Fic: Blood and Rhetoric 1

I've started writing a post-DA:A fic. Because it's not like I have enough to do already.

I am possessed of vague ambitions to make it a ten-year meanwhile, back in Ferelden to match DA2's happenings. This isn't likely, but if anyone'd like to beta or kick ideas (anthills?) over with me, I can't say I wouldn't appreciate it.

title: Blood and Rhetoric, Chapter 1.1
characters: Leonie Caron, for now. Potentially full cast.
rating: T.
words: c1000
exegesis: Courtesy of Orlesian politics, Leonie Caron is despatched to Ferelden after Kallian Tabris has dealt with the Architect and the Mother.
