Sending Crystal

[circleprodigy]

FORM: Crystal
SENDER: Inessa Serra
RECIPIENT: Everyone
WHAT: Lesson offers, and a weekly field trip.
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: n/a

This is Warden Serra...or Inessa, as you prefer. Consider me inspired by Ciri; since the Inquisition is more settled in our new home, I plan to resume the classes I had offered in Skyhold. Namely, mabari combat training and alchemy in the form of potions and tonics. While I will eventually have a set schedule, I'll try to remain flexible for anyone who cannot join the offered times for whatever reason.

More relevantly for mages; I have been studying rift magic for some time and now feel confident enough to take on students. If you're interested, please inform me. I look forward to passing on what I have learned.

A final announcement, unrelated to classes; I know Kirkwall has been a drastic adjustment, for some more than others. I've had several express interest to me in making excursions outside city walls a regular event, so I extend my offer to anyone interested. Once a week, perhaps? It's nothing formal and there are no requirements...though an ability to tolerate dogs would be most helpful. [Insert a happy bark from nearby Garahel.] If pure idleness doesn't suit you and you need some way to justify it, there is always a need for local flora, for potions and requisitions. The assistance would be appreciated, I'm certain.

I like the ideas of walks outside the city, and turning them into gathering trips.

[A beat, and then there's a bit of teasing in his voice.]

We could see how long Garahel can sit.

[circleprodigy]

[Garahel's quick to respond with a soft whine and Inessa chuckles.]

When it's not required? Not long, I'm afraid. How can he sit still when there are so many things to sniff and people to play fetch with him? And a certain cat's company to enjoy, after all.

[justice_is_blond]

And here I thought he was a good boy.

[Yeah, he's going to tease the dog. It was nice when his life didn't involve constantly being surrounded by dogs, but he can deal. At least he has his cat.]

I suppose I can deal with a dog following along.

[circleprodigy]

[More whining. You're breaking his heart, Anders. Inessa appeases him with some petting.]

I'll bring along plenty of distractions, so his pestering will be kept to a minimum. Though with so much to see, I suspect that won't be a pressing issue.

You're familiar with the area; I'll trust your sense on what paths are best sought or avoided.

[justice_is_blond]

[He snickers.]

I'm sure he'll be rather occupied, considering what I know of outside the walls.

Are we going toward the coast or the mountains? And would you prefer bandits or giant spiders? Granted, giant spiders are generally a guarantee everywhere in Kirkwall, but at least I've some idea of how to steer clear of the bandits.

[circleprodigy]

I'm willing to bet that everyone is tired of giant spiders at this point, so bandit avoidance it is.

[There's the sound of rustling paper on her end.]

More of the flora listed on the requisitions is likely to be found in the mountains, though when we're low on spindleweed, the coast is a better option.

[justice_is_blond]

Let me know when you've openings, and I'll find one that lines up with mine. This will be lovely, Inessa.

[circleprodigy]

Agreed, and I certainly will.
