[It's been some time since Anders arrived, though he's been keeping his head down for a few different reasons, at least a couple of them going by the names of Meredith and Sebastian. Scouting out areas and gathering herbs has kept him busy enough, all things considered, and given him some time to adjust as well. But unfortunately this place, wherever it is, is very different from anything he's used to.

The video clicks on clearly by accident after some time spent fumbling around, Anders unaware that he's broadcasting himself to everyone instead of just using text. He's looking quite a bit more battered than usual, his coat torn in a couple of places by what look like claws, feathers missing, and smudges of blood and grime on his face and neck. He's crouched low behind something, trying to keep still and out of sight while also using the odd device.]

[There's a snarl a little too close by and Anders curses, jumping up and bolting from his hiding place, a blast of ice magic fired awkwardly back at the enraged sabre-tooth behind him. He'd really rather not kill it, but he might not have many other options.]

I gave it back, you blighted beast! Your cub is fine, stop chasing me!

[Despite her body not working as it should, Meredith was starting to explore. She wasn't going to be held back by a mineral. Thus far she'd counted herself lucky that she hadn't had to deal with the apostate.

Hearing shouting coming from up ahead, echoing through the trees, Meredith drew her blade and moved forward in time to see the shouter casting ice back. Of course. It couldn't have been someone she wanted to help, or even someone who deserved help. It had to be a creature that would just as likely attack her as him, provoked by the apostate.]

You stole its cub.

[There were times she wasn't quite sure how the apostate had lived so long. Now was one of them. She readied her blade as the creature moved forward, risking one befuddled look at the apostate first.]

Do you actually think about things before you do them, or do you simply act and then watch to see how everything explodes?

What--

[Anders half-turns, staggering a step at the sound of the voice. Oh, it's exactly what he needs. The blighted Knight-Commander.]

What are you doing here?!

[intherite]

What am I doing here. Truly, apostate, is that the best that you can do? You have provoked something's wrath and now it is headed for myself as well, something that I am not pleased by.

[Really, if she booked it out of here, it might just mess with the apostate instead. That was getting more tempting by the minute.]

Stand your ground and focus on it. This is your doing, after all.

[magerights]

I was hoping not to kill it! [He snaps, and it's sort of tempting to run and hope that the creature goes after the Knight-Commander instead - one less templar and a good meal for the cat - but he knows that won't happen. Meredith would just butcher the poor animal and leave it's cubs defenceless.

So he stops, turning to face the rampaging creature and also trying to keep an eye on the templar.]
