[There is a distinct smashing of buttons from big, armored fingers. It causes the video feed to snap on. Alistair can be heard mumbling to himself, barely audible.]

What sort of---?

[He stops, mid sentence... Alistair stares at himself in the video reflection for a second, raising a hand to sweep a few stray hairs into place. He shrugs and begins

[Well, that warrants a sidelong glance from Fenris.]

I hardly think you broke it.

[It isn't a shriek, but a small noise does escape his throat as Alistair jumps around to find the voice who's speaking to him. He doesn't look down at the tablet, but rather is glancing around him quickly.]

What the-! Who's there!?

[doesnotbrood]

[A sigh.]

The location you're searching for is the device you thought was broken, when in reality you simply activated it.

[endtheblight]

[He leans down to inspect the tablet, seeing the Elf on the screen.]

How... did you get in there?

||Video||

[doesnotbrood]

[He narrows his eyes at the man on the other end of the device.]

You can't be serious. [A sigh.] Well, I know one person who never runs the risk of outwitting me.

I don't know how it works, but the device you're currents staring at allows for communication between the prisoners here. They call this place the Underworld. Unpleasant would be an understatement.

Tch... lovely welcome party.

...you said prisoners?

[doesnotbrood]

Did you expect floral arrangements and confetti to welcome you to indentured servitude?

Re: ||Video||

[endtheblight]

To be honest? I did. Or at least someone a little more hospitable than the gentleman on that boat.

[He stops, shaking as if a chill ran up he side.]

Ugh, Noooo thank you.

||Video||

[doesnotbrood]

I thought not. There is no good new to be found here.

What is your name? I am called Fenris.

||Video||

[endtheblight]

Ah. Well, good to know.

It's Alistair. A pleasure, I'm sure.

[He holds out his hand to shake before realizing and quickly puts it down. He only looks mildly irritated, really!]

[doesnotbrood]

...Alistair? [He looks thoughtful.] Are you, by chance, a Grey Warden?

||Video||

[endtheblight]

When people ask that, it's not always because they're a fan.

||Video||

[doesnotbrood]

I don't pretend to know you, but that is confirmation enough.

||Video||

[endtheblight]

You've heard of me, then?

||Video||

[doesnotbrood]

I have, indeed. From a woman who calls herself Morrigan.

[endtheblight]

Ugh
