Who: Leilani Lavellan and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Blue Fish
When: Now, after gifts have been opened!

[ The video opens with Leilani fiddling with something in her hands, but she's quick to turn her attention to the camera and focus on the people she's talking to. She's well practiced at the art of focussing her attention on people rather than things; the Inquisition had demanded it from her, and she barely had any time of her own. No time for worries or fears or sadness; only work and fighting for whatever future Thedas had left. ]

In my clan we did not celebrate the winter as the rest of the world did. I didn't recognise that there were different celebrations until I became the Inquisitor, and then it felt as though I was pretending to understand something that was completely alien to me.

[ Frowning, she drops the necklace from her hands. ]

I'd like to know more about your traditions, if you'll appease me. I've never had much time to sit and talk about these sorts of things, so anything that you might be able to tell me would be welcome. There is always time to learn something new.

[ It also distracts her, so it's a welcome relief. ]

Every year, my dad managed to get Christmas morning off work. So on Christmas Eve, my dad, my mom, and I would watch movies on the couch. We all opened one gift, which was always pajamas so we could wear them that night. We would roast marshmallows in the fireplace and we'd always get up super early.

Mom would make pancakes, even though she always burned them. We ate 'em anyway.

It was nice while it lasted.

[ Oh, well. Of course, probably not. ]

Movies are like moving pictures. Or plays with no interruption. They're usually a couple hours long, and marshmallows are really chewy and sweet and kind of squishy with powdered sugar on the outside. They taste good with chocolate.

[ It's super decadent, but hey, that's the south for you. ] Definitely. There's a lot you can do with them to help sweeten something up. I like them in hot chocolate sometimes.

One in the same, I think.

[ A curious tilt of his head. ] Bull?

Wow, sounds impressive. There's nobody like that where I'm from.

[ Okay, this guy sounds pretty badass. ] So a Qunari is kind of like a Minotaur, or is he more human-like?

Kind of? I mean, there are some similar qualities. Minotaurs are creatures of myth. They stand really tall, on cloven hooves, have the body of a man and the head of an ox-- with horns like that.

[ These are important questions when forming an image in his head. Either way, he sounds pretty damn cool. ]

[ And that's how Carl Grimes lost his mind. It takes him a moment to really understand what he's looking at before bursting into laughter. ]

That's Bull?

No chance now, sorry.

I can see why that would be kinda scary for the other guy.

He's a hard-hitter, then? I mean, if he's using a giant axe.

It's safer to hit from far back, anyway. Sometimes that doesn't work out so good, though.

[ Which is why Natasha has been teaching him hand-to-hand. ]
