Alistair

Alistair sat alone by the campfire. It was beginning to get dark now and letting forth a sigh, he felt saddened. Last night he had told Lilith it was going to be his birthday today, but it seems she had fallen asleep when he has spoken to her after all. He reached for warmth from the fire before withdrawing his hands and rubbing them together. Leliana let lose an uncontrolled giggle opposite him but when he looked towards her, she looked away innocently.

"Alistair," Lilith called jumping next to him before taking a seat by his side. "Lovely night its going to be. Not a cloud in the sky." He merely nodded. "Something wrong?" She asked.

"Well... today was..." He trailed off, sadness to his words. Lilith grinned playfully.

"A delightful day indeed." She teased. Alistair shot to his feet.

"I think I'm going to call it a night for now." With that, he strolled over to his tent. Lilith looked towards Leliana who had the same cheeky smirk on her lips. The two got to their feet.

"What's this?" Alistair asked, poking his head out from his tent. The girls giggled.

"Its a golem doll." Lilith replied in a matter-of-fact way.

"I can see that, but what's it doing in here?"

"Maybe it likes you." Alistair gave Lilith a questioning look.

"Happy Birthday!" The girls chanted in unison.

"That's from Lilith." Leliana stated about the doll.

"Its a little silly I know," Lilith said blushing slightly, "But I thought you'd like it none the less." Alistair smiled.

"And this... this is from me!" Leliana burst in. Alistair's eyes grew wide with hunger.

"All that cheese is for me?" The red haired ranger nodded sheepishly.

"They say its a month supply but I doubt it would last you more than a few days." Lilith teased.

"And I got you some new socks, hopefully I wont find these in my bedroll all filthy any time soon like the others." Wynne joined in the conversation, "I even did the courtesy of sewing your name onto them." Alistair was overwhelmed, not only had his fellow warden get him something that reminded him of his childhood but she got the others in on the celebration too - How could it get any better?

"Aww thank you, you really are my three favourite ladies!" Alistair smiled only now getting out of his tent fully.

"Well don't forget me." Zevran shot in.

"You told him as well?" Alistair whispered to Lilith.

"He overheard me talking to Leliana this morning. She replied smiling coyly. Zevran handed the Templar a small brown leather pouch and upon peering inside, Alistair looked confused.

"Roots." Zevran stated, "They will help you in the bedroom department - keep your strength up."

"Dear maker, why would you give me these?" Alistair spat in shock. Zevran smiled as he looked over at Lilith.

"You dont really believe that doll is all she has to offer you, do you?"
