[ The feed turns on. Leliana looks closely at the notebook and waves her hand in front of the video feed. It mirrors her movements. There are other people in other windows and they are all watching her! She wonders if this is what the other side of the mirror feels like. ]

This… communication device is so interesting! Is it some sort of, um, ancient magic? I don’t know much about those, I am afraid, but it is certainly useful, no?

This place is really grand. I don’t think I have ever been anywhere like here. Not in Ferelden. Not in Orlais. Not in Orzammar. I am sure these walls and windows have a lot of stories to tell, and these grand spaces have a lot of adventure to uncover. [She giggles.] I am going to find out, soon enough.

I still can’t believe I’m here! I can’t tell if I’m dead or if I’m dreaming. I hope nobody pinches me awake soon, at least.

Oh. But I have certainly babbled enough, I think. I am Leliana! It’s a pleasure to meet all of you!

[ ooc: psst, mods, it's Leliana not Lelania in the tags. :D ]

Well, I don't want to jinx anything.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

You know the others would just blame me if one showed up after that.

I'm sure you won't! And if it is your fault, somehow, it would be an accident and you can't be blamed for it, I think.

[Alistair's lips twitch into a smirk.]

With Morrigan here? I'm not so sure about that.

Morrigan's here?

[ A long, patient sigh. ]

Well, they do say obstacles are the Maker's way of making His children stronger.

I haven't seen here, but she's probably skulking.

[And he's totally not going to mention how strange she was acting when she was around.]

I don't care what she's doing as long as she's doing it away from me.

So long as you're not suitemates, I think you'll be safe.

[He ... purses his lips.]

The Queen is here.

From where I came from, she is Queen no longer.

How are you handling it?

We have such a happy marriage, what could the problem be?

[He's getting the feeling she's from one of those timelines.]

You're... married to her?

I don't understand. You are ruling by yourself, last time I checked.

Ah, right. That.

[He makes a sort of vague fluctuating space between his hands. Big, small, big, small.]

Details ... might be different here, than you remember. Depending on who you talk to.

I'm so sorry, Alistair. If it's any consolation, I don't think your marriage would mean anything here?

[He rubs his neck. He might not like the arrangement, but...]

We took vows, you know. They have to mean something, don't they?

But what about your own feelings?

[Feelings ... responsibility ... feelings ... responsibility ...]

I apologize, Leliana, but those are -- ah, private?

[Or at least ... not for the network.]

I understand. I shouldn't pry, if you don't want to tell me.

It just isn't for public ears.

[And what's privating on these things unless he's templating from someone else...]

[TOTALLY NOT STALKING THIS CONVERSATION

NOPE TOTALLY NOT BUT woops she heard that.]

I am...

What?

I'm sorry. Alistair is ruling by himself, from where I came from.

Is he now.

[she's piecing this together. her eyes are narrowing.

.....oh Maker there's a chance she's dead in some alternate dimension.]

One can only wonder how he is fairing on his own.

He is doing wonderfully. He surprised everyone by studying governance, and is well-loved by the people.

[and that....shuts her up.

her lips are drawn into a thin white line she's just. thinking.]

That...is certainly surprising.

[sob she's tempted to ask of her own fate.]

Excuse me for saying so, but he's not as incompetent as you'd like to think, my lady.

So I have heard.

[but Leliana he bought Hawaiian shirts at a yard sale.]

But Alistair says you two are married and ruling side by side, yes?

I'm sure together, Ferelden fared better. You have the sort of cunning wit that Alistair does not have, one that I can appreciate.

[ That is indeed an unforgivable crime. ]
