If only Clint Barton hadn't taken it upon himself to rather rudely inform Araceli that places can become even colder when she could quite happily have spent her days knowing that Skyhold is as cold as it gets. Remote and cold might deter enemies but it doesn't make it easy for everyone to go about their business, or to get supplies where they need to be if they're urgently required.
"Is the skull the sigil? I saw some very intricate illustrations, though for a country to be related to such a thing seems odd, to an outsider, I'm afraid that Ferelden and Orlais demanded more attention in my studies." They're closer, the Inquisition seems to divert the most attention to them and so it makes sense. There's Antiva too but Antiva is a darker mirror of her home where there's a knife around each corner rather than true possibility because no one describes a knife to the spleen as a possibility unless they're the one holding the knife.
"We've never spoken but he's very hard to miss, especially when you spend time in the library, he has a moustache the captains would envy. It's the priest from Tevinter I've spoken with at length."
Far too charming for a priest from somewhere she's heard only terrible things of thus far and when compared to the rather staid women of the Chantry more heavily represented. Honestly? She'll take charming and keeping her guard up over having verses of the Chant recited to her.
Also fewer ridiculous hats because it's hard to pay attention and restrain her laughter at the same time.
"Never in my life did I think I would be a person to hoard socks and yet here we are, with a stash I shall guard with my life. And some of the robes I've seen the mages in look as useful against the cold as a thimble on a sinking ship."
