Which is a good bit. 

So it is.

They can spend a week or a week and a half clearing out the local area and solving miscellaneous problems they come across in between their research endeavors. Bellona and El get a little desynced during this period- it seems like El is experiencing more time passing on her end.

They're building up a good reputation for the Inquisition though, and by the end of it are being recognized rather than having to introduce themselves. They get a raven from Leliana saying that Cullen is dispatching more forces to the area, and Bellona's group can return to Haven for rest and resupply, if they wish. (Reading between the lines, Leliana would also like to have a Talk about the mages that have started turning up...)

Sure, they'll be happy to return. (And Bellona is excellent at diplomacy, what can she say?)

(Getting de-synced from El only has her a little concerned...)

(El's making good progress on the array. And Ling is here now too. They might finish soon.)

(That's exciting, at least.)

Back on Thedas, Leliana would like an explanation of why, exactly, she's got a contingent of rebel mages camping outside the Chantry now, please.

Because Bellona's fundamentally charming and trustworthy as a person! 

Mm. And nothing to do with the Tevinter mage she's picked up as a companion, traveling and otherwise?

A result of her charm, and proof of her trustworthiness to fellow mages?

"You," Leliana says, "are having entirely too much fun with this."

"I like the perks, what can I say."

"Perks, huh."

"Eliana is quite the gift."

"You're being safe, I hope?"

"I got the VD talk when I hit puberty, no worries."

"I suppose that's all right then."

Giggle! "What do you think of her?"

"She's dangerous. More than personally, politically too. A wildcard, but the Archon named her to the Magisterium himself, so none of her peers can get rid of her."

Thoughtful hum. "I don't know she's all that interested in politics - she's interested in knowledge, but... I think she'd like a nice, stable world where she can be a librarian or something, honestly."

"We'd all like that, I think."

"Not everyone would."

"Everyone sensible."

"World could use more sensible people, then."

It is at this point a messenger bursts into the room, out of breath and panting about a resurgence of activity at the Breach.
