Who?
[ she sounds like she just woke up, which is to say: vaguely annoyed and inclined to be difficult rather than think through to the answer on her own ]
Why?

[ Nell doesn't bother to switch the crystal off, and his unasked question will be answered by the sound of rustling sheets and hands being scrubbed over her face. ]
Probably. Makes more sense than wanting you for your scouting skills.

Of course. All sorts of lions are the size of rabbits.
I'm sure this is exactly the sort of brilliant insight the scouting head is counting on you to bring to the table.
Trying to gloat, I assume. Nobody's asked me to give advice.
Fire. I hear the winters here are miserable.
[ a pause, a sigh. she would prefer to still be asleep, but barring that yes, she would like to be actually helpful. ]
They've had rifters for years now and they've never thought to do that before? Make them wear gloves and dress normally, for a start.

[ Fire works.
Get it. ]
As I understand it, the prior strategy was to hide them in a remote mountain fortress when they weren't being used. Now they're wandering around a city being [ you know ] themselves.
I'll recommend gloves. I'll be sure they know it was your idea.

Ugh, no, don't tell them that.
[ She groans, a tired and exasperated sound not really directed at him. There's more rustling around, the soft thunk of a head settling back against a wall. ]
Alright, so are they doing something in particular to unnerve people here or is it just the fact that nobody has any idea what or how they are?

I heard about that. Was it definitely someone from the Inquisition? I thought maybe that was just a rumor.
It is, I think. But the Inquisition arrived with a dozen strange people with strange abilities, and within months a crater that had been there for six years turned into a forest overnight—
I heard it might be an elf. But that isn't what it looks like.
Gloves, though. You're onto something there.

I know you're making fun, but gloves might actually help. It's coming on winter, it wouldn't look strange. It will give people a chance to speak with them without being constantly distracted by their insane glowing hands.
It's like us carrying our staffs with us. When we have them, all they see is a mage and no matter what we do all they think about is all the terrible things they've been taught about mages. Leave them at home and suddenly we're people first.

Exactly. Why do you think I've been practicing staff-less magic?
