Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were tables and chairs set up all around the lawn. Some were in the sun, where folks could work on their tan while they ate, and some were in the shade where folks could stay cool and non-crispy.

All of the tables had some blue and gold glitter scattered across them, because there was always enough to go around. This school certainly was blesesed in all the right ways.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"I don't think she's figured out how to," Anders said, looking back to Cassandra. "We both sort of fell through portals to get here. But she left and came back, so it may not be far off."

And there was a cheery thought!

"Anyhow" -- he said, brightening -- "most people here don't care whether you have magic. It's fantastic not to have people afraid of you. I recommend it."

"Not at all?" And if Merrill sounded completely dumbfounded by this concept it was because she was. "You mean they don't have anything like Templars here, or the Circle? Though I think the Keeper would have mentioned it, if I had to keep a watch for that."

Someone had not yet had any lessons in how Keepers occasionally withheld information from their clans for dubious reasons.

"Is that why you came here, then?"

It was okay; Anders was still fairly dumbfounded by it himself.

"They honestly don't," he said. "I suppose the Troopers would come in if one of us started lighting people on fire for fun, but if we don't bother anyone they'll leave us alone. Amazing, isn't it? I didn't know about it when I came, but it's a nice benefit."

By way of explanation -- and because he liked to talk -- he added, "I escaped the Circle. To be honest, I didn't know where the portal would take me, but anyplace that wasn't Kinloch Hold sounded good. Your Keeper sent you? Do you think she knew it was mostly humans?"

He was surprised by that. From what he knew, Dalish kept their distance.
