[The video feed flips on, focusing (after a few seconds of jostling around) on Galadriel, sitting on the steps of the Initiative Hold, her sheathed sword beside her. Having just finished training, she’s attired appropriately, wearing a simple dress and with her hair braided and wound about her head- displaying those pointed ears quite prominently for those who might have missed them before.]

I grow weary of the constant grey here. It is overlong since I have heard a running stream or seen the sunlight filtered through the forest canopy.

Tell me, those of you who have journeyed outside this city: does greenery yet remain in this world? It would do my heart well even to hear of it.

It's a relief to hear, but then what land are you connected to? Only that of your home?

[inafadingcrown]

Perhaps. Until my arrival, I had not thought of the existence of other worlds; it is beyond my ken.

I believe that is the case for most people here. Still, I would think there is some connection or we wouldn't be here at all. Although, perhaps it's very different than the sort of connection your elves share with their land.

Tell me then, the elves in your own world, your people, do you have your own languages and culture? All of which having had no influence from humans?

[inafadingcrown]

We do, yes. [A little pause.] No. It is wrong to say we have had no influence from humans. Yet we have had no more from them then they have had from us. Indeed, I should say that human society has been more greatly touched by that of the elves than the opposite, though they may not realize it for themselves.

[Snort] It's hard to realize something when it is not blatant enough to stare at you in the face.

But still, it's odd. I would assume Thedas could have been the same were we... immune to the changes man brought to us. So many things would be different.
