Trust me, I envy everyone else that can grow one sometimes. Maybe I need to take someone else's beard.

Well, that's fair. Can't get predictable now, can we?

[arsebiscuit]

Hehe, I'll being you to Blackwall if he ever wanders his Warden butt back. See if you can't shave that off. Bet he's got another under it.

[And now that was an image that wasn't going away.]

it's all stupid sulking though, ain't it? Don't much we why we're stopping to chat with your old group. Both know what they'll say.

[wickedchase]

I heard he has three beards. I'm sure he won't mind if I take one of them.

[He pauses, then shrugs as he looks down at his hands.]

I do know.

Suppose it's hard to say why. I told myself I'd never see them again, and I could live with that. But apparently if they're begging for help, I can't ignore them. Not the smartest thing for me to do.

[arsebiscuit]

Nope.

[ That's all there is to that. It's a dumb idea. ]

Close up the rift, it'll sort itself. But you want to do the sorting. Why's that?

[wickedchase]

Because I'm an idiot, apparently.

[He shakes his head.] If given the chance to try to better them, I suppose I should... take it. And I think the villagers deserve a chance to not be terrorized, for once.

[arsebiscuit]

Can't fight for all the sides, can you? Have to have a team.

[ Hers were the poor in cities, for the most part. Maybe a little poor in the woods, when called on, but still. She knew what was what. Fighting for both sides in a battle, though? ]

What's it gonna be, then? If the humans and Dale's don't make nice.

[wickedchase]

A team certainly does make it easier.

[Twisted Fate shrugs, frowning.] I don't know, honestly. I'd be tempted to tell the clan to figure it out on their own.

Maybe the villagers wouldn't hate them so much if the clan didn't torment them for stepping foot in the woods.

[arsebiscuit]

No telling. But think whatever you say that ain't 'it's all the shem's fault' is gonna be heard?

[ Seriously. tell her she's wrong. ]

[wickedchase]

No. [He pauses, then looks a little helpless.] I don't know.

Clan Frandruil is very driven on protecting themselves from everything else in the world, and blaming humans for even breathing wrong in their direction.

If they can hear something else, I don't know how to give them that message. I'm hoping that's something Beleth can do; she's Dalish enough.

[arsebiscuit]

[ Sera gives a small snort, but fine. Good enough a plan for her. ]

Sure. 'Least we'll get a rift closed.

[wickedchase]

That much I do intend on getting done. Anything else is a bit up in the air.

Here's hoping our most elfy elves get the job done, hm?
