A Gentle Hand

The hardest part of being an outcast, isn't the love you don't receive. It's the love you long to give that nobody wants. -- Jodee Blanco

Reflection.

 The chasind sits on their knees, arms outstretched to the sun. They rock gently and rhythmically, moving to the long silenced beat of their clans drums. Their lips are cracked, their ribs show from the ravages of a long fasting session. Symbols are written in charcoal dust all over their body, holy runes dedicated to their gods. Sparrow’s eyes are closed, their face placid as if the were in slumber.

 They drop their arms and curl their body forward so that their  forehead touches the earth beneath them. Prayer passes past their lips in their native tongue like water flows from a spout. There is no falter, a natural fluidity that comes from ingraining the words of their prayer so deeply it feels etched in their very bones, soaked into their marrow.

 There’s a soft thrum of magic, the smell of electricity in the air accompanying it. Sparrow rises, their face is stoic and their cheeks ruddy.

      “Leig le Clann an Sionnach a dhol gu clos.”

 They look so incredibly tired, their shoulders slump for a moment. Their fatigue making the crows feet accenting their eyes more apparent, their laugh lines look a lot more like scars of sorrow than proof of past joy.

 Sparrow returns to their earlier position on their knees, this time tucking their feet under their bottom and hands in their lap as they settle into silent meditation. An odd site just out of Skyhold, but the guards had long since grown used to the Chasind healers antics.

 There’s the distinct sound of footsteps upon dead grass and for a moment Sparrow feels a rare streak of irritation at whomever is disturbing them right now.

      “It is not good to sneak up on someone in meditation.”

 They cracked a single red rimmed blue eye open, their gaze turning upon the person breaking their time of reflection.

Out Of Herbs;

{{ Honestly, Sparrow would conscript the mages so that they may repay their land for their crimes. The Chasind grow up raised on the very idea that everyone (mages or no) serve their community to the fullest. To see that these mages took over friendly Redcliff, drove out their people and let in a Tevinter Magister... Well that just cannot stand, there are consequences to harming a community so and the party at fault must make amends.
