(OPEN)

WHO: Josephine Montilyet & YOU
WHAT: General catch-all for encounters with Josephine in the second half of Wintermarch.
WHEN: the last two weeks of Wintermarch.
WHERE: In & around Skyhold.
NOTES: I've put a post in Josie's journal here for anyone who might wish to discuss assumed or handwaved CR! I would love to get a gauge on how much our characters should know each other. :') Also let me know if you'd like an original starter.

Also, also! I am happy to reply in brackets if you'd prefer!



1. The Ambassador's Office

Josephine's office: located off a hallway leading from Skyhold's main hall, this is where the Ambassador of the Inquisition spends most of her time. She can be often be sighted sitting at her desk, dealing with a pile of paperwork (invites from nobles, letters from dignitaries, you know the sort). Said pile would be taller than her head if Josephine didn't have a very methodical system of sorting them into slightly smaller piles to be tackled. She is very good at her job, you see.

However busy she might look at a glance, she is more than happy to answer any questions passing members of the Inquisition may have, if they're within her realm of knowledge, and although she wouldn't readily admit it, she would certainly welcome the distraction of interesting conversation as well.

Approach?

2. The Herald's Rest

It's not often that Josephine comes out this way, tied up in her work as she usually is, but if you're lucky, you might find the Inquisition's ambassador enjoying a quiet hour or so to herself. You'll find her either seated at a table, quietly disappointed about the state of the Inquisition's wine supplies, or in amongst the people, ears open for any hint of a scandal. Offer your dear Ambassador a drink, or perhaps ask her to join in a game of Wicked Grace?

The choice is yours, although be warned: she is frightfully good at card games.

3. WILDCARD

Josephine can also be found wandering the grounds of Skyhold, be it the battlements or the gardens, or anywhere in between, and if she sees you and you don't seem too preoccupied by something else, she just might come right up and ask, "It's a beautiful place, isn't it?"

It's at one point when Josephine is frowning into her glass that a barmaid approaches her. Kitty has a friendly face, and little dwarva girls are usually not seen as remotely intimidating, and so she puts those qualities to their best use - smiling sweetly at the woman to take the sting out of asking a question that boils down to What's the problem, anyway, lady?

"You look dissatisfied," she comments cheerily. "Not fond of the vintage?"

Kitty's smile in return is perfectly wry.

"You don't have to be polite, you know," she replies with a bit of a laugh. Though it's certainly no surprise, is it? The thought of getting an honest answer from a diplomat is a rather absurd one. Certainly no fault of Josephine's, but it does make things a little harder - Kitty might not be passionate about this job, but that certainly doesn't mean she doesn't want to do it well. "I didn't make the wine myself. I certainly won't be offended if you don't like it.

"What would make you less homesick? What can we get for you, Lady Montilet?"
