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.

That said, it is a good plan. People here could do with taking better care of themselves. Especially by relaxing.

I thought so. He thought I was just trying to get my hands on half naked men again, but most of the people interested are women.

[ She lets out a startled laugh, having not expected to hear such a thing. ]

Dare I say women are in more need of relaxation for having to put up with some of the men around here, or am I being unfair?

[He laughs]

Not at all. I can fully understand that. Dare I say it, we should give all of the women here a few days off.

That is generous of you. I may need someone to pull me away from my work, but even I can admit to needing time off.

You should take some time off.

[He heard himself being lovingly mocked over the stone and had to chime in. You aren't sorry at all, Christine.]

And I don't know what you're talking about. I'm always serious.

Serious and adorable.

I will accept these descriptions.

Ah, Sam. I can always count on you to come into the conversation when I mention your name.

[ She loves you, bro. ]

Seriously talented at blushing, perhaps.

I'm surprised you didn't say 'like a dog being called'.

[In good fun of course.]

... Yes, it seems I'm the best blusher around here.

I think we both know that I can no longer use dogs against you, in light of my recent acquisition.

[ Ponce the fluffy terror. ]

It is incredibly unfair.

[There's a small dramatic gasp on his side.]

Christine, are you turning into a dog person?

Actually I don't know. You are pretty good yourself. Back at Honey Badger Hold.

Certainly not! I simply mean whatever I say now is pointless because I am stuck with this dog.

[ There's a pause. ]

What are you implying?

It certainly does diminish whatever you say... are you sure?

[You can admit you like them to him.]

Oh, just that that man was certainly making your cheeks red.

Perhaps because I had been crying. Because we were attending a funeral. And he gave me a very important gift and said kind things.

[ Yeah. That's right. Bet you feel like a jerk now, Sam. ]

I remember this conversation being me suggesting you teach massage and you saying you would get all the muscular, beautiful men for yourself.

Oh hush.

I am just pointing out there is a rather reasonable explanation of why I would think of such things of you.

That and you do know me. Anyone who knows me should be able to put that together.

Very well at this point.

Also pointing out I wasn't thinking 'half-naked'.

Well, I nearly always am. The other times I'm thinking fully naked.

Never think in 'half clothed' or 'fully dressed'?

Exactly. That's boring. [It's hard to tell if he's joking or not.]

[It really is hard to tell.]

Never thought about what you could do to someone when they're wearing certain things?

Mm. That's a good point. It would depend on the outfit, wouldn't it?
