[ Elize picks up the pace when she sees Fenris and nearly walks right into him. He might notice she was about to lift her free arm up for a one armed hug, but she quickly backs off. Maybe Fenris isn't the hugging type...

She looks down, flustered, then back up with a smile. ]

It's good to see you, Fenris.

[wolfuncaged]

[He does notice, and as much as he genuinely cares about her, he's glad she pulls the hug away. He really, really isn't the hugging type. ]

It's good to see you too, Elize. I hope you have had a good day.

[princessia]

[ Yup, good she got the right impression that he isn't the hugging type. ]

It has been good! [ More like busy, but she doesn't want to sound like she's complaining. ] I've been working really hard!

[ Unlike Fenris, she works mostly during the day. Little girl has to sleep at night. Part-time modeling with Stefan and singing little songs on the street for tips. Magic shows, but she won't talk about that around Fenris. ]

[wolfuncaged]

You have? Very good. It's important to be self sufficient in places such as this. If this month has taught us anything, it is that we cannot entrust all our money on what Atroma provides for us.

[Not that Fenris trusted them with that in the first place. It's why he's still rich now. ]

[princessia]

I've been helping stock the Pathstone with emergency supplies, just in case.

[ Cassandra had told her similar during her shopping trip on the station. They can't always rely on Atroma. Elize spent enough on herself already, but she's saving up even more to support her ship.

She glances around. ]

Should we find somewhere to sit? ...Am I allowed on the Tourist?

[wolfuncaged]

That is a very wise decision.

[He's so proud. She's thinking smart.]

Of course, you're always more than welcome aboard the Tourist. You are my friend, and I am first mate. No one would be able to say otherwise.

[Other than Varric, but like he's going to refuse Elize in, come on. ]

[princessia]

[ She's trying to grow up, become stronger. She wants to make more people proud of her. And if she sees Cullen again, she wants to tell him how much she has grown. ]

First mate? Is that like second to captain?

[ Initially, she wasn't sure about visiting ever since Axel left the fleet. But expect more visits now, Fenris. ]

[wolfuncaged]

[He inclines his head. ]

Hm. I was made captain when Axel left, Varric took over. I would not have made a good captain.

[princessia]

I think you would be able to keep your crew in line.

[ She knows he can get rather scary when angry. They would have to listen to him... ]

[wolfuncaged]

No. I am no leader. It requires more than... shouting at them. Varric is a good leader, he will keep the crew safe and happy.

[Fenris knows he can barely look after HIMSELF, let alone a ship full of people. ]

[princessia]

That's true...

[ About requiring more than yelling at your crew. There's more qualities involved. Also, Varric is a familiar name. Jove mentioned him to her once. ]

It sounds like you know Varric very well. Are you friends?

[wolfuncaged]

[Oh look, a real smile. ]

We are. We have known one another for over a decade. He is a good man. Obnoxious, at times, but still one of the best people I have ever known.

[princessia]

Wow... that's a long time! That's great that you have someone like that for a captain.

[ His real smile is great. It even draws a small, natural smile out of her as well, like she's starting to slowly regain some of her happiness.

She bounds ahead a few steps, but doesn't wander off too far. She doesn't want to be the one heading into the Tourist first. ]

Mind leading the way, Fenris?

[wolfuncaged]

Hmm. Everyone is most fortunate that he is here.

[He's glad for that. It's been a difficult time for her, and she deserves some joy in her life again. He nods, starting to walk to the ship. ]

Certainly. Follow me.

[princessia]

[ Perhaps she'll get to meet this Varric someday. She follows, keeping close behind him. ]

I wonder what your room looks like. Do you decorate it?

[wolfuncaged]

No. I see no need to do so.

[Plus Varric won't let him keep dead bodies on the ship, so... ]

[princessia]

I think it's fun! It's a good way to pass the time.

[ And she doodles quite a bit to decorate her rooms with pictures. ]

[wolfuncaged]

...I suppose. If one is of an artistic bent. I am not, however.

[princessia]

What do you do on your free time then, Fenris?

[ When they're just drifting along space... ]

[wolfuncaged]

I sit quietly alone.

[It's his stock answer for this question, but he realises it's not quite enough. ]

I enjoy practising my reading.

[princessia]

[ No, that answer isn't enough. Not for Elize. She keeps staring at him until he gives his second answer. ]

Oh? In what language?

[wolfuncaged]

Tevene. It is my native tongue. I was fortunate to get a copy of a book when Atroma uploaded personal items on the network.

[princessia]

...Tevene? You're from Tevinter? Jove mentioned that place before.

[ Nothing more than that though. ]

[wolfuncaged]

I am. It...is not a pleasant place in our world. I do not live there any more.

[It's the Actual Worst.]

[princessia]

[ A lot of Thedas is unpleasant, judging by all that she has learned of it so far. Yet, she's probably still crazy enough to visit. ]

Kirkwall is your home now, right? [ From what she knows about Fenris, she refrains from asking further about Tevinter. ] How is it there?
