I have not been in this time for very long but I've been feeling out of place these past few weeks, not simply because of my surroundings but because of the technology here. I'm curious of the more advanced weaponry that people use now. More importantly, that there are so many who know how to use them with relative ease.

[As a commander, it makes her feel disadvantaged, especially since most of these weapons are so much more powerful than a simple sword and shield.]

If anyone would be willing, I would like to learn how to use these weapons or, better yet, to be able to defend myself from them. Should one of these missions send me to a time after my own, I'd be in quite a bit of trouble. [She smiles.] I can't offer anything in return but my gratitude, though I can teach you swordplay, if you would like. Or, if you would prefer, I know how to make traps and poultices.

[Her smile turns into a full-fledged smirk.]

And for those who are ambitious, I could show you how to steal valuables off of a passerby without them ever noticing they're missing their purse.

[Once a rogue, always a rogue. Sorry, kids.]

I would like for us to meet and discuss things. We've all done a good job of outright avoiding one another since the training module and I think it's time we get down to business. There are things I'd like to discuss with all of you.

[And though her tone is light, her gaze is hard.]

We'd need a meeting place, of course, and it shouldn't be a terribly long gathering...but we've been putting this off for far too long.

[And ... Alistair stops.]

You have?

I don't usually sleep well, no, but I'm not usually dreaming about the Archdemon.

I didn't have them -- dreams about the Archdemon or the darkspawn -- often, at home, but -- this is a complete absence.

[He can only assume that's because this place has neither.]

[Slowly, she smiles.]

That's good. I'll ask the others and see if it's the same for them.

[There's a pause.]

...Do you think it would be possible to be rid of the Taint here? I've spoken to people about the advancement of this new age and I wonder if there wouldn't be a way to remove it somehow.

[He ... raises an eyebrow.]

Honestly? I have no idea what it is that this place would be able to do, but I wouldn't trust the Initiative Healers.

I wouldn't either...but I think it's worth looking into.

...of course.

[Elissa is dead in his world. He wasn't planning on living past the thirty years they gave when you started your Joining, but -- well.]

Do you know anyone we could ask?

[She shakes her head after a moment.]

One or two people possibly but-- I don't know. I don't know them well.

[It's not simply a matter of knowing someone's capabilities. It's also trusting them, something she isn't keen on doing these days.]

...well, it isn't as if our Taint is going anywhere.

[A thoughtful look crosses her face before she acquiesces with a nod.]

True enough. I'll keep looking around in the meantime. It was just an idea.

Of course.

[Something she brought up to him first and not at the meeting. But it's -- not a terrible idea.]
