WHO: Cyril and OPEN (starters for Pel, Sam, Iskandar, Anders, and Kirk - let me know if you want your own)
WHAT: In an effort to take his mind off certain people he's missing, Cyril sets up shop to sell his traps and puzzles again.
WHEN: Throughout the day
WHERE: The stall is in the Gallows, otherwise out and about.
NOTES: None yet

Taas was gone, reassigned to another place, and Merrick was spending more and more time away from him in the shadows of this city. Cyril wasn't lonely, but he missed them both. He had other people around him - friends, lovers, and family - but he was coming to realize that the spots where those people had been couldn't be filled with anyone else.

He still had Taas's dragon tooth, and that helped. He never took it off now and had put the silver ring he had stolen from Sam so long ago on the same rope around his neck. He still saw Merrick from time to time too, but the visits were becoming fewer and fewer.

Rather than dwell, he wanted to sell the items he once had in Skyhold's courtyard. The stall he has is small, but it shows a collection of puzzle boxes and traps that someone can buy for reasonable pricing. As people walk by he's playing with one of the boxes now, twisting them to show how they work.

He smiles right back at Cyril, shaking his head. "It's hardly a bad time for me. Your hand, however, seems to be having a rough time of it."

Anders grabs a stool and takes a seat before taking Cyril's hand in, well, hand, and starting to unwrap it.

"Do I want to know the story behind this? Did you slap a dragon? Poke a bear?"

Cyril breathes a sigh of relief when Anders takes the matter without having to be asked. He really doesn't like the idea of being seen as taking advantage of his friend's talent but he also knows that Anders enjoys looking after others.

"Oh, I should come up with a good story. I like the slapped a dragon one. Maybe I'll go with that." He offers Anders a pleased smile at the idea. The wound is deep, but Cy managed to apply enough pressure to limit the loss of blood. It probably would scar without proper attention. "What happened was rather dull. I was distracted while making a trap and got my hand caught in it. The sign of a true amateur."
