Oh, aye, we'd met in the stables a while back when...it wasn't too long after you'd come to Skyhold, wasn't it, Merrill? Although come to think of it, you'd wandered in on me that time and I wandered in on you this time. Suppose that makes us even.

[Still he's glad for that first meeting, because he likes her, and he never minds the chance to make new friends. Much like he's hoping he and Kallian are becoming, and he can't quite help sneaking a glance over at her as he goes to set down the various plants and feathers so Merrill can take a look at them.]

Take it you two wound up getting assigned together, then? Can't say as I'd wound up with such good luck on my end. Mind you, if I keep wandering up in the wrong tent it might not be a problem after all. I may never find my way back to mine.

[Given his tentmate, he's not entirely convinced that would be the worst thing in the world, and he picks up a striking feather that looks a bit like it'd come off of a snow bunting back home, even though he's fairly certain snow buntings don't exist here.]

Hey, what are you planning on doing with all of this, anyway?
