[ By quiet, you mean, levelling a city block, right? ]

Naturally. I prefer working when it comes to it.

[ Or you know, that no one knows *you* did it? ]

[rowancrowned]

[ maybe he can get anders to do an informative group lesson on explosions. ]

You have settled into the Thedas way of things?

[ you know, like how they bring in ex addicts to tell kids not to do drugs. ]

[ The second she works out how to get some gaatlock it's all over. Where on where is her good boy Tesla? ]

How courteous you are.

[ It's laughed, as quick as her initial bitterness. Snapped away as fast as that. ]

[rowancrowned]

Where do I sit, and what do I have laid before me?

[ rhetorical, as always.

but she is not an elf, so she does not have to assume her actions will be held as evidence of a rifter's behavior and another groups', too. ]

One does not play chess with backgammon pieces and find sympathy when they are trounced. Do you have any questions left unanswered about why things are done a certain way, or why some matters are not spoken of? My door is open for just such questions.

Nothing I do not already know the truth of the answer too. What I do not know, I have seen similar enough to guess. Though they have less clever beasts to fear, and I suppose I must remember that about them.

[ But there is a sigh. ]

Anything else I fear the trouble it might cause you for my own indulgence and I have no need or want to cause such issues.

Better you make me blush now than worry later.

In my optimism, I presume our success against Corypheus and have devoted no small measure of thought of thinking of after, of when there are no more rifts for us to close.

[shri]

Mm.

[ Mild as sunlight. ]

I am glad someone of us has such a hope for Rifters.

[rowancrowned]

I am long-lived, and I will have a wife to consider. Perhaps children.

[shri]

[ Oh, children. She's sure Gwen will have perfectly little squalling rolly-polly little babies that never give her a moment's peace, like she deserves, but even so - ]

Then I pray you keep that hope alive. For surely the great blessing of mortal men's short lives will keep that dream from them as far as any of these people are concerned for us.

[rowancrowned]

That is the purpose of your office, is it not? To make them care?

[shri]

Help is provided because help should be provided. It is the only reason such positions should be given out and should exist.

[ For one moment they could cry out your name, swear you the hope of your people, you could even do for them now as she wished to do for Thranduil. See someone only the greatest happiness.

But night will come, night will always come, and they will turn belly up like cowards. They will sell out their own people for the right price, and so many will die for it. She will not be that fool again, she will not be betrayed again. She will not let other people pay for her naivety, her hopes, her foolishness. Because she had believed something to be true. ] But I learned too long ago that you may give everything of yourself away to the point of starvation, goodwill still will not be something you can always trust.
