"I would, yes. Some of them anyhow," she says, "They aren't all bad, but the ones that are do a real good job of it. Bad enough we don't have a proper Chantry to centralize things and that so called Mother spends most of her time in Tantervale."
She sighs and rubs a hand over her face, "I reckon you didn't come for Kirkwall specifically. But we're here and half of what ought to be done isn't. The best the Chantry's done of late is sending a crew of fuckin' recruiters for the march."
By the look on his face, it's not going to take much convincing-- in fact, there's a glimmer of interest in his eyes at the prospect of such an undertaking, even if it's inconvenient.
"I'll ensure a healthy amount of my time is spent there," he decides, "it won't do if the citizens of Kirkwall think the Chantry nothing but a vessel for war propaganda."
That's encouraging. She might not be entierly sure about this Gideon duster, but if he's moved by the prospect of actually helping people, that's something.
"That is the sentiment through most of Lowtown." Might be an exaggeration, but also she had to patch up more than a few loud idiots during the scuffles that had broken out. "The people of Kirkwall have been through plenty without getting the sense that the Chantry only sees them as cannon fodder."
Sawbones makes a humming noise and says instead, "If you're going to Lowtown, I have something for Sister Agatha. She assists one of the local midwives and was asking after some of my notes for a recent birth. She's been looking into alternatives to wet nurses."
She retrieves them from the pocket of her habit and holds them out expectantly.

"I'll pay a visit to Lowtown tomorrow. In the meantime, Sister, I'll let you rest."
This is, perhaps, code for 'that means you go away and rest'.
