Who: Jove Lavellan
Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: the marsiva
When: right now!!


Well.

[It's half breathless, half amused, and said with something of a strained grin. Why does weird shit keep happening to her. At least this time when she's waking up there's no chains around her wrists or incredibly intimidating women shouting questions at her. Her hand aches dimly, but it's nowhere near as bad as she's used to. She must be very far from home if she can't feel any rifts nearby.]

Could someone tell me what year it is? One moment you're jumping through a magical mirror and now here I am in... whatever this is.

I'm fairly certain it's not the Fade and I don't feel particularly dead.

[And then, more quietly,]

Cassandra is going to kill me.

It isn't the Fade! You aren't dead!

[ MERRILL CALM DOWN IT'S JUST A DALISH ELF.

NOT LIKE THAT IS A BIG DEAL OR ANYTHING.

WAIT. ]

[That enthusiasm is pretty endearing, though. And the greeting in her own tongue and the marks on this girl's face make the homesickness she's felt for months ache even more sharply. A few letters here and there from clan Lavellan was nowhere near enough.]

Andaran atish’an, sister. I'm glad to see another of the People here.

[ She mustn't smile too obviously, or she might scare away this fantasy! Trying to restrain it almost makes it a grimace, though. Hearing her own tongue, how long has it actually been? ]

Likewise! It has been so long that I honestly can't recall the last time I've heard my own tongue. My name is Merrill! I see you know Dorian. Not that I'm eavesdropping!

[The first thought she has is that Solas would love Merrill, with her excitement to hear her own language likely coming paired with the same kind of eagerness Jove herself had had to learn more about their past, about the things they had forgotten, but it can always be hard to tell with him. Still, she hopes. Their kind should stick together.]

I do know Dorian, and I know he would only love having an audience, so don't let that worry you. [Seriously calm down little elf, breathe.] And I'm Jove, by the way. Of clan Lavellan. It's very nice to meet you, Merrill.

Jove. It's lovely.

[ She is breathing, though there's also a chuckle at mentioning Dorian's love of an audience. Oh it's also nice to hear of clans, but at the same time awkward. Would her clan currently say she was one of theirs? No matter, it's one of the few things she carries with her on her journeys away from Thedas. ]

I hail from the Sabrae clan, though I've stayed in a human city named Kirkwall for quite awhile. Have you ever been there? I wouldn't suggest going without a guide, it's so very easy to get lost!

I haven't been, but I've heard a great deal about it. [UNDERSTATEMENT.] What made you leave your clan for a city, if I might ask? It isn't something many of us are known for doing lightly.
