Under the Bird
@katariisaam
Tay was almost never assigned to meet a new recruit. That was his brothers job. Val, his brother, was the one with the pretty smile and the pretty clothes and the personality that made someone want to join their organization. Tay was the opposite. He was blunt, impatient and he didn’t have the time to speak to people. Despite that, he was requested to meet a new recruit and the Nightingale had given the request. That was enough to peak his interest, but he was still skeptical. There was a Qunari standing beside the small redheaded woman. Their size difference was almost comical. He smiled because of it, and his smile was wide. The man was a tower compared to her and the Nightingale was supposed to be the most frightening force in all of Thedas. He wasn’t diminishing his advisors skill, but it made her look a bit cute. He would never say that out loud. “Inquisitor.” Lelianna moved towards him and practically bowed, but not entirely. He hated it. “Really, Leli. Stop.” “This is Isaam.” She relented. “He has been a great asset to my agents, but I believe he will benefit you more in the field.” Tay sighed. He felt like he was speaking to a piece of paper with her sometimes and he rolled his eyes. “You’re saying this guys gonna be on the field with us, yeah?” He linked arms with the new recruit. “Great timing! It’s late and I needed a new drinking buddy.” “Care to join me?” Maybe he was a bit too direct and forceful, but the bird gave him the jitters and he wanted to get away. Before she could interject, Tay asked the Qunari’s name and unlaced their arms when they were away from the bird. “I’m Tay, mind joining me for a drink? What’s your name anyway?”
