[It takes some fumbling around, but eventually Anders thinks that he does have the strange magical amulet working like he was told that it would. Well, presuming that this isn't a strange plan to make him feel like a fool, that is. He does wonder that part a little as he clears his throat and offers a bright smile to whoever might be watching him.]

While I'm still rather new to this whole 'kidnapped from everything you know' bit and trying to get used to it all, one thing I can tell is when a healer might come in handy. Now I might be reading this wrong, but it seems like there's a bit of an illness going around, yes? I haven't had the chance to find out much more than that, but... I'd like to help, if I can.

[He shrugs and his smile edges just a little towards being nervous.]

I don't know what sorts of opinions people have on mages and magic here either, but hopefully no one's about to go running to the Chantry to turn me in? Or at least be the type to give a man a head start first, I hope.

[It feels strange to try and talk to something that can't answer so, with a sigh and a small amount of fumbling with the amulet, Anders manages to turn off the feed.]

Comments

[surgicalshot]

Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories or anything! I know about secrets. That's... I'm sorry. It must be really difficult, and you're really brave for doing it.

[electricitytrick]

[He snorts and shakes his head, readily denying that bravery had anything to do with it.] It's not bravery when you're not given a choice. I was conscripted into the Wardens. I could join them or be taken off by a crazed templar who had it in for me. Not exactly the best of options if you ask me.

True, it worked out in my favour this time, but it could have easily not.

[surgicalshot]

It still is! You could have given up, or... you know, run away, or something. But you chose a hard option, or so it seems. [He smiles.]

It's brave.

[electricitytrick]

I probably would have run away if I could. [Anders laughs awkwardly. He's not certain about being called brave for being conscripted.]

And sometimes I don't wonder if it might still be a better idea. Still, I suppose there's not much I can do about that now, is there? I can't really get much further away from the Wardens than here, and the parts of it still with me it isn't possible to escape from anyway. So I may as well just see what I can get up to here, yes?

[surgicalshot]

Oh, yes! You should do everything here that you can't do back home! [Cheerful.] Like... learn how to drive a car, and speak a different language, and... oh, maybe not the learn a different language part, but anything that you can't do back home. Something new, yes?

[electricitytrick]

I suppose that's one way to look at it! There's a lot of things I wouldn't be able to do in Ferelden really. It might be fun to try some of them!

[He grins and reaches out to drape his arm over the other man's shoulder.]

You're an all right guy, Kenzo! I hope we can see more of each other.

[surgicalshot]

[He laughs.] You're a pretty good guy, too! We should definitely make time to go get a beer or something. There's some places here that actually have good, German beer.

[electricitytrick]

Is German beer good then? Better than other kinds, I mean? Back home we'd have Ferelden ale, but I've been told you don't have anything from Thedas here, other than me and two elves.

[surgicalshot]

I don't... know what Ferelden ale is, but German beer is the best kind of beer in the world! Better then all the disgusting, watered down American and Canadian stuff.

[electricitytrick]

Hah, then we should definitely try it some time! I definitely won't say no to decent beer.

[Grinning, Anders pats Kenzo's shoulder.]

Well, I suppose I should get in contact with this other doctor, see if he's willing to make use of my considerable talents. Shall I see you later then?

[surgicalshot]

It sounds like it could be fun. And yes! I'll see you later.
