Hey people, Foggy here. I got a couple of those boxes that seem to happen to people and while it's addressed to me, I get the feeling that it's meant for the collective. I've got a bunch of woodworking tools here, including chisels, files, a saw and a hand drill with drill bits.

I'm taking this a hint that they approved of my amateur forays into carpentry and want that to continue, but I want to make sure everyone knows they're welcome to use them. For now, I'm keeping everything at the South Inn, but maybe we can set up one of the houses, or the mill as a workshop at some point.

Even had an idea for making paper from the sawdust and shavings. That's probably going to need experimentation though.

South Village Inn

True to his word, Foggy has set up in the large front room. He's moved a table to a far corner and he's set out the tools, checking them over to see if they're all fine. He does know all these tools, he did high school wood working, but it's been a while.

A long while.

But the main reason for sitting here is so that it's apparent he is here, and the tools are here, and they can work something out for making useful things and teaching people to make useful things.

I should be able to provide that. I know at least one person who will benefit from a real bed.

[clouded_heart]

I can name a couple as well. I'm in the lucky number doing just fine at the Inn on my lonesome.

[ataashihunter]

People you want to get into yoru bed, or mine? or both?

[clouded_heart]

People who could do with a good bed.

[ataashihunter]

Oh you went for the less fun option

[clouded_heart]

I did. Not least of all because I don't presume people want to get in my bed with me, unless they want some warmth in this weather, because I do give off heat.

[ataashihunter]

Yeah that would be nice. But you're not bad looking, I wouldn't be in your bed just for the warmth.

[clouded_heart]

Without trying to seem pathetic or desperate, I'm not entirely sure why I'd be in your bed, given you don't seem to be hurting for company from the flirting I've seen going on.

[ataashihunter]

I am not, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like more people. And I wouldn't invite you if I wasn't actually interested.

[clouded_heart]

I believe you're interested, that's not an issue! More a bit surprised.

[ataashihunter]

You underestimate yourself then. You're good looking Foggy. In a different way than say... Zevran or Bobo or Nida, but that doesn't change that you are. I like a lot of variety.

[clouded_heart]

I know I'm not bad looking, this isn't me looking for compliments (though they're appreciated, thank you). I'm not *pretty* like some people are. And the clothing here certainly isn't the most flattering...

[ataashihunter]

That is very true, but it isn't good for anyone at least.

But it isn't just about looks. I think you'd be fun in bed.

[clouded_heart]

Thanks, I hope I am.

But like I said, got some stuff in my head to sort out. And I'd want to know your definition of fun and games and how my own aligns with it.

[ataashihunter]

No worries, and we should. Which brings another question. You want me to stop flirting until you've sorted it out? I like flirting even if that is all it is.

[clouded_heart]

No, I like flirting, it's fine, so long as there's an understanding that it's just that.

[ataashihunter]

Good. And I want you to tell me to back off if it is ever uncomfortable.

[clouded_heart]

Not an issue, I'm very good at protecting my own boundaries. But it's good of you to check.

[ataashihunter]

A lot of people can be a bit worried about a Qunari flirting with them. Worse when it is a Tal-Vashoth not that most people know the difference.

[clouded_heart]

You intimidate me a bit, but that's never been a reason for me to back down on anything before.

warn: consent issues?

[ataashihunter]

Good, I want people to be in my bed because they want to, not because they're afraid to say no. There's been times when who I was with wasn't my choice and that wasn't nearly as good.

[clouded_heart]

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I'm not scared to say no.

Consent issues, eugenics

[ataashihunter]

It is just the way Qunari view things. The Tamassrans figure out what bloodlines to continue and when and then you sleep with whoever they tell you to. Well, I guess specifically procreate. The rest of the time we can sleep with whoever we want. As long as no kids come from it.

Consent issues, eugenics

[clouded_heart]

We had people not that dissimilar.

The rest of the world waged a war on them to stop them.

Re: Consent issues, eugenics

[ataashihunter]

Why? If their people didn't mind it.
