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.

...You want to see me wearing it, is that it?

Oh, well if you wanted to show it off, feel free. Come to think of it I haven't seen you wear it.

I wear it inside my tent when I am cold. If you wish to see it, you will need to visit. I am not parading out in it.

Fair enough. I'll give you a heads up when I do that then. Do you bring it on missions, too?

No, I have not had need since I first received it in Emprise du Lion.

Guess we haven't gone anywhere too cold as of late. Makes sense.

[On a different note-]

You think this spa idea is a good one?

Oh, yes. I told Cyril as much. Our work is very stressful and we need opportunities such as this to relax.

Hm, yeah. I agree with that completely.

It sounds like a lot of people are for the idea... hopefully we can figure something out to make it happen.

I am sure people will volunteer to pitch in.

[ She's not going to offer foot massages, but it's a good idea to set up this spa. ]

I do not doubt the hot springs will become crowded when this spa opens.

Oh I'm certain they will. We'll have to figure out times and days that we're doing it so that others can enjoy the hot springs without much annoyance. That and most of us will be busy with other work... course that opens up getting jobs for people who need it.

I shall leave all that to you and Cyril. Let me know when it is ready?

Doing no work and taking all the profits?

[Sam gasps theatrically.]

I'll be sure to let you know what happens either way.

I have other things to do. Red lyrium research, remember?

[ She lets out a "hmmph" to his fake gasp. ]

Merci.

Remember you'll have to leave the research behind when you come for a soak and massage.

Oh, I know. It will be there waiting for me when I am done.

Then I guess I should get working on getting this to be a thing. I'll talk to you later, Christine.

Until later, Sam.
