[When this new voice speaks, there is a slight reverb to it, not sounding quite right.]

A curious thing, these crystals. But most certainly a revolutionary tool. I commend whomever created it.

In any case, I felt it necessary to introduce myself. My name is Thane, and I have been assigned to the Scouting division. I wish to make myself available, should you need me.

In addition, I understand there are some studying the red lyrium. If I may, I wish to speak to those on that project. In person, preferably. The topic is delicate in nature.

Thank you for your time. Maker be with you.

[Garahel doesn't quite know what to do with someone who smells like a Red Templar but isn't attacking him. After a moment's hesitation, he presses his head against that hand instead of licking it as usual. Inessa nods solemnly, unable to deny the truth of Thane's situation. What good would false hope serve him?]

I am so sorry, Thane. I have no miracle to offer, but I appreciate the opportunity you give us to learn more about the substance and how it affects others. Whatever we can do to make your time here worthwhile, it will be done.

[Despite having the hands of a killer, Thane's fingers gently scratch under Garahel's chin as if he were a delicate kitten.]

There is no reason to apologize, Warden. I have considered my position, and I know that my time spent with the Inquisition will be useful. All that I ask is that you utilize me to the full extent.

Feel no sorrow. The Maker has brought me here to ensure my use in many ways to the Inquisition.

[Garahel's eyes remain sad and sympathetic, but there's a soft pleased rumble at the scratching.]

I'm glad you can take comfort in faith. Christine is a very competent and dedicated project leader, and I feel comfortable following her lead though I'll do my best to suggest paths we could take. As it is, I hope comparing our current samples to what you can provide will give us insight.

[It's impossible to not smile a little at the mabari calming. A good soul; he can easily see why Fereldens are so fond of these beasts.]

I am grateful to you both.

In the meanwhile, I will keep in account how I am proceeding. I cannot ignore whatever duties I must serve while I am here for the Inquisition.

[Inessa nods, trying to push aside her own feelings and maintain a professional demeanor. No one wants pity.]

I quite understand. Have you found suitable accommodations?

[outil]

I have. I will not be found, unless I am needed. So fortunately, the sending crystal will be quite helpful in that way.

I am at your disposal if needed, Warden. I thank you.
