Why was six nervous? Because seven eight nine.

Madeline smiled warmly as she settled into her seat at the stall, the aroma of grilled meat mingling with the bustling sounds of the market around them. She took a small sip of water before answering Beth.

Oh, I've lived in a few places before settling here in West Hills, always Ferelden though, Madeline replied, her gaze momentarily drifting as she recalled past travels. I have visited Antiva City, spent some time in Kirkwall, even ventured as far as Val Royeaux for a while. But West Hills will always be my home.

She picked up a kabob skewer, savoring the flavor before continuing. As for taking a break, I appreciate your concern. It's been a hectic season, hasn't it? But I find these moments in the market quite rejuvenating. Besides, there's always something new to discover here.

Madeline gestured around them, indicating the lively stalls and diverse crowd. And speaking of breaks, how about you? Do you get a chance to unwind from your busy duties? I’d hate to think I’m over working you.
