[It pulls from him a soft snort of approval. A delicate, thready sort of sound.]

So you are trustworthy after all.

Of course the downside of that everyone else’s secrets are equally safe from me, but that’s a reality I can live with.

But what about you, my dear? Are you originally from Thedas— or one of our own kidnapped few?

[heirring]

You can hardly describe the act of falling through the rifts as kidnapping when it seems to be a largely random phenomenon and no one seems to have made the selection purposefully. [Snit, snit, snit. However—]

But yes. I am also a Rifter. We are in fact nearing the third anniversary of my arrival.

[illithidnapped]

I’ll take it up with the Maker when next we chat. That ought to settle the pesky little matter of semantics.

[Feather light tone, honey sweet— utterly teasing.]

Three years. How time flies.

And...what of your anchor? I’ve heard the things can turn quite ugly when they’ve a mind to.

[heirring]

If by ugly you mean developing a series of little talents such as closing rifts faster and creating defensive shields, then yes. It is very ugly indeed.

[If he's going to tease her, then there is no reason whatsoever not to insist on bragging.]

The reports of anchors doing serious injury to the individuals with then have been, frankly, somewhat few and far between. Which is not to say there is no danger. Only that in a time of war, the rate of the thing's deterioration is a somewhat lesser concert. Madame Baudin has had hers for even longer.

[illithidnapped]

Oh yes, of course. I was only inquiring out of worry, naturally, considering the possibility. Inherent concern for you.

It'd be a pity to make such a charming acquaintance only to lose it not long after.

[A lone beat, before:]

And— truth be told— I'm in terrible need of a friend, you know, being a solitary soul in a very unfamiliar world.

[heirring]

[Suspicious squint.]

Is that so? Well, perhaps you might tell me which division you have decided to join and I might recommend a few fast friends you might make within it. I would be most happy to organize a few introductions.
