The Orlesian tailors arrived in great state, bringing with them a cadre of servants, workers, and snotty attitudes. They hate everything. It is cold in Skyhold. It is damp. Everything smells of wet dog. The working conditions are abysmal. The food is criminal. There's not a damned thing they don't complain about, except for the piles of coin they stand to make from this soiree. Yes, they are more than content to build a fortune with exclusive work that will be seen by some of the aristocracy's finest.
Harritt apparently doesn't much like them either. They've taken over his Undercroft with their fabrics and threads, designs and opinions. Oh they have opinions. He stays to one corner, attending his work, and grumbling under his breath about the poncy cheesesniffers.

She let out a low hmm under her breath, completely ignoring the tailor.
"It is likely too late for the ball, now. But remind me, later, and I will see if I can do something for you, for the next time.

"That is very kind of you," he said on a breath. "But you really needn't trouble yourself--"
He'd already turned down the open purse of the woman offering to pay for anyone who couldn't. He didn't want to be indebted. He didn't - he wanted to believe he could do this, on his own.
That he didn't need the Treveans.

She shook her head, ignoring his protests.
"It is no trouble. I can teach you, and then you can do it for yourself when required. I often use dyes, when I am not using silver for my masks. It is far easier to make a rich colour, when you are controlling it yourself."
The tailor sniffed unhappily.
no subject
He didn't know what to say. Just still there, coloring slightly, glad of the fabric and the tailor's busy hands to hide it.
"Thank you."
no subject
She just nodded, as thanks were proper, and she wasn't expecting any further statement anyway.
"Remind me," She told him, in a firm tone that indicated just how much trouble he would be in if he didn't remind her. "I should probably leave you to your fitting, for now."
no subject
"Good luck."
