NOTES: OOC Poast, CW: rich people being garbage, elf related racism, other updates to come as they apply!

In the wake of the events in Minrathous, there has been a great deal of reshuffling of power and alliances both within the Imperium and between those within it and the surrounding powers. A particularly well-off Laetan merchant by the name of Flavius Aurelius is one such alliance shuffler. He has holdings in the south along the border and a number of cross-country trading caravans and has made overtures of aid in getting Inquisition personnel into (and around) the country in exchange for protection against having his lands occupied and used to do the precise opposite of what he's offering.

This is a rather good deal for the Inquisition, especially since it involves more risk on his part than theirs, and so all attempts are to be made to convince him that he'll be a valued member of the cause. By his countrymen in particular, who may enjoy particular success in doing so for a variety of reasons. Thus, the Tevene contingent of the Inquisition—as well as diplomatic representatives from Ferelden, Orlais, and a wayward Dalish elf—find themselves in the position of doing this due diligence, in the hopes that this will make things go smoothly—better than smoothly if possible—at the meeting established for the next day to discuss terms.

What better way than a small dinner party?

Honestly, the fact that Bene keeps throwing spells at him is ridiculous but this one? Dispelling him? Is absolutely beyond the pale. The burst is spent almost as soon as it's thrown and Loki feels a sickening wash come over him. What a hideous sensation--it feels like his skin is trying to crawl off. Is this was normal people feel like?

He shakes it off as best he can (his head feels a bit off kilter but that is hardly surprising given he is without magic) and bridges the gap to where Bene lies sprawled on the ground. He kicks him in the side (not very gently but not with true vitriol) and scowls.

"Stop doing that you idiot!" He sounds hoarse, dear gods he's going to be feeling this all week. "I am not going to hurt you!"

He has hardly noticed that his skin has gone bluish grey, that his clothing strains a bit, that he is just ever so slightly taller than he is wont to be, or that he has a pair of horns protruding from his skull and curved back over his hair.

A yelp of surprise (perhaps pain?) and Bene rolls, covering his face-- but when he uncovers it, even his drunken hallucinations aren't enough to mask what unveils itself to him.
His look of nervous fear has transitioned to one of abject horror, staring at Loki like he's suddenly sprouted horns.

which.
he has
