Iorveth's eyes pass from each speaker in turn, watching them and taking in the stories they weave for their covers, trying to put something together in his head with what little he knows about Thedas, it's religions and the cultures of its races. In the end, he's utterly at a loss, only having been here a handful of weeks. He's read through history books, yes, but that doesn't prepare him well enough to create a person in his head that fits in here.

Thankfully, the others seem to have that part covered for him. When Beleth glances to him, considering the name, he gives her a nod. Luca seems well enough. The story she weaves seems simple enough, and yet, it's not one he'd be able to keep up in a long conversation. Thus -

"Best you interrupt me quickly should I get into a debate, as I'll likely get two sentences in before I run out of facts I know of the Chant." Or the Canticles, or Andraste, or the Maker, or anything else specific to Thedas.

Tugging at the corner of his neckline, it points out the large tattoo of branches and leaves that crawls along his shoulder and up the side of his neck. Not something easy to hide, which is why he's asking about it. "Would this be suspicious for a city elf?"

"I can be counted on for interruptions and unnecessary explanations," Marisol offers, her smile self-aware and rather playful, even as she slouches against Melys. Better they practice being comfortable with one another now, than have to figure it out later.

With an idle flick of her wrist, she continues, "And truthfully, most nobles are so ignorant, unconcerned with or bewildered by elves that they'd probably brush it off as alienage nonsense." A tilt of her head. "Most humans, for that matter."

Her own limited interest in elves tended to extend to are they a mage? and, if yes, they were categorised as one of her people. Other elves are... other elves. Not people she specifically looks to degrade, but not people she feels especially sorry for, either. She has enough to worry about with mages; her focus cannot be derailed for all causes, even if that thought would likely make Nikos despair at how thoroughly she'd missed the point of his many letters.
