WHO: Martel, Adelaide LeBlanc.
WHAT: Comparative magical theory.
WHEN: Vaguely current/recent.
WHERE: Skyhold Garden.
NOTES: Martel is a warning, but if anything specific comes up, I will edit.

Having returned from his adventure down the Frostbacks with the Orlesian elf girl (and her thrice-damned horse), Martel - does not immediately seek out Adelaide's company. He does not, as a rule, seek out company. Much less immediately. There is enough as needs doing that can or must be done by him that though he has had it in mind to do for a time, it's been...not urgent. While other things - he did not miss the Abomination, no - have been.

Still. He finds her in the garden, unhurried as he descends the steps, observing her. The way that she moves, stiff and deliberate; it is a moment before he announces himself, and not with a greeting--

"It seemed to me that as I have made myself a part of this organisation, I might make myself available to some of the relevant parties as to what uses I can be put to," not quite dryly, just sort of - as Kalten once put it, you know how he is. Martel talks a certain way, it's a problem with his personality.

And as for relevant parties, there are a few, potentially. But the simplest place to start is with the mages, and he and Adelaide are...

...acquainted.

Cut away the dead plants, spread the fresh shoots, add a little power, move along. With so much of the dirt charred and the plants uprooted they would be short their expected stock for the time it would take to replace them. Adelaide denies that fixing this is any a form of penance even if she and at least her older students consider that the case. They failed. She failed. Cleaning the mess they'd made is the least she can do- unless, of course, she is interrupted.

Adelaide sits back, carefully, resting on her heels in the dirt as she peers over at Martel. "That depends."

Dry. Cold. Formal, though through no fault of his own. It is simply how she is attempting to cope. "How is it you would wish to be used?"
