[ you have a tone, mister ]

To dry your hands, or the countertop, or whatever else you need dried. And also to look nice. You don't like them?

[wolfuncaged]

[He sure does. ]

They seem...excessively cheerful.

[Only to him. Then again a SMILE is excessively cheerful for him so. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

They're just hand towels. I promise I'm not trying to recruit you to the cult of good feelings.

[wolfuncaged]

I would not say you are as far to form a cult yet. Though given time, I am sure you can manage it.

[He might be joking. Maybe. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'll take that as a compliment to my charisma, even though I know it's not.

Making something to eat?

[wolfuncaged]

You can do so if you wish. I will not stop you.

[Wow that was almost FRIENDLY. ]

Hm. As much as we can make food with the vile paste here.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, I'd really murder some pizza right now.

What kind of food do you like?

[wolfuncaged]

Ah. I remember pizza. We sometimes ate it in Exsilium. It was...fine.

[Does "wine" count as food? No? ]

I like apples.

[takingkarabusiness]

Uncomplicated. I like that!

Do you think we'll come across any apples?

[wolfuncaged]

That much is true.

We already have. One of the former crewmates here made apple trees. They are in the gardens on the Isukaulit.

[He's vaguely aware it was done for his benefit, but it still feels weird. He'd done nothing nice to the poor guy. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh! I should really get out more.

[wolfuncaged]

I would recommend it. You would no doubt enjoy the gardens. There are flowers there.

[You happy types enjoy flowers, right?]

[takingkarabusiness]

That sounds lovely. I'll make it over there soon.

What else do you like around here?

[wolfuncaged]

[He takes a moment to consider this.]

I suppose I enjoy Varric's bar. It reminds me of one we frequent back home.

[takingkarabusiness]

Do a lot of people frequent it?

[wolfuncaged]

[That huffing sound he's just made? Totally a laugh. Go you, Kara! ]

The Hanged Man? Yes. Though it only attracted a certain...sort of clientèle. Luckily, Kirkwall is well known for such people.

...Also it was either there or the Blooming Rose.

[takingkarabusiness]

What kind of clientele was attracted there? At the Blooming Rose?

[wolfuncaged]

It is a brothel, so largely people who wanted sex.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh. I was thinking more along the lines of a lesbian bar. But that works too.

[wolfuncaged]

Oh...yes. They provided service for all tastes.

[At least Thedas in general is pretty progressive like that. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm sure, but a bar is different from a brothel.

[wolfuncaged]

It had a bar downstairs. Presumably to get possible clients more into their cups so they'd pay more.

[takingkarabusiness]

I suppose so.

[wolfuncaged]

Still, most went to the Hanged Man. It was a dank, stinking pit, but it was homely.

[takingkarabusiness]

How does Varric's bar measure up?
