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.

In case it doesn't happen.

Private

[el_tybs]

That we can't get something like a spa going...?

[Or was Cyril referring to 'putting up with him'?]

private forever

[samahl]

Exactly. It's one thing to have people interested, another to find the space and supplies.

[Cyril was definitely referring to the spa, not anything to do with Sam, who he still adores even if he doesn't say it.]

[el_tybs]

[Cyril doesn't need to say it, actions were enough. He had just gotten concerned for a moment that Cyril was being self-conscience about them even after being together for a bit now.]

Well, from what we've seen so far, if there's enough interest there's a way to get it going. If there isn't enough space we can perhaps get something built.

[samahl]

Maybe.

I want to make sure everyone would be comfortable there, so we need space for the qunari.

[el_tybs]

That is pretty important when it comes to relaxing; having space. Are you thinking vaulted ceilings?

[samahl]

Well, I'm thinking whatever can be spared. We have a lot of people to house without the spa being a consideration.

[el_tybs]

Well if we can only use a part of the hot spring area, you could just have people soak while they wait for their turn? Names on a list?

[samahl]

That's a good point...

[el_tybs]

Just adding more 'silly' ideas to the pile.

[samahl]

You have to admit the idea of having a spa in the middle of where people are training for war is a little silly.

[el_tybs]

Considering that Skyhold has turned into a refugee camp as well as a place for training, a bit less so.

[samahl]

And those refugees deserve to relax just as much as the rest of us?

[el_tybs]

Well yes. Just saying it's not as silly as one might think.

[samahl]

I suppose I should learn to trust the ideas that I come up with when I'm with you. You are a very good muse.

[el_tybs]

I should add that to my list of skills I suppose. Mage, blacksmith, turns into dog, muse.

[samahl]

And I'll make a good trap maker of you yet.

[el_tybs]

After that you'll need to show me how to shoot a bow.

[samahl]

Hey I have to keep some of the talent for myself. [But he doesn't seem to actually mind that idea at all.]

[el_tybs]

Well that's why I'm asking you, because you're so talented. I'd definitely make it your while. [Pretty much anything that Cyril wants really.]

[samahl]

You can pay for each lesson with a kiss.

[el_tybs]

Just one kiss? [That is quite the bargain.]

And here I was thinking you'd ask for a kiss per arrow.

[samahl]

Nah, I can give you those extra kisses for free.

[el_tybs]

Now see if you're giving me kisses then I'm even more in debt. Perhaps a lesson for a massage?

[samahl]

I could do that too.
