Video; always something that needs doing

[apurrstate]

Who: Anders and Open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Bishop, if desired
When: Thirty seconds after being shuffled onto the ship

[The feed turns on and it's clear Anders has barely just arrived on his new ship as there's still some confetti in his hair he has yet to brush off or pick out. He's clearly on the move, however, as the hallways of the Bishop move behind him on his way to the Med Lab.]

Right, I need to take some inventory: there was a greenhouse on the Iskaulit that held some medicinal herbs, if anyone knows, has it been maintained? [Maker knew if Hermione were still around, he'd really had yet to even check who was still around.] And, similarly, there was a smaller herb garden in the cargo bay of the Twin Roses, is that still there?

[He pauses as something occurs to him and he gives a wry smirk.] And, in my haste, I shouldn't be so rude, my apologies. I am Anders, a healer from Thedas. I imagine my store of potions from before is long gone, I intend to get started on more. If anyone has need of any potion in particular, please feel free to speak up, I'm more than willing to make whatever it might be.

[Assuming he knew how to make it or something like it, but his skill with herbalism wasn't something he took lightly.]

Comments

A pleasure, Maglor. To be honest, I'm not certain what plants are in the gardens, I always felt they were a little off-limits as ingredients, seeing as I didn't plant them myself.

[He pauses, something occurring to him.] I believe you knew my partner when we were here last, Adalwolfe Hawke? He spoke fondly of you to me.

Milady Beverly always said it was shared space! I think that so long as you do not take too much, and you make some effort into the continual upkeep or gathering of more, it is certainly not a trouble.

[ He lights up at that ]

I did! Yes! Is he well? It has been a while since he was taken from here. I hope the two of you are alright?

[apurrstate]

That is good to know, I'll keep it in mind.

[Anders smiles, he would never stop being impressed with his love's charisma and ability to adopt new friends everywhere.]

We are, just a bit overwhelmed with how much time we missed compared to what we last remember. We've just been assigned to our new ships, so I imagine he's dealing with wherever he's been put now. I'm sure he'd appreciate a hello if you find yourself with the time.

[bythewaves]

I will keep an eye out for him then. [ Maglor hums, pleased ]

It will be good to speak to him again. I don't think I ever had the chance to speak to you, the last time you were here!

[apurrstate]

I don't believe we did. I apologize, it wasn't for any particular reason, I simply...prefer to keep busy and to myself. This is often a terrible combination for meeting new people.

[bythewaves]

No, I understand! I had a brother who was similar - one of my cousins, too. But I am glad to meet you at last.

[apurrstate]

The feeling's mutual. Perhaps, once all is settled once again, we could talk over a drink? At least we could know each other on our own instead of through Hawke.

[bythewaves]

I would like that! I frequent several of the establishments on the Iskaulit - have you a preference?

[apurrstate]

Personally, I went to Malum, the Greenhouse and the Interfaith Center the most. [Oh...that was a thought, he'd have to check if the Interfaith center was still operative with it's caretakers seemingly vanished.]

But if you would prefer the Space Bar, I'm not a stranger to it.

[bythewaves]

I would be quite happy to meet you at Malum or the Greenhouse? I am often in the garden, we are growing a little memory tree, and it seems to enjoy being sung to.

[apurrstate]

A memory tree? What is that?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor chuckles ]

Nothing fancy - it was Doctor Beverley's idea, when she was here. We found, several stops back, a tree that grows in the dark, and glows. Many cultures and races have the tradition of light for memory of the lost - we thought it fitting. We have it in a dark room just off from the garden, now. Tis only a sapling! But the room is a peaceful place to sit and remember - and perhaps to mourn - those gone from us.

[apurrstate]

Oh...that does sound lovely. I doubt there'll be much singing coming from me, but I'll have to go see it sometime. Perhaps we could meet there, then.

[bythewaves]

Of course! I am there daily, especially if Lady Makie is not around. Just let me know when suits.

[apurrstate]

I will, thank you, Maglor.

[bythewaves]

Until then!
