Mm... that sounds annoying. I'm already clumsy enough without some fancy herb making it worse but I've tried things for sleeping. Didn't work because you know what's worse than thinking bad things? [ She pauses for a beat but whether Ciri paused to give him the chance to answer or because she needs to pause is up for debate. ] Dreaming about bad things. It's just bloody awful.

... Heh. If anyone had a third hand, I could see it being you but you'd truly listen to me ramble about thoughts of mine?

I can fix something for a dreamless sleep as well, but yes. I'd be willing to listen to you ramble. I've heard, and thought, a great many things. I can listen to more.

I mentioned before what we found in the Anderfels, yes? The Wardens and darkspawn that had been infected with red lyrium. I couldn't help wondering just what the purpose of doing something like that...

But then I remembered our mission before to Emprise du Lion and that cave which began to bother me even more.

It seems heartless, cruel, and useless.

[There's a great deal more that can be said about it, but she needs to unload so for a rare time Anders doesn't go off on a tangent or rant.]

Tell me about it. They were harvesting red lyrium from those people down there but we caught on because of the large number of disappearances. What if they decide to harvest it from darkspawn instead? They could harvest their red lyrium and we wouldn't be any the wiser because it's a safer alternative.

[ She huffs. ] Not that I'm complaining about the darkspawn being used but I can't see them rummaging around in the Deep Roads and wrangling them up. Just imagine if they could turn an infected Warden into a broodmother and spawn already infected darkspawn.

... They'd have this steady supply and wouldn't have to waste it repeatedly infecting individuals.

[justice_is_blond]

I can't tell if you're a fan of this idea or not. I'd personally prefer they have no means of gathering red lyrium, but it spreads and there doesn't seem to be a way to completely destroy it.

[He sighs.]

It's not going to stop spreading or be limited. And the sorts that go to harvest it... It's only going to go worse as time goes on.
