My esteemed madame, I would die for the opportunity to go out shopping with you in Val Royeaux. What do you need? What shall we get? I normally avoid paying for anything, but for you, I'll make an exception.

I intend to use my own wages, [she assures him,] --I have been invited to the theatre in Kirkwall, and I should like a new dress for the occasion.

Oh, you're giving me an early gift for my birthday, aren't you? Helping you pick out a dress will be utter rapture.

Just as planned.
