[ Tabris squints at the camera, moving it back and forth until she's sure that she can be clearly seen. Strange magic, but she's getting used to it. ]

Okay, so. This one is for all of the nonhumans of us out there. Sorry, shems.

[ She's not sorry. ]

Alright, so, I don't know about you guys, but having a couple hundred prisoners who don't like imPorts made it profoundly clear that I have a big glowy sign over my head that says 'imPort'. Or, I guess the sign is on the side of my head, because. Pointy ears.

From what I can tell, this world only cranks out humans. Which--Andraste's flaming ass, it's weird. Why do they only have humans running around? Do you think they went and, like. Killed off everyone else? I wouldn't put it past them.

[ She pauses for a moment. ]

If I'm actually full of shit and there are some organically grown all natural nonhumans from this world, please direct me to them and I'll send them a gift basket in apology.

I hope by 'novel' you don't mean 'only good for manual labor, on or off their backs' because I got done with that whole deal a long time ago and just started killing the shems that tried it.

( margaux looks blank. what are you talking about, tabris, and what the fuck is a shem. )

Is that what the word means? This isn't my language. I mean to say, unusual.

[bloodshots]

I don't know, humans are weird. That's how we usually get treated, anyway.

[ Give her a minute, the gears are cranking. ]

--You're not from Thedas, are you? Shit. My bad.

Are elves really unusual in your world?

[indocile]

France, ( is what she not-unkindly supplies when tabris makes the connection. she is from france, whatever a thedas is. or what's left of it, anyway-- )

Everything magic is still coming back - we're coming back, but we were nearly gone, so ... ( a little shrug, one-shouldered; ) So they didn't know we existed. Most of them still don't. It isn't like this, there.

[bloodshots]

...Huh. [ It's an interested 'huh', because that sounds weird, but. Fascinating, in a way. Magic returning after being gone. ]

Well, I'm glad t' hear you're coming back. I hope you guys get treated with respect as you spread out. I've learned that killing people who treat you like crap works out pretty great, I recommend it.

[indocile]

( diplomatically: ) Not my approach, but - well, if it works, no?

( to a thedosian ear, margaux sounds orlesian, the longer she talks. )

Mostly my people keep to themselves. It's not hard to avoid humans.

[bloodshots]

[ Orlesians. But she is from a different world. How many Orlais can there possibly be? Is it a universal constant to inflict them upon all good people?? ]

Sounds like the Dalish. They live in the wilderness, roam around a lot. Usually steer clear of humans.

Are there any other races besides elves and humans?

[indocile]

Yes, some; like us, from the shadows. And magic returns to the humans, too. Some of them, not all, like always.

( opinion on that is mixed. she thinks it best; others do not necessarily agree with her. but margaux is used to being set slightly in opposition to her clan -

she misses them, but not so much she plans to return soon. )
