...is there something with which I can help you?

[It's a good question. Time to go with what's easiest for him.]
Barriers. I can manage barriers. Will that help you?

[Just as he expected, and for a moment his eyes dance with barely suppressed mirth before her words turn his grin into a rather warm smile.]
Och, I don't need anything fancy. All I really need is a good bowl of oats, with a wee bit of salt. Maybe a touch of butter or honey if you want to dress it up a bit, but if that means you'll join me then anything you'd want to do would be grand. And maybe I'll return the favor sometime.

It can't hurt. My fighting and defense aren't very good. The Nightmare proved that much.
I might be half-Orlesian, but my other half is Dalish, and I promise, luxury isn't really something we have in the alienages either. I don't need fancy either. I can't exactly afford it.
But I suppose having breakfast together wouldn't be a bad thing.
Oh! And there's the water! Let me just...
[She busies herself getting the tea started.]
...there. In just a few minutes, we'll have tea.

[Ah there we go. Vivienne relents in her annoyance, though not for the reasons one might think. Adelaide as a mentor is well and good. Madame de Fer approves of anyone tough enough to overcome the hardships that Kallian has had working against her.]
Well you need not fear any longer, my dear. I am terribly disappointed but I'm certain I'll recover in time.
Now that your secret is known, we simply must see that you're adequately cared for. You would have had a mentor to study with in the Circle, though it seems you're well past that stage in skill if you've already a spirit partner. Are you only familiar with the healing arts or have you shown any aptitude for the other schools of magic?

[He can't help but feel the tiniest little thrill at the idea of getting to have breakfast with her, even though he's sure it's got to be a bit daft to feel excited over the notion. It's just breakfast, after all - and even if he knows it'll be a good one, simply because she's a good cook, she'll think it's ridiculous if he says something about looking forward to it.
There's a part of him that's tempted to do just that, granted, even if it means he'll have to explain why that is, and he even goes so far as to open his mouth to blurt out what he's feeling - but then the water boils, and the moment's lost. Instead, he winds up bringing up his hand to scratch at the back of his ear in an effort to get the momentary feeling under control.]
Aye, sounds like it. Should be just the thing we need. Are we taking it back with us or settling in here for a bit, then?

Oh... Um. Did you want to take it back? I mean, we could, if you want... I don't know if it'll be too strong or too cold by the time we get back, though...
[She pauses awkwardly.]
[She pauses awkwardly.]
Well... the very first thing I did was cause a fire. It was an accident.
Otherwise, Niella trained me mostly in Creation and Spirit magic. Though... I don't like doing some of the spells. Like the ones that draw on the dead.

[She gets a gentle kiss to the temple before he releases her, takes one more bite of his muffin, and sets it aside with the tea.]
All right. Let's have you put a barrier around us and see what we're working with.

[Admittedly, he hadn't really been thinking about it being too strong or cold, and the pause stretches for a moment or two longer before he shakes his head.]
Well, it's not up to me, I'd say. If you'd rather sit here because the tea won't get cold as fast then that's alright by me, but I thought maybe you'd want to, erm, be more comfortable. So...it's your choice if you'd prefer to stay or go.

[Several colors of hair ribbons are left outside her tent, wrapped in a note:]
I thought of you when I saw these
-Detlef

Detlef? I found the ribbons... Thank you. Where did you get them?
Rivain, actually. I was there on a mage-helping mission, and saw them after we'd finished our work. I thought you might like them.
They're beautiful. Almost makes me wish I had more dresses to go with them.
I'm not sure how much dresses cost, but we can keep an eye out for something new if you'd like.
Ah the practices of the Mortalitassi. I should think you wouldn't care for them. It is a matter of importance in Nevarra, but I find it ghastly.
