[ Stephanie has opted for video, possibly in hopes that her puppy eyes will be available for use if necessary. Shhhh. ]

Anders! I have a question for you, it's quite important. Do you have a moment?

Comments

[unconfines]

For you? All the moments in the world. [His smile is bright enough, anyway. She might have caught him in a good mood.] How can I help?

[howcanihelp]

[ Aw, good! Good mood is a good thing. ]

We, ah. We've had a bunk opening on our ship. The Bishop.

[unconfines]

A bunk?

[Repeated, a bit dumbly, like that will clear things up at all.]

That I could switch into? Is that allowed?

[howcanihelp]

[ Stephanie nods shortly ]

It's not guaranteed, apparently, but you can request a transfer to another ship, as long as there's room...

I was thinking maybe-- I mean, if you wanted to, you don't have to if you'd rather not, but it would be nice to have you nearby.

[unconfines]

This is your "important question"? [There's a teasing edge to his voice, but his smile is broad and warm.] That eager to see my face on a regular basis, are you? Don't worry, I understand completely.

[howcanihelp]

Quite the opposite, but I suppose your face will have to accompany the rest of you. [ Don't even start, Anders, she will tease you right back.

She gets a little more serious and glances off-camera slightly. ]

Also, I must admit I'm... I've not been sleeping well. I think it would help to have someone nearby who's... familiar.

[unconfines]

Nightmares? [His voice dips slightly in volume, as if that will help at all for privacy.] Standard Warden fare, or—?

[Something else. She's the Hero of Ferelden. He won't pretend that she hasn't seen things worse than he can probably imagine.]

[howcanihelp]

[ Well, it'll help for privacy among their two ships, anyway. And Steffa appreciates the conceit.

She smiles tightly. ]

A little of this, a little of that.

A lot from the Tower.

[ Nothing to cause nightmares like going to the place you grew up and seeing people you grew up around dead or worse! ]

[unconfines]

Ah.

[That's all he needs to hear, really. He wasn't around for Uldred's uprising, maybe the only legitimately lucky thing that's ever happened to him in his entire life, but he's heard the stories. He knows that she was there in the aftermath, that she's the reason Ferelden's Circle wasn't just completely annulled.

Having to see it, he wouldn't wish that on anyone.]

Well. Perhaps I should stop by for a visit more often, then? At least until we hear back about a potential transfer. If there's one thing I know how to do right, it's how to be distracting.
