video; open to both courts

[The video feed shows Bethany in, what some might recognize, as Cothromach, though there are still effects of the previous attack and it's damn cold for anyone to be out and about.

However, it appears she's not alone. There's a small group organized to provide hot soup to people who are in need of something warm, as well as any blankets they managed to gather up for those who are lacking.]

I hope everyone is managing to keep warm. My name is Bethany Hawke, if we haven't met. I've been helping however I can here in Cothromach. If you're in trouble, please let me know so I or another can find you and help you. It doesn't take long for this weather to have an effect.

[A slight smile.]

Luckily, some of my magic has been returned to me, including a fire spell. It should come in handy if anyone needs to be warmed up quickly. Not to be cast on you, of course, but I think we could all do with a little thawing right about now.

[There's a soft knit of her brow.]

Yes. He was a Templar, once, but no more.

[She hesitates to tell Sansa how she met Cullen and the brief history she has with him. After all, it did not happen in his world.]

We come from the same world, but different versions of it.

[ -- oh, she is quick to frown. ]

Different versions? How can that be possible?

Well, strange as it may sound, where I come from, I've met him before.

[She doesn't elaborate, but mage.. templar.. maybe Sansa can figure it out.]

But when I arrived here, he said he never met me. He said he met my brother, Carver. Where I come from, my brother was killed when my family escaped our home and moved to Kirkwall.

I've thought much about this. I suspect the reason Carver may have lived where Ser Cullen is from is because I was the one who died instead, protecting our mother as Carver did where I come from.

I have not asked Ser Cullen what I think to be true, though I'm not sure it really matters either way.

I never thought such differences could ever be...

[ possible. and now she wonders -- is there ever a place where her father lives, still? and her mother. her brother... ]

It seems bewildering.

It certainly is bewildering to me. I suppose the universe is a strange place. I can't really begin to understand it, though I studied magic for many years in the Circle.
