Try something new, they said...

WHO: Fenris and you
WHAT: Someone wants to better himself. Or something.
WHEN: Early Cloudreach
WHERE: Around Skyhold. Isolated corners. The tavern (there's a surprise)
NOTES: Probably a warning from swearing in Tevene. It's Fenris.

He tried looking at it every which way he could, but it made no sense. Well. It made sense to someone, he was sure, but not him. The book that was in front of him was being studiously ignored to make way for something more useful - alcohol.

He was feeling the lack of being able to read. He knew that as many could read as couldn't, but all of his friends round about could - and when he was out in the field, it would be useful to be able to read slaver's ledgers to be able to find out just where they had been - and where they were going next. But how did you even go about that.

Preposterous. He shouldn't even have thought of it. With a sigh he finished his drink and stood up, looking around, and thought about leaving the book behind, but tucking it under his arm. Maybe he would ask Zevran to help him.

Still. He was mellow as he walked through Skyhold at least. Alcohol had a tendency to do that to you.

While he didn't mind that in theory, it still seemed a waste that some of that wine could end up being used for cooking. "You could open up a nice little side line," he pointed out quietly. "End up making money... for whatever you wanted." Which is what he would do with it.

"Gold ain't the point of it, is it?"

She sounds almost affronted. Sullying a prank's good name with gold.

"Take it if you like, but I'm not getting messed up in it."

[aggregiopavali]

She couldn't understand gold, he couldn't understand pranks. It would seem there was something for everyone in it after all. "Fine. I won't tell you what I do with it." Simple. "What now?"

[arsebiscuit]

"Drink."

Maker, shiny. Like it's hard.

"Tell stories if we want. Play cards. Make weird faces. Fun things, yeah?"

[aggregiopavali]

That's it? All that effort? Not that he wouldn't appreciate it, but it just seemed like an awful lot of effort for some expensive wine that they would do nothing with.

"Hilarious."

[arsebiscuit]

She clearly misses the sarcasm in there as she beams. It was just a brilliant plan, wasn't it?

"I know it."
