video;
[There's a certain dog snuffling at the communicator when it turns on. In fact, his nose actually turns the device off and onto audio for several moments, the sound of his heavy breathing filling the microphone.]
Off, you lush. I need that.
[The mic is covered by something - fabric, actually, in an attempt to clean off the device - and then it switches back to video. A woman with red hair can be seen looking over the communicator critically, looking for scratches and cracks. The dog is gone and she settles back. It's easy from this angle to see the Warden-Commander's crest on her armor, even if it's partly covered by a curtain of hair.]
I wish to speak to whomever's in charge of bringing recruits here. They have no authority to conscript a Warden in any way, not without first making an appeal to Weisshaupt. If I cannot have an audience with the leader of this outpost - [or whatever it is] - then I would speak with anyone else who carries a position of authority.
[She knows her stuff, clearly. She frowns into the camera, tapping it once. She sighs, glancing at her dog. The commanding aura nearly vanishes, replaced by exasperation.]
...I'm speaking to myself, aren't I?
[Elissa glances back to the device, fussing with it once more. It turns off.]

Re: Action
I've no idea. As far as I knew, Justice just disappeared one day, Kristoff's body too wasted to support him anymore. I never made the connection that it occurred only a short time after that templar joined the Grey Wardens.
Action
...What templar?
[Which templar is probably the better thing to ask: the Wardens employ anyone. Alistair, for instance, had almost been one. But something Anders said has her wondering now.]
Action
[Nathaniel casts her a curious look.}
You don't remember him? You were still there when he Joined...
Action
[What those things are, she will not say. That's her secret to bury.]
I was told someone else would be handling things while I was gone. Who is this 'Rolan'?
Action
[His expression turns grim.]
There was some sort of attack. Anders and Justice... [He shakes his head.] There wasn't much left of the bodies by the time we found them, and every just assumed that Anders was among them. We thought they'd been attacked by darkspawn or something.
Action
[Maker, what a mess. But now this explains a little about why Anders is acting as he did.]
By then, they had merged. I just...don't understand. Anders didn't seem content with the Wardens but he never seemed like he wanted to launch a crusade, either.
Action
[Nathaniel has never approved of Anders' actions in Kirkwall, and the two of them have come to a silent agreement to disagree.]
Justice changed Anders somehow, or Anders changed Justice. Honestly, I don't know for sure.
