Only the famously ill-tempered. I'm certain that I needn't suggest you avoid courtly advice from the disinherited —

[ so they may leave it at that, unless she wishes to discuss. ]

But I hoped to apologize for my prior distraction. Did you accompany us to Ghislain?

[mereandrastianism]

[ She's gonna pass on that, thank you very kindly, Isaac, in favour of a subject that promises only a bit less turmoil. ]

I did. [ How in the world to describe it? Hm. ] It was...quite interesting, I must say. My first sight of Orlais. How did you find yourself there?

[wythersake]

Oh, to be a healer one place is much as another.

[ which has nothing to do with how he found matters. niceties. ]

But Ghislain has never done us a deal of credit. Too many skirmishes to sprout culture, even before the Imperium marched in. I thought you might do with a better view — are you acquainted with Mssr. Bastien?

A healer--my goodness.

[ The things you must have seen. She hadn't known he was a mage. But anyway-- ]

I believe we might have spoken once. Is he a friend of yours?

[wythersake]

[ is that what we're calling musician spies now. sure. ]

And whether our return to Kirkwall should afford the detour, I imagine he would pleased to make recommendations of the city. I have too seldom been to offer them myself — but we've come so far south, it seems a waste to send you home with only a war to show.

He sounds delightful.

[ Pleasant, poetic, and potentially willing to suggest locations worth visiting within Val Royeaux? While she has her own mental list, no doubt an actual Royan would have ideas her studies would never have lead her to. ]

I shall be sure to find time to speak to him. Thank you for the suggestion, Isaac, and for your kindness.

[wythersake]

Oh, don't say that too loudly, I've a reputation to maintain.

[mereandrastianism]

[ There's an attempt at a laugh, a quavery response to his joke. ]

Your secret is safe with me.
