[Was the Moira in need of a Frenchman throwing possible sass around today? No? Too bad. That is to say that Arno here has a question, and it's one that's been bugging him for quite some time now. Two years, to be exact.]

I have a question for you all, provided we're past the whole drama spectacle that's taken the ship by storm recently. [Said in a humorous tone, and he continues.] How many of you have been mistaken as coming from somewhere else?

For example, I come from Paris, France. However, in meeting other people from other universes, [And boy, that still sounds weird, even though it's a familiar concept to him now] I've been asked or even assumed that I'm from a place called Orlais, which resides in Thedas. I'd suspect it's mostly because of my accent and that I speak a similar language to those of the Orlesians- but I've never been to Orlais or even heard of it, save for my time before being taken here.

I suppose I'm asking out of curiosity. [That and him being asked so many times where he resides in Orlais. It gets old and really annoying after a while.] I can't be the only one who's had this, either here or back home.

A monster, naturally! Or, to put a finer point on it, I'm a very great skeleton!

[He's striking such a cool pose while he introduces himself. Shame all you get is rattling, Arno.]

Ah, well- you're the first monster who I've found to be incredibly polite in saying so. [He actually means that sincerely. The last monster he had to run alongside was a Dullahan, and that was NOT FUN.] But if you're a monster and a skeleton, I bet that makes for some interesting conversation.

Sometimes! It's amazing how much humans and other species have yet to learn about us.

Hey! You know what? Maybe I should start writing down some of the weirder questions I've been asked! I could put together some sort of educational booklet so people don't have to keep asking me how I eat or keep my bones together!

Unfortunately, at least in my case, people only know monsters as bad things.

[Arno actually stops at that and tries desperately to keep a straight face and even tone.] Actually? That sounds like a brilliant idea. I'm sure you can educate several people by doing so. And who knows? Maybe the questions will stop, or change into something different.

Really? You think so? Okay then, I'll do it!

Not that I mind being asked lots of questions, but maybe it'll help some humans be less scared of me and my brother.

[Because, yes, he's well aware that some people thing of monsters as Bad Things.]

I wish you the best, monsieur.

Your brother? Is he a monster as well?

[Arno, if he has a brother it PROBABLY IS MORE THAN LIKELY HE'S A MONSTER TOO. Frenchmen.]

Oh, yes! He's even a skeleton, too!

[You'd think he was being sarcastic, but he 100% means what he's saying.]

Though he's nowhere near as handsome as I am. Still, he manages to be cool in a very 'uncool' sort of way. Does that make sense?
