“You seem kind of nervous.” — for Finn and vin :3

@luna-mxth

Of course he was. Who wouldn't be their first time? Finn shivered with anticipation, pulling Vin closer. "Aren't you?" He asked uncertain. Lips trailed lightly down their neck, a movement he was quick becoming familiar with. The anxiety in his chest was an odd contrast to the heat pooling in his lower stomach, and he found his pants uncomfortably snug.

One hand fell to Vin's waist, and he felt their hands card through his hair. It was just them. And all night. No expectations, just the need to sneak back into his room before dawn. They shifted, rolling their hips against his arousal and he couldn't help but give a little moan. Maker help him, if that felt good...

It was the little nudge he needed. Hands fumbling, Finn kissed his lover as he helped them out of their shirt before pulling his own off. More kisses were pressed to their chest, and anywhere else he could reach as Vin sat in his lap. Arms wrapped around them, and they both tumbled backward onto the bed, not to get any sleep that night.

"I think the soldiers are well and committed to the 'shoot first ask second' philosophy..."

Tav rubbed the back of his neck, the baby nestled in the crook of one arm. (The boy was so small, it was a miracle he'd survived at all.) "An' he's still small enough he needs milk, right?" Not that he could assume Ashe would know... yes she had nieces, but she wasn't around them all the time. So... he had to assume he was right; halla milk would be better than nothing, either way.

He fell silent, holding the child close to his chest as Ashe performed the rites for the parents. When she added a plea to his creators, Tav nodded, approaching and resting a gentle hand on her back. In what might have otherwise been a poor decision, he lay his own staff down between the bodies. It wasn't the right type of wood, and they were missing one of the relics, but the clan could add those when they buried the two.

"May the gods guide you to their sides," he murmured. "And may you find rest in the All-Mother's embrace."

A soft, shuddering breath escaped, and as Ashe found the bear and brought it to them, his heart somehow found a way to break again. Glassy violet eyes met hers, and he nodded. They'd take the bear with them, clean it up at camp. But then... they'd find him a new one. Gently, he took the bear from her and tucked it into the baby's arms; the child fell asleep quickly after that, almost instantly. Tav's gaze turned back to Ashe, and when he spoke, his voice was barely above a whisper.

"I think we've done all we can for them."

[quiisquiliae]

Ashe watched for a moment as the child settled, comforted by the teddy bear. He seemed more tired than hungry. "He can't have been here long," she murmured. "If he had, he'd be fussing up a storm. I think he was more scared than anything." He looked in reasonably good health too, aside from a bit dirty from where he'd been tucked. No doubt to keep him safe. His parents- if that's who the bodies were- really loved him, that was obvious.

"Come on," she said, helping support Tav as they began navigating the rocky terrain. After all, he was the one carrying precious cargo. "If so, we don't know how long until he starts really getting hungry. And I don't know how much experience you have with babies, but they make their problems everyone's problem really fast."

Ashe started going through what they'd need to do to care for the child. Milk, at least for awhile. Louisa always breastfed her children, although- "Goat milk," She said, looking at Tav. "If we can get a goat somehow, we'll be able to feed him." They had needed to use one to help with the twins once they started needing more than Louisa could produce. "Or- is halla milk the same?" They produced milk too, right?

[quiisquiliae]

Tal, why are you so scared of commitment?

Be nosy, I dare ya

"I'm what now?" He just laughs. "Dunno what you're talkin' about. I mean, my longest relationship's been with my horse 'n I ain't complainin' none. He gives me a whole lot less shit than people do."

[quiisquiliae]

Alaric, what’s up with your beef with Az?

Be nosy, I dare ya

"It's... Just we don't get along well. We never have. He knows what buttons to push to get a rise out of me, and I him. He's supposed to be the one taking over for our father, and yet acts like a child half the time. I don't get it. You'd think by now he'd have more important things to do."

[bushelofmuses]

"Yes, but they said it hurts. Rough and course against their bellies and backs, tearing them apart." The cells screamed as they ripped. He wouldn't want to be ground into a powder either, if he were being honest. It sounded awful, coming from them.

Cole blinked at the water being passed back to him and worried he'd get to much. He wasn't trained for this, although, he'd never learn if he didn't try. That didn't make him less nervous of messing up.

Carefully, he dribbled a little into the powder, mixed it, and then added just a smidge more so it wasn't too thick. He didn't want bread dough, he didn't think. "Like this?"

[quiisquiliae]

"Yes, very good little one," he said, the term of endearment spoken in the old Alamarri language. Cole wanted to be helpful, and there were plenty of ways to do that around the Inquisition. The boy was keen to learn, and quick in picking up practical skills. An asset, as far as Nick was concerned, not one to be feared.

"It needs to be thick enough to not run off when applied, but thin enough to spread easily. Just like you did- add a little water at a time. It is far easier to add water than to take away." There was likely a lesson to be learned in the ground plant. One of pain and discomfort allowing a person to ultimately grow, although come out the other side changed as they fulfill their purpose. But it was enough philosophizing for the time.

"Trés bien," he praised once more, this time in Orlesian as Cole finished mixing the poultice to the appropriate consistency. "Soon you will not need my help with poultices."

DON’T BE SHY, SEND MY MUSE SOME NOSEY ANONS!

ASK ABOUT PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES, ABOUT THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES, WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS, ANYTHING YOU WANT! HIT ME UP WITH QUESTIONS!

[pellelavellan]

Pelle’s expression hardened. He hadn’t forgotten no, though it made the reminder no less unpleasant.

Like many of the horrible encounters he had endured throughout the course of his life, this one too clung to his spirit like a tumor for more reasons than one. If he thought about it too for too long he would find himself right back in that room uselessly batting his fists against his relentless attacker, shouting and cursing him for laying rejected hands on him.

