Hey so.
Ellie here. Or Baroness Ellie, I guess. I'm over at Spire 7, the one near Nimh Gleanne that looks like a sweet fortress. If we haven't met or you're new, consider this a "hey, hello, nice to meet". We don't really get out much since there's the whole "hey Seelie people are just right across the border don't let your guard down" thing. So it's not really a place that natives wanna go hang out at.
But if you ever wanna train for battle or check out some weapons, we got you covered there. No magic, nothing fancy, but we have some of the best damn troops in the army to teach you to shoot or stab shit. Or I guess if you're looking for a quieter get away. We won't turn anyone away.
[A beat as if she's going over the words in her head to make sure that she's covered everything. Introductions are awkward. Usually "hey, I'm Ellie" sufficed in the past but not here.]
Anyway, to the important stuff, there's a shrine for the Shuck at my spire. I'm gonna go up to the north to Quendi and try to bring offerings that have been gathering there since it was built. So if any of you guys who are helping out the Banshees have stuff to drop off, let me know and I'll bring it along with me. Shit seems like it's a big deal so I figure we gotta cover all our bases. Plus the Shuck wasn't too much of a dick to me the last time we met so maybe I'll manage to get there and not piss him off even more than he already is.
[Then there's a quiet pause as she bites her lip and runs a hand through her hair. Despite any position of status, it's still unkempt like she's been running through the woods for days. Then she drops her hands to her side with a long suffering sigh.]
Once this is all over. I'd like to make a formal request for someone to teach me how to swim so I don't sink like a fucking rock and die if I ever come across water. And so enemies don't use it against me and all that shit. [Clearly someone has said told her those exact words in order for her to bring this up.] Of course, I'll use all my powers as a Baroness to reward anyone who is willing to help. I'm sure we can find something that you want.
So uh, thanks, in advance. And don't respond with any snarky shit about it.

I can teach you once everything settles down, if you still need an instructor.
no subject
Thanks. For the offer, I mean.
no subject
And you're welcome...though you really don't have to thank me for just an offer. I am planning to return to Nimh Gleanne once all this is over, though. Swimming lessons will be a welcome change of pace from banshee helping and slaver hunting.
no subject
[A sigh.]
Yeah. It should be easier. Hopefully. I mean if you let me drown, Morla might totally fuck your shit up. So don't mess it up.
no subject
Well, I definitely hadn't been planning on letting you drown, but I'll keep that in mind anyway.
My name's Hawke, by the way.
no subject
And yeah, not drowning is definitely the goal here. So the focus is appreciated.
no subject
...This isn't relevant immediately, since we're not beginning for a while, but there are nearby bodies of water suitable for swimming lessons that aren't also inhabited by nymphs or kelpies or other creatures that would take offense to a little harmless splashing in the shallows, right?
no subject
You know that's a damn good question. A someone who usually keeps the hell away from bodies of water, I have no idea.
no subject
In that case, I'll ask around. If nothing else, there's probably some puddles we can use.
no subject
I'm brave enough for more than a puddle. At least a small pond.
no subject
Alright, at least a small pond. I'll keep an eye out.
