I do not think that is a feeling I will ever associate with you.
[ Solas thinks, then, that perhaps he should begin to be more reticent. He should begin to pause his complaints to Thranduil, if only to lighten the burden. He is already heavy with secrets; Solas does not want to add to that.
Waving a hand, he turns away. ]
I do not think kindness is something I am worthy of. Not as it stands.

Crystal alone, Casimir, or do you need me in the flesh?

If you would bring me the receipts for the purchases, it would be much appreciated. I will look the fool if I am not familiar with the good works done in my name.
[ he translates 'eliphant' to oliphaunt neatly enough, and thinks that legolas would enjoy that. perhaps if his son ever shows the inclination, he would contact lakshmi again, and make arrangements for excess. ]
You are content with your work? We must find meaning here.

I long to know you, [ thranduil admits. ] If only to have a notion of how to best coax you away from such thoughts.

Whichever is convenient. It concerns Red Lyrium; I'm aware the project isn't under your purview, but Mage Delacroix is. I thought it best to approach you first.

Or has there been a breakthrough?

Or has there been a breakthrough?
No; we've spoken little. I've been reviewing documents.
The bulk of the project's work concerns the destruction of red lyrium as encountered. By then it has touched the land, infected it. It may be reinvigorated only slowly, at great cost.
[ the gallows. ]
It touches the population, too. As a plague in winter. But the worst sicknesses don't spread far — the infected can't wander once stricken.

And those only infected with a weaker form of the illness? What are they capable of?

They flee. They work. They carry it to their families, and to the roads. A cough begun in Perendale ends in Cumberland's blood.
Red lyrium is a slow poison — much as the untouched ore. Templars may resist it enough to encourage growth, where it only poisons another man. The reaction of mages is sudden and violent; all this suggests that for its differences, a base sensitivity holds.
If this is true, red lyrium might be refined, made more potent. We might attempt to make it kill.

I will speak to the two Rifter physicians. I think their insight would be helpful. I would rather we had some measure of a cure before we began the work you propose, but it may well be that there is no cure for it.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. If we were able to make it work, it would be useful indeed. Continue to look into the matter, if you please.

Of course. Your mutual experience of the — [ what was everyone calling it. ] — Blood fish, may be of use. Would you rather speak with Delacroix, or I?
Do you think yourself able to propose the idea to Delacroix in such a way that she would find it favorable?
[ it is a bit ''''out there'''. he understands that. ]
Or perhaps in such a way she thinks it her own idea?

No.
No.

You will receive reports of everything I do, I will not leave you looking confused in the face of those who judge us so harshly.
[ As for the rest - there's a noise, and it cannot be called pleased. ]
Meaning? My meaning never changes, neither in my durbar hall, the battlefield or the worst streets of the alienage. [ Bitter, vicious. ]
