Okay, real talk: is there really any point to ribbons besides being tied in hair? There are so many ribbons here. Like is the demand for ribbons so high that — [ Anything else she might have said about the supply and demand of ribbons is cut off by a woman shrieking Hey! Your dog just snatched my product! Five coppers or I call the city guard! ] Shit! Okay, fine, sorry. Here.

[ Into the crystal she hurriedly speaks: ] Hold that thought. [ And louder: ] Get back here you freaking embarrassment!

[ A few minutes later, she's back, sounding out of breath. ]

So now I own a ribbon with wolf spit on it. Guess I can make a collar out of it or something. But new question! I heard there was some skill you could learn about handling animals, and like, commanding them in battle and shit? I think it was called a Ranger skill? That sounds like what I need to get control of this public menace. Anyone know anything about it? Or about wolves raised by people? Oooor has one of those huge dogs that wouldn't mind a wolf playmate? I gotta get him to burn off this energy somehow.

[ After the grand chase, Tessa and her new pet are sitting on a crate on the docks, awaiting a boat back to the Gallows. The wolf pup is chewing on the end of a red, silk ribbon as Tessa looks like a new mother without enough sleep. ]

Greetings, Inquisition. It is truly a pleasure to be welcomed amongst your ranks, even in these strange times.

[ The voice is soft, formal, a touch accented - certainly not Ferelden by any stretch. Well educated, probably, at least from the intonation. ]

My name is Sidony Venaras, lately of Nevarra, and I have come to fill any gaps that you might have in your medical needs. [ And, quickly - ] Yes, I am well aware that there are magical means of healing, but magic cannot cure everything. A doctor can often be required. It wouldn't do to forget that.

[ She doesn't necessarily have anything against mages, exactly, but it might not seem that way. ]

If anyone can inform me of any healers or doctors I might confer with then I would appreciate it. You have my thanks in advance, and I appreciate the support should it be given.
