(Galadriel is fairly used to getting mail but she'll be a bit shocked to receive any in Thedas. For any notes, missives, letters, or other communications.)

Strange, perhaps I heard you wrongly. Did you not mention diagrams from a Knight Commander?

[She pauses and the silence is nothing if not polite and thoughtful.]

Of course, I agree. Demanding one prove their own identity is a foolish errand, and yet it is frequently required. Thedas has proved no exception to this.

Ah! But, I am not a writer, nor do I know the contents of your work, old or new, nor how directly they might concern me or my portrayal, if I have any at all. I shall not burden you with my suppositions, but I do hope I shall be granted a glace beforehand.

For curiosity's sake.

Once you have found your artist, please, call me hence. I shall do my utmost to be available.

Knight-Commander Norrington provided me, rather generously, with copies of the diagrams and notes that he has used with his men for training purposes. The better understanding of demons and how to fight them. The notion of including a portrait just sort of struck me as I was looking at them. A contrast. Demons can be defined and diagrammed and noted upon. People, on the whole, cannot.

( her laugh is brief. ) Well, not philosophically, I don't speak for physicians. But nobody in Orlais need be as acquainted with you as your personal healer. And people aren't puzzles to solve, or to slip into neat arrangement -

But a face. A face is something that a person has. Eyes are something that you can see yourself in.

( a diagram of a demon is to frighten and educate. a portrait of a woman can be empathised with. )
