Action: On the Red Fish
When: Now!

[ When the feed comes on, the woman featured mostly looks... Awkward, and unsure of herself. It takes her a moment to realise her pressing buttons worked, and then she brightens, leaning forward so that her face is in the camera a little more. She's trying, but modern technology is still a bit of a leap for her, despite knowing how to use it thanks to her augment. It's foreign, but she's doing her best. ]

Andaran atish’an. My name is Leilani of Clan Lavellan - I was told there were other elves here, from Thedas. I was hoping to meet them, if I could? It's not necessary, of course, but...

[ But she does rather want to be with her people right now, or some of them, if she can. She doesn't feel particularly comfortable and she thinks she has reason enough to feel on edge, all things considered.

Hopefully, no one will notice her lack of vallaslin. She's not in the mood. She seems to steel herself, at least, and something settles as she sits up. ]

I'd be glad to speak to anyone else, as well, especially if I can be given more information about this place. I would appreciate it. Ma serannas.

[ Dorian is the BEST, okay, and Lavellan would gladly rise to the challenge of defending him forever. ]

That is refreshing.

[ She's used to being commandeered because she's the Inquisitor, in spite of her race - which was often unacknowledged. Many of the people that came to offer their hand in marriage were quite clear about their opinions on elves, and it made her distinctly uncomfortable. ]

That is how I would like the world of Thedas to be. What matters is the heart, not the face you wear.

[wolfehawke]

True enough, just wish everyone else thought that way.

[He smiles gently. She seems pleasant, if a bit naive. Maybe that's a Dalish thing? Who knows.]

[veilstrike]

A simple idea, but probably impossible in practice.

[ She's not quite as foolish as she had been once, and her trusting nature had been worn done somewhat over time. ]

Are you content here, at least?

[wolfehawke]

I am. Or I was, anyway. I apparently only recently woke up from a several month coma so... be wary of that too.

[Isn't the Fleet full of fun and joy?]

[veilstrike]

A coma? [ What the - ] How does that happen?

[wolfehawke]

Atroma. That's really the only explanation I have for it. Usually people don't sleep as long as we did. [We? Whoops.] A month or so isn't uncommon though, apparently, and sometimes people age or wake up with memories of having been back home. It's some sort of strange magitechnology they have.

[veilstrike]

[ We? Filing that away for later. ]

I see. [ She doesn't really understand, but it does make sense, and she frowns. ] So they bring us here and then sometimes they make us sleep, despite us being here for entertainment?

[wolfehawke]

Doesn't make sense to me either.

[He leans back with a laugh, because really that's all you can do is laugh. It's not as if they have any real control here.]

It does sort of stir up drama on its own, though. People sleep through important things and feel guilty afterward or they wake up remembering years of their life they hadn't experience before they slept. So maybe it's that.
