[justice_is_blond]

WHO: Adelaide, Alistair, Anders, Bethany, Nathaniel, Varric, Vasran, Velanna
WHAT: The Second Ritual
WHEN: 10th of Bloomingtide (May 10th)
WHERE: half an hour outside of Skyhold
NOTES: Plotting post.

They've kept to the same clearing as the last, because the location's good. Far enough away that no one could stumble upon them by accident, near enough in case something went seriously wrong, it works.

He has scarcely more hope this time than he did the last, but at least there's no singing involved. This can't go as strangely. In theory.

Like I did. [She can't say it's impossible — for more than one reason, just now.

Still, she adds with a sigh as she turns her teacup around on its saucer:] But they're probably dead.

[Her gaze falls down to the pages in front of her, and something catches her eye.] There's something here that might be relevant. The language is too dense for me to fully understand, but look — this passage here — [She passes the book over, careful not to knock it against any of the stacks.]

That is quite likely. The war...did not make survival easy.

[ Too much strangeness, too much chaos. Adelaide turns her eyes to the notes before her, hoping to pick out what went wrong. A single variable could have twisted things around- but not in so specific a way. ]

Let me see? [ She peers down at the paragraph, mouthing the words to herself. ] Good eye. You remind me of a friend I had in the Spire when I was an apprentice.

[unharrowed]

I'm glad. I like impressing people.

[And maybe it's because she's keyed up from the dark turn this conversation took, but the blunt, on-the-nose-ness of that strikes her as shockingly funny. She lets out a sharp giggle, and picks up her tea.]

[fleurdesel]

Something else we have in common. [ a beat. ] Merde.

[ One can laugh or cry. With Vasran giggling, Adelaide finds that course far more appealing and attempts to smother her own low chuckle with a gulp of tea. ]
