So far from the sea it’s hard to think of crew, and though she’s never officially joined one it’s the unspoken bond Castileans all share; everyone can work together when the times are rough, and since she joined the guards that’s been true too. A strange sort of sisterhood. There isn’t really a good word for it when you’re all entangled with one another and the woman you’re guarding but only Korrin and Zevran know that she’s more than what she’s shown herself as, a particularly savvy thief with a pirate and whore for parents, with a penchant for being a talented gambler. But she understands the closeness when she feels it for certain people here, always checking up on them even if it’s just a quick look when she makes her way around Skyhold on the rooftops and the battlements.
“I was more scarf than person,” she admit with a laugh. “I managed to win this huge blue thing from someone before I went off, so long I could wrap around and around myself until only my eyes showed but I couldn’t have fought in it.” Not easily at any rate but it had helped with some of the worst of it when she was used to cold winds and not something so constant that liked to steal whatever warmth she managed to find mere seconds later. “One of my dearest friends lives in a place like that though they have a sea not a river and special ships that can break the ice but I understand how she was so miserable when she first came to live in my country, where it’s so hot almost all the year round.”
“I don’t know much about demons really,” she would prefer not to but understands that she’ll have to learn given the mark. “But I would still argue that the sea should be respected, there are wonderful things within it, I would not wish demons upon them.”
Making a quiet pleased sound, the fox trots back, tail wagging as he watches with Araceli who gives a little shrug. “Water does not keep on the open seas but we all must drink and so we drink rum. In the same way it is tradition to have rum with friends on our birthdays because that is giving life in a way, the greatest gift we can give to another.” There’s more, but that’s about the sea and she’s feeling homesick as it is.
“So you can keep practicing! I thought about your Vallaslin, and the colour is not the same but forests should be green and lush. The dice came from some sort of deer antlers, our best dice are made of bone or teeth, the ones I showed you, they were sperm whale teeth, that way they have also lived.”
