Inquisition, now that we're settled in Kirkwall I come to you with two very exciting propositions. As some of you know, I taught how to climb and run the walls and battlements of Skyhold, how to fall from such heights safely but alas this was not as it was at home when Skyhold was so contained. But here we are in Kirkwall! I can truly teach you how to leap from building to building if your desire and to dive into the waters from buildings and from the rigging of a ship. Of course, we start small so as not to injure your good self but if that prospect sounds intriguing, please come find me. I am Araceli Bonaventura, at your service. I'm either working at the Gallows or by the docks or you might happen to look up.

The second is a thing to celebrate and I could say that I do it as leader of the naval projects but truly? I do it as someone who loves cooking and seafood, to finally be back by the water after so long removed from it. Tell me, Inquisition, what are your favourite seafood dishes? Your favourite meals from Antiva or Rivain or places such as that? Because I thought it might be an idea to have a cookout by the waves towards the end of the month, say, the twenty-second? Everyone is welcome if they are a fan of good food and good times among friends.

[Also it's her birthday but since they don't really do birthdays that way back home, what better thing to do than have a fun time with people that have all certainly earned it?]

I would be interested in such lessons - I would not necessarily need to start quite so small, if you would not mind the lend of a horse for me to demonstrate why.

[youwonscience]

I don't think I'm qualified for jumping off of buildings, but seafood is the best. I mean, I haven't had enough Antivan food to have a specific opinion, but I'm definitely in to find out.

[thecookery]

I've a simple dish I learnt from an Antivan trader back a ways. All it needs is shrimp, a little veg, the right herbs, and some wine, but I near never get to bloody make it.

[gatheringstorm]

You already know my weakness for paella, and especially how Tama makes it. I'll gladly help with that, too, but I only trust her or you to make it right.

[serannas]

Oh! I would love to learn all that!

[ Now that she's doing her best to avoid conflicts if she can. The little mage has several scars from encounters that weren't great, so she's adopting a more sneaky style to be of use to the Inquisition. ]

[crowncitizen]

Wow, you can really do all of that? [Insert some kind of parkour joke here.] I mean, I can run and climb, but to jump between buildings? Sign me up!

[There's no possible way for this to end badly.]

If my friend Ignis was here, he could probably rattle off a ton of great seafood dishes. He could cook anything and make it delicious.

[provenforce]

I can climb, but I could probably use some help on the... jumping across distances. The water also poses a problem, for me.

I've... also never had seafood.

[theexile]

Your lessons sound interesting.

For your other question, I was often fond of smoked fish. It was nothing truly special and more for preservation but it was a fine treat when I was young.

[limier]

Orlais, of course — but we’ve a share of the sea ourselves, no? I have always been partial to fried fish bones. How did you acquire such curious skills?

[ sure sounds like BREAKING IN PLACES but you know, it takes all sorts ]

[alankazam]

I found a fish with eight legs. It's been dead a while, I think, but you can have it if you'd like.

[ hi araceli!! ]

[kartereo]

What kind of pre-training would you advise for this leaping from building to building thing? I'm interested, but expect I have catching up to do first.

[universal_charm]

It's only good if you respect the fish - simple spices, some butter, a bit of lemon. Delicious.

_{[ He's not even that much of a connoisseur, but living in San Fran he had gotten to taste some damn good sea food dishes, and he had opinions. ]}
