Well. That was... interesting, to say the least. I appreciate the assistance...

[Then he coughs. Hard. For a good minute or two before catching his breath. It's not a good-sounding cough.]

Did I miss anything horribly important?

Comments

[sanomorior]

[You missed an entire pigeon invasion, Anders. But that doesn't concern Sycora! What does concern her is a little something else...]

That's some cough you've got there.

[3wayforjustice]

[Anders wears feathers for an entire pigeon army on his own.]

I know. And I've tried everything to get rid of it...

[sanomorior]

Did you come in ill, or is this a new frog in your throat?

[3wayforjustice]

... How did you know?

[sanomorior]

[Oh, Anders. Sycora's just a little bit amused at your plight; forgive her.]

One, it's a figure of speech. Two, you're not the first one to get it.

I can help. Come see me at the infirmary.

[3wayforjustice]

I'm not...?

Where is the infirmary, exactly?

[sanomorior]

No. Those little bastards go after everyone they can.

What's your location?

[3wayforjustice]

Oh...?

It's... I'm on the third floor.

[sanomorior]

...of the barracks?

[3wayforjustice]

... Oh! Yes. Of the barracks.

[sanomorior]

Right.

[Instructions go here!]

And don't trip on the stairs down.

[You sound just a little addled, Anders.]

[3wayforjustice]

I won't trip, thank you.

[But he'll make his way on down there, coughing all the way.]

[sanomorior]

[She hears him before she sees him - that cough echoes - and so she waits at the door, leaning against the frame.

She first lays eyes on his feather mantle. That thing is ridiculous, but she withholds comments. Work before play, after all.]

Anders. Come in.

[Sycora stands up straight and motions for him to follow her in.]

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Nothing but a lot of pigeon droppings.

[3wayforjustice]

[Oh goddammit, now is not the time to call things 'pigeon shit'.]

Hawke, whether or not you found it stupid isn't the point. I'd like to know if something happened.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

There you go again putting words in my mouth.

[Really Anders how rude.]

A bunch of pigeons showed up. Some carried messages. Then they flew off. Nothing all that exciting.

[3wayforjustice]

Oh.

You were serious.

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not it can happen.

[3wayforjustice]

I'll believe it.

What sort of messages were these?

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

Small notes, and nothing I could make sense of.

[3wayforjustice]

What did they say?

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

"Light and water" and "behave yourself brother."

I've gotten more helpful messages from Sandal.

[3wayforjustice]

Since Sandal's tend to deal with enchantments, yes, I'd say that's a reasonable assessment.

There was no indication of where they'd come from?

[iwannabeadragon.livejournal.com]

That was the first thing I checked for. I'm not even sure where the pigeons came from to be honest.

[3wayforjustice]

No one thought to track them after they'd left?
