.

(to clear some of the gravel from her throat,) ]

Knight-Enchanter. [ the words come evenly, when they finally do. ] This is Coupe.

[ can’t bring herself to append the title just now. ]

I had not known you with the Inquisition.

[ Unspoken, unsaid: I had not known you lived. Had known enough of Vipond to rather assume not. ]

[circleprodigy]

Welcome back, Knight-Enchanter. I hope your efforts elsewhere met with success.

[There's a warmth in her voice, and a happy bark in the background.]

I admit Kirkwall does take some...adjustment, but our situations has much improved since first arrival.

[thecookery]

Should that be us all? Or are you not planning to stick round long this time?

Why would this be private?

[youwonscience]

I'd say we should go on a field trip to Starkhaven, but given my history with field missions, maybe we shouldn't tempt fate.

Also, do you have a favorite baked good? No particular reason.

[elegiaque]

You again, Amsel.

( She is not displeased. )

[foxsays]

Welcome back, señora Amsel, if you wish to catch up on what you've missed, I have an office in the Gallows or rooms of my own down by the docks.

I even have my very own kitchen.

[Say hello to the person attempting to build you guys a navy ayyy]

[mythalenaste]

It's good to have you back. [There's a smile in Pel's voice.]

[sulena]

It is quite a shame we did make headquarters in Starkhaven instead, but I suppose the city does not have a fortress to spare like Kirkwall does.

( a sigh, but then: she laughs happily. )

Herian, caraid dhomh. It is always good to hear your voice.

[universal_charm]

What is a 'Knight Enchanter'?

_{[ Been here a year and still so much to learn. You are a very dense, tangled skein aren't you, Thedas? ]}
