[ 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 ]

It's alright.

[There's actually a bit of a smile.]

Believe me, I've heard much worse about my father than that.

Thank you. I hope that has not soured your opinion of me. I would like to know you as Nathaniel, not solely as Arl Howe's son, now, if you don't mind.

I... would very much like that, thank you. I've worked very hard to be judged on my own merits, rather than my father's cruel deeds.

Then that is settled, then.

I have a question for you now. You spoke of Elissa familiarly. You know her?

I do. Our fathers were close before the Blight, so our families tended to spend a lot of time together. I was closer to Fergus, but I was friends with Elissa, too.

And then, of course, she became Warden-Commander of Vigil's Keep, and she conscripted me into the Order.

Oh. That's wonderful! A childhood friend and a fellow Grey Warden. You have more in common with her than me.

[Her exuberance is catching, and Nathaniel finds himself smiling.]

Perhaps, though before she showed up here it had been many years since I'd last seen her. Though if what she says is true, it had only been a few months for her. Time here is a bit strange.

It is indeed. But that mysterious quality adds to the beauty of the piece, no?

I suppose so, though it does make things difficult. Especially when explaining to various people all of the things that have happened in the intervening years.

[Like the blowing up of a certain Chantry, the large-scale mage uprising... all that good stuff.]

[ Best not... tell Leliana that. ]

That's what stories are for, I think.

[Definitely not going to go there.]

True, though I’m afraid I’m not that good at telling stories.
