@bardbattled said: “You know what I learned? I’m a lot braver than people think.”

Maqyaža considers the bard for a long time, yellow eyes narrowed in careful deliberation. They aren’t one to deny a person their due, even if they aren’t a dragon. Still, they appear uncertain, as though they intend to ask that she prove it. Right in line with this presumption, they cross their arms and instill a subtle smirk on their lips. “Do you think so?” they intentionally bait Elsie, knowing full well what they’re doing. “Under what grounds? What are your feats?”

" something is clearly bothering you. " - mal, @starlyht

had they been in their natural form, their tail would have been lashing back and forth like an agitated cat’s. instead, they are left the pace, nostrils flaring, around the skyhold grounds. they know mal is nearby, and they are content to let him bear witness to their irritation for a time. however, the moment that the elder dragon speaks, they have to temper the flames of their anger out of respect for the individual they see as a mentor.

“why do you put so much trust in them? they kill our kind for sport, hang our heads and horns on walls,” maqyaža says through gritted teeth. “yet you commune with them like kin. why? what is the purpose?”

@stagsworn asked: “What is the catch? That really is the question.”

“the catch is you not being burned alive by the ponbahkābi,” maqyaža says gruffly, only catching their slip of tongue in the aftermath. “your kind call them red dragons,” they correct themselves in common before shooting valas a look. never being one for any semblance of patience, they go on to pose, “do you want my help, or not?” as far as maqyaža is concerned, it is a fair trade. valas guides the dragon to their next destination, and in return, maqyaža ensures that he is not toyed with for sport or reduced to a pile of ash and bone. any qelxaʾniq would be a fool to deny such a generous offer.

@doekkabi asked: performance !

→ maqyaža rolled a 19 + 3 for a 22 [shocking the hell out of their writer]!

if they are honest, they know that they still have a lot to learn about intermingling with those not of dragonkind. after all, this human form they have adopted, in and of itself, is imperfect. the ears appear more elven, and the teeth and nails are much too long and sharp. nevertheless, they are relatively clever. in their view, too, humans (of all the species) are the simplest to mimic; and that is where their confidence is borne, as they stand before hana now, posturing themselves as nothing more than a human, elf, or—brine, they don’t know—something in-between. they are assured that no one has the faintest idea, no matter how odd their mannerisms.

“do you always greet strangers in this way?” maqyaža asks with a narrowed gaze, arms crossed over their chest, barefoot in the middle of the woods as the day they were hatched.

prompts: quotes about despairs // accepting

@prophecyveined said, "i wish i could tell you how lonely i am."

though they would be loath to say it, maqyaža knows a thing or two about loneliness. as it happens, however, this is one of the first times in their ninety years that they have been on the receiving end of such a confession of raw emotionality. they are uncomfortable, out of their element, and it shows. never having been one to be able to mask their expressions before, especially in this shape, their brows furrow deeply. what is expected in a moment like this? if remilia had wanted a compassionate display, she may be sorely disappointed. the most maqyaža can do is appear constipated, albeit trying their best.

“what of your clan?” they ask, in lieu of having fuck-all else to say. in the absence of protocol, they stick to what they know. “it is difficult to be lonely when you are one of multitudes.”

@standbetween said, “i can protect you.”

those words are a double-edged sword. their pride dictates that they lash out, virulently defending their strength until no such thought would ever come to thom’s mind again. how dare he, they yearn to growl, thinking that a being such as i would ever need the aid of a creature like him. yet, their feral drive for survival, at all costs, whispers of opportunity. they have been weakened, in body and in magic. bound in this fragile form, they need only lie down to succumb to their untimely demise. this doesn’t mean they’re thrilled, by any means, at having to accept help—least of all from a nondragon.

“pāvru’d gebra, i bet you take great pleasure in this,” they say behind gritted teeth, hoping to mask some of the pain they are in with a scowl. maqyaža is in no position to deny his offer, and so, they do not.

@rootworkin:

[ ESCORT ] receiver notices the sender is starting to get sleepy so they pick them up to carry them to bed.

it’s late. they can tell that pasha is exhausted. they wait until she has settled before going to her, though. maqyaža picks pasha up carefully and slowly, making a point not to jostle her too much, and then carries her to her room from the study, where they had been talking.

they’ve been here once or twice, if only briefly. so, as they walk into pasha’s bedroom, they take a cursory glance around before placing the witch gently on her bed. they may not know much about how humans decorate their living quarters, but this space suits her ( pretty, refined ).

it also feels... incredibly personal, being here. maqyaža isn’t certain if that is a good or bad thing, though they do reflect that it is nice to get a good look at the room, to see even a glimpse into her everyday life.

reaching for the covers, maqyaža pulls them over pasha and tilts their head. there’s a few strands of hair lying across pasha’s face, so they gently nudge them aside with one of their fingers. an expression like bewilderment crosses over their features like a shadow, yet is gone as they take a step back.

they’ll keep watch over the house as they always do—make sure that the danger’s subsided. let her sleep.

