He nodded his head to her name and smiled. "Welcome to Vigil's keep; I'm sure you know already, but this is the home of Ferelden's Grey wardens, I'm going to guess, because your here you wish to join us." He said, but continued on. "I will not deny you the chance to try the joining, but I only ask you tell me your reasons before hand." He relaxed his position, before realizing that this would not be the place. "Forgive me, it has been to long, I'm not use to offering hospitality right away to new guests, I never have the chance to leave the throne room now a days, politics and all." He said with a laugh, and turned towards the courtyard. "Come, come, We will talk inside, where it's warm; and you can explain your desire to join the warden's in private" He said, though as he turned; a voice rang out, and a familiar one; Jake. He nodded his head at the man's question.
"Yes, actually, we've some troubling news, Things are getting worse down in Denerim, and I've been asked personally by our king; to help stabilize the situation; I'm only going to take a few wardens with me, the situation here is just as bad; but not because of." He paused slightly and shook his head. "Because mages, but because of politics and nobles that judge my rule to be...unjust." He chuckled at that statement. "We'll have to leave soon, and if you don't mind me asking, I'd like you to rally up five good warden's to take with us, while I talk to my new friend here."
He walked by patting the man on his armored shoulder, offering a friendly smile, "Do please join us after you've found our companions." as he waved Andra with him, The outside of the keep was not in it's best shape, but it still showed great condition, they had been rebuilding the places, and repairing damages around the keep, as well as repairing Amaranthine. Things were quite difficult being who, and what he was. He slowed his steps upon reaching the doors of the throne; his mind literally keeping his eyes frontwards to keep him from falling, instead of watching the progress of repairs or the people going on with their business. When he did reach the throne room, he turned his attention to the front, and to Andra. "So, now; do tell me why have you come to join the wardens?"
