it's a damn shame bioware doesn't capitalize on the whole Arlathvhen thing. it could be so much fun. you're telling me that a people that meets up to exchange information every 10 years don't all know each other? come on now. just think.

Lavellan: it's a damn shame about Mahariel. Figures she'd sacrifice herself tho, she was always dramatic like that

Varric: you knew the hero of Ferelden?

Lavellan: Oh yeah, she used to spike my drinks with hot peppers as a prank

Varric: ....huh.

--

Lavellan: How's your Keeper?

Dalish: oh I don't know, I've been gone for a few years now

Lavellan: (nodding) do you want me to send a message for Istimaethoriel to pass on?

Dalish: No. Wait.... yeah, no.

--

Lavellan: man. I wonder what Felassan's up to. No one's seen him since the last Arlathvhen

Solas, sweating bullets: damn that's crazy. who's Felassan

Lavellan: oh he was a Keeper, we used to drink together

Solas sweating even bigger bullets: oh haha he was a friend of yours?? damn I hope you find him. crazy stuff

“Therefore am I still A lover of the meadows and the woods, And mountains; and of all that we behold From this green earth; of all the mighty world Of eye and ear, both what they half create, And what perceive”

kt reminded me but I don’t think there’s enough assassination attempts on the herald of andraste. there should be a lot. it should be a weekly occurrence.

lanaya likes wearing things in her hair -- usually it's a halla hairpin, sometimes it's a wolf, or anything related to nature . or something that resembles antler bone. she’s never without something in her hair.

[haludh]

OPEN STARTER [ ANY VERSE, MUTUALS ONLY ] .

" it takes years for seaglass to form, " lanaya muses, turning one of the small pieces in her palm, this one was blue-green in color. " but sometimes it's more than that. hundreds of years ... to make this one, small, almost insignificant piece of glass. and there isn't a single one that's the same. they're all different, different colors, shapes, textures ... all because of the sea and the way its waves move, weathering the glass down -- well, the sand and salt also have a big part in it, it's a group effort !! ... it's beautiful. " she holds the small fragment of glass up, the color lighting up as the sun shines right through it. " isn't it beautiful ? what nature can do ? without the aid of anyone, or anything, even when people try to destroy it ? it … keeps doing its thing and pushing forward. the sea doesn't have to do anything to make sea glass, it happens naturally. but it's sad too, because the sea gives and gives ... and people take. and take. " forests and nature were always being ruined by people — humans, a lot of the time, but not always. and fires; if left alone it could destroy trees who’ve been rooted in the earth for hundreds of years and homes of so many animals. nature was so delicate at times, all it takes is one thing for a domino effect to fall into place. and perhaps, that was true with life in general, not only nature. you could learn a lot from nature, and from the ocean.

[haludh]

i think lanaya's type isn't even someone who's similar to her. the requirement is that they appreciate the things about her and let her talk a lot, don't dismiss her, give her the space to talk about things that are important to her, ask her questions and let her ask questions (if she has them) -- but they don't have to be talkative like she is. they don't have to like the same things she does. they don't even have to love elf/dalish culture -- but there should be an appreciation there for the things she does like. i don't even think they have to have the same morals. similar, probably. they can't be downright evil, anti elves, pro slavery, etc. but they can be morally grey and complex. there are some things she won't budge on, though.

[haludh]

" oh, uhm, " she blinks, golden eyes unfocusing and refocusing on his face. focus on his face. focus on his face. focus on his ... no, not that. " what ... what are you doing? " she knew him, she thought she knew exactly what he was doing but sometimes, even he was a mystery to her.

she clears her throat, " i'm actually perfectly fine ... right over here ... and not wet. " the thought of trying to put her clothes back on while the rest of her body was wet would annoy her for the rest of the day. she also hated being wet and trying to dry off from the sun. but then she looks at him and thinks she'd do anything he asked of her.

the blush started to creep back up again, from her soft cheeks to the points of her ears.

