Far from the glamorous adventurous world-saving people signed up for, most of the hustle and bustle in Skyhold at present is cleaning. The Great Hall is a disaster, and crews are assigned to haul out the cracked and rotting planks fallen from the wide-open roof, and tear down the vines covering the walls. Ivy encrusts the main staircase outside and many of the fortress walls and is cleared in section while other groups assess or begin shoring up the stonework as it's revealed. There are scaffolding to build, materials to sort, crates to unload, tents to stitch together or set-up, and on and on and on, endless mundane chores vital to the survival of the organization.
When not hard at work, people cluster around fires across the courtyards. Many mingle freely, going about their business, running errands and messages, planning scouting missions, tallying up supplies, distributing or playing with the sending crystals that were found in a basement vault and which a group of mages have just today finished preparing for use. Once a good number have been passed around and the first Inquisition-wide transmission made messages start being broadcast; maybe you can help someone out.
The rebel mages and renegade templars mainly keep to themselves at opposite sides of the complex given the choice. Mages assist with healing and research and bicker amongst themselves about their options and their fate. Templars help train recruits in swordforms and basic combat techniques or spar with the more advanced and bicker amongst themselves about their options and their fate. Despite having all pledged themselves to the Inquisition, they still feel like separate factions and tension between them is palpable wherever they cross paths.
Like at meals, or the communal message board in the courtyard, or at the Herald's Rest. The mess hall/tavern is so new it still smells of sawdust, and its stock has been limited to one type of strong ale until today, when a shipment of West Hill brandy has finally arrived. The mood in the place is convivial in celebration of that, but there's still plenty of muttering, especially as the night drags on and the discontented get further into their cups.

He keeps a note to look for such groups at the very least, giving a glance to his slowly boiling pot at the question.]
A little. [He admits that much at the very least.] But mostly to make my potions in peace. The noise sometimes breaks my focus.

[ He decides to rest against the stone to look out to the courtyard. ] I have no more questions for you, but have no desire to relinquish this space. Allow us to enjoy the quiet that will come next.
[ A beat. ] Unless you have questions for me?

[Well he does have some, but Bruce knows better than to ask. He doesn't think the Templar will want to answer anyway, and he doesn't want to raise any suspicions if he asks anything that sounded too strange.
And besides, as long as he doesn't really do anything towards him, Bruce is fine with things as they are. They can just enjoy their space and silence in peace.]
