she stared with wide and eager eyes, drinking up the beauty’s every feature,
absorbing every word. chin was placed in her palms, smile upon her lips as
her interest grew and grew with each word which slipped from isabela’s lips.
oh, she was such a skillful story teller. as good as varric– merrill only
wished she was born with such artistry. but no, her skills were burried deep
within her– her kindness; her effortless ability to forgive; and, of course,
her ability to love fully.
merrill giggled, childishly: the very image of a grown man screaming and
naked. oh, now that was a funny image. she gasped in reaction to deepstalkers–
oh, she knew their trouble. how a n n o y i n g they could be.
“ why were they chasing him? ” questioned the dale with wide eyes, interest
shimmering in her amber green hues. “ were they hungry? ” merrill teased,
a sweet ( and perhaps not so innocent ) giggle bubbling from her lips.
SHE WASN’T VARRIC; her tales were
often steeped in far more truth than the dwarf’s and she’d be the first to
admit that she lacked the same air of confidence in telling those stories
when there was a DRINK missing from her grip--------------but the level
of enthusiasm it the little elf’s eyes was payment && gratitude enough
for the tale, no matter what it was. making her smile neve got old.
❛ NO ONE knows, kitten!! sometimes-------------well, most
times in tevinter you learn not to ask questions where questions aren’t meant
to be asked. i can tell you one thing, though, those deepstalkers were
certainly hungry.
hungry for magic sausage. ❜
