Greetings. [ Inhale, exhale. They still have time. ] For those of you I've yet to meet, my name is Robyn Cousland, one of the Grey Wardens of Ferelden. You don't have to know anything about the Order, but know that I have... some experience in leading others, and a great amount of exposure to war.
[ Between Ferelden's civil war and the Blight... it was a lot, she thinks. ]
I know that everyone here has their own strengths to share with others, so I thought that I might make an offer of my own. Since diplomacy has failed us, we must be ready for battle. I have experience creating traps, some basic poisons, and, perhaps most importantly, healing potions and poultices. I am a practiced archer, and I fight with my mabari - a war hound - at my side. If any of these things would be useful to you, I would be happy to give lessons for whichever of the above you would like to learn.
[ Her jaw is tight, her expression strained. The Warden sighs, dropping her gaze. ]
It sounds a bit - bleak, really, but I wanted to add that... you may want to think about the people and things most important to you, and the lengths to which you'd go to protect them. There may come a time when you have to place yourself in harm's way to keep them safe, and it's easier to be ready before that time comes.
[ Speaking from experience? Definitely. ]

[ She smiles faintly, then nods. ]
He is, though he's from ten years later than my time. Most people are from - later.
[ After her death, though they don't even remember that piece. ]

[She has that stretched out timeline, like it is.]
He certainly acts like it. Had some great ideas. You think Garrett could get organized enough to join? Every time I see him he's setting someone or himself on fire.
[video]
Has he set himself - or anything - on fire? I suppose that's the danger of using magic. [ She giggles, clearly fond of the man in question. ] I know that he would be an asset, though. He's a very capable person.

[They've tag-teamed on more than one occasion.]
I'll see how he feels about joining up. If he doesn't trust me, maybe Cullen can convince him. I need all the help I can get.
