Gallows Courtyard

Velanna is not comfortable in the Gallows. It being a former Circle gives her pause enough without the general thinness of the Veil surrounding it. As a result, she spends as little time as possible in the fortress, and when she is there unless she has a specific purpose in mind, she's outside. Here at least she can connect with the earth, and the air doesn't feel so thick as it does inside. Most of it is in her mind, but all the same, she's happier where she can see the sun.

She is most often seen just sitting, a lanky flame-point cat that's somewhere between teenage kittenhood and full-blown cathood stretched out nearby or in her lap. She's either writing or watching people pass, making mental notes to potentially be written at a later date, depending on how interesting you are to her.

Sundermount

When the city seems too oppressive, Velanna escapes to the mountain. She knows a little of the things that happened here, but peace is mostly what she seeks, along with herbs. She walks the pathways like only a Dalish can, a satchel strapped to her side half-full of greenery. Fen trails along behind her, often running off the pathway when he spies a bug to chase, but never too far from Velanna. The second someone unfamiliar approaches he circles back to her, relaxed like it's an accident, but he sticks close enough to her that there's clearly some bond keeping him from disappearing like most cats would.
