Aneth ara, Inquisition.

I was thinking, how do you feel about coming up with more ways to relax? I know we have the tavern, which everyone enjoys to the fullest, and the hot spring which has so many uses, but Sam - the blacksmith one - [Not to be confused with the Hobbit one] and I were talking and he brought up that I used to give massages and how sometimes people need more ways to relax. We're all under a lot of stress and deserve time to unwind.

What I'm suggesting is a sort of... [he searches for the word] spa? Nothing like what you'll find in Val Royeaux, of course, we don't have the space or the resources for that, but I know how to make oils and things that help keep your skin healthy and we could use the hot springs and help one another by tending to each other...

Let me know if this sounds silly. Sam and I tend to come up with a lot of silly ideas when we're together.

[el_tybs]

I never have silly ideas. No idea what you're talking about.

[samahl]

You have plenty of silly ideas, putting up with me for one.

[el_tybs]

If that's the only one you can think of then I don't have any. I don't think that's a silly idea.

[petitchiot]

I certainly love the idea.

[ The smile is evident in her voice. A spa would be amazing right about now, something to take the edge off of this whole situation. It's been a month now but she's still uncomfortable not being back home. She doubts she'll ever be comfortable. ]

I would offer to help, if this comes together. I'm not a masseuse but I know enough.

[samahl]

None of us are professionals, but we could put something make shift together, I'd think, if enough liked the idea.

I'll keep you in mind if more people seem interested.

[petitchiot]

I'm sure others will, it's a lovely idea.

[ There's a pause, and she finally let's out an unusually soft laugh, nothing incredulous or wry about it. ]

I apologize for not introducing myself. I'm Delphine Cormier.

[gatheringstorm]

Hell, yes. Count me in.

[samahl]

Oh, I bet.

Hm, I'd have to learn a bit about how to properly care for horns. I could use that anyway, though, for Taas.

[gatheringstorm]

It's not hard, really. I can bring some horn balm and explain away. Thanks to a care package, I have plenty to go around so Taas can have some if he's run out.

[dalishious]

You could just ask me.

[sheriffing]

If it works for you, it's not silly.

I tend to relax by hitting things.

[Things, not people. Important thing to mention.]

[samahl]

That sounds like my brother. Have you met him?

[sheriffing]

That depends on who he is.

[laurenande]

This sounds excellent, Cyril. A hot spring is a boon but baths are truly a gift. Few things refresh the weary so well as warm water and scented oil.

[samahl]

I'd be happy to make you some even if the spa idea doesn't take off, my Lady.

[laurenande]

I will admit, had I known you made such things, I would have commissioned you long ago. It has been far too long since I've relaxed in a bath.

But surely your idea has been met with some enthusiasm?

[justice_is_blond]

It doesn't sound silly in the least. I'd enjoy visiting it. And there's ways to incorporate magic into a massage as well.

[samahl]

Oh, there is. That sounds like it would be lovely.

[justice_is_blond]

Fire and ice are excellent tools to deal with muscle aches. I'm more skilled with the former than the latter, but I can use both like that.

[aceso]

Sam, silly? That sounds about right.

[ Sorry, Sam, but Christine will lovingly mock you in public whenever she can. You'd do the same. ]

[samahl]

[He chuckles.] I know.

It's shockingly adorable.

[aceso]

That said, it is a good plan. People here could do with taking better care of themselves. Especially by relaxing.

[qunari]

Sam, huh?

You wouldn't have any horn balm by chance, would you?

[samahl]

That's right. [Hey it's someone close to Sam's ex. Awkward. Although the fact that Bull is a highly attractive qunari helps make it less so for Cy.]

And I am working on getting some! Korrin says she has a recipe that i can use to make some more as well.

You're The Iron Bull, aren't you? Would you have any other concerns that a spa should be able to handle? I wouldn't want it to be human and elf centric when we have such diversity here.

[qunari]

Yup. That'd be me. Been sparing with the stuff we got sent from Orlais but I could really use some more. Starting to run a little thin.

Hm. Not really sure. Outside of ritualistic stuff, we don't really invest a lot of attention in oils and stuff like that. Pretty sure there are some varieties of incense that are suppose to invoke a sense of 'inner peace' when you burn them. Your other clientele might find it helpful.
