Nettle with lemon? Big spender. Of course, it's hot enough in Kirkwall for citrus to be widely available, and Merrill has been known to sneak into Hightown gardens to steal lemons and oranges when the guards are busy chasing after gangs. There are so many gangs in Kirkwall, you can't go two feet without tripping over a gang. I'll bring you some mint clippings -- I put it in a windowbox and it's spilling straight over. I think it's trying to get into the downstairs neighbor's rosemary.

Was your father always an apostate, or did he come from a Circle? Merrill isn't exactly sure of the details. She knows that the Hawke family moved around often because of Templars, that their father is dead and was a mage, and that Bethany and Aoife have never seen the inside of a Circle. Poor Carver, she thinks sometimes -- to be the odd one out among so many wizards. And it's hardly like they're Dalish, and are used to having them around. I can show you, but I'm not sure how different it will be. Have you got a bowl to strip the elfroot, or should I just use my hands?
