FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Asher Hardie
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: How not to freeze to death: slankets
WHEN: Late Guardian
WHERE: Emprise du Lion
NOTES: Feel free to just come find him at any point, or back at Skyhold because he took a trip back to pick up letters ssh timelines shh

Right I'll get straight to the point: there's a lot of really mad wildlife in Emprise du Lion, and I do just mean the wildlife right now though why you'd want to live in a frozen shithole is beyond me, and it's cold, and I'm willing to bet not all of you are exactly used to this sort of thing.  So, for a reasonable price or deal unless we already worked something out, I've got bear and wolf pelt blankets.  Now Asher, I hear you ask, what's so special about these blankets, well the thing is, most people get rid of the head and have something that'd look nice spread on the floor but my blankets?  They have sleeves.  And hoods.  Bear and wolf hoods.  I think you see where I'm going with this, right?  I've got plenty of pelts and I expect I'll find more so if you want a blanket, let me know and I'll get it sorted.  Want a regular blanket?  Boring but you can get that too, or mittens for those long boring nights freezing your arse off on watch duty.  If you just want the pelt?  We can arrange that too and other giblets and what have you, say for instance you need bear balls for some potion or tonic, I won't judge.  

[Everyone has to have a hobby and he was raised not to be wasteful.]

Of course if you keep an eye out for the one and only Christine Delacroix, you won't have to take my word for it and she does a damn fine job modelling what's sure to be the latest in Orlesian winterwear. Unless you want to freeze and lose your bits and pieces to frostbite.

What's the price for an old friend?

1/2

[hlif]

A kiss.

[He’ll just let that one sit there for a while. Mal knows the kind of grin Asher’ll have on his face anyway.]

2/2

[hlif]

[And a little later:]

You know mates rates are always just having a proper drink with me, respectability gone and made you daft already?

[aintwejust]

[ Mal cracks a laugh at that- in far better spirits than when he'd last run into Asher. Prolly should apologize for that.

Nah.

That'll be what the drink's for. ]

I owe you a coupla pints if I'm remember'n correctly as it is.

[hlif]

[Yeah you were kind of a shit.

Missed out on his dad's homebrew. He went and bathed in it instead.]

Just a couple? You take a knock to the head or did your hand suck your brain out?

[aintwejust]

I got knocked about pretty good by a dragon, gimme a break.

[ A large, angry dragon. ]

[hlif]

So did I, my memory is as good as it ever was. This is all your-- your highfalutin stuff!

[Wow that was a terrible accent Asher.]

[aintwejust]

Well I don't got your thick Aavar skull now, do I? All soft and fragile like an egg, me, need to be handled all delicate-like.

[ He snorts a laugh. ]

Fine, I owe you plenty. Where we meet'n up?

[hlif]

Cutting me real deep here Mal, don't make me have to tell my grandfather you said something that to me, he's old but he could snap you like a wishbone.

[Asher's grandpa is a legend okay, he loves that dude.]

Depends - d'you want share of the homebrew I brought here or pisswater?

[aintwejust]

...A month. I owe ya drinks for a month, don't bring your foutu crazy Grandaddy into this.

[ The man's a bear. whether or not that's LITERAL Mal still can't say.

He's got his suspicions. ]

See'n as I'd like to not go blind sometime tonight...probably the pisswater. See'n as you'll bitch and moan about it be'n pisswater, looks like we're hav'n the homebrew.

[hlif]

Mal, my grandfather is a perfectly lovely man. He's very gentle, that's where I get it from and you know that well enough.

[More like a badger. Badgers are actually scarier, even Asher won't fuck with a badger, they'll fuck you right up.

But that's an old family secret, you don't talk about your badger in public.]

It's not actually my homebrew, it's dad's stuff, he just sent me up a whole bunch of cases and then the Templars tried to unload it so I took it back. Not having them drinking my dad's good beer.

[aintwejust]

...So I won't just be blind, I'll be blind and deaf.

[ With the ringing in his ears from those little lizards- it's a fair tempting deal. ]

Lemme know where to meet up with you; I'll bring some of that weird jerky you like.
