She catches on to the way his tone shifts slightly and how genuine he sounded. Doubt that had once painted a grim picture over his form slowly faded away, leaving behind nothing more than the visage of a gentle giant. Once she could grow to somewhat trust. For now. Lune keeps her distance still, but the expression on her face is more contemplative than anything else. 

“ Not as strong...but you still have strength then Or some kind of power? The Nevrons don’t bother you? ” It’s the inquisitive part of her that slowly takes over, the need to dissect and understand the problem in front of her. A relic of her past, the desire to know of the world that cracked around them. The legacy her parents and siblings left behind for her - and for those that came after. “ Do they avoid you ? Or do you avoid them, I saw so many before I was split from my group...” 

Her voice trails off, her thoughts still running rampant, before she tilts her head slightly. There’s a split moment of hesitation before she speaks again, less certain but committed all the same. “ Do you..have to stay here? Or do you want to? Esquire joined us...if we can find my friends maybe you could join us? ”

"Esquie...!" Ingvar whispers, levity in his voice and a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. "I have been meeting of him. He is most kind, and very strong," he nods, "But... I cannot be flying like him, and... I am not being so strong as he."

A frown creases the skin between his brows, and he tilts his head with a small hum of thought. But he remains put, not daring move closer as she backs away. The very last thing the giant wishes is to cause her to feel cornered, or, indeed, frightened. If she needs keep a distance to maintain some semblance of calm, then so be it.

"Hence, whether I am being like him... I am not being certain. For... I am having such differences. Oh, but— I-I am being friendly, like him. Unlike gestrals, I... I am not wishing to be fighting; I am not... enjoying it. Is this... causing me to be being like him, hrm?"

[perditus]

To his credit, he only looks slightly embarrassed by her response, chuckling nervously and averting his gaze for a second. Just long enough to recollect his wit amidst the tiredness that ebbs away at his energy. Not from discomfort though - if anything, he imagined he made her uncomfortable. Former or not, his templar training had not left him fully.

Even if he wished it would - along with that painful addiction that also chipped away at his willpower. At the moment it was easy to ignore, but he imagined soon enough it would drive him mad. Hopefully he would withdraw to sleep by then. 

“ Good then, I wouldn’t wish for you to be uncomfortable. I can imagine the unfamiliarity is daunting enough as is ” Cullen does his best not to allow pity to invade his gaze. As tempting as it was, they were both formidable in their own rights. To pity her was a disservice as far as he was concerned. Though he could not help but wish for the weight that sat on her shoulders to be lifted if only for a moment. “ Especially when one has so many eyes on them. People tend to cling to an idea when the world is crumbling around them. Excessively so at times, though I can understand why ”

He understood it too familiarly really. Another chuckle leaves him, but this time it's lacking in the nervousness from before, genuine amusement in his words as he responds. “ I do not dislike your presence but I do hope you’re able to sleep soon. That being said, if I may be curious for a moment - what does Fenedhis mean? ”

“Resting isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. We can't have you passing out of exhaustion the moment we face our enemy!” It's not like she's trying to chastise the man, just…

She looked actually worried.

“Oh. Uhm. Maps were never my thing. No no don't change your approach, the others help me - I'll learn, I swear.” She was a bit sheepish at that, but truth be told, she had never needed maps before. 

When he spoke of her furnishings, Samahla looked baffled. She was trying hard not to smirk. “Commander, no, no there isn't such a thing as too comfortable, I was just joking! It's perfect, truly.” Far too much for what she's had before, but that couldn't make things worse at all. “I was just making an excuse. No, it's just. Everyone's expecting me to be much more than what I really am. And I don't know if I can live up to the expectation.”

Samahla eyed him curiously about the other reason, but she wouldn't pry. It might be invasive. “Yeah, it does make sense… I know the feeling. I think. Fenedhis, knowing the feeling is probably why I was even awake to see your lights on at all.” Big honey-colored eyes watched him, considering the human wall of a man. Somehow, knowing that he had flaws and troubles reassured her - she needed to know she had people around her, and that she wasn't failing them by having flaws of her own.

