Lady Josephine and the Saarebas Herald

Advice from a Red Jenny

Sera pondered for a half-second. "So let me get this straight, or should I say, let me get this gay! Hahah, that was a bad joke. Anyways, you got the hots for the Orlesian diplomat but you don't have the confidence to say it to her face?"

The mage nodded steadily. Usually one would go to someone like Dorian or Varric for this sort of issue but they tended to have looser lips and extravagant tones that almost ensured it would get to Josephine eventually, rumors usually did. "So, um, what do I do I guess is what I'm asking." Said Adaar nervously.

Sera responded with the swiftness of her arrows but as well as the grace (or lack there of) of her words. "Simple, just waltz up to her, confess your love, doesn't need to be out in the open, bring flowers if you'd like! Orlesians like fancy shit like that, right?"

The inquisitor was a bit caught off guard. Was it that simple? She wasn't very familiar with these areas of expertise. Discrimination and stereotyping had left her timid and cautious with most social interactions, tried to make herself not so big and scary as people tried to make her out to be. Maybe for once she would need to muster some bit of boldness she had usually reserved for sealing the fate of her enemies.

Adaar softly cleared her throat. "So, have any idea what kind of flowers I should bring? I'm honestly clueless with such things and there's that... 'Flower language' thing that I have yet to understand either."

After pacing circles around her dwelling space sera gave a nonchalant shrug. "I honestly don't know. What do I look like an upperclass florist? Y'know what? Ask one of those. Usually I'm opposed to lining the coin purse of another rich asshole but I'm pretty sure that Val Royeaux place you met me at has a flower shop or two. Go there I guess."

Adaar nodded. "Thank you Sera, I can always count on you." The red Jenny gave a smile and a short platonic hug ending on a gentle pat on the back. "Good luck." She said as the inquisitor stepped back out into the Skyhold Tavern.
