002 // from ten in the morning, we are honest til nine

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian Pavus
Broadcast: Fleet-wide
Action: If needed, Adsum
When: TONIGHT!

[Dorian smiles a bit, secretively, and leans back in his chair, kicking his ankle onto his opposite knee.

He looks relaxed, and...his mustache is waxed. And he's wearing eyeliner with wings sharp enough to kill a man.]

I have a business proposition, for anyone interested. It's simple work, but I cannot offer payment in money. I can, however, offer use of my services.

[And...yep, gonna leave that there and smirk into the camera.]

Josephine Montilyet, a good woman, with a mind for diplomacy and politics. Antivan, but I try not to hold that against her. We all do have our faults, after all.

She makes the Magisters of Tevinter look like clumsy children, with how adept she is with it all. It's remarkable to see.

[Dorian smiles. Josephine was not a true friend, no, but that didn't mean he couldn't admire her political prowess.]

[wolfuncaged]

I have heard it is never wise to bet against an Antivan in anything. It is almost comforting to know that is true.

[The only Antivan he's met is Zevran, and that didn't exactly go well. ]

[serpentis]

You would be a fool to.

[His smile is a touch bittersweet, though.]

Odd, to think that I would miss them. We were barely in Skyhold for too long before I arrived here, but I suppose I had grown used to them. Even the spymaster's noisy crows, I miss.

[wolfuncaged]

Companions do have a way of getting under your skin.

[Varric especially. Varric could win medals for it.]

[serpentis]

Curious, that.

[Dorian was used to being surrounded by people, but alone. Even his father, though not a cruel man or neglectful, was often busy, or away on Magitserium matters. His mother barely spoke to him, and would rather have kept to her wing of the manor.

Dorian, growing up, had classmates, nannies, and Berille. In the Inquisition, he had more companionship than he'd known.]

I suppose it's hardly a surprise that others would be drawn to me. Have you given me a good look? I can barely blame them.

[That was better, easier than admitting that Fenris had hit a nerve.]

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris gives a small huff of amusement.]

They are likely in wonder of the moustache. They don't grow them like that down South.

[serpentis]

Truly, proper grooming is a lost art in the South, from what I've seen. They wear masks in Orlais for a reason, I'm certain of it.

[Ah, if only Vivienne was here. For all of their bickering and arguing, he was fond of her, in his own way.]

[wolfuncaged]

Ugh. Orleasians. I would not be surprised. They [lac ]k everything but money, I would not be surprised if looks were amongst the things they lacked.

[He might still be a little bit bitter about being called a 'manservant' in Chateau Haine]

[serpentis]

[He chuckles.]

I do wonder...if Sera ever arrives here, I'll have to introduce you two. I get the feeling that you two could play "your people are shit" for hours.

wow html what did you do

[wolfuncaged]

Oh? So you do have someone in your group with some sense?

html wasn't feelin it

[serpentis]

She is...a curious girl. Distrustful of mages in general, an elf, raised by humans. As such, she and I agree on the state of some things. In others, well, she is brash and coarse and doesn't appreciate things like proper grooming.

She and I got along splendidly.

so cruel, so unusual

[wolfuncaged]

[Fenris makes a thoughtful sound. He generally...doesn't get along with anyone, but... ]

She does sound like someone I would spend time with.

[serpentis]

I'm certain she'll make herself known, should she arrive.

[He smiles a bit.]

Do take care, Fenris. I'll see you about elsewhere.

[And that's a wrap for that one.]