Wariness lingers behind her eyes, the young woman scrutinizing everything from his movements to the tone he uses. They’ve lost too much as is for her to fall here to a moment of misjudgement. Still, he is different than they are for sure, and she doesn’t sense any hostility from him. It’s enough for her to relax a little, though she remains on high alert. 

Just in case. They weren’t the only ones lost in this forest. 

“ Okay...so you’re not a nevron. Not a gestral...” her voice trails off for a moment, confusion settling in slowly. Lune takes a few steps back, leaves crunching beneath her feet as she puts just a little distance between them.  “ are you like Esquie ? Have you met Esquie ?” 

He listens and watches closely, lest any of the nevrons should ambush one or both of them. They are terrible, merciless creatures for what they do to the poor humans who pass through. All the same, he and his racing heart would very much prefer that this human not attack him either. The wind bats at his long, dark hair, as though bidding he get on with it.

"I— I-I am no nevron," Ingvar stammers. His gaze nervously darts from her hands to her face, and he swallows, trying to rid of the lump of worry in his throat. Would she be furious with him for his answer? Would it prompt her to attack? Would she perhaps believe him lying, or deceitful?

"But... I do not know what I am, only that... I was created. And, hence... now being."

There’s a pause after her words, his brows furrowing slightly. He opens his mouth as though to say something but nothing comes out, indecision clear on his face. For once his mind urges him to consider before he speaks, a sentiment he rarely agrees with. This time feels different though. 

“ What is your definition of great again? I don’t think we’re on the same page here ” Alistair finally quips, exasperation clinging to his words. “ You really think this is a good idea? ”

His ears twitch slightly as he crouches down, tucked away behind a bit of barely-alive foliage. One hand rests against the tree trunk nearby, the other held close to his chest as he waits silently. In the distance the howling of darkspawn reverberated through the darkness, piercing the thick atmosphere as though it were a knife. Even as relatively safe as they were, the blight always watched. 

“ Un moment, s'il vous plaît “ he whispers before they can speak for the first time, patiently waiting for the results of his little experiment. His tests aren’t as accurate as he’d like - it should have gone off by now - but eventually he smells the hint of smoke. Moments later, an explosion rocks the area, the ground trembling from the sheer force. Antoine ducks his head down to avoid the splatter of rot and decay that's propelled everywhere, a heavy sound indicating the door to the small watchtower had also been knocked away. 

Antoine waits for everything to die down, focusing on the blight’s song for just a second. Only when he’s none approach yet does he grin, eyes flickering over to them with a smile. 

“ I have been testing a few concoctions as of late...the timing is a little off though ”

Amakos’s tattoos actually span their entire body. They’re a fully workable star map for navigational purposes. It uses a special ink that actually reacts and glows when they’re using magic but doesn’t offer any actual benefits. Just looks neat. It also glows when they’re possessed by a spirit.

Every single piece of jewelry Taash wears has a story to accompany it. It all has a meaning. The best story is the one of their crystal horn but each of the piercings also have small stories to accompany them. Taash actually loves telling stories. It’s one of their favorite things to do over some alcohol or a snack. I think I’m also going to pick out one of their armor sets as a default because they have different piercings. And I’d like to give them all a proper story to associate them with.

Bethany Hawke

Bethany’s relationship with magic is rather complicated. No, she doesn’t believe any mage is inherently evil nor does she think they should be locked away forever. She doesn’t hate other mages nor does she necessarily hate herself. However, she is hyper-aware of the fact that her magic has been a burden to her family. That it has hurt people and forced them to move from their home to Lothering. It’s always been a source of shame for her to be, what she believes, the reason for their constant moving and the effort made to hide her from the circle. 

