It has been a difficult few months for the Inquisition- terrible battles, dangerous missions, strange illnesses. The Healers are well overdue a moment of semi-organized rest and relaxation. Much as she had before on behalf of the mages nearly a year ago, Adelaide takes the time to arrange for said respite. The Orlesian healing tents have been cleared of the potions, bandages, and poultices in favor of chairs, cushions, and braziers. Lanterns and the odd throw of fur or knit wool warm the space. Having more time to settle in and become established- there is more room, more places to sit, more tables propped up for holding glasses and mugs. The space is open, warm, and inviting with an elegant assortment of copper mugs and porcelain cups set around flat side tables arranged with an assortment of teas, honey, and small pots of cubed sugar and carafes of cream bribed from the kitchen. To one side there are bottles of wine and a small keg or two of ale and mead, tankards and glasses waiting. There are dried fruits and hard cheeses, dried meat and hard crusted bread, butter and sausage and a few odd baked tarts here and there. Across the entrance to the tents there is a sign:

Must be a healer or a friend of a healer for entry. Unless urgent (imminent death) no patients will be taken at this time.

Tacked below was a list of rules:

NO WORKING
Tea and coffee are to the left, wine on the right, food in the center. Please keep things in their proper place.
Don't hog the wine
Don't hog the tea
Don't hog the coffee
Don't hog the food
Serve yourself and whoever else is waiting for a glass
If you finish a bottle open a new one, don't recork it for someone else to find
Brew a fresh pot of coffee or tea when you finish what is available
Clean up after yourselves

She doesn't complain as much about the 'no working' rules as she might've just a handful of months ago. While Amélie might not feel entirely at home at Skyhold, she is, at least, starting to settle in. Her weeks upon weeks of wandering across the Free Marches have also reinforced the importance of never turning down a free meal, so she makes herself comfortable in a little corner with a respectable amount of food (how much is she actually allowed to eat, she is not sure), and while she doesn't look she's going to run away at the first opportunity, the weay her shoulders are hunched inwards very much give off the look of a woman trying to not attract any attention.
