Cat Playdate!

[justice_is_blond]

WHO: Anders, Reaper
WHAT: Reaper hasn't seen a cat in a while. This must be remedied
WHEN: Firstfall First
WHERE: Herb garden, gallows
NOTES: It's a cat.

Sometimes talking on the crystals leads to pleasant surprises, like this. Purrelden has been gently scooped up off the table where she knows she's not supposed to be and draped over his right shoulder as Anders heads down to the herb garden. She's content to start kneading his feathered capelet. That's all right. There's a reason the shoulders of his robes are padded, and this is it.

By the time he's reached the gardens she's a happy, purring pile of black and white on his shoulder, pleased with the tribute of dried fish snacks and headrubs.

"Hello?" It occurs to him that he's... not gotten the man's name either time they've spoken. He needs to work on his social skills. Or perhaps this will work out for the best because the guy won't be prepared to be nervous or angry around him.

"Understandable with how long the Circles have been in place, and mages tucked away out of sight from most people. Sounds like an uphill battle." Reaper lets out a soft sigh, rubbing at the back of his neck. It's not difficult to start drawing parallels between mages and Omnics.

"There's a situation going on in my world, that's similar in the broad strokes. And only been going on for a few decades and still being struggled with." It's not difficult for him to imagine the outward ripples of what may have happened should the Rite have gone through, templars seeing just how far they'd be able to go.

"I'd say you stopped a bad situation from potentially turning worse. With an opportunity for change, and time to work on swaying public opinion."

He gives Gabriel a slightly surprised look.

"Few worlds ever seem to have something similar. Most get here and are shocked that a clash like ours could even have happened, that..." Anders shakes his head. "And the opinion that I stopped a bad situation is on the rare side as well. Though Rifters are more inclined to hear me out."

Now it's his turn to sigh. "Likely because they weren't raised thinking mages needed to be locked up. There's a life-long training there that makes much of the reform our world needs an uphill battle. But it's worth fighting and it's worth the work. I believe that with everything I am."
