So triggering Zevran's romance with Kyana is interesting because it does require you to flirt back at least once, and I've been playing her as very aloof up until this point.

...however, after Broken Circle there is the fact that she kind of doesn't know who she is anymore. A lot of her assumptions about the Circle have been wrong, she consumed some weird Spirit Stuff in the Fade that made her better at fighting, she's beginning to find the outdoor camping and the dog and the constant company less and less insufferable??

So, maybe, when the assassin she's been hanging out (and feeling a weird kinship) with compliments her looks and she has the opportunity to either shut him down or respond favorably she goes you know what, maybe I don't mind this actually. things are already weird, this might as well happen. if nothing else it sure feels nice to be admired

#oc: kyana amell #herearedragons meta #sure I'll tag this as zevkya #<- we are finally entering the territory where the ship is no longer ImpliedTM #also something something she can't really base her self worth on Irving's or even Wynne's approval anymore really #because her approach to magic has changed #but she's being offered a different kind of approval and she might as well take it #same goes for several non-romantic relationships with other companions tbh #I could see her getting more comfortable with Leliana's 'I think you were sent by the Maker to end the Blight' thing around the same time #and winning a duel against Sten in Haven without letting him land a single hit definitely didn't hurt either #so I think somewhere between the Sacred Ashes quest and Orzammar #is when Kyana really starts pivoting from #'I'm the best because I'm a Good Proper Mage'#to 'I'm the best because I'm so good at killing things and getting people to listen to me'
