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.

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.

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

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.

I might have to test that out for myself before we try it on anyone else. [He's teasing a bit, but the flirting is a little more muted when he knows he's somewhere that Nate can overhear.]

I've some witnesses that can attest to my abilities. But I can trade services for services, in a... therapeutic exchange.

Of course. I'm sure we can come up with something. That might be a cornerstone to what I'm trying to set up, that instead of charging we can exchange supplies or time. To limit the amount of resources we take from the Inquisition.

I don't think I've the time to work there as well, I'm sorry. I meant as an infrequent thing. But between healing, teaching, wardening, and my own study I've little time to spare.

Oh, that would work though. I'm not expecting people to donate all of their time, just... Helping where they can.

Don't plan any schedules around me is what I'm saying. It'll be a rare day I'll have time, but when I do, I could trade.

Of course. I might like to test what you can do for myself sooner rather than later.

Let's exchange a trade then, shall we?

I'd be more than happy to indulge in that.
