Just, an absurd amount of watermelon, cut up and set on plates. All the food's set on tables that seem to have been moved from the library, and the ground is littered with blankets, for those who don't want to sit on the grass.

When we get out of here, [Because it is a when.] you should visit me. We can take a trip to Redcliffe, maybe have a picnic at Lake Calenhad. [A small smile quirks at her lips and sneaks into her voice.] I think you'd like it, if you look at it on a map it's shaped like a rabbit.