Prior to awakening her magic, Bethany was a little more rowdy and boisterous than she was post-incident. She was bright, cheerful and a little more on the tomboyish side than she is now. Bethany liked roughhousing and just having fun. She used to get into little bits of trouble for being too energetic. Afterwards, she was pretty quiet and reserved for a while but eventually found a sort of middle ground between the two. She was, however, more prone to staying quiet and not causing trouble than before. It does show itself in the snarky comments she’ll make every now and then. She’s also not above teasing her siblings ruthlessly - though more Carver than Hawke since she admires Hawke.  

Her magical talents are actually quite incredible. She is a force mage with extreme control and enormous raw power. Bethany’s potential is really only tempered by her own reservations, akin to a mental block placed on herself to prevent her magic from hurting anyone else. Her confidence begins to grow during the course of the Kirkwall events, eventually leading to her blossoming into a powerful mage. By the time the Kirkwall explosion has passed, she’s mastered her talents but is still mindful of control. She isn’t as willing to step aside and attempt to hide like before though - if the Maker gave her magic it was for a reason. And they shouldn’t be punished for the Maker’s gifts.

She’s sympathetic to Anders and understands why he made his choice. She doesn’t condone it entirely, but accepts that it was the breaking point that was inevitable. Tensions between the Templars and Mages had been boiling over for years and something had to give. 

Bethany was closer to Carver in certain ways, but she admired Hawke greatly as their older sibling. Carver was someone she trusted she could confide in more however. It was a little more personal between them while her feelings with Hawke were not. Obviously they’re siblings and she loves them all equally, it just is different with her and Carver versus her and Hawke. She respects Leandra and Malcom equally for the most part, though felt she could never meet Malcom’s expectations entirely. She believes him to be the stronger mage of them all.

She waits for permission before slowly reaching her hand out, just a little hesitant at first. A humorous situation given the enemies she often faced behind closed doors. Demons with malicious magic lashing out at them - the same kind that slowly crept up her skin. Yet here was a friendly creature that somehow made the singer nervous for just a moment. Until her hand is placed down on the bridge of his nose. 

Whatever tension had briefly built up slowly fades as she runs her hand gently down his face, careful to avoid his nostrils and eyes in the process. Her smile softens a little, gaze watching him as she pets him. “ I can tell. He’s very sweet. I guess I’ve read too many stories about horses biting people ” 

Rumi’s eyes dart to the side back to her, unable to contain the way her face suddenly falls. A flash of annoyance slips into her gaze, the singer pulling back her hand with a heavy sigh. Leave it to them to somehow manage to ruin her mood even when they weren’t here. “ They’re bad news. You shouldn’t listen to their stuff, they're not good people ” It’s all she can say - their identities as demons couldn’t be revealed. Nobody in their right mind had any reason to even believe her. Though it probably made her seem petty. “ I guess it's a rivalry...but I don’t like them. And we’re going to defeat them. Like, you’ve had rivals before yeah? ”

"Oh yeah sure, go for it," Stevie smiled, "He's a real sweet fella, loves everyone," unless you were a man of course... She never understood why he was not a fan of any men, but he was alright with women and children. Just a big, gentle giant he was.. She'd just leave that last part out for now.

Lüz's ears pinned forward as he looked at Rumi, taking a step towards her and stretching his neck out towards her, letting out soft, curious nickers to her, welcoming any petting from her.

Stevie smiles, watching the stallion's curious but friendly display before looking to Rumi, "Since y'all were 12 years old, huh? That's a long while... But I can see all that practice paid off. Y'all are amazin' up on that stage," she hums, hooking her thumbs into her belt as she continues to lean back against the fence.

"So, uh.. I did want t'ask, since I've been seein' it circalatin' around an' all... What's with them Saja Boys? Been seein' them gain momentum quite.. quickly since I've been over 'ere on toppa some tension between y'all an' them assa late. What's goin' on with that?"
