[LMAO GUESS WHO LOOKS REALLY PUT-OFF.

SPOILERS: it's anora. in fact her hair is done up in a really sharp bun to help accentuate how angry she is.]

It was certainly nice seeing people attempt to kill my father again. As though having it only happen once in my lifetime was simply not enough. And to include Cailan in all of this...well-- [she cuts herself off]

I may be echoing a few others who have voiced their complaints after our little training session, but nevertheless...what were we to gain from this? Unless this was an attempt to let us know that in the future our enemies lie amongst those we once knew and...trusted, it would have been more beneficial to just pit ourselves against each other in training.

[she reaches at a gold necklace around her neck, still angrily musing about what went down these past few days.]

And lest you forget not all of us have weapons suited for combat.

[hey martin where've you been boy.]

Well what else could it have been? Intentional torture?

I would hope not.

Re: voice

[theguideless]

[oh you know.

not home.]

It was real.

voice

[selfloyalty]

[get your ass back home kid.]

As real as any memory could be, I suppose.

The people in it, however, were not.

[theguideless]

[you're not my real mom >:|]

Yes, they were.

[selfloyalty]

[oh wow low blow dude. low blow.]

They were apparitions. Had they been real, they would not have acted in the manner that they did.

[theguideless]

[insistent, bleak, and almost talking through her response:] No. They were real.

[selfloyalty]

[sharply, as though to cut him off c'mon boy.]

Martin. They were not.

[theguideless]

[louder:] Yes, they were. You didn't see.

[selfloyalty]

Not yours perhaps, but I did see mine [and her dad got smashed into a bajillion pieces at one point okay] as well as a few others.

[more forcefully. sorry kiddo she can't be entirely calm about this.]

They were not real, Martin, and saying it louder will not make it any more true.

[theguideless]

[woops too bad still loud. unchecked, unused temper, table for one:] You didn't see, you don't know. It's. Real! I was home.

[selfloyalty]

[her voice is rising too, and there's a threatening, commanding chill to her words.]

I did see and I do know. I was home as well, but it was not real. What had happened there was uncharacteristic of both my father and my late husband.

You are being ridiculous. Step back and actually listen to what you are trying to have yourself believe, Martin. These were simply memories, corrupted ones at that. They were not real, you were not actually home.

[theguideless]

[loud, huffing, unhappy breaths. cringing against the need to duck down to the authority looming over him. she's asking him to accept what he'd felt wasn't real. he can't. of all the awful things he's done, that's...the worst. he's sure.]

No. No. [throughout her reasoning.] No.

Stop. You don't know, you. Don't. Know.

[selfloyalty]

Listen to yourself, you are in hysterics.

[good thing this is voice because scary lady is scary.]

[theguideless]

[shouting:] You don't KNOW! So stop it!

[sucking in a wincing breath ugh he doesn't know how to be angry it's just petrified him a second there. recoiling:] Please.

[selfloyalty]

[she sounds exasperated.]

Then continue acting like a child throwing a tantrum. Be my guest.

And do continue living wherever in Andraste's name you're staying if you're so keen on hiding away. I am certain that will only serve you better.

[her frustrated sarcasm is her way of saying she's concerned, okay.]

[theguideless]

[rattled breathing, speeding up and halting as he holds it, reeling. AND ELLE FORGETS HOW TO HIT POST COMMENT A YEAR LATER]

[selfloyalty]

[WOW ELLE]

If you have no more to contribute other than carrying on, I believe this attempt at a discussion is over.

Goodbye Martin.

[DISCONNECTS THIS CONVERSATION LIKE A BOSS BITCH]
