"I know more about seabirds than songbirds, perhaps Zevran would be better placed to judge these things when he has kestrels tucked under his wing as well. I was thinking more of a title rather than a name, perhaps we should get masks one day and finer clothes, go out some place and try them out to get used to them?

She's never said that aloud to anyone but Lux before, and Lux just puts a paw or his nose to her cheek, or rests his head closer to her lute if she's playing. Not the best barometer of the name she's chosen but the song is a favourite, one that fits her well and it has the right air of mystique for a girl with a shard in her hand.

"Planning for my trip to Rivain, not the easiest thing when I have to haggle via letter rather than down at the docks with the captains but-" An expansive shrug to say what can you do because this is life and she can't abandon her duties entirely until it's time to go since the trip had already been cleared with Leliana.