His stomach turned at the memory, recalling the haunting rush of pleasure and desire perspiring from that horrible man while he cursed whatever god had given him the gift to have such a keen sense for the emotions of others.

It had not been the first time he had endured something so dehumanizing, but it had struck him the hardest. An attack that was more than finding one of his people in the wilderness and seeing only an animal at best, something to exploit and abuse for one’s own gain, this one had been a bleak reminder that no matter where it was he stood on this man-made staircase, be it outcast or god, he could still be struck down. Not just could, he would be. It was an attack that commanded him to remember his place lest someone else knock him back down.

And then there had been the murder that followed that had taken a lot of effort to cover up. The whole of the memory made him feel wrecked with shame. The assault and the murder conjoined were like a blight he could not simply wash away and if only briefly he resented Tal for bringing it up.

“I am remaining cautious,” he answered. “And I do not need you to remind me of what I am in these people’s eyes. Should I forget, you may strike me yourself.”

[quiisquiliae]

"Would rather just stab 'em 'n get it over with," Talon grumbled under his breath, glaring daggers at the pair of nobles. it was a slight improvement over actually sticking a dagger in them at least. "Fuckin' stuck up rich assholes who don't give a damn about nothin'-"

On the bright side, his bitching was soft enough to not carry to where the men stood. On the other hand, it was definitely loud enough for Pelle to catch every word, especially with his hearing being better than a human's. Having decided he was the Inquisitor's unofficial bodyguard after the last incident he'd so helpfully reminded Pelle of, the assassin contented himself with silently staring at the pair and toying with the dagger as he leaned against the wall until they were done with... whatever business they may have had. He didn't give a damn. Something boring no doubt.

The second the meeting was over and the door shut behind the nobles, he looked over at Pelle. "I don't know how you put up with that shit."

if anyone draws me anything ever

im going to stare at it

im going to grin like an idiot

i dont care if you think its bad or not

i love it

i love you

[quillsofmelancholy]

She wasn't the gentle kind, though there were glimpses of a more nurturing nature since she had become a mother. She did not want her son to feel the same way she felt as a child. Burdened with obligations and taken away from what love really meant. What a true heart really meant.

She lifted a hand up. "Don't come any closer or I'll leave." she warned. "Do you know what this is ? " she pointed behind her. "It took me much to open this portal, one use only. Come closer and I'll leave, and this time, you won't be able to find me." The threat was like an empty bark. Working truly only on outsiders. To him, he could hear the doubt in her voice and see the longing in her eyes. Maybe a hint of fear. He had much knowledge and hold on her still, that is what happened when you let someone love you the way they loved each other.

To ease the tension of the moment, she knelt down. "come here girl. " She called Lady to her. A softer smile on her features as the beast came to her. She did not think she'd bond with that creature, but she did, and like many things, did also miss her. A scratch and happier bark later, she stood up again."Why did you come? We had a deal, a deal you are now breaking, what are you hoping to gain by coming here now ?"

[quiisquiliae]

He stopped as she asked. While there were times to press, there were also times to respect her boundaries. This? This time was certainly the latter. Especially as she mentioned it was a portal to- somewhere.

Lady for her part, came when called, sitting and resting her head on Morrigan's knee for a brief moment. She gave gentle licks to Morrigan's arm as she was able to reach in return for the pets and scratches, not being one to show over exuberance. When Morrigan stood, she sat quietly, looking up with big brown eyes before looking over to Finn with a happy grin and bark.

Finn couldn't help but smile, even with the accusation. "If you didn't want to be found, you wouldn't have let me," he reminded her gently. Of that, he had no doubt. "I missed you vhenan," he repeated once more. Everything else was secondary. "And I was hoping to meet our child- if you were alright with it."

He stood, hands clasped behind his back- an old habit from his younger days, and one he still defaulted to- and looked at the glowing portal behind her. It was unlike anything he'd seen before, and if it were magic, well. Morrigan would certainly know something about it.

"An eluvian!" he could hear Ariane whisper excitedly behind him, and he stopped twisting the ring to gesture for her to be quiet.

"Where does it go?" He asked, gaze shifting back to her, genuine curiosity in his voice. "I've never seen anything like it before."

i'll explain everything. please come back inside.

i hate this just as much as you do.

[luna-mxth]

Norrim was determined to make the First Warden listen by any means necessary... and that probably meant taking a Warden to vouch for her claims. After all, even if Talon and the First Warden hated each other, neither could deny a Warden's sense of the blight. As the two walked, Norrim would reach down ever so often to scratch the old dog between the ears, and at least once when he got sidetracked, she leaned over to plant a kiss on top of his fuzzy head.

The mood very obviously changed as they neared the Cobbled Swan. Something about meeting the wardens seemed to put him on edge.

"They may not like you, but you're a Warden," she reasoned, "If you say there's a Blight, then they have to believe you. And you hate them! There's no reason for you to lie, and no reason to meet with them if it isn't serious!"

[quiisquiliae]

"They also think I'm batshit crazy." Which. Might be a little bit true. Ignoring orders and going on a perceived suicide mission to drop a building down an abandoned mineshaft that was vomiting darkspawn was probably not something a sane man would do, but... It worked, didn't it?

But no, there had been nary a 'thank you' to be seen, only accusations of insubordination (accurate as they may be) and threats to get out or get locked up and the key thrown away. In some fairness, it wasn't the first time Talon had blatantly ignored orders because he thought they were dumb nor mouthed off.

All the more reason for him to not be there currently.

"They're gonna think you're just as crazy as me. Especially if they realize you're my kid."
