"I... don't mind," she starts slowly, feeling her tongue run over the unfamiliar words. Feels weird to talk about it with someone who wasn't there, doesn't have first-hand experience of what it's like to be a mage in this world.

Still, Amélie tries.

"I hated it when I first went. It was just so different to everything I'd ever known. Everything felt so grand, extravagant, but given time, it begun to feel like home. I felt safer there than I'd ever felt anywhere, and the other mages, they became my family." Family that didn't reject her, didn't shun her when they realised what she really was. She's mortified to find that her eyes are tingling, that prickling sensation which so often proceeds the spilling of tears.

Blinking rapidly in the hopes of forestalling what feels inevitable, she continues, "So, yeah, I miss it. Still, the world is different now and I'm needed here. So." She shrugs. "Hopefully I will come to love Skyhold as well."
