I suppose that is true enough, isn't it?

[ He looks back out to the stars for a moment, thoughtful. ]

If this place truly is what we're meant to believe, we're out of any of our own times. The thought, I will admit, is rather unsettling.

[ He's traveled through time before, it was less than fun. Seeing the future of what should pass if he fails? He certainly has motivation. ]

That much is probably true. Other details... more room for suspicion. But you can run into other people from home here, but from different points in the timeline.

[Among other complications.]

Or different timelines. You start getting used to it.

[neveragainsubmit]

I have yet to run into any of them, but I try to remain optimistic. Perhaps it is best that I don't.

[ There are only a few of them who could possibly enjoy this situation. It's better that they are safe at Skyhold- though there is still no evidence that time is truly interrupted. ]

[outstandingbalance]

All depends on the context. It's hard to hope too hard for people you know to join you in prison though, isn't it?

[The conversation seems to have turned in a bittersweet direction quickly. Natasha offers a sympathetic smile and tries to course correct.]

How are you finding it so far?

[neveragainsubmit]

As relieving as their presence would be, yes.

[ He considers the question with a glance around the bridge, then back out to the endless stars. ]

It is strange, but not terrible. All of this.. [ he makes a grand gesture to the ship, ] will take getting used to.

No one's going to try to rush you. Believe me, this is pretty shocking for most of us.

[Even those of them who came from more modern worlds.]

Only a few of us are from worlds with this kind of travel. And I know I'm not one of them.

[neveragainsubmit]

How long have you been stuck here?

[ It does put a rest to the worry that there was a need to adapt quickly. He does take most things in stride, but all of this technology is a little unnerving. ]

[outstandingbalance]

Eight or nine months, something like that.

[neveragainsubmit]

That's unfortunate, you have my sincerest apologies.

[outstandingbalance]

Don't be. I'm not. I'm not exactly happy about it, either, but... it just is what it is.

[neveragainsubmit]

That is true enough. We cannot help the situations that come to us sometimes, though we can curse it in the moment.

[outstandingbalance]

We can. I try not to waste the energy on it. [She offers a little bit of a smile, as much for the stars as her newest shipmate.] It's not all bad.
