...sure, okay. She does that.

Very still.

....well she'll just cuddle her dog for a bit, not a lot else to do in here anyway.

He doesn't move for quite a while.

Soooooooo boooooooored.

She wonders if they're gonna starve to death in here now that the magister and everyone else in the house has apparently been killed by demons. Probably not, the demon did seem to think they could make it out once they woke up.

"Knock."

The door opens.

Fazil and Mahdi are standing there.

She sits up and waves. "Hi guys."

"You all right?"

"I think so. Super hungry. You guys okay?"

"A bit irritated," says Mahdi. 

"We found our gear, though, you can have something to eat."

"Cool. Thanks guys."

She pokes Hagan.

He'd sat up once they came in. "If there were people around I didn't want them to notice we were awake when not supposed to be."

"Makes sense. Let's eat and - figure out how to get back to Ferelden. How long would it take the carpet to cover - probably six hundred miles now?"

"A couple of days."

"Wow. Still wanna find the Tevinter Wardens, but we're gonna ask for a letter saying that Tevinter's fancyhats will take revenge on all who cross us and not for an actual escort."

"Will they do something about the assholes who arrested us or do we need to do that, too?"

"I have no idea how Tevinter's actual legal system works. We can ask the Wardens, but I'm betting they won't be a ton of help, on account of the only reason we're trusting them is that I've been told they're aggressively apolitical on all subjects that don't involve saving the world.

"I guess we did save all of their lives but I don't know that we have any way of proving this."

"We can come back for the people who arrested us after we deal with the blight," Fazil says. "That way we can take them home with us, which is the best way to handle them I think."

Nod.

"Wardens and then Ferelden it is. - Probably we stop by the Brecilian forest before Redcliffe, it's not on the way but we're enough faster than the people we're headed to that it's probably worth telling the Dalish about the Blight first."

"All right," says Fazil. "Anyone need healing -"

Headshake. "Just food."

So they eat.

Cool.

And then they can head out of the mansion and towards Minrathous proper. The Grey Warden base can be identified by the giant stone gryphon symbol over the doorway. The person at the door waves them in when he sees the crest.

     "What's going on?" he asks Draconis.

"Aria Tabris, Acting Warden Commander Ferelden," she says. "We have vital intelligence on the Blight and need to return to Ferelden as soon as possible. We can arrange our own transport, but we've already been interfered with once by corrupt Tevinter officials, and we would greatly appreciate both a letter of passage from your Warden Commander and Grey Warden reinforcements to assist us in repelling the Darkspawn horde. Can I speak to your superiors?"

     "Of course," says the warden at the door, to her, and not to Draconis. "Wait right here."

"Man, I like wardens," she says idly, while they wait.
