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*

I don't know, to be honest.

[ Of course there would have to be one after Duncan's death, and if they hadn't said that Alistair was to be king, she would have expected him to be in line for the position after Riordan. ]

I think that they must not have known... [ But, even as she says it, she isn't sure if the Inquisitor or the others had mentioned it or not. ] I can ask Brennan and see if he remembers.

Right, it's probably not important for him. Unless the Inquisition suddenly needed the Wardens support.

[Even with demons apparently on the loose he's not sure that would happen. The Wardens would fight to protect people but beyond providing extra soldiers there was little they'd be able to do that a force of Templars couldn't.]

Let me know what he says? If you get to ask him first.

[It would be good to know who might become the new Warden-Commander in advance. Even if it's just so he has some time to stop thinking of them as 'Duncan's replacement'.]

They... did mention the Wardens, I think. But I never did hear all of the details.

[ Something about the fortress, Adamant, and... she sensed there was a lot more to tell, and most of it not very good. It makes her uneasy, thinking of the possibilities, but "she" hadn't been said to be there, anyway, searching for a cure to the taint in the Deep Roads. ]

I- Oh, yes, I will. And I'll find out what the order has done to get involved with the future-Inquisition. I think we ought to know, even if it's only a possibility in our own futures.

Some warning for once would be nice.... even if it might not affect me. [Or affect him in different ways if he's no longer a Warden at the time.] Or you. Or our new Warden even.

[As she said, the things Brennan will know about might not happen to either of them. But knowing wouldn't hurt just in case they did. Where demons are concerned it's always better to be prepared.]

I'll tell you too if I hear anything. You both now.

[She's better acquainted with the Inquisitor than he is so it's unlikely he'll get anything she won't and once she's met Anders she'll presumably pass information directly to them both. But just in case.]

It is still our future, even if they don't know exactly how we fit into it. [ Or, even if they do know that piece, as it were. ] You really should speak with Brennan, too; he has a very good story about a dragon, at the very least. Though, I'm not sure how it compares with our experience looking for the Urn.

[ Her lip twitches up at a smile, though he can't see it. Do you remember the High Dragon, Alistair? Wasn't that fun?? ]

Of course. Be well, Alistair.

Nothing can compare to that mess.

[He'd really rather not remember that, thanks. The whole business with finding the Urn had been not fun even before someone decided it was a good idea to slay a dragon.]

...You too, Warden.

[And with that he'll end the call and go find something else to do while he stews over the conversation.]
