A moment of respite

Alfred smiled warmly as the girl asked him a question. Questions about his accent weren't uncommon, he was used to it. He shook his head slightly at the comment about people fleeing the blights. Terrible things really, he might not have any love loss for Orlais. He didn't wish a blight on anyone. 

You hear correctly. Though I left quite a long time ago now. It feels like it's been many lifetimes since I last set eyes on Orlais. Not that there's anything wrong with it, mostly. I guess you could say I was disenfranchised in my younger days after the war with Ferelden. He paused and then continued. Lovely to meet you, I'm Alfred, Alfred Jucani. So are you here because of the blight? He asked.
