*purposefully

*makes a note of this on their requisitions list, nods once and strides purposely away* 👀📋✍️

Yes, maybe both! Perhaps we'll never know..

I've heard tales of such things.. in the old days, plants and animals as big the mountains!! Or a world full of magic and spirits!

*chuckles* Depends on who you ask, I suppose..

Oh no, I don't need fossils.. I just find them on occasion while digging.

This one looks as though it may be a distant ancestor of the greater nuggalope... The "Nuggleupagus Gigantis"
So huge!! 👀👀👀

I was digging around near some old ruins recently and found some rather large fossilized nug bones...

Well fortunately, rocks and hard places are my specialty!

*pulls out a rock pick*

*takes the offered hand* Thank you, Ser.. I really do need to watch out for those potholes.. they'll sneak up on you 👀

Yes Ser! *salutes*

I love rhodochrosite.. it looks like chunks of ham (not despair ham)

*tries to take a nibble*

The Dioptase, I think... such a pretty green crystal.. like green ice. Or green candy.. 👀👀👀

KYANITE ALL THE WAY BABY!!!

It looks a lot like lyrium..

Tough one... but the Haüyne is such a gorgeous blue tho 👀👀👀👀

I can't believe Bel and Cole's wedding was 6 months ago already!! How time flies!!

Anyhoo, I have some requisitions here if anyone wants one. Plenty of dwarven puzzle boxes to be made!!

*Observes the rocks after a few minutes*

Yep, they're definitely prettier when they're wet.

⏳️..........⌛️

For science!!

*takes the rock samples, handling them with the utmost care. Then placing them in a highly specialized Rock-Testing Dish™️... they gently pour a trickle of water over the rocks... and then wait.* 👀

I don't know..? Possibly? I could take some samples and run some tests...

*thinking of pretty rocks*

Violet, ser. I was born in the springtime when they were in bloom so my mum named me after them, so she says..

*they smile and make a slight bow towards Cole*

Ahh.. well.. you know where to find me if you come across some interesting ores.

👀

A fine collection!! Like I said if you find any other interesting or unusual stones, I'd be interested in taking a peek at them
🪨🔍🧐

No I didn't see your collection but I'd love to if you don't mind!

I'm doing alright.. the constant requisitions keep me busy *chuckles*

*they tap their chin thoughtfully*

I have been in the process of writing a book though.. "Rocks, Gemstones and Minerals of Thedas". So if you come across anything interesting, I'd love to see it.

Ooh thank you very much! A fine specimen indeed!!

*looks slightly horrified*

"No thanks.. I'm uhh, lactose intolerant"

*sighs*

"Fine I'll get it for you."
