Oh! Andaran atish’an! This is such an interesting way to talk to people, don't you think? I can see your face and you can see mine! It's like a mirror, but it reflects other people back at you.
[Merrill waves, smiling broadly, her large eyes sparkling with delight.]
My name is Merrill, and I'm looking for my friends. I appear to be a little lost. [She swings the tablet around too fast to really see anything useful. Just a lot of stone.] Did you see that? I'm lost. But I have friends who can help me become, ah, not lost.
Sometimes, when I was lost in Kirkwall, Isabela - she's one of my friends - would swoop down from the top of a building and tell me where to go. She's very pretty, with dark hair and a lovely blue bandana. Oh, and a necklace. It's quite hard to miss her necklace and what's below it. And there's Aveline, but sometimes I worry she doesn't like me. She has red hair, like the sun, and quite a lot of freckles. I like her freckles. I wish I had freckles... [Merrill trails off, tapping her fingers against her cheeks as if counting freckles. She comes back to herself suddenly.] I'm sorry, I tend to get lost in my thoughts. I think that's how I ended up here. Do you ever do that? You start thinking and then you just don't come out. What was I saying before?
Oh, yes, my friends! I have quite a few of them. Isabela and Aveline and Varric! Varric is a dwarf, and he's very funny, but his stories aren't always true. He tells me stories about pirates, but Isabela says they're mostly made up. And Fenris, he's elvhen, like me, but--that's not going to be trouble, is it? In Kirkwall, they make us live in alienages, and they're very dirty. I had a nice house, but it was very small. No one in Thedas seems to like the elvhen very much, and living in the alienage is very uncomfortable...
[She stares past the tablet screen for a moment, thoughtful.] I hope there aren't any alienages here...
If you know my friends, would you tell them I'm looking for them? Ma serannas for your troubles. Or, if you recognize this place-- [She ducks out of the frame, an alleyway filling the screen for a few seconds before she fumbles the tablet and then drops it. Merrill's face pops into the frame again, a worried expression on it.] Oh, dear, I hope I haven't broken you...
[ooc: Feel free to engage the very lost Merrill in actiony posts. As a Dalish elf, she tends to speak in the elvhen language frequently. You can hover over the text with your mouse to get a translation!]

And the Deep Roads has its share of giant creepy-crawlies too.
But -- yes, I'm very sure!

STOP
WHAT.]
Y-you're the King?
This is even better than knowing the Champion! Hello, Your Majesty, is your throne cold when you sit on it? Does it make your backside go numb? Do you have to tell your people not to pull each other's hair too?
Video;
Well, I haven't been king for that long. In fact, the ceremony was less than two days before my arrival here with Anora.

...upset her how, precisely?
Did you tell her she looked too too old to be queen?
[Hopefully not.]
Video;
I said something about watching her children, but I don't think she likes the elvhenan very much.
Video;
Oh, I don't know if that was the reason she was upset.
[Children are a sore subject for her, he's fairly sure.]
Video;
Really? Oh, good, she seems like a lovely woman, but I said that, you should be happy. I said that, too. Are you? Happy?
Video;
I am certainly working toward it. Happiness, I mean.
