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.

Roul has been minding them but he would likely be grateful for the assistance. I know the Circles are a thing of the past but I would very much like to give him some sign of being more than a mere mage- some sort of authority beyond what he holds with my students. He has more than earned it, a great many of them have. We've only been organized for a few months but already they are learning so much-

And we've no system to reward them for it beyond the new skills they learn.

[Vivienne has some private plans for the reinstatement of the Circles once the current crisis has reached resolution, but now is hardly the time to bring those up. Besides, Adelaide has an excellent point.]

Indeed. And it seems such poor gratitude to them. I wonder if we shouldn't address that at the next Council.

And don't worry about your students, darling. I'll check in with Roul and make sure he gets a much needed break.

I can add it to the docket among the...roughly five hundred other items of concern, request, or action that we need to discuss. For every solution we manage there seems to be six more problems that crops up afterward. It is exhausting.

[This burst of honesty from Adelaide is actually quite nice to see. One never tells the full truth in the Game. Viviene recognizes in some part that she ought to chide her for revealing too much, but there does come a point in one's life that they must vent their thoughts, even if it is to feed them to the flame immediately following.]

That docket seems to grow faster than a litter of prize nugs. We really must find a way to curtail it. We'll never have a moment's rest otherwise.

Delegation would be the best way- but at the moment that they come to us first? Is a sign that we are doing our work properly. They trust us. We need them to trust us, to listen to us. Once they are certain we will do as we claim it will ease up enough for us to focus elsewhere.
