"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to live their own life; Kirkwall is more public than Skyhold, I wonder how many people know that and how many understand it." There's a difference between them and she's had time to think about it on the voyage over, short as it was or when she's been doing some of the more mindless and mundane tasks. Without having their own room to retreat to, a few subjects have to be stepped around carefully but Korrin knows what she did before so she should know what Araceli's hinting at. "I don't know, maybe it was what I did before coming here that has me looking at all this differently? But only throw our enemies off piers, you know exactly what they'd say about you and who knows how many of them might come after you. Or Kas and Taashath into the bargain."

There she goes again really but some things are sewn so deep into a person that they can't be helped and this one has been in Castileans so long that it isn't something that's taught. It's just done. When times are hard, you unite, you think of the whole even as you live for yourself. Rising to toss some of her finished vegetables in the nearest pot - a huge thing of soup that they can stretch for a good couple of days if they add some rice or pulses to it - she considers carefully. "We don't have to live there, if we can, I'd like to live down here by the docks. Back home I lived so close I could hear the rigging in the wind, the sailors calling to one another and honestly? I never stopped missing that for a moment when I was in Skyhold. Still, with the Gallows cleared, can you imagine what it would be like if free mages and so many others were using it for something better? Something more?"

Look, there's a lot to be said for salvage, Araceli isn't one for wasting things.

"Maybe when the last of the Inquisition arrive? Things might be more settled then with where all of us are living and the supply situation, some of the locals might be more accepting too. It'd take more planning than Kirkwall now."
