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.

I feel like we'd get a decent amount of participants. [ She never got into the archery thing, but punching? That's something she can do.]

I'm used to people asking. [There's no polite way, but points for trying.] I'm from a place called Storybrooke.

That has a whimsical ring to it, doesn't it? Is it as lovely as it sounds?

[He's never heard of a place called Storybrooke, so he's thinking Rifter, but he still doesn't want to flat out ask that. He doesn't want her to think he'd judge her for it. The opposite, really. He wants to learn whatever he can about Rifters and their homes.]

It has it's moments. Most of the time things are pretty intense.

[She still misses it. Good, bad, and ridiculously chaotic, it's the closest thing to a home she's had.]

Where are you from?

Thedas. I'm Dalish so there isn't one place in particular, though my Clan is based in the Free Marches.

I used to be from everywhere too, just - a less structured kind of thing.

[ No clan, no home base.]

I'm from two worlds, technically.

I'm sorry... How can someone be from two worlds?
