Tagged by some talented people here and what do I do? I abuse their niceness, in a nice way 🖤.

Thanks @fourraccoonsinacoat @aseariel-ocs and @vspin for the tags )).

Not RT, 'cause I got sucked in by DA Sapphic Week and it escalated fast, but I know y'all play this game too. For RT will make a separate post.

Here Brosca is going to petition Great God Pan Falon'Din to release Leliana back onto Thedas.

Big bastard leans forward in his bone chair, skeletal eye sockets seeping menacing interest, like he’s staring at a bug pinned to a board. “Soulless dwarven filth, in the Fade. What crack in the world vomited you here?” Each syllable grates, a metal stylus dragging across glass. “What have you forgotten here, duster?” I want to spit back — to the Blight with you, bronto-skull — but nothing leaves my lips. Behind him, the shadows writhe. His question bends them, wills them into shapes. Antlers. Hooves. Masks stitched from bark and silver thread. Satyrs rutting. Dryads in grass crowns. Wolves rising on hind legs, snouts open in silent howls. Serpents rearing. Dream-things crawling out of the dank corners. All grey. All doomed. Then— a flicker at the edge of the vision. A tongue of scarlet lashes through the haze. Messy blaze of hair, splitting the grey. Leliana. Breath slams back into me, a kick to the ribs.
