Tel'enfenim, da'len Irassal ma ghilas Ma garas mir renan Ara ma'athlan vhenas Ara ma'athlan vhenas	Never fear, little one, Wherever you shall go. Follow my voice-- I will call you home. I will call you home.

Clan Ashara currently resides in a small valley nestled into the mountains, that seems idyllic for a Dalish clan. A stream runs through the valley, descending into a waterfall with the steep cliffs on one side, and sheer mountain walls going straight up on two other sides. The only way in and out is through a gap big enough to lead several aravels through. It's a defensible position, safe from any threats. Except the fade rift that has opened up just a little ways from the gap. The hunters can handle the demons spewing from it well enough, and there are always a couple stationed there to pick off whatever appears. But it's too dangerous to lead the aravels and noncombatants through, and thus, they are forced to wait. To compound the issue, there's a village close to where they're currently staying, and while both sides have kept to themselves, neither are pleased with the current situation. They've helped get a message to the Inquisition in hopes that someone will come take care of the problem, and now both are tensely waiting for something to happen to change the situation, for better or worse. And so the members of Clan Ashara, with their friends in tow, return back to their clan.

"It would be my great privilege to listen to them," she says, a new eagerness in her eyes. "I am sure he has more than I could hear in the time allotted to us among the clan."

There's a pause, heavy with caution.

"If you would like, I would be happy to share what I can of city culture. And it is my wish to continue to learn more of the Dalish side of my heritage. I... It was suggested... well, Pel thought that perhaps spending an extended time among the Clan would be of benefit to me. A... trial period, of sorts, to see if it would suit me on a permanent basis. Perhaps not right away, as I have duties I must attend to with the Inquisition, and I know I am no replacement for those who have chosen to seek new paths outside of the Dalish, and that it can be a delicate task balancing the numbers of those who are... gifted, as I am, but if you would consider it for the future, perhaps... I would be grateful for the opportunity."

Deheune listens to Kallian's proposition silently, expression politely interested. She tilts her head as the other elf finishes, and glances to the side, letting silence settle as she mulls over the idea. It's hard to tell what she's thinking exactly, but after some time, she straightens, and begins to speak, smoothing out her robes as she does so.

"I would be happy to listen, but I am afraid that there is only so much time I can dedicate to my own curiosity, and I imagine that I would have to stop you for questions more than once. I would suggest bringing the tales to Anan when you go to listen to him. I think he would enjoy getting to exchange stories. And more importantly, he would be better suited to spreading those stories to the others in the clan, so that all can learn of what knowledge you would share. As for an extended stay--"

She gives one final tug to her robe, and clasps her hands behind her back, turning to Kalli. "--It is true that we have taken city elves who sought to return to their roots. And having another mage..." She is clearly contemplating that, having only recently gone down from three other mages to just her son. "I can not give you a definitive answer right now. Not when no one knows how long this war will last, and where the world will stand afterwards. However, I will say this much--I am not opposed to the idea. After everything is said and done, and you can dedicate yourself fully to the clan, return to us, and you and I can discuss possibilities."
