Shigeru Miyata is absolutely one of the best here, I have to say.

[ Oh, what's that? Some hope in the middle of your...er, hope event? The Inquisitor seems to be feeling some positive emotion, at least, as she appears over the video feed and flashes the screen a cheeky grin. ]

And all the others who helped me handily, ha...to return to a better time in my life. Taako, Alphys, DiMA, and I'm sure there've been others. Hang on, now -

[ Ta-da! Cecily puts the device between her knees so she can show off two hands again, neither bearing the damning mark of the anchor, and both wiggling their fingers gleefully. ]

I don't want to think too much about how I've just gone through regrowing an arm, but I do want to say that I'm happy to announce we've no longer got an upcoming war problem as I am back to my original and terrible strength. So, I've got this parting gift for our friends the Null...

[ And she uses her two hands to flip off the camera with another big grin before she (admittedly, after fumbling somewhat) shuts off the recording. ]

Nice celebration.

Figured you'd approve.

Best to be to the point.

Do you think they received my message?

Deliver it in person. Be sure.

I will. I would hate to think that they would miss it after I put so much thought into it.

The only appropriate course of action after getting back a limb.

I'm sad I didn't think of it when I got my hand back.

There are always opportunities around here to lose a hand and grow it back, if you're really so torn up about it.

yeah, uh
hard pass, actually
losing my hand once was enough for me! 0/10 would not reccommend

so I'm glad you got yours back

You mean you didn't absolutely love it? Astounding Thank you. Joking aside, it's really a bloody miracle and I am glad for it. I was shit with a blade and I missed my bow.

[she cheers at the sight of Cecily's two arms. and two fingers flipping off the camera]

Fuck yeah! The Null ain't gonna know what hit 'em!

They usually don't. [ Hopefully? She snickers, though, clearly in good spirits. ] I appreciate the support, Laura.

That's 'cause you hit 'em with your arrows from like a couple hundred yards away. [and she grins because fuck yeah!] Hey, what're friends for?

You as well. You've gotten very good with that thing.

[ She's pleased to have been able to play any role at all in Laura's training. ]

For little, encouraging quips and aid on the battle, I s'pose. And other things, but those will do for now.

[Laura laughs cheerfully] I better be! Gotta fit in in your world, after all.

[because from the sounds of it, they'll need all hands on deck to deal with the whole impending doom thing]

Well, you know you can count on me for both. And whatever else you need.

You can fit in just fine without a bow. I'd say it's the minority who use them: most are just swinging around their swords.

[ Not a euphemism despite the implications. ]

And you me, should you need anything. There will be quite a lot of 'counting on' to come.

I know, it's just that I'd like to help. In any way I can. And swords. [she says with an exaggerated eye roll] Yeah, I'll bet they are.

[she takes it as a euphemism anyway]

No kidding. The next few months, I got a bad feeling about.

You help in a lot of ways. Give yourself at least some credit.

[ Or a lot! There are too many haughty and useless people in the world, and Laura isn't one of them. ]

It's better that way, really. Then you're prepared for anything that may come.

All right. [seriously] But when the time comes to take Solas down, don't count me out.

[so she wants to go after the Big Bad of all Big Bads. give her credit for that at least]

And there can be a whole helluvalot of anything between now and the Null.

I absolutely will not. To be honest, I think we'll need all the help we can get.

[ Gods live for a long time for a reason. ]

That's true. We'll make the most of that time for certain.

Good. I'm happy to help take that douchebag down.

[but everything dies eventually]

We'll have fun. And we'll probably have our heads fucked with but between that? We'll have fun.

We will. [ beat ] I'll be in touch about grabbing a drink later, if you're interested.

I'm absolutely interested in grabbing a drink. I'll keep an eye out.

[she doesn't know what upraised middle fingers mean, but]

I'm glad to see that you have two functional arms again.

I don't think you ever saw me with them. [ She'd vanished to return home around the time that the Warden first appeared, or so she thinks. ] I'm glad to see me with two arms again, too.

No, I don't believe so. [she assumed it happened in the line of duty and hadn't wanted to pry. such a thing would have been unbearably rude] Will you need assistance in training?

Me? No, but thank you. I've used a bow for years and I'm glad to be able to return to it.

[ Though she's glad, at least, for the chance to have gotten much better with her dagger. ]

Ah. Then, I suppose I'd be of little aid. Mother tried to teach me the bow, but I'm afraid I'm only fair at best. [she says the latter like it's a personal failure]

We've all got our strengths, and you're very good with your own weapons. I'd say you've got nothing to worry about.

I certainly hope I do not. What I have heard about these Null . . . is troubling.

That's putting it mildly.

Is it true that their lasers can reach from anywhere?

From anywhere? I doubt that. It sounds like an exaggeration.

[ ... ]

Though, I wouldn't test that.

No. It sounds as though fighting them in close quarters can be. Difficult.

To say the least. [ It'd been that that'd killed her. ] Do be careful, if you end up fighting them. And...you probably will, so. Be careful.

I would not be able to forgive myself if I didn't fight them. Though, I'll do my very best to be careful. You do the same.

Nice birds.

So, this whole arm regrowing thing. Is that normal around here? Can anyone do it?

Just out of curiousity.

Well, thank you. [ She winks, looking pleased. ] Ah, no, not that I know of. There's one individual here who managed to do that for me, somehow, though it did take...Maker. Four months?

[ Four and a half, really. ]

You can speak with him, though, if you do need a limb regrown. That's the Shigeru Miyata I was referring to.

That must've been a weird four months. So was it like a baby arm that grew into an adult arm, or more like a tree growing a branch?

I've got all my extremities at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind. You never know.

More like a tree, but thank you for the horrifying image.

[ Oh, no. Now she can't unsee it. ]

You really don't. We've got a war coming up, after all, and all bets are off for keeping your limbs.
