Marriage Planet

Stacy's voice came over the comm, blaring across the entire ship.

"Ohhh!" Alistair gaped in wonder at the view screen display of the planet, and pointed at it.

Asking no one in particular, but rather audible (after all, this is Alistair), he said, "Do you think Thedas looked like that?"

[kandrakar_heart]

"Probably," Will said, walking up towards the rather loud guy near him. He... obviously wasn't used to space. Then again, she wasn't either, but she had seen pictures of Earth from space before so it was less weird for her. "The colors might've been different depending on how your world's ground was though."

[veryshinyknight]

"Maybe more yellow. Ferelden seemed to have lots of yellow or brown roads. And fields." Though with the Darkspawn and the Blight, things had been turning more sickly. Alistair didn't mention that.

"Still, it's pretty!"

[kandrakar_heart]

Will smiled. "You have any green grass anywhere?" she asked. "The way I remember it, my world from the few photos of space I saw was a mix of green, brown, and blue."

[veryshinyknight]

"Redcliffe had a bit. That was where I grew up. Outside Lothering, and in the woods. And the Brecilian Forest," Alistair said, recounting some of the places he had been. Before he'd woken up here, in any case.

"Maybe Thedas was like that. We didn't have ships like Stacy."

[kandrakar_heart]

Will smiled. "I see. We didn't have many spaceships either, and most of them were not like Stacy at all, but we did have a few of them."

[veryshinyknight]

"I'm not sure I understand spaceships. I don't think we had those," Alistair admitted. Then again, he prided himself a bit for not immediately babbling on about the Fade or other things they did end up having.

"They sound like they're rather fascinating though. Stacy certainly is. So, what do you think is going on now? Besides a mission?" He's managed to stay out of them so far, but there's always a first time. This may be his.

[kandrakar_heart]

Will shrugged. "Well, for most of my world's history, we didn't have them either. It's nothing to really worry about. I've been to a few other worlds that didn't have them either, but I had to get to them through magic."

"As for what we're doing here... I have no clue. Sorry."

[veryshinyknight]

"Well, I suppose I should try and listen so I can find out. Though that may not help." He grinned at that.

"Magic? Are you a mage too? I know a few on the ship, but only Namira is from my world. Well, and Yve, but she's not a mage at all. A good fighter, though." Realizing he was babbling--again--he shut his mouth and smiled again.

[kandrakar_heart]

Will smiled. His babbling was a bit cute, actually. "Well, technically, yes. In the sense that my powers are fueled by magic, although I don't actually use spells."

[veryshinyknight]

"I'm a Templar. That means that I can negate magic, sometimes. But I usually have to think about it. And I can sort of tell who has it." Sometimes, to tell the truth, it was easier to negate magic than let it go. But Alistair really tried very hard not to do that sort of thing.

It made magic users very testy. Alistair didn't like testy people, or being on the end of someone's anger.

"I liked learning to be a Templar, but I'm not sure anyone knew exactly where our abilities came from." Not like the Grey Wardens or Mages.

[kandrakar_heart]

Will blinked. "I see. That's... interesting. Although if you don't know how your abilities work there could be some type of dark horrible secret about it..."

[veryshinyknight]

"Well, I was recruited to the Grey Wardens before I could be fully inducted. But that's all right, I guess. I was happier as a Grey Warden. Before all this happened." Which implied that he wasn't entirely happy now. It was true enough, after all.

"Just trying to make the best of things now. I really don't think I'm going to snap and do horrible things. To anyone." Alistair made a face at that.

[kandrakar_heart]

"I know how it is there, what with being happier before this," she said.

Then she blinked. "Who said you were going to snap?"

[veryshinyknight]

Alistair blinked, and then smiled. It was a very toothy grin.

"I was raised by dogs!" he exclaimed. "You know how that goes!" One got the impression he said that sort of thing often.

[kandrakar_heart]

Will blinked again. "Were they talking dogs?"
