See if anyone took over my old room or if it's still free, you've probably got better things to do than supper and all.
M'lady says more with her silence than three quarters of the Inquisition say with three months of words. And don't spoil the illusion, I don't need to know you eat, thought you inhaled the Dalish looking at you the way deshyrs touch up the Paragons.
I mean I grew up here. Even in the dark we had stories about Sundermount and the last clan didn't end up coming out all jolly. [Or at all. Maybe that's what's happening now.

he will not be connected to the land here like that, not even now, after he'd shed his blood at ghislain. he had not worn a rut in the memory of the place, not yet. perhaps he ought to acquire some thick-soled slippers for the task. ]
A thing not to be touched after coming back to Kirkwall, to the spectre of his father with an arm outstretched; mine and ours and a flexible view of possession even in jest.]
I'll bring the tea you can't be trusted, I'll be about when I'm about. Animals y'know.

[ and now it's done and the ink is dry, and thranduil has a claim to the name baudin, should he need it. ]

What sort of supper?
no subject
[ downright homey, even. thranduil isn't afraid of the dark. ]
Stew and brown bread, in all likelihood. It is too cold for fish, still. Wine. Some manner of Orlesian pastry.
