[Winds are blowing from Skyhold, when Norrington plucks up his crystal and frowns at it.]

... I am always interested in building more trust within the ranks of the Inquisition. [He stated slowly, but if Adelaide was behind it, he was less inclined to be wary.] What did the two of you have in mind?

[eviscerates]

( She can understand the caution, all things considered. Stranger, and maybe he knows about a rifter called Ruby, and maybe he knows about a rifter wolf called Ruby. Fun times. )

Friendly competition, actually. Councilor LeBlanc would make a few fortresses out of ice, then we're randomise teams to mix up who's working together, and then it would be a game of flag capture, if you have something like that here in Thedas. Snowballs, though, rather than magic or weapons for the sieging and all that, which I think the Councilor's students would provide.

[judgemewhole]

[He has heard of the Rifter named Ruby, to be sure, but not about the wolf. Not yet, anyways.]

Ah! [Now his voice brightens.] I think that would be a good idea - something to, ah, help bridge the gaps between us. Will everyone be included? What about the children?

[eviscerates]

Uhh... huh, I hadn't actually considered the kids. I think maybe just adults? Even with no weapons and the best intentions, if you get a bunch of grown ups into competition it can get a little rowdy.

( There's a smile in her voice. ) Maybe we could make sure there are benches for observers to laugh at us all getting splattered with snow, and the kids could have hot cocoa, or something.

[judgemewhole]

I think that would be a wise idea -- the children would enjoy such a spectacle, along with a treat like hot chocolate.

[eviscerates]

Great!

So when I write up a formal proposal to persuade the Mage Council that it's worth using some resources for you'd be open to me including your support for the idea?

( :D? )

[judgemewhole]

[You can't see him, Red, but he just smirked.]

Please feel free to mention my name as often as you like.

[chainlightning]

Oh! I've never met a thief wearing a bonnet before, but maybe that's because it worked so well.

[eviscerates]

Perfect. Thank you, Knight Commander. I much appreciate it. Shall I... keep you in the loop on any developments?

[judgemewhole]

Precisely. Or ... they were just a woman wearing a bonnet, but I digress.

[judgemewhole]

Oh, please do. And let me know if you need me or my people to promote anything.

[eviscerates]

I will do, definitely. I better go round up some more support. I'll talk to you soon!

[judgemewhole]

I look forward to it, Lady Ruby. A good day to you.

[chainlightning]

Well, either way. I'll remember.

[judgemewhole]

Good ... good. Keep me informed, so I can keep the advisors informed.

[chainlightning]

I'll do my best.

[ Her voice is somewhere between terrified and simply distraught, breath coming in gasping pants. She's on the move, doesn't have much time to talk, but she promised. ]

We had to leave. We have griffon hatchlings and Corypheus might be here and-

The First Warden put the king in the dungeons. [ human politics, pls fill in the proper terms, James ] The Wardens are fighting among each other about it, some of the mages are being overtaken by the demons. I don't- I don't know where the others are, it's just me and Mal and Anders and Nathaniel and the Roostmaster, and the thirteen hatchlings and Mal's dog and horse and Anders' cat-

[ A deep, sucking breath. ]

Tell Leliana, she has to know about the Anderfels. And- and I'll talk to you again when we're clear.

[ Should James respond, he won't get a reply for a while, until after the Inquisition reinforcements have driven back their pursuers and the teams have regrouped with each other. ]

[judgemewhole]

Maker's breath ...

[Is all he says as he gets the message, before he is slamming a message to Leliana, then Ingrid, then to Mal, and then back to Merrill.]

If you are dead, Merrill, I swear I am going to have the Maker and the Creator haunt your existence for all of days, woman!

[chainlightning]

[ And, later, sounding horribly exhausted but still very much Merrill- ]

I'm not dead. Do you really think the Maker would haunt me? Is he like a ghost?

[judgemewhole]

[A relieved sigh, before he sighs.]

No - but - nevermind. I was extremely worried about you, Merrill.

[chainlightning]

Honestly? So was I.

[ Worried about her, that is -- worried about everyone else, too. ]

It- it wasn't good. Isn't good, still.

[judgemewhole]

Can you talk to me, right now? Or are you still on a mad dash?

[chainlightning]

I can talk, I think. I might have to go if something comes up? Or if Ghostface tries to eat my crystal.

[judgemewhole]

Who or what is a Ghostface? [Wait.] Is it a griffon?

[chainlightning]

Yes, he is. He's very cute. [ Granted, Merrill thinks they're all cute. ]
