[ open?? closed? schrödinger's log?? ] heroes always get remembered

[goodforsaken]

WHO: Lex Luthor, assorted guest stars, and YOU??
WHAT: General intro purposes? Get you some arms and armor made, Inquisition! Geek out in the library! Be confused by the incongruous noble all up in the Undercroft!
WHEN: Approximately now - the end of August.
WHERE: Skyhold: the Undercroft + Library + the buffet option
NOTES: Starters in comments. As it stands no warnings are required; I'll edit here a/o subject lines if that changes. Here is Lex's info post for anyone who'd like to run with the idea that they've heard of him/had contact before!

Being possessed of the incredibly informed opinion most not!Orlesians have of Orlais when they've only ever visited and spoken mostly to people wearing silly hats, Lex is more than comfortable with his first forays into the Inquisition taking place in Skyhold and not Halamshiral. That's where he's ultimately most useful anyway; he suffers no illusions regarding any diplomatic capabilities that don't involve ensnaring largeish globs of money.

The day side ....globbage occurs, however, is not this day or, nor is it whatever other days this log ends up involving. No, instead here we are in Skyhold, where Lex's general occupancy encompasses the following:

the meeting that was probably never meant to be (healing tents... I guess?? :U)

[amygdalae]

There are always new people coming into Skyhold. It's a fact since the Inquisition set up its base here, and its something Bruce has become fairly used to by now. For the most part he doesn't really concern himself with whoever's coming, unless its something who is sick and/or needs help with injuries and the like. In the past maybe he would have been more forward, but these days its easier to just keep to himself. Not being able to hide the fact that he's a mage now makes everything more complicated than he really needed things to be.

At least right now it doesn't seem like he's going to have any trouble; the morning had passed by peacefully enough, and with his afternoon shift done Bruce uses his break to work on making more poultice nearby where most of the tents had been put up. A dracolisk stands nearby, idly munching on some hay that had been brought over, mostly for the purposes to keep it occupied and ensure that it doesn't go wandering off and accidentally eat a chicken or something.

>_> you saw nothing

[goodforsaken]

They don't really have dracolisk...i...es in the Free Marches, plural or otherwise, so Lex is obliged to do a mighty dance of 'that completely didn't startle me' when he encounters Bruce's hay-munching friend. Either he covers it well or he's just ...always like, notably kind of tense, one of those.

"For the discerning rider who doesn't find a horse terrifying or ostentatious enough," he remarks like. To the animal. Little knowing he is perhaps quoting the war table mission.

it is forever saved in my inbox :>

Bruce glances up at the unfamiliar voice, smiling wryly at the comment because its kind of hard not to, really.

"It's a bit of a handful," he admits easily. Nevermind the fact that it wasn't his and he's only keeping an eye out for it because it apparently decided to stick around him for some reason he still can't fathom. "I'd honestly prefer if it had been a normal horse, but..." He trails off with a helpless shrug. What can you do about it, etc. It's sticking to him like glue so Bruce just has to make the best of it.

the fact that it's an extremely smol tony is p funny tho

[goodforsaken]

Because Lex is charming and adorable and not a huge weirdo at all, thank you very much. This Bruce surely will recognize this and any others will never ever know what they missed out on.

His eyebrows hike toward his hairline, hands going to his hips. "It just wanders the grounds? Stone's breath," he said, freely combining Andrastean and dwarf swearing, because he's totally not a huge weirdo, "if I wake up to its head in my window at least I know who to blame."

it took me a moment to realize but then i laughed

[amygdalae]

There's only a brief blink at the swear, but other than that he shows no real reaction to what is some rather interesting choice of words there. He certainly didn't look like he could be half-dwarf, let alone a full one, and Bruce knew what a half-dwarf could look like. ...from personal experience.

"I'll try and make sure that doesn't happen." As far as he knew it hadn't done anything like that... yet. Best to still be careful about it. There was no telling sometimes what it might get up to next. "Wouldn't want to give anybody a bad shock right after they wake up."
