trying out a cousland

[ladyspitfire]

Oh, yes, you think the name is so very funny. If you're finished, perhaps we should talk about what you plan to do with me.

I wouldn't say no to a small vacation from Vigil's Keep, no matter how drab it might be. I think I've killed enough Darkspawn to earn that much, don't you? Or maybe you can try to find some people I actually recognize, instead of throwing me at strangers with oddly colored hair. I'd quite appreciate it.

Never better. [Oh Anders you're such a great liar not] But enough about me! Why can't you get free of the Keep? You're the bloody hero of Ferelden and arlessa of Amaranthine. I dare say you could dance the remigold on every bar in Thedas if you liked.

[ladyspitfire]

[Ohhh, she knows that look, sir. You'll get a few minutes to think everything is right with the world before she opens you up like a Darkspawn.]

If that were true, I'd be able to go back to Highever instead of staying here. Besides, no one has that much influence besides the King, you know.

[birdhousesoul]

I had the impression the King was rather a good friend of yours.

[doesn't matter whether you actually romanced Alistair, Anders is still going to break out the innuendo. Winks and nudges incoming]

[ladyspitfire]

[Snerk.]

Oh, we are. But I can't go running to him every time I want something. Duty comes first.

[birdhousesoul]

[soberly:] Some duties take precedence over others.

[ladyspitfire]

Oh?

[She's got you now.]

Something's happened, hasn't it?

[birdhousesoul]

[He scuffs his boot against the ground, rather like a child who's been caught at something he'd sooner have hidden.] Er, what year is it?

[ladyspitfire]

[She folds her arms across her chest loosely, watching him.]

Almost three years since the Blight. Why?

[birdhousesoul]

So I've been gone a while from the Wardens. You're not angry?

[ladyspitfire]

I'm not surprised, especially after you made it clear that you'd rather be elsewhere.

[Elissa tries not to seem too annoyed, shrugging her shoulders.]

I went elsewhere as well. I've been...taking care of some things.

[Like apostate friends and golems.]
