I ran a free clinic for years, and still, I don't find myself all that redeemed. So maybe I should have taken payment. Then I could have gotten new boots at least.
As in doctor work. I'm a Spirit Healer. Magical healing isn't exactly legal, so I couldn't work openly anyway - and none of the refugees had money to pay with even if I had asked. Trade in kind and protection from the authorities were good enough.
[ THE SEWER EXPERIENCE .......... ander's boots are very worn, and on one of them the straps are broken enough at the top he's got a bandage wrapped around the knee to keep it tied up. that said he could easily just get new boots here, and simply hasn't. ]

You helped refugees? ... I think you could save some of that praise for yourself.
I think out of all of us, only Varric was from Kirkwall. Hawke was a Ferelden blight refugee, along with his family. There were so many, and someone had to help - if only a little. I'd seen what the Blight had done.

Fine. New shoes. It just takes forever to break them in ...

It's okay. Having something to do is good.
You can think of it like charity, or volunteerwork. Good stuff for redemption maybe.

And treat yourself to new shoes, maybe.

Going on a jog will break them in fast. But you can also beat them up a little on purpose to make them softer.

Jogging, my favorite hobby. I love running in circles going absolutely nowhere.

It also is good to get the blood pumping.