❛   am   i,   now?   my   mistake.   ❜  even   from   the   deep   of   the   pond   as   he   keeps   himself   afloat,   that   green   gaze   of   his   tracks   each   of   her   movements.   the   lowering   of   her   weapon   of   choice   is   a   good   sign   —    something   tells   him   that   her   resolve   is   waning,   even   with   the   looming   threat   of   their   associates   coming   across   their   .   .   .   activities.   ❛   the   sooner   you   join   me,   the   sooner   the   lake   smell   or   otherwise   won't   matter   much.   ❜

perhaps   he   should   up   the   ante. 

drifting   closer   to   the   shallow   end,   he's   floating   less,   now,   and   standing   as   he   steps   up   past   a   boulder   and   grouping   of   underwater   weeds;   fenris   is   fully   aware   that   the   water   sloshes   and   settles   dangerously   low.   in   fact,   he   ensured   it. 

❛   could   just   .   .   .   pull   you   in   myself.   clothes  or  no.   ❜

what tragic death do you suffer?

the prophetic hero.

you die saving the world, as you were always supposed to. peace comes only with your blood. the world will remember you for centuries. they will write poems, create art, and film movies all about you. no one will remember what you were before your death. maybe you don't even know it either. you have spent so long saving the world time after time that there is nothing left of you except the heroism. you die never knowing love.

[haludh]

together, lanaya and fenris are menaces and a danger to society

[haludh]

here's lanaya in datv as of now :

[haludh]

i don't think lanaya has any feelings about spirits prior to dai. typical dalish clans believe there's no such thing as a good spirit ( and given her sisters are mages, she'd have more reason to believe that from their influence ). but i think she thinks of spirits similarly to wild animals -- many animals aren't dangerous unless they're pushed into a corner or caged or you're in their territory. many wild animals have bad reputations due to people forcing themselves in their spaces when all they want is to be left alone.

but it's also something she doesn't know much about, so her feelings on spirits aren't set in stone. there's a lot of curiosity there, she wants to know more, but also ignorance at times. and she doesn't like to pass judgement without knowing more.

[haludh]

“ only sometimes, “ cheeky as ever, he brought that out of her, or they brought it out of each other. that said a lot, given what they were like when the other wasn’t around.

she turned to look at him. why did he always look so .. beautiful? the reflection of the sun on the water around him made it — made him look ethereal. it was hard to concentrate on anything else and all he did was exist.

“ you’re putting words in my mouth, “ lanaya countered. “ and i never said i was suffering. “ and yet, there wasn’t a single complaint leaving her lips, even if one of the others could walk by at any moment. if fenris didn’t seem she care, she’d try not to as well. “ but, lake water probably won’t get rid of the sweat, blood and dirt smell, so i’d continue to suffer regardless, as you said. though lake smell is a big improvement. “ she set her bow and quiver on the ground. she hadn’t yet decided to join him or not, but she was mentally tip-toeing over the idea.

fenris’  reply  only  comes  after  he’s  surfaced  from  beneath  the  glassy  pond  that  encroaches  along  the  perimeter  of  their  encampment.  he  hadn’t  even  given  her  time  to  process  just  what  he  was  doing  before  he’d  stripped  bare  and  leaped  in.   ❛   do  you  take  me  for  one  to  bluff?   ❜

he  understands  how  she’d  assume  such  a  thing.  but  for  once,  fenris  found  himself  nurturing  his  streak  for  mischief.  the  pond  looked  far  too  refreshing  to  pass  up,  even  if  she  did  have  a  giant  tub  waiting  for  her,  with  fancy  soaps,  as  she’d  said  herself. 

and,  well,  her  reaction  wasn’t  much  help  at  deterring  him,  either. 

a  hand  lifts,  carding  his  fingers  through  the  lake-wet  strands  and  brushing  his  eyes  free  of  them;  his  smile  is  evident  in  his  voice.  ❛  your  chambers  are  nearly  half  a  day’s  trek  back  to  skyhold.  far  be  it  from  me  to  suffer  you  the  stench  of  sweat  and  dirt  any  further,  inquisitor.  as  you  so  aptly  put  it.  ❜
