It’s an ordinary day—so not a very pleasant one. The weather is dreary and muggy, and the day’s lunch is a soup that’s a little too watery and bland. The griffons are being their usual level of noisy and swoopy. The work is its usual level of urgent and difficult.

But in the storage rooms, something wiggles. Then it hums. Then it pops.

Outside of the storage room, there’s no actual sound, no shift in the wind, and no visible sign of a change. But the pop might be felt—like the moment something finally clicks, or two ideas suddenly fit together, except the opposite. In the heads of everyone in the fortress, something is suddenly not connected quite right.

The first sign of what’s gone wrong is that someone immediately stands up and tells the cook how bad the soup is.

A lot of people’s days are about to get exponentially worse.

Anders' expression goes serious.

"If you'd like to tell me what's going on, I'm here. I've some... experience with lingering issues after things go to the Void and back." He'd wanted to say he'd some experience treating others but while that's true it's apparently not accurate enough. "On the other hand, if you don't want to talk about it, pick something else and we can talk about that."

Best not to ask directly, right now.

"I don't know," comes Benedict's first answer, and then a quick shake of his head, adding, "I'm afraid." Then he winces, having not meant to say that, and shakes his head again.
"I don't want to talk about it," he decides, pushing his hair back away from his forehead.

Anders nods.

"Then we'll not talk about it. But I will say that I entirely understand fear, and if you do feel like talking about it, my door is open. Doors. Clinic, Infirmary, rooms, all of it." Fear is the mages' worst enemy. They're taught to fear themselves just as much as common people are taught to fear them, and it holds them down and back.

"There's going to be a fight after the battle with Corypheus, and perhaps you'll be clear of it in Tevinter but considering the state of the Chantry and new Divine it's possible no mages will be beyond its reach." No living mages, at least. "We can be here for each other."
