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.

Oh, I'll see if he has. He can't hear the crystals, of course, so I'll bring it up in person.

Do you know how to make more?

I know a couple of simple recipes. The best stuff is usually harder to get and therefore more expensive, though. But still, simple is better than nothing.

I'd like to learn to make it so we don't have to use up your personal supply of the good stuff.

Fair enough, and I'll be happy to pass it on. The mountain air can get so dry; I don't know about Taas, but that makes the bases of my horns itch something fierce at times.

Hm. That's actually good to know to keep in mind if we do this.

Are there any other concerns that your people tend to have that would need to be addressed by a spa?

That's pretty much it, I think. Otherwise, we're like everyone else. As long as there's room enough for us to stretch out, we'll be fine.

That's good to keep in mind though. It need to be big enough for you to be comfortable.

I'd appreciate that. Which isn't to say that being a pillow for friends isn't allowed at all.

[He chuckles] I've noticed Taas makes a good pillow.
