[ jim moves to sit next to her, considers how he wants to start; but decides, ultimately, to just get into it. ]

Venatori have a special interest in capturing anchor-bearers. [ so: not a rifter-specific danger, but natives are more likely to already know this than rifters. ] They want to experiment on people like us, figure out how we work, how the shard of Fade can be used. We have reason to believe they've been trying to find rifts, too, and grab people before we can. They're a large part of why it's important to be careful who knows about your anchor, outside of Kirkwall.

[ There's a brief flicker of expression on Glimmer's face--something unhappy and concerned. ]

...Oh. Experiment? That... doesn't sound good.

[acreage]

No, [ he agrees. ] That's why it's important every anchor-bearer understand the risks.

[sparklequeen]

Thank you.

[ Glimmer exhales softly, her brow furrowing. It's not as if this place has been all sunshine and daisies but this new misery added on top of everything feels... heavy. She swallows, then crosses her arms. ]

Can I ask you something?

[acreage]

[ he nods, says, ]

If I can answer, I will.

[ there's plenty he still doesn't know, after a year here, but he can try. it's what he's here for, right now. ]

[sparklequeen]

[ Glimmer fidgets, her brow furrows. ]

How long did it take you to... um. Get used to it here? I've been here half a year and I'm kind of settled but I still feel out of place half the time.
