[ And heeeere's Leliana, back from her super secret hiatus mission. She looks a little worse for wear -- a few scratches here, a few scars there -- but she is delighted and cleaned up. (She wouldn't even dream of showing her face in the network without make-up.) ]

I'm back from my super, secret mission. Oh, and it was delightful! Action! Drama! Suspense!

[ She giggles, and it ends with a contented sigh. ]

Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't tell any of you. To be fair, I thought it was only going to take a few days but... not a month.

I have missed a lot of stuff, yes? Could someone care to fill me in? Nothing too exciting was happening while I was gone, I hope.

Leliana, my gorgeous Orlesian bard-friend, you have left out the most important detail of your mission.

Did you get to go shoe shopping?

[songofvalor]

I didn't want to. Their shoes were formless and bland! Yuck.

[ Wait. Was Zevran here last time? ...No, no, he wasn't. Shocked gasp! ]

Zevran! When did you get here? I missed you terribly.

[bloodyantivan]

I believe it has been about two weeks.

[Leaning forward.] Tell me more about how much you missed me.

[songofvalor]

[ Leaning away. ]

Hm. Maybe not "terribly".

[bloodyantivan]

[Zevran lays a hand over his heart, playing at being hurt.] Alas! You wound me.

Fortunately, you missed little more than a foray into some caverns completely lacking treasure chests, traps or bandits.

[songofvalor]

[ Soft chuckle. Maybe one day, Zev. ]

...Is that innuendo?

[latkje]

If you told, it wouldn't be a secret, would it?

video

[songofvalor]

It wouldn't. But I never really specified, did I?

video

[latkje]

The way I was listening, you didn't say much of anything.

video

[songofvalor]

Well, there we go. It is still mostly a secret.

[latkje]

[He shakes his head.] You don't have to prove it.

[Relief is evident on her face.]

I had been wondering where you'd disappeared to. I'm glad you're safe.

video

[songofvalor]

Thank you, Elissa. It's a wonderful feeling to come back and be missed. All is well, I hope?

video

[ladyspitfire]

Why wouldn't you be missed?

[She shrugs lightly.]

...You missed drinking night, though that might have been for the best. It wasn't pretty.

video

[songofvalor]

Oh, I didn't mean that. I just meant it has been far too long when it happened. In the cloister, when I returned from being away, nobody ever greeted me.

Really? That's a shame! Not pretty things, as you would imagine, make the best stories.

First an Antivan, now an Orlesian. It's almost starting to feel like home around here.

[ Ooh. More people who know Orlesian? Leliana talks back in the same language. ]

Make no mistake. I am a true, blue Fereldan who only happened to grow up in Orlais.

But if you're ever homesick, me and my friend Zevran - the Antivan you spoke of, yes? - could buy you a drink. [ She smiles good-naturedly. She'd have to talk him into it, but still. ]

[ofthegrey]

We have that in common. I was born in Highever, grew up in Orlais.

[He chuckles a little self-deprecatingly.]

I've sworn off of drinking for at least a week. I'd never turn down company from home, however. My name is Duncan.

My mother was born and raised in Denerim, but she was very poor and had to leave to work as a serving girl to Lady Cecile in Orlais. Needless to say, I was raised in Lady Cecile's household.

I am Leliana. Tell me, are you... the Grey Warden Duncan?

Re: video in Orlesian

[ofthegrey]

I see. I hope it was a pleasant experience. Orlais can be a land of extremes, as I'm sure you know.

[He dips his head in confirmation.]

Indeed. Are you a friend to Elissa?

[theguideless]

[mission?]

Is it still secret? Where you went, I mean...

video

[songofvalor]

Still a secret until I decide to spill, I'm afraid.

[theguideless]

Oh... [he looks a little disappointed.] Well, that's alright, I suppose.

[songofvalor]

[ She notices. ]

Don't worry. I am a story teller! It won't remain a secret for long.

[theguideless]

[eyebrows lift.] Storyteller?
