"Being that sort of guard must be very boring." Said as if Araceli doesn't know the ins and outs of guard routines from both sides through the queensguard are always running around or planning; Araceli has never known how to stop doing something unless she's asleep. Kirkwall has too many ears so she can't really say too much. "No one thanks them for their service. If a pretty girl smiles and flatters her to charm something off her hand for a little while then maybe it comes close."

Korrin knows Araceli's life. Knows Araceli wouldn't overstep even if this is still (over a year in) a new thing but she darts a glance up of her own to check that she hasn't read it wrong when it comes to flirting with other people if she wants to get something from them. So let's talk about Church again because zero danger there. "I could send Lux to fetch something if you're that desperate but usually? You don't eat at a duel - what terrible books have you read?"

Araceli reads trashy romance novels in her spare time. There are a lot of duels. If she wanted to turn herself into a martyr she'd point out all the inaccuracies but she needs to have her own escapism too.
