It's been a while since I've talked about any of my da babies. Guess one fact about my Lavellan siblings is that they both have the same sense of humour. When Kyne and Sera go around pranking everyone, Akinlana has to really try to compose himself, even laughing when he's the one being pranked. He also, may or may not have been a silent accomplice in some. What amuses your characters? Or what's their favourite joke and/or prank?

I think you should talk about your babs more, they sound like good babs

Now, Sera became something like a little sister to Adam. A very persuasive little sister who often talked him into getting up to mischief with her, because her strategy to accuse him of being no fun proved to be pretty effective. While he willingly lets her drag him into her shenanigans, he tries to keep her from going too over the top and doing anything that would create any unneeded tension between Inquisition members. But somebody getting a pie in the face sometimes is pretty funny, even if that person might be him sometimes.

It’s also probably easier to list what he’s not amused by. Jokes that are terrible at least get an amused little snort just because of how terrible they are. Silly observations the others make in the field also get their own snirts. Adam’s pretty easy.

You referred to everyone in that ask, so I’ll give a rundown of the others: The girls aren’t quite so easily amused as our Lord Inquisitor here, but Shaelyn can be caught off guard by particularly clever puns and wordplay, and Thergwen can totally lose it at a well-timed (usually raunchy) joke here and there.

Part of why Jarath’s token animal is the jackal is because of their mythological role as tricksters, but he’s actually not much of a prankster himself. He’s just also easily amused and never lets a potentially funny comment go to waste. Even if he’s the only one who finds it funny.

OC Kiss week (so late)

Vallas (and the gang) and Nin @foxoftheglade

Vallas, Dak, Agui and Hesire are on a mission and run into Nin and Zev after the Blight has ended. 

“I don’t wish to alarm you, my dear warden, but we appear to have guests.” Zev said whilst poking his head through the tent flap. He did’t sound alarmed, more amused. After last night he truly wasn’t ready to rouse himself this early in the morning, they had been traveling along the Frostback mountains for a few weeks now and had decided to enjoy some frivolities they hadn’t been able to indulge in recently.

“What are you talking about?” Nin sat up, running hands through his mussed hair, attempting to wake himself enough to think of a reason for such an event. When none came to mind he decided for a head on approach, though he'd much rather stay curled up in the warm tent, standing he got ready to confront whoever was outside. When he stepped out of the tent he did not expect to see what he did.

Three imposing looking Qunari and an elf who was scrubbing furiously at her helm, with a look in her eye that she was about to kill someone. They were all covered head to toe in blood, gore and an unidentifiable slime. One of their party was being helped to the ground gently by the one with ashen grey skin and luminous eyes, they winced every time they moved their leg. Soft mummers were coming from the group as they gathered by the fire, still glowing with soft embers from the previous night.

At a loss for words Nin looked to Zev, who just shrugged and smiled. Ever helpful.

“Your bed head is really cute.” Nin whipped his head so fast he thought it might snap. One of them has wandered over, smiling kindly at the two elves, a twinkle in his eye and a request on his lips that was quickly snubbed.

“What are you doing in our camp?” He snapped, unconsciously running a hand over his hair. The Qunari looked taken aback but his smile was still genuine.

“Oh, yes, sorry. It’s very rude of us, and I apologise. But we saw your fire and needed help after we had a bit of an issue with spiders. I’m Vallas, by the way.” He held out his hand for a few seconds, then thought better of it considering the blood that dripped off the tips of his fingers. “We’re very sorry to bother you but Hasire desperately needs a healing potion if you happen to have one spare.” That smile was there again, and now he was ringing his hands like a child who was caught stealing sweets. Nin assessed them, they seemed harmless enough, but he knew that this could be a trick or a trap. Knowing Zev wasn’t going to be any help, he squared his shoulders at the Qunari, they looked at one another and that damn smile was still on his lips.

“That’s fine my friend, we have several spare if you need more.” Zev said as he sauntered over with a small pack of potions. Vallas squeaked with joy, thanking Zev profusely before taking them over to Hasire and offering it to them, leaning down to help make them more comfortable. Nin didn’t see the rest of their exchange because he was now glaring at Zev.

“He’s right, you do have cute bed hair.” Zev said casually. “I heard a ruckus a few hours ago and went to find out what was going on, they had been ambushed by spiders in the cave to the north. They followed the light of our fire. I’m sure they're harmless, and if not, then we kill them. No worries mi amore. I woke you so you wouldn’t stumble out completely naked and scare them away” Zev was now standing close running his fingers through white locks, calming him, but he still grumbled about being woken.

