[As soon as Anders is able and willing after their initial discussion, he fusses with his CALL device to hail Katherine via text: I'm ready, Commander. Where will we meet?

He's more than a little nervous, the circumstances being what they are, knowing her but not. But he's had some time to pick himself back up since first receiving this device, and as strange as all this is, Katherine seems genuine, and he's willing, eager, even, to give her a chance.]

[The fact that she isn't really his commander is hard to wrap her head around, but she takes it as a good sign that he calls her by rank anyway.]

If you haven't set your transport to take you anywhere else, you should still arrive in front of that tower in the City of Tomorrow. I'll meet you there, or wherever you're set to arrive, if that's all right.

[purramedic]

That is where I'll be, then.

[Shortly, he arrives as expected, and does his best not to get lost in the bustle of the city. He probably looks ridiculous in his robes compared to the residents of Tomorrow, but sticking out like a sore thumb will hopefully make him all that easier to find. As it is, he keeps an eye out for someone similarly displaced.]

[And she is. She may have some clothes from Tomorrow, but those aren't for wearing. Not yet. She wants to see how enchantment holds in synthetic fibers, if it can. So she's marked as Thedosian by her Circle robe, at least, to anyone who knows Thedas. Medieval supply pouch at her hip aside, it just looks like a dress to the uninformed. Though even if she wasn't, there was no way the staff at her back could go unnoticed. (It's the older style, the one with a blade more like a spearhead on the non-casting end. She can't bring herself to modify it, it was perfect for her just as found.)

Seeing Anders over the CALL device was one thing. Seeing him again in person is another matter entirely, and she can't help a warm smile, full of relief. She'd spent longer than she'd admit worrying about him, after all, feigning interest in only her other project to keep others from realizing her designs and branding her some sort of demon sympathizer. "Sympathy" would be right, but convincing them of its subject would be a hard battle to win.

The fact that he both knows her and not is what stays her hand before it can reach for his shoulder, nothing more than a twitch before she folds her hands before her, awkwardly polite. It's too familiar a gesture, but greeting him as if this was their first meeting seems too distant. How do you greet someone who is somehow both a complete friend and total stranger?]

Maker, but it's good to see you again, Anders. [She eases a bit, having at least said it.] I'm sorry, I know this must be so strange to you.
