[mythalenaste]

WHO: Pel and YOU
WHAT: Open
WHEN: Late Kingsway
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Ten billion starters inside for Pel's close CR + coworkers.

Closed - Starters Below

Having returned from the mission in Antiva, it is time for her to have a talk with a number of people. People who either deserve to know, or who she wants to know. It will be difficult to hide very soon, and they don't deserve to be surprised.

Open - Around Skyhold

Pel spends most of her time in the library these days, but goes to bed earlier. Her time outside is spent sewing. A piece of linen tape is pinned to the garment she is working on, with the other end of the tape tied to a post by where she sits, so she can hold the garment well up and sew without hunching.

Comments

[mythalenaste]

"A friend is making me." A beat as she figures out whether the next thing is worth saying. "And I had to go there once, and to Halamshiral, a lot of places that require you looking at least a little nice."

[eternalsquire]

He's quiet for a few moments, finishing a few stitches, before frowning at her. "Do you like running around for the Inquisition? Or being a part of it? It seems like they accept anyone and anything."

Including qunari. If there's ever a people to be distrusted, it's them.

[mythalenaste]

"Even Dalish?" Pel sounds a touch stiff, but not cold. She no longer places so much judgment on city elves for being wary of Dalish.

[eternalsquire]

He shrugs. "Dalish, qunari, mages, elves. People that most organizations wouldn't take." While he isn't the biggest fan of the Dalish, he knows his people tend to rank equally with them in a lot of ways for human-run groups.

[mythalenaste]

"Mm. I can't argue with that one." She gives a faint shrug and goes back to her work. "I do like it. I like my work. And I can do it here, unlike anywhere else in the world besides a Circle tower."

[eternalsquire]

Circle tower.

"What work does a mage do for them? They have a lot of mages." All over the place, running around, most unwatched. It gets a little nervewracking. He's frowning now as he continues sewing.

[mythalenaste]

"Arcane research." If she has picked up on his discomfort, she does not show it.

[eternalsquire]

He doesn't even know what arcane research is. Kif looks at her out of the corner of his eye. Old things? Maybe she wants him to ask. Maybe he's supposed to know what it is. ...It can't hurt to ask. If she looks down on him, she's Dalish. They always look down on city elves eventually.

"What's arcane research?"
