You've reached Chris Sonom, previously of Melvaunt Deismyr, please leave a message.
[He wishes in that moment that the calming magic he had wasn't temporary, a stop gap meant to allow a cooler head to emerge...it didn't do much for pain or sorrow when those things would still be there after. All he can do is hold Caleb close and hope it helps.
He can't promise he'll always be here, it's a hallow thing if he did, but he turns his face to kiss his hair.]
You don't need to be stronger right now, Cay. No one expects you to do anything but mourn and feel what you're feeling. I'll be strong for you until you want to stand again, okay?

[She looks offended by that, even though she realizes how good a threat it is. Her lips slowly press together into a pout.]
Fine. But unless you have some way to force a nap, it may end up with you and I on my couch drinking tea instead.
[It's not nearly as harsh a "threat" as his.]

[He leans in a bit, that imperious look cracking into a smile.]
Oh...but madam, what else is magic for?
[He didn't have the Sleep spell, but he could finagle something, he was sure. Even if it looked more like sparring with her into exhaustion.]
Good night, Amelia.

Good night, Amelia.
[Maybe it's the hour, or maybe the idea is that ridiculous, but that earns a hearty laugh as the rogue rolls her eyes.]
I'll answer that question after sleep. [Another small laugh as she takes a few steps back and heads toward her housing tower.] Good night, Chris.

Hey.
I had a situation go pretty wrong. I'll be okay. I don't want to worry you or have you think I don't trust you, but I need some space for a little while. Okay?

[Well, that's concerning.]
At least you're not putting me off anymore.
I don't doubt you trust me. I'd feel a bit better knowing how wrong, but I'll settle for what you need of me. If that's space, then done.
But know I'm going to ask you and check in with what you need when next you want to see me.

Yeah, it was brought to my attention that saying it is probably better than silence.
I'll let you know what I need if I know what I need. No promises on that.
And Chris?
I'll let you know what I need if I know what I need. No promises on that.
And Chris?
I can help you with it, whe time comes.
Yes, darling?
Yes, darling?
You're really sweet for also being an asshole.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're a jackass
But you're one of mine.
So you get both sides.
Do what you can to take care of yourself, for those who love you, if not yourself.

I got over the urge to wallow in misery and wait to die at least six months ago.
I'll talk to you again, soon.
I'll talk to you again, soon.
Can't have that, I'd never see you
We'll stick to sex magic, then
I've been thinking up quite a few things I'd like to try with you, since you're usually so game.
For example, most spells need a line of sight to be cast on a target. Does that mean it would work through video, do you think?
I like the idea of a well placed camera letting me have my way with you from afar, though there's a significant downside in my not being able to actually touch you.
[ Which is why he hadn't brought it up until now, but stupid o'clock on a sleepless night seems like the time. ]

Wouldn't you know if there were casualties?
[ Had he not seen so many farmers and fishermen and soforth fight for a cause, he might have asked about that, but the Inquisition was not just trained soldiers and the Blight came for everyone regardless of their ability to wield a blade. Sometimes people have to fight, training or not. It's a choice, and knowing Chris as well as he does, he doubts any of the forced he rallied were pressganged.
But not really knowing if there's casualties? That's an odd thing to say and he picks at it, tugging the thread.
He can ask about the dragon later when Chris isn't so clearly avoiding something. ]

[It's a slippery surface he's on and he knows there's a possibility he gets out of this smoothly and another (more likely) one where he ends up where Hawke's trying to get to anyway.]
I didn't have a chance to look around before I arrived here, I'd been locked in the fight, looking up wasn't wise at the time.
Besides, there's other leaders and healers on the field, I'm sure they did all they could.

Chris nods more to himself than in response. That was fair and probably all he could hope for. If it wasn't a dragon thing, perhaps it was breaking down. If it was...well, it's not much his problem now.
"I appreciate your considering the thought regardless. And the condolences. A good portion got evacuated and we've the resources to rebuild. Once the dragon's dead, I'm sure that's what they'll do." But... "You sound like a man speaking from a point of familiarity, not hypotheticals."

I see.
[ That all rings true, but he's still hiding something, and it feels important. But for how hard Chris is fighting him, maybe he should let it lie for time before asking again. He's not going to force Chris into facing something he's not ready for. ]
That's fair, battles like that are complete chaos, and you don't strike me as a sovereign who would lead from the safety of camp.
[ He gives a small and offers his hand out for the spyglass. ]
You wanted to see Kirkwall, didn't you?

Hey, dude, do you know any lawyers besides that crazy tiger woman? Asking for a friend.
Daphne?
[Crazy isn’t a term he’s heard applied to her before, but considering her connection to Jon, he’s not touching that right now.]
Caleb went to school to be one, though don’t know if he ever officially got there after arriving here. Think there’s a newer arrival too? Elle? Not spoken with her, though, just seems nice.
Don’t have mind to any others who are still here, though. Something wrong?

Yeah, I think that was her name. She's illegally threatening a friend of mine in his contract and has him all freaked out and is helping this douchebag drain his bank account.
I'll ask Caleb. I at least know him. It's bullshit, man.

Illegally? That doesn’t sound like her much, she was more a stickler for laws and lines when setting up my contract with Jon than even I would have asked for.
That’s usually the hill she dies on here. Do what you think best, but sounds like something amiss on some end if I’d a guess.
[Though, on her end or this ‘douchebag’ he couldn’t and wouldn’t guess.]
Out of curiosity, who’s the douchebag?

Out of curiosity, who’s the douchebag?
Yeah, illegally. A dominant can't stop another dominant from talking to his submissive. She's interfering with their contract. I saw it on the open network myself.
Some mage named Quentin.
Some mage named Quentin.
Ah. True, even if she were his lawyer, city law often overrules, though I imagine there might be some loopholes there.
Well, then. Noted on all counts. Sounds like a headache. Let me know if you need anything else?
Well, then. Noted on all counts. Sounds like a headache. Let me know if you need anything else?
We'll see. I'm trying to keep it on the up and up for now. I won't get dirty unless the douchebag does. In that case, I may ask for backup. Not sure what kind of magic he can do.
Sure, I can probably help with that. Have some nullification, worst case.
I'm not familiar with him myself, so got nothing to offer on that front. Don't think I've even got anyone involved with him to offer another route.
Just mind yourself, if he turns that magic on you, I might be able to fix or break anything he tries to do.

I don't think I do, either. We don't run in the same circles.
I will. This is a case where being an elite archer has its benefits.
[Even if it's just shooting a message arrow with an angry looking BACK OFF scrawled on the scroll.]
