Nodding in agreement to Araceli's suggestion, Korrin leans over as she adds to the pot with her own finished vegetables before starting in on others. Soup is sounding pretty good to her, and she's just grateful it's in the hands of someone who knows that taste is important. Only Fereldans can work all day and be content with bland mush. "I think the time-table is set for the latter end of this month, when everyone should be moved over here. Give a couple of weeks after that, and we could be looking at Bloomingtide. Summerday festivities ought to help the mood, too."
Everywhere in Thedas that's a celebrated day, one for joy and sometimes marriage. Kirkwall will still be damn depressing to Korrin's mind, but she's not against trying to pretend it isn't for a little while. If they didn't have those moments, it would be difficult to endure all this.
Not expecting Araceli to press the issue about living at the Gallows anyway, Korrin relaxes and smiles in agreement. "The docks sound perfect to me. It'd be the perfect excuse for being picked for missions outside it, anyway. We're right next to the ships, we can leave whenever." Or something like that. "If free mages manage to make something out of that place that isn't depressing and horrific and creepy, more power to them. But there are some who probably think like I do, that it'd be better to just tear every last bit down and rebuild from scratch. Too bad we don't have the time or resources to make that happen. Our miracles will just have to be of the flashier, save-the-world sort."
She flashes a smile that soon fades as her mind turns elsewhere. "...I should seek out Kas, shouldn't I? He has a good heart, but he's still young and his fuse is more easily lit than mine. It wouldn't take much here to set it off, and with the way things are now, that could end badly." Sigh, being the adult is such a pain sometimes, especially when she wants to hold that pier fantasy close to her grudge-savoring heart.
