Gracias for your gift, Señora Amsel, it was appreciated more than I can say.

Both. Better placed to become duellists; a blade is expensive, lessons moreso, and it takes hours of dedication that most do not have when they have to work to put food on the table and a roof over their head - all too often the choice is one or the other, not both. [Herian does not need to know what a pistol is, even still a touch rattled as she is she knows alarm bells when she hears them.] Nobles can sometimes take even a look in their direction as a slight upon their honour. Walking in their part of the city or the country can be taken as a challenge.

Too often, there is very little that is noble at all about nobles. [That is perhaps the most openly catty thing Araceli has said on the sending crystals, congratulations Herian.] I found myself saddened but unsurprised to see it repeated in Thedas.
