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. ]

I'm pretty sure one of his palms is larger than my face.

[Good thing he's on their side! He'd hate to think of Leilani or Cyril going through anything like he did with the Arishok. That fight was terrifying.]

But I seem to have gotten us off the original topic. Honestly I think anything is fine for holidays as long as you spend them with friends, old or new.

You wound me, messere.

[He clutches his chest dramatically, playing along.]

But yes, true friends are far more a reason to celebrate. Glad you agree.
