You're easier to love from afar (open)

WHO: Cosima and open
WHAT: Open post/catchall for Wintermarch
WHEN: Throughout the month; if you need to back or forward date due to Orlais plot, feel free
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: No warnings to start except for the potential of sad Cosima in some threads.




Tavern

Cosima's been moping long enough. She says this silently and firmly to herself several times a day, in fact. Enough moping. Get out, do some good, meet some people.

And while she's generally inclined to constructive action, Cosima isn't made of stone. After all, she's seen with her own eyes how possible it is she could be gone any moment without warning. (Home or ... wherever.) Carpe diem.

Which, loosely translated, means "have some wine at the tavern and flirt with ladies, because fuck it, you're in another world and you might as well." (Unless she sees a friend first, of course.)

Barracks (semi-closed; you know who you are)

While Avery is at work, Cosima has the room to herself. This makes it an excellent place to hold a meeting, and there's some unfinished business to attend to. She gathers Church and Jamie and does some digging to see if there's anyone else Ruby had roped into this idea before she left. Cosima is, by no means, a natural entrepreneur. But it felt like something she owed her friend.

"So. Who's ever run an eatery before?"

Points Around Skyhold (choose your own adventure)

As far as Cosima can determine, there's not just one place to declare: "Hi, I'd like to formally join the Inquisition" if you're not a fighter, a healer or a mage. She knows she can be useful, surely, but she doesn't know exactly where and she isn't entirely sure who to ask.

But she's seen a little of this world now - run up against Venatori and seen some of the effects of rifts that are much more destructive than spitting rifters into Thedas. She's determined to help.

So she'll keep trying to find a way in. There's a lot of research that goes on in Skyhold; surely someone can use an off-world research assistant.

"My etchings? Really?" She is giving her such a look right now.
thecookery: (Please don't ask about the hammer.)

"Aye, that's me," Avery sarcastically responds. "I find the prettiest bird up in this mountain, dust the flour off my apron, look her dead in the eyes, and say--"

For emphasis, she leans in and gives Cosima a very serious stare.

"I've some wine and sweetcakes back in my room, special for you. Shall we go for a roll, love?"
thecookery: (Do I take that as a compliment?)

Avery doesn't laugh outright, but she smiles and let out a grudgingly amused breath. "I truly hope that's you trying to make me feel better. Otherwise I've half a mind to apologize to you in place of some daft stranger."
thecookery: (Uhm the fuck?)

"If he wants to take it personal, let him. He's earned that stew he's sitting in," Avery grumbles in reply.
thecookery: (Because tattoos are for nerds?)

At the dismissal of the conversational thread, Avery unceremoniously flops back on the bed and lets out a sigh as she finds a somewhat comfortable position to settle into for a bit. She doesn't even look to Cosima, just staring at the ceiling, when she asks, "What were we talking about before that then? My seduction techniques?"

There's a pause and then an even more put-upon sigh. "I'm too tired. If you plan on being seduced by me, you'd best do it now while you've still the chance."
