Please, feel free to ask for more than that as a baseline.

[ Please. Raise. The bar!! ]

[quirkwall]

[ looks at the village. looks at the island ]

Maybe when they have more than the worst they could offer.

[recession]

Never knew you were this avoidant of disappointment.

[quirkwall]

Even the worst Kirkwall has to offer seems to feel like a maker blessed miracle in comparison. We've no need to introduce any of this mess to it.

[ which. tbh probably tells you A Lot how shitty Kirkwall is, lmao ]

[recession]

We can afford to have a few standards, Ms. Hawke... but really, I thought Prehevil was really backwaters to begin with. [ Thinking about how first-class train tickets just don't exist to Prehevil. ] Sc... the camp does set new bars lower than the hellish pits Alll-mer crawled back out of.

[quirkwall]

Even being down in the depths of the Dark Roads was a lighthearted vacation compared to this.

Though suppose I've gotten soft in my age and simply everything doesn't compare anymore. No need to bring anything back when you've already got a much nicer bed waiting back home, hm? [ but also ] Unless you think I could somehow sneak one of those house tubs back?

[recession]

Aren't you thirty?

Also, where would you put it...? You can't bring the plumbing back with you.

[quirkwall]

[ one very long weheh later ]

I'm sure I could find a way.

[recession]

...

[ He isn't going to stop her. OOCly it'd also just be funny for us to just. Have a bathtub. Right outside the cabin. ]

If that's what you want to do.

[quirkwall]

[ brightly ]

It would make the others very jealous.

[ the real question is would any of them even use an open air bath ]

[recession]

[ Tbf the only baths we have otherwise in the camp ARE already open-air baths so like. That's what they have to deal with by default anyway. ]

What are you, trying to start housing wars?

[quirkwall]

[ help me. the more luxurious edition with hot!! water!! then ]

Nothing like a good bit of fun between everyone to lighten the mood, hm? Besides, we never did find out who replaced Robin's pillow.

[recession]

Was it not Mr. Akabane?

[ Who else keeps pettily leeching things. ]

[quirkwall]

[ her expression says how did that small chaos child even make it through the front door ]

I've not been told confirmation but out of everyone here, I wouldn't be surprised.

[recession]

It's not as if we wrote names on our respective chosen beds. I wouldn't be surprised if someone staying in the cabin annoyed him and he just picked one.

[ And it happened to be sweet Robin's... ]

[quirkwall]

[ the very quiet mutter of dumping him headfirst in a barrel of leeches sure hits differently now, doesn't it ]

If only there was a decent distraction for the more mischievous ones.

[recession]

Perhaps you'd like to volunteer to entertain him?

[quirkwall]

I could get Ser Snuffles to sit on him?

[recession]

[ Lowkey wants to say that wouldn't be a bad idea but. ]

I'd spare him the woe of having his ears and tail pulled.

[quirkwall]

[ ser snuffles betrayed expresion would be worth it. but he also knows where both of them sleep ]

I've no better suggestions then.

[recession]

Naught to do about it, I'm afraid. Terribly behaved as he is, that is a child.

[ That they later killed. ]

[quirkwall]

[ he's the graveyards problem now ]

Perhaps we'll just have to continue to be thankful we don't share a living space with him.

[recession]

You know he can come in at any time, right?
