[She tugs her right sleeve up, revealing the full design on her forearm.]
So this is an animal shell, it's a creature from home called a nautilus. Maybe they exist in Thedas, I guess I wouldn't know. But the spiral of its shell ... you can describe that mathematically. We call it the Golden Ratio, but that I'm sure must exist here, even if it has another name. But it's this pattern that just repeats itself in nature, in the way flowers arrange their petals and like, how bees build their hives. Tons of stuff. And it's just ... I don't know, I love the symmetry and beauty of it.
I'd want to understand nature even if it wasn't beautiful to our eyes, but it is, and I wanted a connection to that for my second piece.
