“Rocky! Give Morrigan back her staff!” Kamen wheezed, laughing as his Mabari sprinted through the camp, magical staff of twisted wood clamped between his powerful jaws. Next to him, Zevran chuckled. “Amor, who do you think will catch him first? The Qunari, the Templar, or the Witch?”

Suddenly, there was a clattering and squelching sound, indicating that either Sten or Alistair had slipped into mud in full armor, followed by a mighty roar as Morrigan transformed into a bear. Before Kamen could be too concerned for his dog, the ground shook ferociously, knocking everyone to the ground.

“It should learn not to steal from its companions,” Shale scolded the dog, picking up the staff and tossing it at the bear.

Kamen Aeducan never had any interest in ruling Orzammar. In fact, had Bhelen spoken to him at all about such things, he probably wouldn’t have needed to frame Kamen for Trian’s murder. As it happens though, Kamen wouldn’t change a thing. Had Bhelen not framed him for the murder, he would never have been exiled, made a Warden, been nearly assassinated, and fallen in love with his would-be assassin.

Funny how things work out, eh? Kamen certainly thinks so.

I’ve been debating what to write about for this @dapolyshippingday, especially since work this week was brutal and I’m still  not mentally or physically recovered, but I thought I’d share some meta on the relationship between Tyrling Aeducan and Zevran Arainai.

Tyrling and Zevran have an open polysexual relationship. They’re not polyamorous, but only because it’s very difficult for either of them to let someone in... much less to let another person in. Their open relationship is just... what it is. There’s no expectation for monogamy; group sex excites them, and neither of them see any reason to stop their flirtatious ways when they are apart.

When they part ways for Awakening, Zevran is the one to broach the subject - to ask Tyrling what his expectations for their relationship are. If it were up to Tyrling he’d never discuss anything... well, ever... which likely contributes to their inability to find someone else to be a permanent member of a polycule.

Add to it their flirtatious nature (though Tyrling is awful at flirting and has no clue), the fact they actually enjoy what they do and would never be interested in being still for too long, and their love of ridiculous puns and light-hearted shenanigans... and really, the best fit for them would be Iron Bull. The Iron Bull and his tiny (not quite) husbands.

Have a snippet from my thus far unpublished collection of drabbles/scenes about my recent Origins run with Tyrling Aeducan.

They had been walking in silence for longer than was comfortable, Duncan leading his horse rather than riding it. Tyrling was grateful for that. He'd have to get on a beast once they make it to the next human settlement and Duncan purchased one for him, but he wasn't ready for that when his head was spinning like he'd drunk too much ale at Tapsters; Duncan was also saving him the humiliation of riding behind the other man.

He had been trying not to think about the massive expanse of sky above him, but he wasn't sure what else there was to talk about given that nothing from before he walked onto the surface felt safe enough to talk about.

He cleared his throat. "Always heard tale the sky was blue," he commented casually.

"It is," Duncan replied.

Tyrling wondered if maybe in the weird light colors looked different, or if maybe one of the hits to the head he'd taken from a hurlock had done more damage than he'd thought. "Huh. Looks more… gray, to me."

"Those are clouds," the human responded with a chuckle. "It's an overcast day."

"Clouds. Right. Heard about those. There's… what is it… a sun, too? And a moon?"

"Two moons," Duncan corrected, "but we rarely see them both at the same time. There's also stars. Hopefully tomorrow the clouds will clear, and you can witness your first sunset."

"Are those special?" he asked.
