Verso just chuckled, shaking his head fondly. He had no intention of getting Rook drunk simply to hear him sing. Especially since Rook was already willing to sing with him.

Although he had to admit to some curiosity, about what Rook singing freely and without a care would sound like. Maybe one day.

The music flows through him easily, and the way their voices meld and harmonize in the air of the lighthouse is almost... magical. More than it usually does, even when he allows his magic to flow through it.

He bumped his shoulder against Rooks, smiling widely as the music faded around them. "Trust me, they're more trouble than they're worth." Of course, he'd never been in any sort of traveling music troupe. Perhaps that would be different.

"Might be alright with you, I suppose," he teased with playful affection.

"Do what you will with that knowlege." Rook replied with a grin. "Just remember I will sober up eventually and will find a way to get you back."

That could be quite the threat considering Rook's playful streak and penchant for chaos.

None of that mattered as Verso began to play and Rook let himself get lost in the music with him. He couldn't sing the words but he had already picked up enough cues to harmonise with oh's and ah's, echo a few line endings.

-- and it's beautiful. The song and melody simple but there's something there, a brightness that fills the space as they sung together. Rook feels a warmth fill him as well, the sense of connecting, truly connecting with someone; not an often occurance for him.

God, does he smile so brightly when they finish, blue eyes sparkling. "We should start a music troupe."

//my doctor gave me an unofficial ADHD screening (which I passed ✌️) but she goes "yeah if you get (insert number) or higher you probably have ADHD" and I went "I mean I think I did but I'll be honest I already forgot how many things I checked off"

She was just like "yeah that probably tells us what we need to know" lmao

The look from the wolf was enough for Jon to know he was on thin ice. Again, not that that had ever stopped him, but it did make him more... cautious, than before.

At least, for the moment.

"Of course not, I-" he paused. "Um, yes, well. Point taken."

He glanced down at the wound in his hand, the thing that had derailed his entire life, made people think he was some sort of... well, Herald. As if Andraste or the Maker, if they even existed, cared about what happened in Thedas. Ridiculous.

"...What is an augur exactly? I've never gotten a straight answer."

One of Agnar's wolves, Vaka, gave Jon a sidelong look, her expressive face perhaps saying it all, though Agnar himself doubted this 'Herald's' ability to see the wisdom in it.

"No." He said simply, shifting in his seat slightly to be able to reach the closest wineskin. "I fight. Healing is for augurs." It was spoken so simply, so matter of fact, with apparently the assumption that Jon knew just what an 'augur' was, or what they did. "If fighting helps The Lady, then it is..." Agnar gave an exaggerated frown, searching for the correct word in Trade, "Happy coincidence."

Most of the Avvar, certainly the ones that Jon would have personally come in contact with, seemed to be on the more spiritual side, or at least gave lip service to such things. Agnar, it seemed, was an exception.

He took a deep drink from his wineskin, catching any stray droplets with the back of his wrist, "Do you do this to please your Maker?"

Julien was more than happy to follow Mel's lead. He'd never been much of a leader himself, truthfully, preferring to go with the flow instead. Not to say he wouldn't stand up for himself if he had to, but the stresses of leadership had never appealed to him.

"Dark Shores? That's where expedition 00 landed, right?" His own expedition had picked a different landing spot. Well. As well as they could, from Lumiere. It was hard to know how the continent had changed, when no one ever came back.

It felt good to climb, at least. It was something else to do, to break up the monotony. And they needed supplies, if they were going to survive out here. Well, if he was going to survive. Mel seemed to have it pretty well in hand.

He allowed her to help him up the last little bit, letting out a sigh of relief. "Not much. I haven't wanted to venture too far, in case I couldn't find my way back. Navigation has never been my strong suit." Evidently, since he immediately got separated from his expedition.

"The stronger Nevrons are probably closer to the Monolith, so we shouldn't have to worry too much about anything new and scary," Mel offered. Of course, there was no way of knowing if any of those Nevrons would decide to migrate southbound. She could only hope none of them knew how to swim.

Looking up, she stared at the top of the cliff, half expecting a new and obscenely challenging Nevron to come crashing down in some wild twist of irony. Nothing. It appeared it'd be an uneventful climb with several places they could rest.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the right cliff I saw all that stuff. It'll beat trying to go to the Dark Shores for the supplies in the ship," she began to scale up the rocky cliff to the next landing, struggling to find handholds that felt secure enough to hold her weight. Reaching the next shelf, she leaned back down to offer her hand for Julien to take. While not the easiest path they could have taken, it did avoid more Nevron encounters. "Have you done much exploring outside the Gestral village?"

Elysia almost couldn't believe her eyes. After everything that had happened, between the circle and Ostagar, she hadn't expected to see a friendly face.

Especially not in the small town of Lothering running from the Blight.

"Vin?" Elysia asked incredulously, when she spotted the Elf. Everyone had always assumed they died, after they left the circle and never came back. She had always secretly hoped that wasn't the case, that they were out there living their life.

It was nice to see maybe she'd been right.

"What are you doing here?"

The Hinterlands were full of refugees, all trying to survive. Between the hole in the sky and the civil war raging in Orlais... well, they were doing their best. And Elysia hoped, at the very least, the inquisition could help them.

This one, however, seemed more lost than any of the others she'd noticed. Elysia tried to catch the young woman's attention, smiling kindly at her.

"Are you alright? Do you need anything?"

Somehow, Elysia had found herself in the thick of things again. As if it wasn't enough to be the Hero of Fereldan, now she had to be the "Herald of Andraste."

She wasn't even sure if she believed in any of that, but she supposed it didn't matter now.

Her mark pulsed gently, signifying a rift nearby. At least, that's what she thought it meant. It had been doing that consistently so far. She wished she knew more about it, but it wasn't like magic anyone had ever seen before. Or at least, none that she'd ever seen before, in her extensive travels.

They crested a hill to find the fade rift, and a young woman trying to fight off the onslaught of demons. Elysia swore, charging into the barrage like she wasn't just a mage.

Finally, thankfully, she managed to close the rift, letting out a sigh of relief before turning to their new friend. "You alright? I'd keep my distance in the future. They just keep spitting out demons until they're closed."

@fatesunwritten asked: ‘  i didn’t ask for any of this so don’t you dare blame this on me.  ’ summer to qrow??

"I'm not blaming you, Summer," Qrow snapped, narrowing his eyes at her. "I'm pointing out the truth. None of us would have been recruited by Ozpin, if not for you."

Maybe it had come out as more of an accusation than he'd meant it. But if Summer wanted to play the martyr, he might as well give her a fucking reason, right?

"Do you think Ozpin would have wanted me or Raven or Tai otherwise? Do you really think that we would have been chosen by him, without your silver eyes?"

Which Tragic Death Would You Suffer?

the sacrifice

you die saving the thing you love. maybe it is family, friends, perhaps even a cause. they will carry your face with them for the rest of their lives, and every milestone they pass will make them think of you. it does not matter because you won't be there to experience it with them. years down the line, they will meet people who do not even know the weight of your name upon their skin. this is what your selflessness gets you in the end.

"How are you handling all this?" Elysia asked, glancing at one of her new travel companions. It was an... odd situation they had found themselves in, but it could have been worse.

They weren't mindflayers yet, so they still had a chance.

"Not... exactly how I was expecting my life to go, personally."
