They're priestesses. For a religion, but they're witches too. Not like witches in other places.

[She considers this for a second.]

You're from, what, England, right?

[That's what she thinks, anyway. She speaks all fancy.]

[heirring]

Kalvad. Have you heard of it? It's sometimes called the Summer or Brass Isle - something about the color of the cliffs on the coast, I believe.

[It seems doubtful. She's never heard of any of the places Luana's mentioned and though her grasp on geography is less than flawless, it certainly isn't so dreadful as all that.]

--What kind of witch priestesses are they then? If they're not like witches here.

[pyrazine]

It's.

I don't know. More religious.

[heirring]

Well. That's fair enough, I suppose.

[Fetching up her pen, she sticks it back behind her ear again. Or in her hair? It certainly seems to disappear completely.]

I'd be interested to meet a witch here, actually. I've read some about them - hedgewitches - but every talented person I've heard of here has been some kind of proper mage. With some kind of education, I mean. Witches seem like a very particular kind of practitioner in Thedas.

[pyrazine]

I don't think you can use magic if you're not trained back home.

The Orishas would probably just consume you or something. Well. Humans.

[She considers something.]

One day I'll tell you the creation myth that I got told that kind of breaks it down.

[heirring]

Orishas--

[She's just itching to reach for her pen again, but that at least has distracted her. She'll need more than the margins in a gardening book to make notes in for an entire creation myth.]

Oh! Please do! Not here, I don't think. I'd like to be able to take notes, I think. Oh, but that would be lovely. --Have you told anyone else here it yet? Not that it matters really, only I think it's strange that the Inquisition doesn't seem very concerned about any of it. You think they would be. Though I suppose there's lots of things they're rather busy with already.

[pyrazine]

It's a story I can only tel on the full moon.

There are stupid reasons.

[heirring]

[Squint.]

...Religious reasons?

[Wysteria, don't jump straight to equating stupid reasons with religious ones. It's very gauche.]

[pyrazine]

Sort of?

[She shrugs.]

If you tell it on a night that isn't the night for it then there's...stuff that might happen? I don't know if it can happen here. You basically are testing fate and this one really annoying spirit.
