'There's something very wrong with this.'
[break][break]
That was at least the 12th time the thought crossed Canicus's mind since entering the keep. He'd been digging for ins to this place for weeks, spending far more time in Amaranthine than he'd originally planned purely out of stubbornness. He had so many questions to ask that he didn't trust others to answer with the right experience. The Warden Commander was young, but unique. Canicus had found himself getting so desperate for a meeting he'd put his loyalties on announcement, and even then, nothing. Until now of course, and the timing just seemed too convenient for comfort.
[break][break]
The mage stood in the great hall of the keep where he'd be led to on his arrival, close to the far walls as was his habit. He was anxious and fidgeting, and not at all the picture of Tevinter excesses; he only stopped twisting his hair around his fingers long enough to smooth out the wrinkles of his threadbare robes precisely three times before repeating the process. Whether this was a trap or an actual audience, he hoped it would happen sooner rather than later. He could only make and re-make mental lists of his questions so many times.

 [attr="class","dilyrics"]Run away, away with me. Lost souls and reverie.[attr="class","dilyric"]Running wild and running free. | [attr="class","dibody3"]Ah, this was stressful. The potential this situation had to go very wrong was far higher than he would've liked. Not only was someone from Tevinter on his lands, but they'd apparently been acting suspiciously. They weren't being very subtle for a spy, actively announcing they were loyal to Tevinter, but it didn't mean they didn't have something up their sleeve, so Varalas wasn't going to take unnecessary risks. He walked into the hall with daggers at his hips, making them seen before he sat down in his modest throne. For a few moments he just scrutinized the man. He certainly didn't look like what he expected him to. His clothes horribly worn and he seemed a perfect representation of anxiety. He stuck to the walls, as well, while Varalas had expected him to be just a short distance in front of the throne. Was he here to try to convince Varalas that aiding Tevinter was the right thing to do? Was he going to try to appeal to his emotions? It's what he would do: Go to the person with some of the most influence in Ferelden and get them on your side. It didn't look like it would be that simple, though. Apparently he'd been in town for several weeks and petitioned for an audience before, but Varalas' senechel had denied it due to there being other more urgent requests.
"You've been trying to gain an audience with me. You've gone so far as to announce that your loyalties are with Tevinter, presumably just to get my attention, so—" He gestured vaguely around the room, "here you are. What do you want?"

Ah, there was nothing quite like being greeted by a heavily armed host. It was something Canicus’d grown accustom two over the past two years. He could never decide if he found it amusing or disheartening.
[break][break]
As a show of good faith, he left his staff where it was leaning against the wall not three feet from him. He hesitated to approach the throne at first – old habits die hard – but after the first few steps, adopted a sureness in his posture. It had not been an easy road, but he had learned a sort of confidence in his travels.
[break][break]
The mage stopped a respectful distance from the Warden. “That I am. My tactics were more… How to put it? Ah, unsophisticated, than what I would normally prefer.” Truthfully it almost made him cringe to think about. “If it gave cause for alarm, I apologize. I assure you I’m not here on official business.”

[attr="class","dilyrics"]Run away, away with me. Lost souls & reverie.[attr="class","dilyric"]Running wild and running free. | [attr="class","dibody3"]Canicus may have left his staff out of arm's reach, but Varalas didn't relax. He knew well that mages didn't technically need staves to cast magic. He wouldn't be caught off guard by a sudden spell. His hands stayed near his daggers, eyes following Canicus as he stepped forward and spoke. "Unsophisticated," Varalas frowned at the word, "is hardly the word I would use. And you didn't answer my question." His tone was cold and distrusting. "You've come into Ferelden land, my land when Tevinter has all but declared war on us and you very loudly state your allegiance to Tevinter. It sounds like a threat and no one here has time for bullshit games, so you're walking an incredibly thin line, boy. I ask again, what do you want?" Varalas had only the authority to expel him from his lands if need be. To expel him from Ferelden, he would have to petition Alistair.

“The Blight,” Canicus said bluntly. “I’m here because I wished to learn about the Blight.”
[break][break]
He should have expected this. The opposition he’d faced just getting here might have tipped him off a little better, but he’d been too excited by the prospect of new knowledge to pay it heed. Now he stood in the heart of a keep that, by the sound of its master, could turn dangerous for him at any turn. And of course, he’d left his staff unguarded. ’You idiot, Canicus.’
[break][break]
“Events recently past trouble me,” a little honesty couldn’t hurt. He hoped. “Some things should not have been possible, not without the aid of a great deal of… other resources. The only outlying factor was the Blight, and I want to know what about it made the impossible possible. Little that is helpful is written on it, and you have more experience with it than most.”
[break][break]
His rigid posture slackened just a tad in preemptive defeat. At best, he’d be thrown out. Cani shook his head, still unable to keep eye contact. “You have no reason to tell me a thing, I know. It’s impudent to come into someone’s land and demand answers. But I must learn what I can.”

[attr="class","dilyrics"]Run away, away with me. Lost souls & reverie.[attr="class","dilyric"]Running wild and running free. | [attr="class","dibody3"]"The blight?" Varalas was astonished, but it quickly turned into equally strong irritation, "You came and declared your loyalty to Tevinter so you could talk to be about the blight? Do you have any idea of the repercussions of your actions? The people here will see what you've done as a threat, one far too close to home. We're already in cold war with Tevinter and then you come along to scare everyone. Because the slavers your people have running down here wasn't enough, we had to get you.And you actually expect me to tell you about the blight?" Varalas laughed at Canicus, "Are you stupid? You must be, to think a shitty plan like this would work. Especially when this all really just sounds like you're the shittiest spy in Thedas, boy. What does Tevinter want with knowledge of the blight?"
This man was a fool. Did he never get past childhood naivety? Did he really think he'd get his questions answered after what he did? If guards hadn't brought him here, he wondered how long it would be before someone in Amarathine killed him in his sleep or violently chased him out. Anti-Tevinter feelings were running high already. Canicus wasn't helping it, either.
