Looking at thehometree, canon is Wildstar

[spacezombie]

I'm not quite certain what a 'fairy' is, but it sounds... well, rather cute.

Being a tiny thing living in a tree, growing little insect wings and solving puzzles would be quite the vacation. Much better than being around that blasted Caretaker.

His horrendous histrionics are hindering my horticultural hypotenuse!

What sort of manner of creature are you? Clearly, not a darkspawn, nor an Abomination. Yet, not entirely normal. Are you perhaps some new being from the Fade?

[spacezombie]

Darkspawn? Abomination? How dare you! I'm a respected scientist!

[witch_thief]

I meant no offense. I've never seen the likes of one such as you, I was merely curious.

What manner of being is a scientist?

[spacezombie]

What sort of uncivilized person asks such things in the first place!? A shameful seemliness for a sapient subsistence!

[Sigh.]

A scientist is the same as a scholar.

[witch_thief]

One that has obviously never encountered the likes of you. Nor do we have any of those scientists. Oh, there are scholars aplenty, always lost in dusty old tomes, reading on subjects that they condemn, not wishing others to practice those ways. Seems a rather droll, pitiful existence to me.

And to think, I'm the uncivilized one.

[spacezombie]

There are far more tactful ways to voice your curiosity. What if I was some manner of evil creature? Would you wish to earn my ire so needlessly, then?

You believe the search of knowledge is uncivilized? Do you even know the meaning of the word?

[witch_thief]

Tact? "Tis something done when one is afraid of hurting someone's feelings. I have no such qualms. I've no reason to hide my thoughts on a subject, nor am I afraid to speak my mind. And evil only exists according to one's perception. 'Tis a most curious thing, ever changing. the right thing done for the wrong motive can be perceived as evil, while a vile action done with proper intent can be good.

I'm afraid you completely misunderstood me. I'm of the opinion that yes, the old ways should indeed be learned, and I mean truly learned, not just read about. What's the purpose in that?

and yes, I am quite familiar with uncivilized, having walked all over Ferelden with Alistair.

[spacezombie]

A pity, then. I do hope none of my more sensitive brethren fall into your path, if you do not care for another person's feelings. My kin has had enough people accusing them of evil for the very way they exist.

...and I can assure you that scientist is far more hand-on than simply reading books. I would have to agree with you on that point.

[witch_thief]

A pity? I suffer from the same fate as your kin, being called an Apostate, simply because I refuse to trade my freedom for a gilded cage and have no qualms about speaking my mind about it, and I'm to be pitied? Give people a way, and they will walk all over you.

Well, I wouldn't know about that. 'Twould appear that our scholars are not these scientists of yours.

[spacezombie]

My pity has nothing to do with your fate but with your lack of empathy. Our entire world was destroyed and our people are slowly rotting from the disease that took it. It's quite a sensitive subject to remark upon.

...and no, we're quite similar, despite the experiments and samples a scientist handles.

[witch_thief]

I will not apologize for the way I am. Would it do you any good if I got all mopey and cried? Would you feel better if I offered you a hankie? Perhaps, but what you don't realize is that my lack of empathy and tact,, as you so put it, forces you to not only face your situation, but stand up for yourself and defend what you believe in.

If I offend people and make them stronger in the end for it, So be it. I shall certainly not apologize for my behavior.

So your scientists merely have more means of learning old lore and magics and say that we are not to practice them, then?

[spacezombie]

That is not the job nor right of a stranger. But I digress.

On the contrary. Our scientific methods are for the good of the people, be it weaponry, magics or nanites.

[witch_thief]

So your friends do as I am? Perhaps I would be better of conversing with them, then. They at least, seem to be reasonable. [Snarky Morrigan is snarky]

Interesting. Whatever our scholars learn, they keep to themselves.

[spacezombie]

[Rude, Morrigan!]

I would imagine they'd tell you that unsolicited comments from someone who is not a licensed therapist is not helpful to anyone.

...ah, but that seems awfully counter-productive. What point is there in knowledge if it is not used?

[witch_thief]

One needs a license to speak the truth where you are from? Seems a most dreadful place to be.

Precisely my point. Anyone who has such desires is branded an apostate, and hunted down and killed by the Templars.

[spacezombie]

How on earth can you speak the truth if you do not know the answers? None of my presumed identities were true, after all.

...that makes no sense. Wanting to learn is the finest thing in the galaxy!

[witch_thief]

The truth is merely that which I perceive. If I do not fully understand it, then I inquire further, as I have been doing. Do not blame me for your unreasonableness if my questions and thoughts on the matter offend you so.

My thoughts exactly.

[spacezombie]

That is not a truth, that is an opinion. You'll lead a lonely life if you believe my reaction to be unreasonable.

[witch_thief]

That would be your opinion on the matter.

While I have no qualms about being lonely, I've more than my share of companions, who know only understand my ways, appreciate the bluntness of my thoughts. Well, except perhaps for the bard. Never would stop looking at my tits.
