[So it was the same clan. Interesting.

Fenris may never have been Merrill's biggest fan, but he learned to get along with her a little better, thanks to their shared world- being together through Exsilium and then here. He may not have really considered her a friend, but he'd at least learned to consider her someone worth knowing better. ]

Merrill is...fine. She was the last time I saw here, anyway. We cam across the clan a number of times.

[Before they uh...died horribly because his Hawke makes terrible decisions. ]

[reflectedblight]

[Relief is all she can feel for a moment. Marathari would never let anything happen to the clan, she was a good Keeper, but it was something else entirely to hear they were doing well.]

Good. I feared for Merrill.

[She'd always been more quiet and reserved, considered a little odd by the rest of the clan and making friends had been hard for her. Lark and Tamlen were the only ones who truly sought out her company, even Feneral mostly just hung around her because they did. With Tamlen and herself gone, she'd worried what might become of her friend.]

...we started off on the wrong foot. [Not that she was going to apologize, it was completely his fault, after all.] I am Lark Mahariel.

[wolfuncaged]

A wise decision on your part.

[If it hadn't been for Hawke, for the rest of their little gang, he was sure Merrill would have perished in the Alienage by now. Either from her own naivete or her blood magic, something would have happened and it would not have ended well for her.

He huffs in response, part sardonic, part genuinely amused. He doesn't apologise either, because of course he doesn't.]

Fenris.

[reflectedblight]

A pleasure, Fenris. For the most part. [A small smirk grows on her face.]

You are not Dalish, are you? Yet you carry interesting markings on your skin... [She leaves the question open, clearly hoping for an answer to be offered on it's own.]

[wolfuncaged]

No, I'm not Dalish.

[He manages to keep like 60% of his usual disgust out of his tone when he speaks about them. It's a pretty high level of control for him, really. He looks down at his arms, exhales slowly.]

They are lyrium brands. My former master had them carved into my skin. He wished to create a living weapon. For the most part, he succeeded.

[reflectedblight]

[She'd be impressed, if she knew. Instead she either doesn't hear or doesn't care about that remaining 40%. Instead, his words cause her own expression of disgust. Humans trying to own elves? Even the 'servants' Leliana had tried to convince her were happy that way had made her mad.

However, the word 'former' didn't escape her notice.]

I hope you made him pay for it.

[wolfuncaged]

[That response gains heavy approval from Fenris, even if he doesn't especially show it. ]

I did. He's dead now, by the power he placed within me.

[reflectedblight]

[There's heavy approval from Lark's end as well when he says that.]

Good. He deserved it.

[She doesn't need to know the details to feel that way. Anyone who did that to someone else deserved it, no matter their pieces. Especially those who dealt in slaves.]

[wolfuncaged]

He did. He cannot hurt anyone else.

[It wasn't really the closed door on his trauma Fenris hoped it would be, but it was something. ]
