“This is too far north for my liking”

“Hm, but it’s good coin nonetheless,” Kahen retorted to his sister, keeping a serious face. Too close to Rivain, but it would be a short job. A minor merchant, though still wealthy, had been desperate to protect their lands from the sudden apparition of beastly creatures after a landslide somewhere near: from the description giving by people willing to answer (or too intimidated by the horned siblings to refuse), might as well be darkspawn. Not many mercenaries took jobs involving the blighted creatures, but with Kash coming along they had fire, and that would be an effective and convenient way to get rid of them.

They left the horses behind, of course: they’d only get frightened, and they needed them to travel back to the southern Antivan cities later so they couldn’t have them fleeing. Better walk the rest of the way, as they were doing now.

“You brought enough potions, I hope. We can’t have you running out of mana here,” the man said, not even looking back as Kashaadi followed.

Send me ❣ for my muse to react to yours pinning them against a wall and kissing them.

Aylen didn’t even have time to realize what exactly happened: just that at one second she was walking casually, and that the next she was firmly pushed against the wall. The impact knocked the air out of her lungs, and she barely had time to take a single breath... When suddenly she felt lips crash against hers.

She didn’t know how much it lasted. She’d been taken by surprise, completely, and did nothing but stay still and very- oh so very flustered. Her cheeks burned red, and only when the kiss was broken she saw...

Eshne.

Well, now she felt as if she might burst right there. Her mind went blank, and Creators know how she managed to remember how to breathe. She just... stared, green eyes wide at the taller woman, and that bright and very obvious blush contrasting with her vallaslin.

Pelle bolted up from his position of the table with a surprised yelp. He had been by himself for–for hours now that he thought about it. The sun had long been set and dusk was upon the castle. Pelle had been in the library laying on the table kept company by stacks upon stacks of books arranged on the table beside him, on the floor beneath, on the shelves surrounding him. 

Four white scentless candles were set about the room as well: One beside his shoulder, one on the banister so that anyone who might come up wouldn't be blind, one on the floor atop a stack of books, and the last sitting at the windowsill to reflect off the glass windows and offer more light to the reading elf. 

Aside from the books and the candles, there were also scattered sheets of paper making stacks of their own, the earlier wind had blown some of them out of place before Pelle had shut the window. Needless to say, the healer had been very busy. He’d been studying on behalf of Solas–or more like per Solas’ recommendation. Solas could be rather–curt when it came to answering questions he felt did not require explanation. Pelle truly believed that Solas didn’t even notice he was doing it, but the older apostate was certainly an open book when he did not wish to be bothered. So Pelle took his questions to Leliana who gave him some ideas as to where to research, gave him permission to use the resources as long as he wished so long as he did not destroy the library in the process. 

Pelle hadn’t necessarily destroyed the library, books and papers were easy to clean up as far as he was concerned. 

When Harlequinn had come up, Pelle had just dropped the book he was holding up onto his face so he didn’t even see when his lover had come up to look for him. The cry of surprise and dull thud to the floor was what alarmed Pelle of his presence. 

Pelle wasted no time to cast his research aside and scramble off the tabletop to offer Harl a hand. Maker he’d been alone for so long that he was beginning to get careless laying down on the table and letting his legs dangle off the edge like he used to do in the trees back home. 

“Ir abelas ma’sa’lath!” the healer cried. 

Back in Skyhold after their Red Templar raiding in the Graves, it had been a few days since their return. A good few days where the Inquisitor and his party and scouts could relax. Harding would be rotating her men and getting more sent out, just to keep the area under the Inquisition’s banner. 

When he saw Harlequinn, Kaaras turned and offered him a friendly smile. It was good to see the man was settling in here. Although... how long had Harlequinn been with the Inquisition? Maker, he didn’t know much about the man at all, did he? And yet in a time like this, he’d put his life and trust in his hands.

“Are you feeling haunted Cicaro? Ghosts are only what you make of them.”

Harlequinn didn’t want to tell his new friend what to do, but he didn’t think the sentiment was a good thing. Chasing ghosts. That sounded…. futile in a way.

“Is there a way for you to stop chasing them? Find someone more solid?”

They nodded silently at the question, arms wrapping around their own slender form as if suddenly cold. 

                “I... don’t know. I don’t even know if ghost is the                  right word for what I mean.”

It was the voices. It was always the voices. They never let Cicaro rest, never let them feel at peace. 

ARE YOU A SELECTIVE ROLEPLAYER? Kinda? Some people make me uncomfortable and I just... Don’t rp with them. I’m by no means popular enough to get the real weird stuff, but... I still am slightly picky over what I do.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MUSE? *points up at the muse thing* I LOVE Amelia, she is my baby. I’ve never run across someone else who has played her and it all started out as kind of an accident but I have  absolutely no regrets been playing her for 2+ years and it has been fantastic learning her and getting used to her. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE FANDOM? If you mean Ace Attorney, it is yet again @valorandgold that dork. I mean, I had played AAI before because I had another friend who  was up talking it a lot and The Sims 3 wouldn’t play on my computer. If you mean Fire Emblem,  well...  had two friends who were really into Awakening and I got curious but I didn’t have a job or the money to buy it so I played a rom of Sacred Stones and loved it. DO YOU SEE YOURSELF STAYING WITH THE FANDOM FOR A LONG TIME? Yes! As salty as the fire emblem fandom is I’ve made friends that I’m grateful for. As for Ace Attorney? Yeah it seems chill no reason to leave.
