( gervais isn't hard to find, when one sets out to look for him - 'tall, broad ginger orlesian that takes roughly seven years to get through a sentence' makes him rather difficult to miss. he looks up at the sound of another man's arrival; he pauses at his work, when he sees who it is.
he wouldn't have known anders on sight some weeks hence, but in even the short time he's been with the inquisition, this particular rebel mage looms large, occasionally in the same breath as a woman in whom he still takes some measure of pride. it does merit a pause. )
I, ah. ( he doesn't seem uncomfortable, nor uncertain of the words he stumbles over; measured, rather, wiping his hands clean with a cloth and straightening. ) I am, ah, rather, I was, was with the Spire. For, ah, for - for many, ah, years.
Not, ah, recently.
( it's hard but not impossible to be dry through his halting words. no one is recently from the spire, survivors scattered to the winds. or to here, as it turns out. he would like to think others live, elsewhere, as he did; he wonders how lucky they could possibly be. )
