LET NO SOUL HUNGER FOR JUSTICE: SONG FOR THE SOUL

[fleurdesel]

WHO: Anders, Bethany, Nathaniel, Leliana, Kallian, Sina, Beleth
WHAT: The First Ritual
WHEN: 1st of Bloomingtide (May 1st)
WHERE: half an hour outside Skyhold
NOTES: plotting thread.

The clearing is not all that far from Skyhold- only half an hour's ride. They don't anticipate anything going wrong in this particular ritual but familiarity with the location and a fear that something might go wrong in the future is more than enough to give it a solid once over before they begin. On it's own the ritual is absurd- but there'd been notes enough to make it seem, if not entirely credible, worth a shot. After all it will work or it will not.

Won't it?

All my time studying spirits and I have yet to find a polite way to tell them to relax.

[ Blue light flares in Adelaide's hand as she reaches out to press it against Anders' forehead, offering a wave of cooling magic. ]

Thank you.

[He exhales and shakes his head a moment after the headache's started to ease.]

I've not either. When he had a separate body it was far easier. I could always send him to bother Sigrun, or Velanna. Or send him to the library to study some answer to whatever obscure question he'd come up with then. And then Compassion... there is no relaxing with her either. Them.

[fleurdesel]

I should not laugh- but for Compassion and I it is quite the opposite. They struggle to remind me to relax.

[ Much as Compassion has their purpose, Adelaide has hers. ]

I do hope you are both prepared for this to do nothing. Promising as the ritual might be I sincerely doubt anything will come of it. But of those options, this is the least dangerous.

I've never been as dedicated as Justice would have liked. To my own freedom, certainly. To aiding those that I come across, yes. But I like sleep. And regular meals. I simply don't like them as much as I like simple ways to make him less annoyed. And... yes.

[His smile is a little tight.]

Justice is nearly certain it won't work. Myself, I've not a great deal of faith in it, but I'd prefer to start with the simple ones that seem to carry little risk. If it doesn't work, we've lost a few days. If it does, we've gained at the cost of mere hours and maybe a sore throat. I brought a syrup in case of the latter.

[fleurdesel]

If we get into a discussion about Justice and his disregard for the body you share we'll get nothing else done today.

[ She drops her hand away, peering in his eyes, through them. All seems relatively well. ]

We will keep trying until we find something that works. If none of these come to anything I will look again.

[justice_is_blond]

[Her too. It worries him sometimes, how much Justice is disliked. The spirit saved his life, Nate's, was a part of saving the world, and yes. He's argumentative and causing problems, but Justice is Justice, not human.]

Thank you. I hope that more looking is not required, however. The latter ones are... intimidating.

[Dangerous.]
