[Is the Pathstone more capable with a captain missing and another one replace with someone who does their job? How many people can fit into a captain's nest? Why is there a captain's nest? Has Solas painted the entire interior of the ship yet? Has Cole talked to each and every plant? Has Duke discovered that his ship has been previously worthless since basically the beginning of time? Will Crowley ever try to get his captain status back?

Tune in now for the answers to these questions and more in this episode of As The Pathstone Turns!]

Yes. [ An energetic nod of agreement. ] I didn't think I would make so many new friends! I've been learning a lot of new things too.

[ She likes learning and making friends, even though breaking the shyness barrier is still a work in progress for her. Because of Milla's mission and her choice to accompany her, there wasn't much of a chance for her to settle down. Being treated like an outsider in one of her previous villages didn't do her any good either. ]

Would you like to share with me? [ Solas watches, curious.

Most of this comes from a desire to learn more about the ships, the people on them, the passengers and everything that he hasn't yet had a chance to see. Solas has, after all, always appreciated people that ask questions and show an interest. ]

[princessia]

[ She's suddenly feeling a lot more shy and embarrassed again. Sheepishly, she tucks her arms behind her back and gives the floor a small scuff of her heel. ]

Uh... Cole tells me a lot about his- your world. I don't want to bore you.

[ Most likely a bunch of things he already knows about. Cullen and Jove tell her plenty of stories too. But, Cole most of all. She learns more about the worlds of those on the fleet than about the ships and space. ]

[dirth]

You won't bore me. I have always enjoyed people sharing their thoughts and experiences with me.

[ And, sometimes, he is quite rash and hard with them in return, dismissing their thoughts or, at other times, directing them when they are nothing short of wrong. He thinks, however, that he might be kinder with her - she is, after all, nothing more than a child and is hardly aware of the troubles in Thedas. ]

[princessia]

[ She starts to smile again, dropping her arms back to her side and swaying them slightly, excited to share what she learned. She has to pause a moment, putting in some thought on what she wants to talk about. There's plenty to bring up. Where should she start? ]

...I learned about spirits! They're different from the ones in my world.

[ Who are more like spirits of elements. Time for her to break out her amazing skill of parroting exactly what others tell her. She won't know the proper definition of some of the words, if asked. ]

Spirits are of emotions and virtues. Demons are spirits too, the same thing. But that's just what the ignorant call hostile spirits.

[ She speaks slowly, sounding rehearsed and almost exactly word for word. ]

[dirth]

[ She is lovely and rather sweet, he thinks - he hasn't spent much time around children, around anyone younger than Cole, who is more spirit than boy, and so this is all rather novel for him. All he can do is offer her a soft smile. ]

I have learned that spirits in Thedas are different from many in other worlds.

[ But look how he practically beams. Her understanding of spirits and demons is more simplistic than he might be able to offer, but the fact that she knows of the ignorance... ]

Quite right. Spirits embody emotions and demons are not dissimilar from that. Negative emotion is often more obvious than their kinder cousins.

[princessia]

They're more like elemental spirits where I'm from.

[ Admittedly, she's still learning about the spirits of her world, but that much she knows at least.

Her smile brightens up even more, pleased to know that she correctly repeated what she learned from Cole. But that's about all she knows when it comes to hostile spirits or demons. What she says next is more of an inference, nothing she heard from anyone.

If there's Compassion, Wisdom, and other virtues, then the negative emotions would be... ]

Then hostile spirits would be something like... spirits of sadness? Or anger?

[ Elize is careful not to use the word demon. She doesn't want to be one of those ignorant people! ]
