Shaking the dust off and looking at driftfleet

[babblingelf]

Am I really dusty? I don't think so. My house has a few rats in it but I'm careful about keeping things clean, you know. Oh-!! I'm sorry, I didn't do it right, did I. Are we supposed to say something like 'Dear Mundane' or something? I don't think you're mundane at all, though. You actually seemed quite friendly when we met!

[And she falls quiet for a moment while thinking.]

Do you really think this is a good idea? It's just that- well... what if they make me wear shoes? If I don't, what if I stub my toe on something? I'd gotten so used to Kirkwall now I'm not sure a new place will be good at all. I know where all the cracks are so that I won't step on them, after all. This- this new place sounds so strange. I don't think I like the sound of it.

[But hey as long as she can do her research in peace all is good. Though it'll be a bit hard to do without the Eluvian readily on hand.]

The last place you sent me... I wonder if the others are still there. I hope they're alright.

[ Oh, Merrill... ]

Just ask someone for a ball of twine. I'm sure you'll be fine.

[samantha_grey]

Ummm, aren't you risking stubbing your toe no matter where you are? Why don't you wear any shoes? For that matter, why don't any of the elves in your world ever wear shoes? I've been trying to figure this out every time I talk to Solas, and it makes no sense.

[wolfuncaged]

Ugh, wonderful, just when I thought I was rid of you.

[There's no real venom in his tone, though, it's downgraded to a minor annoyance. Like being pestered by an especially persistent fly. ]

...There are no cracks in space ships, Merrill. We would all die.

[forcemageure]

I think it's a good idea. Surely that should sway anybody!

[ Surely. What with Hawke's decisions generally being peerless examples of ....uh, something.]

[babblingelf]

What if it gets caught on something? I wouldn't want to lose it.

[She loves her ball of twine so much, okay. Varric is the best-!!]

[babblingelf]

[Oh, Hawke. Bless your heart, honestly.]

Are you sure? There won't be rats there, right?

[She would totally be on board for no rats, okay]

[babblingelf]

Hmph. I can't understand why you're always so cross. It's a reasonable question!

[For her anyway.]

Well what if you bump your head on a low beam?

[AS YOU CLEARLY HAVE SINCE YOU'RE ALWAYS SO CRANKY. That is clearly the only reason.]

[babblingelf]

It's so we can be closer to the earth. Nature is important in our culture and there's no better way to understand it than to be close to it, right?

[wolfuncaged]

I am cross because you ask inane questions.

[He heaves out a long suffering sigh. ]

Then you learn to duck.

[samantha_grey]

... oh, ok. That actually almost makes a certain amount of sense, but wouldn't that mean your heels were that much closer to the brambles when you go walking through the woods? Cuts on the soles of your feet do kind of suck you know.

[bold_in_deed]

At least your mundane is friendly. [Hers sucks. A lot.] I don't think anyone could force you to wear shoes. If they do, just take them off and toss them somewhere.
