Hello, Luceti.

[The voice is unfamiliar to most, but despite that, it is surprisingly calm and even. Wynne isn't one to show a vulnerable side if she can help it; she spent a while studying the journal and its functions. Luckily she's a fast learner.]

I imagine I haven't met most of you yet. You may call me Wynne- a mage of Ferelden, if the name is

[Usually people freak out when they're first on the journals, but hey. That's just his experience.

And boy did he freak out.

He got better, at least!]

Uh... hi. I'm Lloyd-- a... warrior of Iselia.

[He sounds terribly awkward.]

[Wynne is entirely used to awkward children (because really, you're still a baby to her)., so when Lloyd answers, she only replied in that same calm, comforting tone.]

Thank you for your name, Lloyd, though I'm afraid I don't come from a land with an "Iselia". Care to tell me about it?

[She is the best old lady ever. This treatment is completely foreign to him. Raine is gentle or firm when needed, but she's not an old lady, and she's certainly not afraid to crack some skulls. Like Lloyd's.

He's not sure what to think.]

It's a village near the forest. The people who live there are mostly farmers-- or craftsmen, like my dad. It's not big or well-known, but it's home.

[Wynne would prefer not to use such corporeal "encouragement"; there are better ways to motivate a student. Of course, the desire to smack some lippy apprentices with the head of her staff could be a strong one indeed.

But Lloyd seemed like the sweet type.]

It sounds like a lovely village. I'll admit I haven't spent much of my life in the countryside, but I do remember that the scenery was beautiful.

But excuse me, you wouldn't want to listen to an old woman's stories. Have you adjusted well here, Lloyd?

[He is sweet. And also mouthy, as she will soon learn.]

Heh. A lot of people tend to overlook it, but it's special to me and my friends. Everyone needs a home, you know?

[Her question earns a thoughtful pause.] Yeah, I'm all right. I got here about two weeks ago. It's-- it's not the best situation to be in, but at least people are helpful. I think we have a chance to do something really meaningful if we all work together.

[Don't get mouthy to her, young man. B(]

A place to belong does seem to be one of the basic desires of humanity, no matter what world in which you live.

And I can certainly think of worse situations to be in. Considering the state my own home was in, this almost seems like a vacation.

[His voice softens a notch.] ... Yeah. It's really important.

[He doesn't elaborate, however.]

Things must be pretty bad if a prison is like a vacation... What happened?

A Blight, dear, though I hope for your sake you have no idea what that is.
