The Healing Tents

Now that the weather is warming ever so slightly, and Sina is feeling ever so slightly better, she's throwing herself back into assisting the Inquisition's healers. Though she uses magic sometimes, for the most part she's helping out by providing poultices, herbal remedies, and a soothing bedside manner to the ailing patients, keeping herself busy and no longer focused on the anchor in her chest.

This is how she spends the majority of her afternoons, with the occasional break to rest. She's not in perfect health herself, and it's showing more than ever.
Though in most cases she just seats herself off to one side until her strength rebuilds, there have been one or two incidents in which she has very nearly collapsed and required assistance.
If this upsets her, she shows no sign of it, at least not in the moment.

The Garden

Sina's early mornings to lunchtime are spent planting, trimming, and checking the progress of her various charges. They're starting to bud, which concerns her somewhat since frost is still very much a problem, but some coaxing (and perhaps the tiniest use of Keeper magic) keeps things moving along in a healthy and otherwise undisturbed manner.

She can be found here in the evenings as well, sitting outside her tent, sometimes with Nahariel, wrapped in a blanket and enjoying a cup of tea. She's come to think of the garden as home, it being the greenest place in Skyhold.

Elsewhere

There are times Sina can be encountered with her basket of herbs, making deliveries to the various offices and people requesting medicinal teas, or just in transit from one place to another. It's actually quite rare to find her inside the Keep itself, as the stone enclosures make her nervous, but she does have to pass through every so often.
Hippie.

His smile finally does wind up changing a bit when she says 'moreso', turning rather more wry - but all in all, he's glad that she doesn't think it's a bad thing, and it shifts back to something more normal before he winds up nodding.

"Aye, think I might've mentioned it before," he says, reaching for another piece of cheese. "Or maybe the Doctor did. It's an acr...acro...one of those words that's made up from other words. TARDIS means 'Time and Relative Dimension In Space'. It's a-did I explain spaceships to you before? I'm no sure if I have."

[eolasemah]

To Sina, who has spent nineteen years of her life in the woods with an insular family, everything is weird.
"Oh." She says, processing his explanation and finding she... can't. "How does it mean that?" She's able to read well enough, both common and Elvhen, but grammatical nuance tends to elude her. "And no, you didn't."

[wontforgetyou]

To be fair, there is a lot of weird out there - and he's seen his fair share of it. Explaining it...well, that's another story, and even though his mouth opens briefly, it shuts just as quickly as he takes a moment to reconsider. If he doesn't explain spaceships, the rest of it won't make any sense. Of course, he runs the risk of none of it making any sense, but at least if he starts there he might have a chance, and he nods, ever so slightly.

"Right. So you must've seen some of the ships around here by now, surely? Well, a spaceship is something that can travel like a ship, only far up in the sky where the stars are. And the TARDIS can travel like a spaceship does, only that's not the only way it can travel."

[eolasemah]

Oh, more about the stars. She had a bewildering discussion on the topic with the Doctor, and she's not sure she cares to repeat it. "That's ridiculous," she states, but in a more resigned manner than before. It's not 'that's ridiculous and I don't believe you', it's 'that's ridiculous and I have no idea what's going on anymore'.

[wontforgetyou]

She's not alone, if that helps any. Jamie's had many bewildering conversations with the Doctor, and if there's one thing he understands is that a lot of times, there's going to be things that he doesn't understand.

"Aye, tell me about it. I'd thought the same thing once, myself."

Still, he gives her a sympathetic look all the same before offering over a piece of bread.

"Look, we don't have to talk about that if you don't want. I know it sounds ridiculous, and the only thing I can tell you is that I'd not have believed it if I'd not had seen it with my own eyes. Surely there's things that you've seen that've happened here that'd be the same for you."
