[ Something feels off about this time. The lack of the psychic connection, the absence of her fellow Travelers, and most importantly, the welcome package. It's all puzzling, but she's willing to put aside her confusion to switch on the video feed.

When the feed starts, it reveals a solemn looking young lady, holding herself as regally as possible. When she speaks, it is with deliberate politeness.]


Hello. This is the Lady Sansa Stark of Winterfell speaking. I seem to be your newest arrival. I must deliver my kindest thanks for the welcoming gifts, as well as the communication device. The materials inside proved to be most helpful.

I, however, am not quite sure what I am expected to do from here. I would be more than happy to assist in anyway I can, as it seems newcomers are expected to do. I would also like to get to know all of you.

Thank you for your time. [ She bows her head, then curtsies politely, and the feed finishes.]

I've done something similar before. [ It doesn't sound like he's demanding an explanation, but she figures she'll offer him one anyway. ]

It is a pleasure to meet you, your Grace. [ The bit about not knowing what to expect turns her stomach a little, because while being a Traveler had provided it's fair supply of horrors, at least she had known what was expected of her. ] Forgive me, but that sounds... too easy.

We've all been through things.

[ the scar on his face is evidence enough of having been through ordeals of his own. ]

It does. [ a chuckle, because sometimes things around here are far too quiet for a kidnapping situation. eight months into his stay, and that still bothers him. ] But easy doesn't mean it's quiet or safe. Fayren and Attleton are currently experiencing some... difficulties. You're better off sticking to the main city until those matters have been tended to.

I suppose so.

Thank you. I'll heed your warnings. What kind of...difficulties are we talking about? [ There was a time when she wouldn't have asked, but her time as a Traveler has shaped her enough to voice her curiosities. ] I have... someone I traveled with, before, who is here too, so I think I will be alright. Thank you for your advice.

Monsters. [ he hated how general the term seemed, but there didn't seem to be any other word for it. and refused to refer to the human-dragons as true dragons. ] Creatures who can shift between a human and dragon-like form have been terrorizing Fayren for quite some time. Their numbers have decreased significantly over the past month, but they haven't been completely eradicated. They've put targets not only on the heads of innocent human beings, but also on the native dragon population.

As for Attleton, a dangerous labyrinth has recently appeared within the city, full of dangerous creatures I've never seen before. Medusas and minotaurs?

[ he's been too busy protecting weiss from torchwick and with various matters in fayren to venture far enough into attleton to risk getting a glimpse of what one of these creatures may look like, so he's unable to give her a proper description. ]
