Well, being from the future, you must have so many answers. [ There's a twitch at a smile and she hums happily, shifting again to look at the scene. ]

Maker, there's so much to tell. [ Robyn laughs weakly, shaking her head at the thought of relaying every detail of her friends, of all the things that she would end up telling him if he let her go on and on. ] At least pick one of them, do me that kindness. You'll thank me when you've stop got ears that work.

[outofthebreach]

Tell me about Wynne?

[ He asks after a moment, the woman holding no small amount of curiosity for him, since he knew of her but had never gotten the opportunity to meet her in person. And never would, thanks to the disaster in the White Spire. Although Cole has spoken of her once or twice. At least he thinkshe has. To be honest, he's never entirely certain if he's hearing what Cole is actually saying or not, though he tries. ]

[heroica]

She was asked to take the position of First Enchanter, you know. [ Robyn speaks up right away, watching the mage from their short distance. ] But she refused it and ended up later at Ostagar. That's where I first met her, actually, before we ever reached Kinloch. She's always been so collected, kind and warm, but without any qualms in teasing us all. She always seems to know things, and not in the same way that Morrigan does, but- well, what I mean is, she's very perceptive, but discretely so.

[ And she'd lectured Robyn about entering into any kind of relationship with Alistair, but that isn't something she's about to bring up now. ]

She's got a strong sense of right and wrong and gives everything she has to reach those ends. In the Circle Tower, she was fearless and a very talented mage, of course. Wynne is a lot of things, all of them good.

[outofthebreach]

I've heard a great many things about her. She was well liked and respected. [ Brennan muses aloud as he studies the woman. He makes no mention of what had happened at the Spire, not wanting to tarnish her happy memories of the woman.

Instead he turns the conversation to the elf sitting across the fire from her, his face bearing very notable tattoos. ] This one is the Crow assassin, yes? The Antivan?

[heroica]

"Was?"

[ Oh. Her face falls a little, but it... makes sense enough. Ten years is a long time and Wynne hadn't been a young woman during the Blight. Still, Robyn is less enthusiastic than she might have been when she moves on to discuss the Antivan rogue, her mind still on the mage. ]

Ah- Yes, Zevran. Teryn Loghain sent him after us, but we were able to best him, and he was impressed enough to join our party. It was in defiance of both his contract on our lives and the Crows; he's a noble ally and has a very good heart. I'm not often grateful for death threats, but that one worked out just fine.

[ Beat. ] He also had a penchant for flirting with just about everyone.

[outofthebreach]

I meant in what I had heard back home. [ He's quick to offer although she's probably caught him out anyway. ] It's hard not to put that in the past tense when we're here now.

Funny how things like that work out. [ Brennan chuckles as he watches the elven rogue interact a moment. ] We had business with him, briefly. I've never met him in person, but he contacted us once. He feared he'd accidentally offed one of Leliana's agents, not realizing who the man worked for and assuming the worst. His letters didn't go into a great amount of details, but he seemed to be having some difficulty with the Crows. Leliana arranged assistance for him to get out of the Free Marches, if I recall.

[heroica]

I... yes, that makes sense.

[ Though it does make her wonder how all of her friends are faring, at least the ones she hasn't heard so much about from the others. ]

The Crows came after him once they realized what he'd done. But, I think he found our company somehow more agreeable and wouldn't return. [ She seems a little more somber, watching Zevran. ] I'm not sure how friendly he was with the other assassins, but we had to fight against them to move on our way. I can't imagine it was easy.

[ Robyn still isn't entirely sure why he'd given it all up to join them on their hopeless quest. ]

[outofthebreach]

I imagine it's hard not to find your company more agreeable than the Crows. Not that I've had a lot of interaction with them personally, I merely know them by their reputation. Leliana, however. I think she took a bit of a fiendish delight in her agents outmaneuvering theirs a time or two, just for the sheer challenge of it. She's a bit terrifying, I hope you know.

[ He's grinning as he says it, his glance shifting to where the bard sat beside the fire. ]

[heroica]

Leliana? No, not at all! [ Robyn laughs, shaking her head and grinning, eyes also trained on the redhead nearby. ] She has her... past, her time as a bard, and I've no doubts on what she did then and must do as your Spymaster. But, she's incredibly sweet. Loving, generous, and...

[ The Warden tilts her head slightly, studying the other woman in her memory. ]

She's really special. [ She says finally, with warmth. ] Leliana taught me a lot about the world and about myself that I don't think I would have ever learned otherwise.