“I still want you to keep a close eye on them.” He said, Zev just waved and nodded as he walked over to the dying fire so he could start making breakfast.

~ ~ ~

An hour later, when everyone was washed and fully dressed, the group sat around the fire sharing food that was salvaged from the attack. It was a mix of fruits, dried meats, cooked eggs and porridge all kindly received and happily distributed. They sat around the fire in silence eating. Agui, the elf with the long red hair and a murderous look in her eyes, was sat on Daks lap. His luminous eyes watching Vallas massage Hasire’s newly healed leg. They were all leaning on each other in one way or another. They started muttering among themselves, too quiet to be heard from the other side of the fire. When Nin raised a questioning eyebrow, Zev shrugged and continued to eat his apple as if there wasn't a care in the world.

“We can’t thank you both enough for helping us, I truly don’t know what we would have done if we hadn’t found you!” Vallas said, breaking the silence. He was smiling again as they each said thank you.

“That quite alright, you were in quite a state, and we couldn't turn you away.” Zev being ever so cheerful as he picked up the scattered plates and came round to give Nin a soft kiss. All of a sudden Agui was on her feet and heading straight for Zev with her hand on her weapon, un sheathing the massive sword. Nin instinctively reached for his bow, ready to slaughter them if they made a move to attack. He was shocked when she put the sword standing in the ground, went up on her top toes and kissed Zev on the cheek. He chuckled, saying something in her ear that earned him a punch on the arm, he continued to laugh merrily as he nursed the bruise that would surely form. Then she was in front of Nin. The same thing happened - sans punch, luckily. Vallas, Dak and Hesire were on their feet in no time heading to Zev, who welcomed them with open arms and lively laughter, each gave him a kiss on the cheek. Vallas pulled him into a bear hug and spun him round before bringing him over to Nin, who at this moment didn't really know what to do and why they were suddenly kissing and hugging like old friends.

“Aha, my friend, were just thanking you for being so kind. Augi, you see, she doesn't really know how to say thank you, but she knows affection. And its so wonderful to see you both blush.” Vallas was squeezing him tight and Zevran was laughing next to him, catching him as the hulking Qunari released him from the hug. The others were retrieving their packs and heading off without another word, Augi leading the way.

“I best be off, it was lovely to meet you both!” His smiling face disappeared as he jogged to catch up with the others.

“Next time we have ‘guests’ leave me in bed would you. Or better yet, put out the fire so we don’t pick up strays.” Sarcasm was thick in Nin’s voice but he was smiling when Zev kissed him softly on the lips.

“No more strays, we’ve done enough of that mi amore.”

Right okay, this was fun to write but its so hard to write other ocs! I hope he was kinda in character, I read all the stories with him in to get the vibe and stuff but he feels a little OOC (but he was hungover and very sated so idk) :P But I hope you like this fox! And hope school is going okay <3

