[She can't bother with the text to talk program, so Nathaniel gets an angry voice in his phone.]
You know, suddenly I understand Anders a lot better. Because wow. I could get violent at a chantry right now. Or a Chantry brother. I'm going to punch him, Nate. I'm going to punch him right in his dumb pretty face and I'm going to tell him that maybe he should have welcomed me more fully!

[Her voice is pitched higher than normal, and it doesn't take much to figure she's already worked herself up over this.]
Told me that the Exalted March on the Dales sure was a pity, because maybe if they'd deigned themselves to welcoming this vicious savages a little more warmly they wouldn't have gone and marched on the humans--like that's what happened! Does he think I'm ignorant because I'm a city elf? That I don't care? If I had ink in my face would he have said that?! I can't--HhhhHHH I'm going to punch him!
[Of course, if she really were going to punch him, she would have already, and wouldn't have bothered to talk to Nathaniel over it.]

[There's a package left on the front step of Anders' and Nathaniel's house. A small brown paper sack containing a package of tea, a can of chicken noodle soup, a box of tissues, and a box of decongestant medicine. A torn-off piece of paper is inside, a short note written on it:]
In case you are still sick.
In case you are still sick.
Did the medicine help? There are so many different kinds. The lady at the shop tried to tell me the best one, but I think I asked too many questions.
[Nate should probably be more glad that Cole wasn't immediately nearby to hear all that.
Really, really glad.]
I wanted to make sure it would help. There are dozens of boxes that all claim to do different things. They don't even have Elfroot.

Good.
[The sickness that Nate fell ill with could have been so much more dangerous if they were back in Thedas.]
Then your health is improving? Your voice sounds... different.

That is good, too. I'll let you rest now.
[Don't want him to tire out his voice, after all.]
