As far as I know, we aren't in the same world, or... realm, at all. Like the Fade.

[ Except, not the Fade. She smiles apologetically at the lack of a better explanation. ]

Some understand it better than I do. [ Robyn says, reasonably. ] It seems as if this is its own little... island, somehow. You can't walk too far from it, or even sail. You're only sent back to the middle by magic, or so they say.

[ No, not in Ferelden. Wonderland is another thing entirely, something totally foreign and strange, the likes of which even the most learned of mages and scholars might puzzle over. ]

Morrigan was here. [ She speaks suddenly, looking on ahead as they walk. ] She... didn't recognize me at all. Somehow, her memories of our travels during the Blight weren't the same as mine. It's why I thought you might not know me.

[ Maker, but it's such a relief that he does. The Warden peers almost sheepishly at him, then glances away again. ]

... I'm very glad that you do, though.

[fatherlesskind]

What?

[He almost trips over his own feet at that. They're in the Fade? Or something like it? How is that possible? How can she be so calm about it?

No, he needs to be calm too. Robyn had said it was like the Fade and that there weren't any demons here. He believed her - she'd been the one to break him free when he had been trapped in the Fade before so she had to know what she was talking about. But something like the Fade, even without demons was still worrying.

How did they get home? If they couldn't just walk or ride or take a ship then what would they do? What would happen with the Blight while they were gone? Would they still be able to stop it, like she'd been told they did? Maker this was confusing! And it just kept getting worse.]

Morrigan? Are you sure she wasn't just saying she didn't to.... I don't know, upset you maybe?

[She was an evil swamp witch after all. She'd do that sort of thing. Maybe.]

You're glad? I'm glad you still know me. I'd be lost if I had to figure this all out for myself!

[If Morrigan really could not know Robyn then the same could have gone for her and him. And he didn't think he'd believe any of what she was telling him if it wasn't coming from someone he already trusted. It was too crazy.]

[heroica]

Don't worry. [ She adds, quickly, sensing his concerns; after all, she'd had the same questions when she'd first arrived. ] They say that time back home stands still while we're here. It's almost like a dream, isn't it? So... the Blight will be there, waiting for us, when it's over.

[ SO REASSURING ]

Why would Morrigan want to upset me? [ Alistair pls ] No... I think she was serious. She said that the new Warden she remembers was a Dalish elf. Everything else was the same. It was more like I didn't fit into the story.

[ It bothers her, still. As if she's a piece to a puzzle, to some puzzle, but not the one she'd thought all along. ]

You would have been fine. [ Robyn smiles earnestly, gently nudging his arm. ] You've been without my wise guidance most of your life, you know.

[fatherlesskind]

Right. Like a dream. Except without the good bits. And with a Blight when we wake up.

[So actually yes, just like one of his less enjoyable dreams. Hurrah.]

Because she's evil. [Duh.] So she still remembered me and all the others?

[Having Morrigan forget him wouldn't be so bad. He could just pretend to have never met her then and they wouldn't ever have to talk. Ever. Really, why is Robyn upset by what was a stroke of good fortune?]

Yes, when I had other people telling me where to go and what to do. [Arl Eamon, the templar trainers, Duncan. He shrugs and smiles back. He knows what she means and, yes, he would have managed on his own since he'd have had no other choice. But it is handy having someone else who's been here a while to explain things.] Besides, it means you've done all the hard work and I get to just nod along while you tell me everything. Much easier!
