[A nod.] You didn't miss out, [he says nonchalantly before casting about.] You should...I should, I'll make you some tea, have a seat. Do you like tea? They frown on us cracking into the medicinal wine, so.
Gladly, I love tea. [ She turns in place before finding a seat and arranging herself in it, short legs barely touching the floor. ] Besides, I wouldn't want you to get in trouble on my account. [ A wink. ]
[That gets a real smile instead of a nervous one. What he finds isn't real tea, which is still being rationed, but he finds an excellent substitute. The kettle gets put on.]
Sorry the best I've got is raspberry leaf, [he says, giving her an apologetic look.] But it's good raspberry leaf.
[Taking a seat himself, he glances away, toward, and away again.]
Raspberries are delicious, I'll take the leaves just as well.
[ Her warm smile stays on her face even as he turns away. ]
Through the Wardens, mostly. My husband, Helec... he tried, but he was no mage, just incredibly patient. [ She huffs out a small laugh at the memory. ] I could throw a lightning bolt when I met them, and heal little cuts and sprains, but not much more than that.
[ And now he knows someone who managed it, strictly speaking. For a little while, at least. ]
Really?[ She grins at that. ] Oh, that's good to hear. [ A nice story about the Wardens, for once, is a welcome tale to her ears. ] I was very fortunate. Several instructors took pity on my ignorance. Did they go to the Circle, or was this after?

So how'd you learn spirit healing?

A Grey Warden actually taught me spirit healing, [he says softly.] You've got a lot of great people you must have learned from.
