A year away from Treviso, por el Hacedor! That must have been a hard contract. I'm glad to see you back and in one piece, then. Your Talon must be pleased. *she sits on a plush chair, her hands on her cane, fully waiting for a briefing on his travels*
Well enough for a short visit to the Diamond, thank you. I don't recall seeing you around the last time. Tell me, are you one of Andarateia's new recruits or did we just never met before?
Buenos días, joven. Please don’t be nervous. I am no longer First Talon.
/Rests her hands on the head of her cane, almost smiling./
Why is everyone in Treviso talking about ducks? I thought the Crows ruled Antiva…

thank you so much ❤️ I certainly will
[Smiles rather fondly, grabbing one glass]
I’m glad to hear that. Shall you require more assistance, don’t doubt to contact the Talons. They’ll help in any way they can. Tevinter and its people deserve a brand new start, away from all the horrors.

So far so good! I’ve felt very welcomed in the community. Thank you!
[sits on a chair like she owns the place]
Masgister Pavus. It’ll be a pleasure, of course. How are things going in Minrathous?
[A small, fleeting smile curves her lips, just for a fraction of a second, her eyes full of pride]
I’ll send you what I have. You’ve done well. Hazme el favor, tell Andarateia to come see me. I wish to speak to her about her Crows.
[she nods slowly, ending the conversation]
Have you not learned a thing about these past years, boy? [her voice is stern as always but with a strange edge he can’t quite catch]
Get the others to listen to you. No one will bat an eye at him if he has the support of the Talons. He has two of you already, no? I bet you can get more.
[She scoffs]
I reckon that won’t be necessary… [there’s a hint of amusement in her voice]
Lucanis is still adapting. Do keep an eye on him, Viago. And on Illario too. I trust your judgement. And Teia’s.
[She looked back at him, a spark of fondness in her cold eyes]
She’s keeping an eye on him, then.
[She sighed]
I reckon three Talons agreeing is not something I’ve seen many times in my life. No has respondido. Is he trustworthy, Viago? [She asked again, lowering her voice]
Have I asked you if he was killed, Viago? [Her gaze is made of steel. Her hands tightened on her cane. She glanced out her window]
Is he trustworthy? What did the other Talons say?
[She narrows her steel gaze]
And you’ve taken care of him, I hope.
Who is this “exile” Teia’s Crows keep talking about, Viago? [asks directly, skipping all pleasantries]
Good evening, child.
[A hoarse voice answers from inside the office]
Come in.
I teached you better, Illario. [Stands up] Where are the Talons, child?
[Lifts an eyebrow, unimpressed] That’s the best lie you came up with? [sighs and shakes her head] Teia is too soft with you…
Illario… [hands tightening on the head of her cane. Studies him with a severe grimace] Hacedor, try not to embarrass yourself completely, boy. [speaks to Teigue] What were you saying about an Exile?
Well met, child. I see Viago is teaching his Fletchlings some manners at last.
Thank you for the advice, demon. I hope you are enjoying your freedom.
Retired, not gone. Not yet. Who is this exile you talk about, child?
My dear puppet! I hope for your own good that you mean to marry my good grandson.
Looks like you possess some kind of intelligence. Interesting.
Why is this puppet talking to me?
