[Seems only polite to him, to respond to this sort of thing. And though he can use the voice and text functions well enough, video remains his favorite.]
With the newest group of volunteers? Welcome, then.
[He gives a brief, bright smile to go with the greeting.]
Well met, Cassandra; I'm Vanyel, and I come from Tamriel. I've met one or two others who came here from Thedas, so far.
[ She preferred video as well. It was easiee to use, and he was pleasant to look at. Not that she was leering or anything, already her blush was beginning to fade as she regained her composure. She nodded to acknowledge his welcome. ]
Yes, I am fortunate enough to have friends here. I have not heard of Tamriel, is it anything like this place?
[She's fairly pleasant to look at herself - not that he's leering, either. He has better manners than than that.]
That is fortunate. [At the question, though, he shakes his head.] No, it's not very like Eudio at all. From all I've heard, I'd say it's more similar to Thedas.
It is a relief to hear that. I have met people from worlds drastically different from my own and it is difficult to imagine them. That is my fault, I have a poor imagination. [ Her smirk was slight, wry. ]
It boggles the mind, doesn't it? The sheer scope of the differences... I think even the most imaginative among us would need time to adjust. [His own answering grin is equally wry. Aesthete he may be, but 'imaginative' is not a descriptor he'd ever apply to himself.]
I've been here some months already, but I'll stay however much longer I need to.
[ She seemed even more relaxed with his answers. ]
Then I must thank you for not mocking me for being inexperienced with this... whatever it may be called. I will be honest, I did not expect you to be able to see my answer but now I am glad that you did.
You don't need to thank me for that. I'd be a hypocrite of the highest order if I were to mock you, considering how utterly lost I was when I first arrived - and still am, in some ways. Case in point: I've only used this program a handful of times before, and wasn't sure it could make a call like this.
[He doesn't seem to think so; he smiles gently and offers] Name aside, Den of Thieves is a decent enough place. Would you rather meet there, or walk together?
[ The name didn't phase her because there were so many places where she was from with names like that. Besides, she was just pleased he wanted to spend time with her. ]
[Well, why shouldn't he? She'll be the first one he's properly met from a world anything like his; even if she weren't, he's always in the market for new friends (with or without benefits).]
In that case, I can meet you in front of your apartment building. Shall we say seven o' clock?

No, I have... I just arrived. Recently. Very recently.
[ Yes, she was clearly embarrassed and red-cheeked but tried her best to recover. ]
My name is Cassandra Pentaghast, I come from a place called Thedas.
