And that hasn't been causing any trouble? Some of them seem so different from here.

[ Rifters, or the Dalish, really. ]

[chainlightning]

Nope! I mean, some of the Rifters have gotten into disagreements with other people, but I mean- they were dropped into this world. They don't know a thing about even part of Thedas's cultures. Disagreements were bound to happen.

And I just don't think we should only expect them to learn about us when they have so much to offer, too.

[alankazam]

It's a privilege we may not have again. I admit some curiousity as to how that knowledge is being recorded.

[chainlightning]

A lot of them write things down for their classes, and I write them down too, as best I can. Er- when I'm at class, I suppose I forget, other times.

I'd ask if they wanted to write down things in general, but it's a lot of work and I think they might be afraid they'd be attacked or something.

[alankazam]

If it's heresy they're worried about, we could consider it all fiction.

[ Though that might not help much. ]

[chainlightning]

Calling something fiction has never stopped people from attacking it.

[alankazam]

No. But nothing does, even doing nothing.

[chainlightning]

In the end- I think it should be up to them. Individually, if possible, but some are from the same world.

[alankazam]

Of course. It would be wrong to treat it like doing lines.

[chainlightning]

Ew. I'm glad I never really had to do lines, it sounds awful.

[alankazam]

I don't think I'd have memorized the Chant without them. Never listened that well. How'd you learn to write?

[chainlightning]

Oh- the Keeper taught me. She used a lot of different ways, really; I tended to get distracted.

[alankazam]

Perhaps you were just noticing different things.

[chainlightning]

Maybe! I do tend to see things that others don't. Like butterflies.

[alankazam]

Have you seen the big blue ones, that winter down in the hills? They don't spend the winter as worms. They'll be all over the insides of the trees right now.

[ A beat. ]

Perhaps we could find some.

[ do u wanna go butterfly hunting ]

[chainlightning]

Oh! No, I don't think I have! How big are they?

[ SO EXCITED ]

We should! When are you free?

[alankazam]

All the time, I suppose. [ There are some things that he probably shouldn't miss, but those things are a lot less exciting than finding butterflies. ] Perhaps we could go after this Winter Palace business.

[ He suspects they'll need the break. ]

They're about as big as one of my hands, each. I suppose I don't know how big your hands are, though. So we'll have to figure that out then.

[chainlightning]

That sounds good to me!

[ She is so, so going to need the break. ]

Oh, I'm excited now! Will you contact me when you're ready, then?

[alankazam]

Of course. Where do you usually stay?

[[ february log good by you? ]]

[chainlightning]

Oh- down in the valley, near the Wardens! I have an aravel, you can't miss it.
