walking down the trousers of time

Ysalwen is standing by the fireplace, cloak in hand, half-turning to go out the back door and then turning back, scanning the crowd as if looking for something.

Or someone.

Liranan, too, is practically vibrating in place.

Taking cues from your person can be a difficult thing to bear, for a mabari.

He cannot make this better!

Cullen blinks.

And says, carefully: "I've never been there, either. To Orlais. Or the garage, or upstairs. Is it -- safe?"

Beat. "Well. Orlais we can leave off."

"...everything?" Cullen says, lost. "You mean -- truly? How do you find anything?"

"Yes!" Hastily. "Yes. I just -- wanted to know whether I should be armed." He gives her a sheepish smile. "Sorry."

"...I doubt a sword would help with that," Cullen manages.

...she's teasing him!

Cullen says, loftily, "You're thinking of a polearm."

A polearm, properly deployed, will hold up a bookshelf long enough for one to crawl out from under it.

"I'll follow you," Cullen says.

Much more cheerfully.

Cullen's voice is automatically hushed.

(As far as he's concerned, dramatic door-flinging is entirely warranted.)

"Do we -- where's the... thing that tells us things? Or can you show me things?"

"...something I'm likely to find useful?" he says, blankly. "I -- if I can be sure of browsing without getting permanently lost, I would like that. So perhaps the maps?"

What is this 'computer'? If there were anything else but an infinite library in front of him, Cullen would ask.
howtoactfereldan: (judge me whole)

That... tends to go in one ear and out the other, because this is --

He doesn't touch it. "Is this... some kind of -- magical equipment?"

The tablet. He means the tablet. It glows. And shows images. And responds to her touch.

"...could I get one?"

It would be useful. Very useful.

Ci barks, circling Liranan; that's a definite yes.

Cullen, meanwhile, is trying to process this.

"You're saying... I can have a summary of everything in the stores? And put it all side by side, and keep track of changes over the year?"

Cullen's eyes are gleaming. Ysalwen has created a spreadsheet monster.

"I think I have a new project," Cullen says.

He does not steeple his fingers. He sounds like he really wants to.

"In addition to catching up on recent developments in siege engines."
