Training Grounds

Of course, one of the first places that Kain checks out in Skyhold is the training grounds. Anything else can wait, it's more important for him to be at his best... especially with what they're facing here. He's still getting used to everything, coming to terms with the gods' war being over for him, and with the fact that it hadn't been the end he'd expected.

So Kain can be seen practicing with his spear, slicing up targets with the well-practiced ease of a skilled warrior. Every so often he throws in something probably a lot less... expected... like a mighty Jump or a blast of Cyclone. He's intent on what he's doing, but definitely open to sparring should anyone be around.

Around Skyhold

To go along on this mission, he's got to blend in. Which means that, unfortunately, it really isn't such a great idea to wear his typical dragoon gear out there. Way too noticeable for someone posing as a hunter.

He's somehow thrown together an especially garish combination of colors and patterns for his current attempt at "blending in". There's plaidweave of course, so much plaidweave, along with ring velvet, silk, ram leather... The whole thing isn't exactly... the greatest combination of patterns and colors (but since when has Kain known how to dress aside from armor?).

He doesn't seem to notice anything amiss as he explores the area some more. There are two main places he's most likely to be run into: He's especially fond of walking high along the castle battlements and towers, where he spends a lot of time. But he will also take a break for a drink later on in the tavern as well.

Kain notices the look of disgust and siiiiighs heavily. He knows he has no eye for fashion, that much is clear. Yet he'd thought for sure if he tried to somewhat imitate something vaguely that resembles something Baronian, he'd be fine. Apparently not. Some part of him almost wants to argue, but then this woman seems to know what she's talking about. Maybe.

Besides, was that... a compliment in among the rest of that there? Kain doesn't pay much mind to such things usually, nor does he expect them, so it sort of takes him off guard.

"But..." But he picked this out himself... oh, never mind, she probably doesn't need to hear that, she might think him more mad than she already does. "Right. All right, if you have some ideas, I suppose I'd be open to it. I'm supposed to be acting as a hunter on an upcoming mission..." Perhaps that will help give a sense of what he needs.

"That is helpful." Knowing what he'll be doing gives Vivienne a better idea of what the man needs. Beyond a wardrobe overhaul. While she leaves the way through the Great Hall to the Undercroft, she decides it might be best to get an idea of his own tastes. "Do you have colors you prefer, my dear? I would venture to say black or blue would suit you well. If you've a taste for yellow, I'd strongly suggest keeping it to gold accents, though that's hardly practical when hunting."

Because above all else, Vivienne is nothing if not completely practical about most everything.
