So this is Alistair speaking, you know, in case you somehow don't recognise the sound of my voice even though you're trying to talk to me. I'm not here or you'd be talking to me and not hearing this. You can leave me a message or share any juicy gossip or embarrassing secrets on this thing and I'll answer you or tell everyone I know when I find it. Maybe. Or maybe I won't because I don't want to talk to you and I'm really sitting here listening to you and laughing and just pretending not to be here, you'll never know! You should definitely share those embarrassing secrets though. I wouldn't tell everyone - just a few people and- *BEEP*

[ He does catch the slip, but doesn't say anything. The point of this was to be happy! To bring good news! Not be a Denny Downer. So, he'll just slide right on by that.

It does, however, make him smile to hear something like that. It's such an Alistair thing to say. ]

Thanks.

[ And though he says it with a bit of a laugh, he means it. Likely won't ever come to fruition, but it'd be nice. Being part of a griffon rider team might make the inevitable easier to take. ]

And no, I haven't. I— [ he hesitates, wondering if he should explain that he doesn't like Anders in the least, and he doesn't know Robyn at all and finds talking to her a bit difficult. In the end, he decides against it. ] –just thought you'd like to know.

[They can both dream of being part of a team of brave, griffon-riding Wardens. Who don't have to worry about dying young or being killed by darkspawn. While they're dreaming.]

I do! I mean, I'm glad you told me. [In case that wasn't already obvious.] You don't mind if I tell them myself, do you?

[Robyn at least will be just as excited as he was to hear the news. Although he can guess why Carver might not have shared it with them yet. Being thrown into a group of strangers, common ground or not, is a difficult thing to deal with. And on top of everything Carver has already had to deal with? He's not going to blame the man for needing some time to get comfortable around them all.]

[ Hey. Might as well dream big, right? ]

No, I don't mind.

[ Why would he? It's not like it's an exclusive secret or anything. ...he doesn't think. Well, it's not like it matters much either way, none of the current Wardens are from his life, anyway. ]

Well, that's really all I had. So. Glad to share some good news, at least.

[ There's an obvious pause while he figures out if he wants to leave it at that or continue. ]

I'll see you around?

Count on it.

[Carver is a Warden and a Ferelden and, based on a survey of others in Wonderland with both those characteristics, they're going to be friends. It's just a given. So he better get used to Alistair's presence as it's not going away in a hurry if he has anything to say about it.]
