It takes a little while for Araceli to reply since she has to go grab a bucket for the guts and the scales, and the fish heads. Not that anyone is going to throw them out since something in Skyhold is going to eat them, be that some of the strays, some of the rats that inevitably end up in all places where people are if they can spare the poison, or perhaps the dracolisks. You could probably feed anything to a dracolisk and it wouldn't grumble or bat an eyelid.
"My place is small. Artist district so not much money unless you have a patron and of course, I am not an artist in a way that invites any sort of patron so I have a small home. A bedroom that has a curtain, a bathroom that has a door. Everything else is a big room but that is my kitchen and not all places have that since some just have a tiny space for a kitchen so you can have more space for whatever else. I picked my place just for the kitchen." Obviously she's talking about her own home, not the palace quarters she has but the place she moved to when she moved out on her own, the one she still keeps because it's handy to have it, because she'd miss it.
Because again, as much as she gets free run of the palace kitchens far more than Skyhold's, she misses having her own where she gets to dictate everything.
"Once the spices are all done, if you add a few drops of oil? A few. We can add more if we need to but we can't take it back out if there's too much." There's a little bit more authority in her voice, the same way there is when she gives a climbing lesson but she's not yelling the way she does if people just try to do things alongside her unannounced. Delegation is key. That dealt with, she looks up for a moment and laughs. "I sleep in tents when I must, I would break into rooms if I had to stay in tents here, or the barracks. I am used to a certain level of comfort."
