#and zevran's doing some crow-oriented house cleaning.... mostly

[lethalhoopla]

"I could've sworn I was only gone for three days."

"And now here you are, home in my arms at last! Truly, your impeccable timing only serves to brighten my day, divine light of my life and Warden extraordinaire-"

"Pretty sure you're in my arms, Zev, love."

"And what lovely, strong arms they are. Say, that's a fascinating wall behind us, perhaps we ought to test it's integrity..."

"Zevran."

"Yes, my love?"

"Three men are dead in the corridor. And four more in the rest of the building."

"Ah, yes. Terrible liars, really. Awful at covering their connections. Your entrance was stunning, by the way. Are those new lightning strikes? The flair! Not subtle, of course, but I always was a man that could appreciate seeing my beloved arriving to catch me from my dramatic second-floor escape while they were backlit by the death throes of our enemies. Did you know that no less than four sects of the Crows are operating in the same quarter-city here? Messy, messy..."

"Are they the only ones that needed to be taken care of?"

"... Now, if you wanted to woo me so thoroughly, you could not have chosen more enticing words."

"Oh? I wouldn't mind hearing another example or two... for reference."

"Excellent. Five more targets in the next two rooms, and then I do believe I'll spend the rest of the next three nights providing fully interactive demonstrations."
