Oh? Do you think we could do that? I'd love to, Hawke. It's been bothering me for a while now. I can't help but feel as though— as though CERES is doing what Orlais did to Elvhenan. It makes me feel.. a bit scared, truthfully.
[ she doesn't want to witness the diaspora of an entire culture of people. she doesn't want what happened to the elves to happen to the people of tellus. meanwhile, while hawke is getting turnt, merrill thoughtfully sips some tea, looking a little unsure as she does. ]
I can't say I do. I've heard that there are four, yes? Is there some way for me to uncover which I've been assigned to? A membership card, perhaps?
[ that's a bit of a heavy statement to drop on hawke there, merrill. what the fuck?? but hawke understands and is glad merrill can't see as she drags a hand over her face and lets out a quiet sigh. ]
That makes sense. It isn't the same though, Merrill. You do know that, right? But... I can do my best to see if we can help them. If they need it, that is.
[ and right uhm. hawke isn't actually sure either but here's a guess. ]
I don't know but we can visit the shrines? I imagine you're very connected to the Earth element though so let's go to that one first, see if we can talk to her. Perhaps she can confirm who you belong to.
I— Yes, of course. I'm the only elf here. The only I know of, at least.
[ and that was rather sobering. even with the whole universe thing, other humans could find some commonality in the culture other humans shared — merrill didn't get that here. ]
I would love to, Hawke. I'm certainly interested to see what she has to say. We could go in the next couple of day, if you'd accompany me.
[ that's a thing hawke is keenly aware of too and for a moment, she feels bad that she reminded merrill of the fact. she wonders what it must be like to be dalish but finally, truly be the only one of your kind. terrifying, most likely. ]
Of course. Just let me know when and I'll join you. I'll bring Garrett too, just in case we need a mabari to ah... claim a tree for us.
[ she's kidding, she's kidding. except she's not kidding -- garrett would totally pee on occidi. ]