For the ask @foxoftheglade sent me! thank you so much I really appreciate it!! -------------- 1. What does their bedroom look like? Py: At Skyhold it’s a mess, or more like organised chaos. All the stuff he immediately needs, like clothes and his horns, are in the chest at the end of his bed. Everything else is either in a pile on his desk, outside on the balcony or on the floor in piles. It’s usually because when he comes to sleep he just drops everything and collapses on the bed, when he wakes up he gets to work with looking through papers - throws a fit and then goes to find something to do, or look for a place to go and hide (easier said than done). When he starts a relationship with Dorian they move to sleep in his room, and just use Pys as a place to work, this means the mess subsides and when he needs to get to work on the reports Dorian will come up with him and just sit, either doing his own research or going through the work Py needs help with. Revas: His room looks odd at Skyhold, there is a tent on the balcony, papers are on the floor with his writing work (all neat and organised) and there are colourful tapestries hanging up haphazardly. He likes sleeping outside and set up the tent so he could see the sky whilst hiding under furs to keep away the cold. He does his work on the floor where he can stretch out on pillows to file reports and sign documents. There is a bed indoors and it is only used when he and Dorian are together (he refuses to sleep out in the cold but will come and lie in the tent with Revas when they cuddle) Vallas: His room is spotless, everything is in its place and organised. He makes his bed everyday, will strip the sheets and leave them for the servant’s to talk away. It took weeks to get them to just leave the new ones so Vallas could put them on. He likes the act of cleaning, it calms him. —————- 17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress Py: He used to mainly wear light robes or light work clothes when growing up, then when he traveled he had a cloak and walking clothes, after he came to haven he had to wear light leather armour due to loosing his healing. Now he just wears whatever will keep him alive and warm. His reinforced glove and oxyn horns are always part of his armour set. He has no sense of style and fashion, clashing colours are normal for him! Revas: Again he has either only worn robes or light armour, when he was a slave he wore white robes with gold thread. He chose light leathers when he got to haven but enjoys indulging in fashion, making sure he looks the part, it makes him feel more confident. When the Danish keeper gifted him with robes he wore them as a badge of honer from his people. Vallas: He often wore leather trousers a light shirt with a leather jerkin over it, very light and easy to wear. Matched with his white scarf he always looked very well dressed even in armour. He enjoys wearing skirts round Skyhold because they are comfortable, after getting odd looks he became self conscious about it but Dorian assuaged him saying that they suit him, even going to Val Royox to buy him more (rather than the simple brown one he had). —————– 22. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil and nothing to do, what would happen? Py: He would draw, it would start as sketches of plants or animals, then a small landscape and eventually work his way to filling every blank space with anything he could think of. He’d smile and pin it up somewhere in his mess of a room and look at it when he felt stressed. Revas: He’d probably try some kind of origami like he had seen made by one of his clans men. He would fail miserably and end up with a screwed lump of paper that he’d throw about and try to catch. Vallas: Oh no, given paper he would fill it with his observations from the day, maybe a poem or some notes to himself. He would write until the paper was full, maybe a few stick men at the side or games of tic tac toe. ——————– 33. Concept of home and family? Py: If asked this he’d close himself up like a shell. He would mumble about not having anything left. Everyone is gone. But if Dorian were near he’d just look at him, hoping his eyes would convey what he thought. “Family is anyone I love, and any one I love is home. My friends, my memories, my lover. They are my everything” Revas: “My clan, they are my family and my home. Nothing more nothing less.” Vallas: “I have many in my family. Once I would have said that it was my clan, my mercs, my people. But now I know it is anyone I love, truly and deeply.” *Sera making gagging noises and Val throwing a pillow at her until she breaks into a fit of laughter* “My home is wherever I am, and hopefully my family are with me. I wish to see my clan and my merry band of misfits again, they are brothers and sisters alike. But I’ve made new friends now, so home is here.” —————— 39. What recharges then when drained? Py: He used to crave being alone, even when he was with Niy’aar. But now he learnt that it is silence that recharges him, being able to sit and free his mind from its nattering. Reading is a good escape and one he has come to enjoy again, as well as drawing or painting. But it is the silence that helps him the most. Revas: Working hard, he has to exhaust his body and his mind. Running or hitting things. Or he’ll go and help in the stables and muck out Par. They recharge him after he falls asleep. But it’s getting to the point of exhaustion that allows him to go on. Vallas: Being able to sit and immerse himself in writing. Compiling his thoughts and getting everything out of his head. —————- 48. How do they express love? Py: He finds it hard to express love. Very hard. It was Niy’aar who took the reins in their relationship, starting each encounter. The first to touch, first to kiss, first to hold. He guided Py with his feelings, and once used to it he would start asking for the affection. Then it grew, any private time they had together Py would look into his eyes and kiss him. Try to get what he was feeling across to them. When he became close to Dorian he did the same, it was intense for both of them. Because Py couldn’t express it in words he would do it by his touch. Revas: The awkward little man he was meant that he didn’t really know what to do with his feelings. His first show of affection to Dorian was a small wooden carved snake left on his bookcase. That didn’t go down well, Dorian thought he was being mocked. Revas then tried a stallion rearing up, that was met with confusion. Cas said to try flowers, instead Dorian sat on the prickly rose and crushed it. Eventually they fall into a relationship after meeting Dorian’s father and Revas explained his terrible flirting methods. But gifts from then on were greeted better, and now Dorian has beautiful carved bookends and a collection of small ducks on wheels. Vallas: Poetry, the sappy fool writes it and appreciates it. He would write his friends, random scouts and his council many different poems. He saves his most beautiful ones for Dorian.

foxoftheglade replied to your post “Quick who would you guys like to see me use for the 30 day challenge??”

I was going to pick then a realized it's nearly impossible... I personally chose my warden because a) he's the first in the series of oc's and b) he was the first full profile I had on my page...

Hmm that may not be a bad idea actually...idk it’s hard to pick just one, and there’s no way I’d be able to do this more than once lol
