[ The elf on the camera is bristling, cast in the blue firelight of the Fire district. His hair is oddly bright white, as are the almost-glowing lines that trail down his chin and neck, and disappear into the collar of his armor. Over one shoulder is the absolutely massive hilt of a sword, which looks comically out of proportion with him. Fenris had finally figured his device out, but it involved a lot of making a fool of himself in front of the Kedan, which he does Not Look Pleased about.

The effect of his otherwise withering glare is somewhat undermined by the fact that he opens his mouth to speak but compulsively twitches his head to the side to stare over one shoulder for a few moments, paranoid about things lurking in the shadows. He wets his lips when he finally looks back, suspicion and unease written across his pointed features before he schools them into a sneer again. ]

I am not a mage-- [ he practically spits the word, what a pleasant first impression he's making here ] but even I can see that this is not the Fade. In Between, they say. Bah. What nonsense.

[ In fact while he's at it let him just stare distastefully down his nose at the thing in his hands. "Technology?" Unlikely. By its strange glow and stranger capabilities, it is totally obviously something far worse!! ] This place reeks of magic all the same. And I wonder who has suffered to make it so? Magic comes with a cost. It always comes with a cost.

Whoever did this will reap what they've sown. I should like to be as far away as I can be when that day comes.


[ooc: Please don't reply with text!! Fenris is illiterate and kinda ashamed about it, so he would just skip over text replies without saying anything in order to save face.]

[Is that alcohol? Lucky bastard.]

Well, whatever you are, I'm keeping an eye on you, so play nice. [He tosses a little, mocking salute at the camera. Hi, Fenris, nice to meet you, Dean's a dick.]

Video SCREECH DON'T TOUCH HIS NEW ELF, DEAN B(

[aenseidhe]

[ EXCUSE YOU, MIND IF HE CUTS IN ]

And I'll be keeping an eye on you in the meanwhile. Let's not forget the anthill conversation. [ Do you for srs think you can threaten an elf with homeboy anywhere in hearing range broski ]

Video GET OUT OF HERE IORVETH NOBODY WANTS YOUR COOTIES

[notamachine]

[What the hell it's like Dean is an magnet for non-human types or something] Let's not forget the time when I kicked your sorry ass with a handful of snow. [Yes, he's still counting that as a win, even if he did faceplant. Shh.] Besides, so long as your cousin over here keeps his nose clean, we're not gonna have any problems.

Video W/E U LOVE HIM

[aenseidhe]

[ SCREECH we don't talk about that, dean. that was a dark period in his life that he never wants to revisit. ] I don't recall it being so on sided. You seemed rather fond of the taste of snow for how long you spent face down in it. [ The most mature of conversations.

WOW THAT IS SO RACIST, THEY'RE NOT EVEN FROM THE SAME UNIVERSE, DEAN. ] The judge of that being you? [ Snort. ] He is not human, he does not need to live by human law, which you do not even qualify for in the first place.

Video

[gaudy]

[ uwu Hello again Iorveth ur the only one he can trust (that's racist Fenris) ] You know this one? [ normally he doesn't care or take personal offense in defense of elves but it's sort of hard not to when he's one of two in the whole dimension. ] ... He does not much tolerate our kind, I take it.

Video

[aenseidhe]

[ sup bb he's here fur u. it's cool, it's not racist when you say it ] I do. [ A short wry smirk. Omfg does he know Dean. And threatened so much violence on him, p much. BUT W/E HE STARTED IT OKAY. ] He'd happily see us lynched for what we are alone.

Video

[gaudy]

Well, it is at least familiar, I suppose. [ SUPER COMFORTING

actually it kind of is because the super polite Kedan are throwing him the hell off he's not used to not being sneered at ]

Video

[aenseidhe]

Refreshing, almost, to have one so openly hostile.

[ And just a slow smile, because maybe he's a lil bit cray and maybe he likes being cray at Dean/in his presence ] I like killing his kind best.

Video

[gaudy]

[ Well if Iorveth is crazy then Fenris is no better because he accidentally lets out a low chuckle at that. He just.

Sorta finds it attractive.

NOT HIS FAULT OK. He should hate Hawke and his veins full of magic, when when he comes back covered in the blood of Tevinter slavers Fenris just-

Ahem. ] I would imagine it to be satisfying.

Video

[aenseidhe]

[ Oh... smile. You're the first one okay with him violently murdering humans and it's pretty excellent.

fhjdksa fenris, bless ur brain. bless ur fucked up brain. ]

I find it relaxing. Therapeutic, even.

Video it's true he is my sweet darling

[notamachine]

[They are truly the most mature people on the turtle. He is also going to totally conveniently ignore the comment about being facedown in the snow because fuck you that never happened shut up]

How would you know, Ears? You're sure as hell not human.

Video :'3 he is super kawaii

[aenseidhe]

[ lolololok. ]

I know plenty about humans. I've had at least four times more experience with them than you, so I would, in fact, know much better than you would. [ And just not answering about the law enforcement thing because tbh it was just a guess. ]

Video I would pinch him if I valued my life less

[notamachine]

Four times more? You sure about that? [He scoffs. Iorveth you are not the only one who's been around the block a few times though that was a good guess on the law enforcement thing.

Hahaha. Dean. Law enforcement. Pfff.]

Video me too ;;

[aenseidhe]

Hm, perhaps three and some change. You appear around what would be 30s for humans. Granted, I'm not a great judge. [ Le shrug. He's not that worried about it. It's definitely a good deal over. ] Your people grow and expire too quickly to really notice the intricacies.

Video

[notamachine]

[Well, to be fair, Iorveth isn't wrong.] Well, you're right and you're wrong. I've sure as hell expired a couple times. [TRY 118.]

Video

[aenseidhe]

How is that? [ Srsly stop talking nonsense. ] You've died? [ STILL BEAT YOU ]

Video

[gaudy]

Keep your eyes to yourself. [ Damnit this isn't fair, he has always sucked at being socially acceptable and now Aveline isn't around to cover his ass. ]

Video

[notamachine]

Be good and I will. [No, that's a lie, he just won't be obvious about watching Fenris.]

Video

[gaudy]

[ Squinting!! ] And what is your idea of good, exactly?

Video

[notamachine]

[He'll see your squint and raise you a glower!] Not slaughtering people, that's a good start. No breaking kneecaps, no eating livers, no dragging people off to the Wild Hunt, no magic. Hell, I don't know what you people do. Just don't do it.

Video

[gaudy]

[ Fenris lets out a short bark of bitter laughter. Again he accuses of magic, and Fenris nearly bares his teeth in discontent. U need 2 go, Dean. ] And will you guarantee that none of your own kind do likewise, or is it only Elves that may be punished for their actions?

Video

[notamachine]

[Dean takes a minute to think back over his career. ...The Benders immediately come to mind--they may not have been monsters, but they were monsters all the same.] Nah. We go after our own, too, if we gotta.

Video

[gaudy]

[ Fenris narrows his eyes, judging Dean as hard as he possibly can. After a moment: ] Mm. When they do harm to us, or only when they are a danger to you and yours? [ Fenris only knows one human that gives half a crap when elves start turning up missing or dead, and he just assumes this guy isn't another Hawke. ]

Video

[notamachine]

I'm part of group B. It's a different crew that handles the first part. [That group would be the monsters themselves. The non-humans of Dean's world do a pretty good job exacting their own vengeance. That said...] Though I've been known to help them out from time to time.

Video

[gaudy]

[ Dismissively: ] I'll believe that when I see it.
