Opening the door reveals a ragged but intent looking Nari with a stoppered glass bottle in each hand. One is full of chipped lyrium crystals and the other contains what looks like a concentrated viscous lyrium potion, both of which she holds out towards Anders.

“New shipment came in, and when I went to fetch it, most all of it was like this,” she says, indicating the liquid. “Only one box survived, and no reason I could see for either the melt or the lack of it. I thought the two of you might want to take a look.”

Sorry for the delay!

"Shit." Cosima comes over. "If you can keep the intact box away from the rest, and away from the rifters and templars for now... probably not a bad idea, though I don't know if it'll be enough to help. May I?" She reaches for the vial with the liquid, though doesn't take it without permission.

np!

The vial is easily relinquished--after all, she'd come to deliver them to the pair.

"I'll see what I can do when I head back," Nari says, "Cleanup's already started down there. If you think you might want more of that stuff," she jerks her head towards the vial now in Cosima's hand, "I'll try to get ahold of it before it all gets disposed of."

He considers the offer and nods.

"Please, just in case? There's no telling, currently, what we might need and it's better to have it in case than not. And thank you fur this. I know you've your hands full with a great many things on top of this."

He takes the vial with crystals, holding it a bit away from Cosima as an extra tiny precaution after her suggestion.

"Yeah, agreed; especially if I'm right about what this is doing to the lyrium, it's not going to be useful except for research, but if you can save any, it might help us." She gives Nari a small, tired smile. "Thanks so much for this, really."
