Garryn nodded as Frankie spoke, and then chuckled at both the women comment and the healer comment. It made his mind wander a bit as he tried to picture what sort of situations regarding women that he had gotten himself in that had required a healer.
Of course, for Garryn his appetites were wider than just women, and he wondered to himself if Frankie would say the same thing about men as he had women. Though, who’s to really say men couldn’t be troublesome. History sure served up enough examples of them on a silver platter. If they could be troublesome about other things, why not in matters of the heart and bedroom. Then Garryn tipped his head curiously.
Of course, there was also the problem of, what if he fell in love with a man. He’d heard rumours of using magic to have children, but he wasn’t sure how he felt about using magic. Sure he grew up with Moira, who was a mage, but nothing like this ever came up in those years. Wasn’t there a price for heavy magic like that? He pushed the thoughts from his mind, he figured he’d keep men and magic babies to himself.
As far as the lumber and current housing situation, it was stressful to say the least. Sure they had some people in the tower. They’d used some wood and tree limbs they’d found in the immediate vicinity, but as far as immediate shelter, it had been easiest to get canvas from nearby villages than it had lumber.

I’ve always thought, that perhaps if I was forced into an arranged marriage, that perhaps…. I mean I’m not saying I WANT multiple partners at once. That’s a lot to juggle, and I’m not even sure I would call myself polyamorous, but if I had to marry someone simply to secure the line. Wouldn’t it be a solution for everyone to get what they want? I don’t know…He shook his head, it was a silly thing to say. Multiple partners sounded like a lot of work, but on the other hand, so did marrying someone he didn’t truly love.

I feel like a lot of villages are being stingy with their resources. I don’t know if I can blame them. Another blight not even twenty years after the last one. I’ve debated, I mean it’s probably a foolish idea, but I can’t shake the feeling that in order to find any sense of real peace in these times. We’re going to have to look further north.In many ways the Dwarves had a lot in common with the Dalish now, displaced and wandering. Though the Dalish seemed to like wandering around, the Dwarves wanted a place to call home.
