Prospare; not a House name Calpernia was familiar with. Not that she’d have any reason to be, anyway–not unless they had dealings with Erasthenes in the past, which she doubts they did, or unless the rest of the family had pledged their allegiance with the Venatori, which she knows they have not.

Chrysaor speaks with a noble’s inflection–a voice kept clean and careful, locked away like fine china. She wonders if his family is important, but her curiosity is brief. It doesn’t matter. Regardless of his heritage, he’s part of the Venatori now.

❝She is a slave, then?❞

No irrelevant prying into his life. That’s good. He relaxes a bit. He appreciates the attention to the present, because he knows his family history is mostly useless, and digging in some places will just make him uncomfortable.

❝ Yes. Or -- she was when I knew her. She’s, uh, 5′7″, female, dark skin and hair, dark eyes, an- a mage, an elf.

Apologies for asking, Lady Calpernia, I’m just -- worried. ❞

❝ We write humorous literature in our offtime. What else are we supposed to do in a place like the Hissing Wastes? Have you ever been there?

Actually Astyria -- the other spellbinder, in my squad, -- wrote a very funny piece about Samson and our Venatori Commander’s hypothetical relationship-- ❞

"Stop telling the people in your squad that I carry boxes of animal crackers in my pouches for the Venatori. All of my snacks are gluten free."

❝ But you gave me--❞

"Stop telling the people in your squad that I write Old God fan fiction."

❝ Are you telling me you don’t? I wasn’t trying to spread rumors with that one-- ❞

"Stop telling the people in your squad that I personally inspect the buttocks quality of every gladiator that joins the Venatori."

❝ But if I told them you didn’t, I would be a liar. ❞

"Stop telling the people in your squad that I 'keep setting the war table on fire.' That was one time. You weren't even there."

❝ Please, everyone saw the smoke! We got sneezed on by the dragon outside.

Anyway, there’s much worse stories than that one flying around. Why not ream Jeron for the varghest thing instead? ❞

Was there a strange, twisted kind of benefit to Calpernia never knowing her own blood relatives? Was it better to never have, and just wonder, instead of have, like Chrysaor did, but still barely have them at all?

At least he’d had someone.

❝Very well.❞

❝I will tell my contacts in Minrathous to look into her. Is there–anything else I should know, Chrysaor?❞

❝ You could tell them to, uh -- start with Medusa Prospare’s transaction records -- from several years back. I can-- tell you where they’re kept. ❞

( he wasn’t sure whether or not bringing this to her was polite, but he did feel she would help -- he had that much trust. )

Not quite the request Calpernia had expected, given Chrysaor’s track record. It would be a simple enough task to ask of her contacts in the city back home, but her curiosity is piqued.

❝A relative?❞

Not quite. He clutches his staff, a gesture of anxiety.

❝ If she were... a relative, I wouldn’t be worried about her -- but she was kinder than any blood relation of mine, and I would like to see her safe. ❞

❝It depends on the favor. What do you need?❞

❝ I have a name I would like you to look into -- if... there’s time. Elysia. No surname -- a woman in... Minrathous, I think. I’m... not entirely sure. We lost contact, and I’m... concerned for her safety. ❞

❝ You-- don’t suppose I could ask you a favor, do you? ❞

-- It wasn’t part of the deep roads, not anymore. There was a cave-in blocking the end of the tunnel, preventing anything from getting in or out of the cave. Nevertheless, the dwarf-carved walls and columns preceding the cave-in were nearly perfectly preserved, even the signs still legible, if unreadable by language.

❝ This won’t be where the Darkspawn were coming from then, will it? ❞ He sighed, setting his pack down near the wall, ❝ Not in deep enough for side roads, and nothing’s getting past this. Merde, all that walking for nothing. ❞

☾: Dalish Elves

He’s never really met many actual dalish elves, he only really knows what’s written down about them, what he gets in letters from his sister in Fereldan, and what he’s heard about since he went south. From what he’s heard, he probably thinks the idea of trying to reclaim a lost culture is admirable. It’s what he’s trying to do too, isn’t it?

He does appreciate elfish a lot, though he only knows bits and pieces that have been in old books/on the ruins the Venatori have been studying.

✃: People of mixed blood

-- he would be considered one of those (as he’s elf-blooded) but I don’t think that overall he has any positive or negative opinions of them? No more or less than he does say, someone with brown hair or long fingernails?

it isn’t something that comes up very often anyway, as the Venatori don’t really give a shit and he has no plans to go back north again, so he doesn’t really have a solid opinion.

❝ Why is it that southern folk are always blaming us for their mistreatment of mages. ‘Oh, well if we didn’t do this, we’d end up like Tevinter!’ as if that’s not complete nonsense. Magic isn’t the problem in Tevinter, either. ❞
