[The injury must be work relate, since she's a city elf. She's seen a few that have gotten hurt on their jobs, some even severely. It wasn't something Merrill ever worried about herself but it's nice, having another elf, even if she's not Dalish.]

Oh, I've been living in an alienage, so "cut it up and boil it down" is a recipe I can really understand. [Even better that it actually tastes good(?) when done. That's better than some of the things she's boiled.

Merrill glances up afterwards. She's listening to them right now?]

...She's a bit shy, isn't she? I tried talking to her a little but I don't think she understood much of what I was saying. I think I rambled a bit.
