[ Here are a few places one can find Erik within the Gallows on a regular basis:
The Library: Reading a little bit of everything, actually but focusing on recent history reports, whatever passes for science fiction, books about the Fade, and books about religion. Oh and a book or two on elven culture. Shh.
He's here at all sorts of hours but mostly between 11pm and 5am, apparently not sleeping very well otherwise. Why else be in a library at prime sleeping time?
The Smithy: Erik is fascinated by this area and mostly writes notes about whatever process he's allowed to observe here. Leave his little engineering heart alone about it! (Or don't, actually. Bothering him is preferable to the narration.)
The Herb Garden: Because he's curious if he recognizes any plants from home. Spoilers: he doesn't, but he keeps coming back anyway, usually in the early afternoon.
Training Area: Sparring with swords and spears, because there's no excuse not to stay in shape. Also there's a war on? So. Come gawk at the man. It'll be fun.
Anywhere else: He explores the entire Gallows during his quarantine and then does it again afterward, so consider this an open invitation to wildcard me.

→ You should ask around, my city; open
[ Erik discovers the market district in Lowtown and spends an inordinate amount of time there, mostly browsing, but occasionally buying small items. A scarf at one point. Close to the middle of the month he is clearly looking for something specific - jewelry, it would seem. He picks up bracelets, necklaces, earrings, but doesn't seem to settle on anything for a while.
You can also find him in the occasional tavern. He hates drinking alone; join him? ]
→ You should get to work, get busy; closed to athessa & vanadi
[ Erik left a note at Athessa's. Now he just has to wait for them to show up. So he's chilling in the herb garden, again, this time at sunset. ]

You can always practice with me. No one's hit me up on my line yet.
[ A laugh at Vanadi's suggestion, and then shaking his head. Even just imagining trying to walk someone through, say, a Jay-Z song is quite something. Hilarious, really, but still something. ]
I ain't the best one to be trying to teach anybody Top 40 hits from back home, anyway, but that's a cool idea. [ His crystal is in his pocket. ] What about you, what would you bring? [ Though he's gathered that Thedas is possibly closer to wherever Vanadi comes from than Erik's version of Earth, of the Sol system is to the here and now. ]

His wardrobe, probably...
[ Said into her soup bowl, though there's a teasing glint to the glance she gives Vanadi. He's definitely got higher standards for clothes than she does, anyway. ]
no subject
My sword, actually. It's been just long enough that I'm finally starting to miss it. [ A beat. ] But the wardrobe is a close second.

[ His was probably special in some way, but if there's anything in Thedas that can be made special, it's weaponry. She looks past Vanadi at Erik, curious. ]
What's the fashion where you come from? That stretchy stuff in what you were wearing when you got here is pretty wild.
no subject
And — would you wear it if you had it, at risk of standing out quite a lot? There would be no surer way to mark yourself a rifter at first glance.
no subject
I wouldn't wear it all at once, but I would like to incorporate it here and there. Like, one piece of clothing from somewhere else probably won't stand out too much if you do it right.
