[The feed is running, showing the side of Anders's robe. It can't be seen, but an obviously demonic voice can be heard, speaking casually like someone you'd have tea with.]

"Why do you refuse? I offer you not only a chance for freedom of this place, but the power to-"To what? To rid Thedas of the Templar Order? To ensure the freedom for every

Anders?

[See this? This is Marian's oh shit face. Bloody demons.]

Where are you?

[He nearly loses his footing when he hears that voice.]

Marian? [He ducks to avoid the demon's claw, running to pick up the device again. He's in between surprised and happy, but he goes for the latter. A fight with a pride demon makes it easier. He surrounds himself with a barrier to avoid the flames and speaks quickly before it dissipates.]

I'm just at the entrance of the forest. [He backs off as soon as the barrier disappears.] I'm sure the flames will make it obvious!

Hold on. I'll be right there.

[She kills the feed, because talking while running flat out isn't the most feasible thing in the world. Even with a spell of haste to speed her movements, she's relieved when she finally comes close enough to the forest to spot the demonic flames.]

[The demon stomps against the ground, sending Anders flying onto his back. He quickly recovers to casts cone of cold, temporary freezing the demon into place as he rolls away. He'd summon a firestorm if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't afford to have the forest burning more than it already is.]

[He tilts his head to the side. These weapons he knows well, this new force against them.]

And here I'd thought you already had.

[Only Fenris can make Anders B| even more during a fight with a demon. He doesn't reply, because he's quite busy right now. He's not really expecting help from the elf either.]

[He heaves a sigh, and, against his better judgement, actually continues the conversation.] What demons are they sending at us, if you've the time?

[The question nearly has Anders stumbling over, mouthing "if you've the time-!" He slams his staff to the ground as a glyph appears under the demon, temporary paralyzing it. He then raises his brow, looking at the other incredulously.] Really, Fenris? You really have to ask? [He holds the camera in front of him, showing the paralyzed pride demon with the glyph already fading. The camera turns back to Anders.]

Marian is on her way. [Hey, Fenris. You like Marian, right?] You can try to ask yourself another question. How many mages does it take to defeat a Pride Demon? [As the glyph disappears, Anders curses under his breath and drops the device, trying not-to-die.]

Anders-san?

A bit busy here! [Sorry, Minato. It's the most he can say right now with a big purple demon chasing him around a burning forest.]

[evokemydread]

Where are you right now?

Just outside of- agh! [And he is sent flying again from one of the demon's stomps. Maker, he hates it when they do that. He drops the device by the way, not making an attempt to grab it this time because surviving is his priority right now. But if Minato can look, burning trees would be a huge give away.]
