Hello, network. I am Leliana, for all the new people here and those that do not remember.

One of my favorite preoccupations is storytelling. That is, listening to stories and telling them. I've been wondering...

A lot of us come from different places, yes? Different places mean different cultures, and to get to my point, different stories. I don't know if there is a collection of some sort, or if this has been asked before, but I want to listen to fables, myths or legends of all sorts from your homelands, if you will indulge me. That way, I can spread these marvelous stories in my travels if/when I get back to Thedas.

If you're more of the listening sort, I will be more than happy to relay stories from where I came from.

[ !!! :o More people from Thedas. And an elf! A rather handsome one, too. She wonders how far those tattoos go. How intriguing! ]

I am. I was born in Orlais and I spent most of my adult life there, but I came back to my homeland of Ferelden three years ago.

How about you? Where did you come from?

[ Oh. :( She knows about the slavery in Tevinter. She's seen it firsthand back in the elven alienage in Denerim. ]

I'm... sorry.

I hear Kirkwall is a beautiful city, yes? I hear it has a beautiful chantry with a magnificent statue of Andraste welcoming you as you enter its grand halls. Oh, how I would love to visit it sometime.

[ And yet, Fenris doubts she knows the extent of his experience. ]

Do not offer pity for that which you don't understand.

[ It's not a hostile remark, but it's said dryly. Leliana, meet Fenris, the Brooding Elf. ]

It - may have its charms, yes.

Oh, it was -- that is -- I'm so -- ...all right. [ HONESTLY NO IDEA HOW TO APPROACH THIS GUY ]

I know where you're from now. But I don't know your name.

[ A subtle nod. MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO]

I am Fenris. [ the markings, he figures, must look strange to her. they usually do to everyone else. ]

[ Strange... and pretty. She's nice enough not to mention them, though. ]

Fenris? Like the wolf? It suits you, I think, with your white hair and intense demeanor.

[ he blinks, a subtle show of surprise before he's averting his gaze, briefly. ]

I - [ He honestly was...unsure of how he felt for his name. It was his, even if it was given to him by Danarius.

Anything else, even Leto, would seem foreign. Not his own. ]

- Thank you.

[ She catches him avert his gaze and oh he's shy! That is so cute. She giggles, like she knows one of his little secrets. ]

You're welcome.
