Thank you so much for joining in the giant snow battle. Your team was amazing.
As well as having a tab all organised at the tavern for when everyone is back from Orlais so you can all catch up and relax, please find enclosed an extra prize. It should keep you safe from any nasty chills, and give your attacks a little extra oomph. Everyone in your team is getting one, so you can always remember that you’re all a lot cooler than the rest of us. Sorry it took so long to get it to you, I needed to visit this place in Orlais to get it organised.
Stay awesome.
Best regards,
Ruby
( Enclosed there is a silver ring, with a yellow band running through it that looks like it could be crystal and catches the light.
The ring is cool to the touch, and provides a little boost to ice attacks, or adds an ice element to any weapon wielded while the ring is worn. The ring will also add some protection against cold attacks. It isn’t a super duper powerful ring, but it will give a bit of an edge in a fight, or just make any future snowballs hella hardcore. Damn, son. )
[--Said absently but not insincerely. More like ah, yes. This makes sense.]
But to business: mages. Should we require portraits to be submitted before judging? I think that would be unfair. Not everyone possesses the means by which to commission portraits of themselves.
What's more, sitting for portraits is terrible. I would not ask that of anyone.
[How do you do it, Val? Once again she is slightly flustered at his casual praise.]
Right portraits. [ record scratch ] Wait. Are you going to actually hold a beauty contest on mages? Err, no I wouldn't have people submit portraits. Also, I think a few people would object to being judged on their appearance. Perhaps have people send a missive addressed to you saying they're willing to participate and then meet with them on a one on one basis? Such an excellent researcher and scholar as you should have no difficulty taking notes and then comparing them in the end?
I don't know how good I am at convincing other people to do something. I certainly don't have your skill. If I didn't know better I'd begin to suspect you of blood magic.
People like to do things because I ask. I am very charming and convincing. Sometimes it amazes even me, especially with my knowledge of my lineage. A great deal of cousin-marrying.
But you must help me. You were the one that convinced me to embark upon this undertaking in the first place.

I mean, yes, of course. But the company is so lacking when it is only a crystal that you speak to.

I resign myself to poorer company if only so I can hear the sound of your voice. It is a small comfort. I have been thinking of mages.
no subject
Date: 2016-08-17 02:22 am (UTC)Well, I hope so. Currently, it's a lot of standing around and smiling at people, so they think I'm not a threat. What's this about mages?

Date: 2016-08-19 01:54 pm (UTC)An interesting point. And to it, I'll counter: would you nominate yourself?
no subject
Date: 2016-08-19 02:06 pm (UTC)I would if you asked me to.

That bodes very well for our contest. Though I think that you should lend your effort to convincing.
