Hmm... not really, she was always too serious even for something like sweets. She'd have them with tea sometimes but it was my grandfather that had the big sweet tooth of the two.
[It takes a little while for her to respond. She's not really sure what to say to that or if she should ask more or what?? Talking to people is so weird and baffling.]
[ Isn't that the truth of the matter and talking about family? Even weirder. ]
My grandmother was a really serious woman. I can probably count on one hand the number times I ever saw her smile but my grandfather was the exact opposite. I guess we were as close as family could be.
[Avery gives a little hum to acknowledge that she heard her, but hesitates again on what she's supposed to say. Does she... Does she share something in return?]
[Parents who died in Denerim about 11 years ago? Now let's do some math and see if we can't figure out this myster--Who am I kidding? It's totally obvious.]
Oh. Right.
[Okay, but what would a normal person do with this information? Talk about it?? ...nah, let's not.]
My mum's still there, in Denerim, if you're looking for a meal or something when you go. [A scoff.] She'd probably offer you my old bed for a while if you need it.
I might have to check in on that because I don't think I've slept in a bed in actual years. It doesn't beat getting away from all this insane bullshit for a little bit either.
The only beds they have are bunk beds, I know because I checked. I also don't have three people I trust not to steal my stuff to share a room with.
Besides the barracks are actually inside the fortress walls and we're not allowed to bunk up there. We have to keep to our shady little valley with all the other shady folk.
You know how it is. The First Warden has apparently taken over the Anderfels and ousted or killed the royal family with whatever Wardens were left in Weisshaupt. This was after one of our Commanders tried to summon a hoard of demons with blood magic and sacrifices.
[ The sigh she lets out is long and tired. ] And I don't think any of us are technically part of the Inquisition either.
And that means they have to build a place full of empty beds that you aren't allowed to use but that you can see from the bit of frozen rock you're sleeping on? Fuck that.
Somebody needs to talk to the Ambassador about this.
I'm sure they'll have something pretty to say about it all. There's a chance the big bad could control our minds which isn't a fun thought to try and fall asleep too when you got a group of Wardens sharing your bunkhouse.
I think this is just the easiest solution for everyone with the least mess.
