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.

Did you say Christine?

[There's more than a bit of amusement in his voice when he asks. Wasn't fur a very Ferelden things?]

So this was why we needed all those bear and wolf pelts?

[arachnophobe]

So what you're telling me is that I can have a bear coat.

Hell yeah, I want a bear coat.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Oh my god someone get me a coin to flip so I can decide if bear or wolf is cooler. I mean like, bear's bigger, got more pelt, but a wolf's just cool. But is it douchebag cool?

[There are rummaging sounds. Other vague sounds. He's away for a little bit, enough to make one concerned he just...left the crystal.]

Tails means wolf so gimmie a wolf.

Though I can't see Christine wearing, like, a whole bear. She'd drown in it.

[dreadinquisitor]

How reasonable is reasonable?

[A bear pelt. It would be ridiculous. And perfect. He had to ask.]

[twelvelabours]

( a huff of quiet laughter. )

I'll trade you some Orlesian pastries for some of that Orlesian winterwear.

[ungovernable]

What are we considering a reasonable price or arrangement?

( benevenuta greatly approves. give her a bear!!!! )

[glandival]

If you can part with teeth and claws, I would use them in my crafting.

[ To the point, then, Sabine follows with; ]

I could gift you in return, with such things, or with fresh arrows.

[chainlightning]

Oh! I'd very much like one- um, what would you like for it?

[mythalenaste]

So it's a coat.

[unbrokenoath]

My own da is a merchant and I don't think I've ever heard a finer sales pitch, Asher.

[ She's smirking. Asher, you are an uncouth weirdo. Good thing you're cute. ]

What would you consider a reasonable price for such a fine blanket? Are you trading strictly in money, or can we work out a bartering system, here? I've probably got some odds and ends for you.

[ She snickers when she mentions odds and ends. Because. Subtle. ]

--Seriously, though, that sounds really neat. And warm.

[aintwejust]

What's the price for an old friend?