" what have you done?! " - lara, @starlyht

still overburdened with adrenaline, maqyaža barely registers what lara says at first. electricity arcs over three huts that now lie in ruin—burnt and smoldering. their eyes are wild, more draconic than human, despite being in the latter form. they are searching for something, perhaps someone, but it isn’t or they aren’t here. a frustrated growl tears through their throat as a surge of lightning gathers in their fists and behind their jagged teeth. only then is lara regarded, as though they have only just realized she is there, among the carnage.

“xomʾ sorsu’d, āngvon qelxa!” they hiss, remembering themselves only after the harsh words spoken in their native tongue. “i am searching for the bastard hornless one who stole from me, and they are not here.”

@rosawept asked: nature, from rain

→ maqyaža rolled a 10 + 8 for an 18

maqyaža is uniquely attuned to the weather. though their storm magic has nowhere near the capabilities of an elder of their kind, they can still manifest thunderheads and compel the forces of lightning to strike the earth. All of that is to say: they do not fear the coming storm. in fact, they invite it. the electricity in the air jumps across their skin gleefully, attracting the charges in the atmosphere itself. this weather will not be kind to rain, though, and that is why they are on the move. comfortable and confident in this terrain, they root out a cave with ease to stow the young chimera in—feeling a sense of responsibility to protect her akin to what maqyaža assumes sošākābi broodwatchers possess for their clan’s young.

“in here,” they coax with a final glance to the sky. had they their way, they would shed this awful, flesh prison and ascend to the skies to feel the thunder boom in their chest as lightning moves through their body like the perfect conduit. yet here they are… minding this beast who is not their kin. they do not stop to consider why, or even if, they care (despite knowing they do).

@standbetween asked: history !

→ maqyaža rolled a 16 + 2 for an 18!

part of sošākābi brood-rearing includes learning a great deal about the peoples outside of their kind. maqyaža had been interested enough in these studies, but admittedly, their mind had always been more geared toward the physical (sparring, athletics, and more). so, when they are able to recall the general structure and purpose of the grey wardens and a fair amount of their history in thedas, they surprise themselves. even more perplexing, perhaps, is that a grey warden stands before them now. this is an opportunity they will not pass up.

“the nature of your clan is sacrifice,” it isn’t a question at all or a call for confirmation; they say it as a statement of fact. “you join this collective knowing that you will die for those not of your kin. why?”

@maetriaki said: gently , she rests a hand atop of maq's snout & smiles at them . " hello darling , you're growing rather well for a youngin in these times aren't you ? stay away from nevarra though , unless you have a convenient disguise which i am sure you have . " the old goddess gives the dragon a soothing rub at the side of their jaw now .

mythal is one of a very few that they genuinely relish the affection from. a single touch on the nose, and suddenly they are an attention-starved wyrmling all over again. they expel a gentle bluster of hot breath from their nostrils as mythal speaks, arcs of electricity rolling over their massive body as is characteristic of them. she talks of a warning—one that maqyaža has heard before. their vivid yellow eyes narrow in concert with their pupils, followed by bit of smoke soon billowing from their nose. the goddess would hear within her awareness and not from the dragon’s mouth, “qelxa form can be hard to keep.” clearly, it is a matter of contention. “it is small and weak. concentration can be broken.”

plots please <3

⤏ send me “plots please” // accepting

… and I’ll respond with 3 (or more) interesting plots / relationships / connections I can think of for our muses!

01. dragon age verse - maybe felicia's fending off some bandits, or something, and maq is impressed with her level of skill. so, they approach her and kind of strike up a conversation that way. maq's just like "ok, maybe not all humans are trash, actually, and can fight." i can't promise they also won't try to 'fight' her. skdjfsd

02. dragon age verse - felicia gets hired by someone to steal some treasure in a coastal cave, but... oops, it's a dragon lair, and that's maq's hoard.

03. elder scrolls - either felicia or maq get injured, and the other finds them among some ruins (maybe with a dragon priest inside).
