doggish: that's a bit fucked up! (talk ⚔ and honestly)

[Good, he thinks to himself, his inner relief expressed only in the soft exhale he emits as the other elf finally sits. It would not have killed him to watch him disappear in the darkness, but he's glad he didn't. The man looks as though he could barely last a mile, never mind manage to make it all the way to Kirkwall even if he was left alone.

And ah, there it is . . . but how odd, for it sounds as though the rift forcibly plucked him from Tevinter to here. He believes him, but it's still odd.]


Well, you are in the Free Marches now. And while I will not say slavers do not prey here, your chances as an escaped slave are far better than they once were.

[He's already tossed food his way, but now Fenris reaches into his pack, digging until he can find a spare bit of cloth. That he offers more gently, holding it out instead of throwing it like a damned savage.]

For the blood, [he says, waving a hand over his own eye to demonstrate.]

And if your master is anything like mine was, it will take him some time before he begins to mount the hunt in earnest.

As for the magic under your skin . . . I have heard of its ilk, but I do not know enough about it to offer you any kind of answer. But it is because of that I am heading towards Kirkwall. Those rifts have been opening up everywhere for the past two years, [and he says it because he remembers what it is to be a slave and not know anything beyond the borders of your master's estates.] I have heard of a gathering of people who might have those self-same markings located in Kirkwall— an offshoot of a greater organization dedicated to battling the forces that first began planting all these rifts everywhere. If such a rumor is true, they might be able to guide you.

[But that's so much information. So then, not unkindly, he adds:]

If none of that makes sense, I will not fault you. It can be . . . overwhelming, these first few days.
