Information. And we are going to need to be able to get back to Haven, which I suspect will be- difficult.

[ Fuck Up All The Venatori

The statue nods, quick and short. No point in beating around the bush. ]

Correct. And so I will also need all of the information that can be gathered as to the activities of Corypheus' forces, anything so that we can counter and work around it, strike first when able. I understand it has been a few years, but I suspect not enough for your memory to have many holes.

[ Or enough for all the information to be lost, even with the dead. ]

There are several others who came through with me. Of them all, a Templar [ yes, he knows ] with the nickname 'Wren' is perhaps the most level-headed and the best to pass information onto, besides myself.

I have... a collection of the remaining Dalish. I will not treat them like children, the information will be provided to them and they will make their own choices. That will provide you with a selection of archers and hunters in addition to myself, my lord, and Galadriel. [ who is literally somehow more terrifying, it turns out, when the world starts to end and she's been given a good solid chance to plan for ending the world as it is and building a new one. ]

I understand. I will move to Orzammar, first, this... dissenter, the one who might complicate things ought to be handled first. And there are a few more who ought be told.

[ he laughs, charmed. ] No, my friend, I have forgotten very little,[ he admits, and reaches over to dig through the upended furs to grab the crystal. ]

I assume this will work?

[ he's gotten into bed with odder folks. it's been an odd few years. ]

[ That is a start. If the Inquisition refuses to believe them, it will have to be enough. The Outsider's statue nods, resolute. At least one of those from Thranduil's past, those who have been thrust in the future, must get back. ]

'The Doctor', apparently. Perhaps you could talk some sense into him, but he is very firm in his beliefs about how the world works. Likely it's true, in his own, but this is not his world. That is the problem.

[ As it always is, he supposes. ]

The crystal will work, but be careful what is shared on it. I've seen traitors already within Kirkwall.

Magic, [ thranduil says, ] not reason, [ and does not sound bitter. he can empathize with the doctor. he is, as far as thranduil knows, alone here. no soft landing. thranduil had galadriel. the outsider now has corvo, and is somewhat unshakable. after a moment: ] Do not speak of his title as if yours is any less ridiculous.

[ it is a title. it distances. you cannot love a title in the same way you can love someone with a name. duinenor: high tide, you are valuable to me, you are important, here is a piece of my people, made new for you, i care where you sleep at night and if your clothes are warm and comfortable. the loss of you five years ago tore something from me. ]

I suppose you would prefer this over that. You must speak with the others before you arrive, give them time to prepare for the truth. Romain comes to mind. He will... appreciate the novelty.
