Is your mother a ready fainter? As a physician, surely you might seek a remedy —

[ light, teasing. ]

But you may have done well for the Marches; I can't say I recommend Orlais at the moment. Or the Anderfels. Or the Imperium, quite ever.

Oh, I doubt she would listen to me no matter my qualifications. I will always be her little girl.

[ Said airily. ]

I will take care and go where the Inquisition needs me, certainly.

The dreadful secret of this place is they haven't the first idea what they need,

[ after two years at it, that should probably be a 'we'. some days it is. some conversations. ]

Save more of it, and now. What do you intend they need from you?

I find that entirely unsurprising, honestly.

[ A sigh. ]

Surgery and medical care, I would imagine. That is why I'm here.

Then you've the freedom to decide,

[ complain though he might, the western approach had been — ultimately — something of a choice. ]

Where you might go, and how you might offer it.

Isn't that a novel thing?

[ Imagine, having the freedom to choose anything. ]

For now, I am content to practice here.

Have you an area of specialty?

[ look who totally didn't already get the deets from ilias ]

Surgery, in particular, but I am trained in other things.

You should know that's terribly mysterious.

I thought it a satisfying answer.

Other things are what a doctor says in a novel, before she reveals her secret history as a bard.

I can assure you, I have no talent in singing.

No one said you had to sing well.

[ isaac you've used that line before ]

Think of the novelty, a bard that couldn't sing. No one would suspect you.

Ah, perhaps I should recite verse instead. I could be the more poetic bard.

Are we not doing so now? Does the very lilt of poetry not grace my ears?

My voice is certainly soft enough.

True. I've always felt a bit bad for tall, strappingly rugged poets. I'm certain that's why I never made it.

I think you are not giving yourself enough credit. If I might engage in bardery I see no reason why you cannot.
