[ 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?

[wolfuncaged]

As much as it can be, I suppose. It is my home simply because my family are there. Otherwise, it is a rather disgusting, festering city.

...But it has its charms.

[princessia]

[ She'll focus on the positive aspects for now. ]

Charms? Like what?

[wolfuncaged]

There is a good Tavern. It is also a fine city to simply...vanish into. Not many think to look for a person in Kirkwall.

[Because no one wants to go there. ]

It is a shame, what happens to it.

[princessia]

Oh...

[ Oh, taverns. Elize is too young to care about something like that. ]

What happens?

[wolfuncaged]

[And because Fenris has zero reason to hide this from anyone:]

Anders explodes the chantry and the city burns. He starts off the civil war that is ravaging the world while Jove is Inquisitor.

[princessia]

[ She can count on Fenris to never water anything down for her just because she's a child. Fortunately she never exchanged names with Anders and Cullen never gave a name when he mentioned the war between mages and templars. ]

...I heard about it from Cullen. And Jove is trying to make everything better, isn't she?
