If everyone could kindly ignore that Araceli and Lux seem to be coming from the opposite direction to pretty much everyone else - that is the distinctly not Skyhold direction, the 'hmmm, you came from the north didn't you?' direction - then that would be absolutely grand by her. Since she can't talk about where she's been. (Unless you're maybe Martel because certain men are a law unto themselves, or the Outsider who will probably just know whenever she gets back to Skyhold.) The fox is miserably slung over the saddle of a 'borrowed' horse when she meets up with the group, quite glad to be down at the first available opportunity. But he has wee little legs, and a horse has big legs, so y'know, you need to shut up and suffer the indignities Lux because there's a job to do and Ruby summoned your mistress.

At the inn, since Araceli doesn't have a ruse to keep up this time, she will quite happily show any serving girls who happen her way (it's Araceli Bonaventura so serving girls will always just happen her way, this is pretty much a universal constant) as she fans out a deck of cards. If anyone else is up for a game to settle themselves, she'll deal them in. Tonight's not about money, or learning tells, or getting information. It's just about relaxing. Incredible.

The booze is still really, really bad. But that's fine, guess who still has rum from Rivain in her pack. Maybe you can have some if you ask her very nicely. Since she kind of had the more chill journey, just a girl and her fox and a big dumb horse out of Tevinter that she will sell to some merchant since no, she doesn't want a horse, look at this stupid thing.
