[ if the voice sounds a little nervous, it's because its owner is really nervous. this sure is a lot different from addressing his court. ] We are Maia of House Drazhar, and to.. get the question out of the way immediately, we are one person. Our native language is simply very formal.
[ if any of you were wondering suspiciously about the 'we'. he gets a lot of funny looks here. ]We have a request, if it isn't impolite. At home, you see, our people are very different from the elves of this world, and so there's a great deal we still need to learn. We would be very interested in hearing more about both the Dalish and the.. forgive us, the term is 'city elves'? The.. way you live, your clans and communities and homes and beliefs. There
is a bit of literature, of course, but it seems primarily to be written by human observers.
[ which, you know, is only so accurate or trustworthy, considering the racial tensions in this world. ]We would be glad to hear anything that you wish to share, and we would also be happy to meet with you in person if you would prefer that instead. We have no desire to be insensitive or prying.
[ a beat, then a little shyly: ] Thank you for your time.
