Sera was back beside the camp fire when Evelyn arrived back with Cassandra, who nudged Evelyn lightly and gave a nod towards the elf before going into their tent. Ser Blackwall had agreed to meet them at their camp come sunrise, and Evelyn felt a bit of the weight on her shoulders ease at the acquisition of a Grey Warden for their ranks. Grey Wardens came with treaties, treaties he offered the Inquisition to use in his name, and Evelyn and Cassandra both had been speechless with how well it worked out for them. But now the real challenge happened. She had to face a pissed off Sera with a quiver full of arrows on her back and her bow on the ground beside her.

"Imp?" Evelyn said softly as she came upon the girl. She knew Sera could hear her coming from way back, but still felt it was polite to verbally announce herself, lest the elf truly not wish her company.

She paused, waiting for a response that did not come, and she sighed, making her way forward. Sera ignored her as she sat down on the elf's left side, leaving a significant amount of space between them, not wanting to smother her, but wanting to fix this thing between them. Neither spoke for a while, but Sera didn't tell her to piss off, either, so she didn't dare move away from the flames.

"You should have come back," Sera muttered sullenly after an hour or so of silence between the two. "I'd've gone with you. Stupid, goin' 'round the lake by yourself with no weapons."

"I didn't plan on getting caught," Evelyn admitted quietly. "He got me, watched my hand come 'round the lake, doubled around the cabin when he heard me coming up against the wall."

"You're lucky he ain't what he might've been," Sera scoffed, rolling her eyes.

The young human had the decency to feel ashamed. "I know, I thought the same thing when his sword was against my jugular."

Sera's fist whipped out and hit Evelyn in the upper right arm, hard. "You worried the piss out of me, Evelyn! Just took off, 'be right back'. Right back ain't hours."

Evelyn grabbed Sera's hand before she could pull it back to her, and pulled the girl closer to her, wrapping her arms around her. Sera didn't resist the embrace, only buried her face in the assassin's neck. "I'm sorry," Evelyn muttered into Sera's hair, planting a kiss on the crown of the uneven mop. "It won't happen again. You and me, next time."

"No matter how pissy you are?" Sera's voice was muffled, but still taunting in her lingering irritation.

Evelyn chuckled, squeezing the girl to her. "No matter how pissy I am. I promise."

They lapsed back into silence, and Evelyn felt the throb on her arm where the punch had connected. She fought the strong urge to rub it, not wanting to let go of Sera to do so or give the girl the satisfaction of knowing it hurt. For someone so small, the girl had a swing on her.

"I think it's going to bruise," Evelyn muttered a second later, unable to not rub it. She let go of Sera, and she sat up with a smug grin as Evelyn rubbed the tender place.

"Good," she said with a predictably satisfied nod. "That'll teach you not to be a big hat dummy and go runnin' off in the dark by yourself with no knife."

"Yeah, I'm loony, I know." Evelyn chuckled again, looking back at the fire, glad that things seemed better with them again.

"You said it, Shiny." Sera reached over and took Evelyn's hand, slipping her fingers through hers. She'd told Evelyn the night before that she liked holding her hand because it was new to her, and the chills it gave her when Evelyn had done it the first night they cuddled were the first things that told her she was interested in the woman at all. Sera had honestly initiated the first cuddle as a method of stealing warmth from a hot girl, literally and figuratively.

"I want to kiss you, but there's soldiers about," Evelyn said a few minutes later, looking over at Sera, whose eyes were beautiful with the reflection of flames in them. Fire suited the elf, she even smelled of it because of the jars of flame she sometimes used in battle, her temper was warm, and the kisses she could give were like a conflagration of Evelyn's very soul, hot and languid as they were. That was the kiss she craved at this moment.

"And?" Sera prompted, unconcerned and unashamed.

Evelyn turned her upper body to face the girl completely, leaning towards her and dropping her voice so that only Sera's ears could pick up the whispered words. "And the kind of kiss I have in mind would send these boys into whatever dark corner they could find for a wank."

"Mmm," Sera hummed, nodding. "And Cass is in the tent all night because it's Varric after me tonight."

Evelyn leaned over even further, running her nose up Sera's neck above her scarf and nipping at the bottom of her ear. "We could find a nice patch of woods for a while before bed…." She reached up and untied the scarf, letting it fall away so she would have more skin to kiss.

Sera nodded vigorously at the suggestion, swallowing the whimper she wanted to give as Evelyn discreetly kissed down her neck, deftly unbuckling the strap of Sera's quiver. "Whatever," she breathed deeply, moving her head to the side to give Evelyn more room to place her open mouthed attentions. "As long as you do this when we get there."

"Deal," Evelyn murmured in agreement, sitting back up and away from Sera, much to the elf's dismay. The disgruntled noise she gave made Evelyn chuckle, and she gave her hand a squeeze. "My brother Maxwell always said good things come to those who wait."

"All this waitin' is killin' me," Sera groaned, leaning against Evelyn. "If we don't make it to an inn soon to get you to myself, I'm gonna explode or somethin'."

"I know the feeling." There had been three times since they'd kissed that first time the night before that they'd had to stop before things went too far. Once it even went as far as over the clothes grinding and touching. They certainly liked testing their limits, and it didn't help matters that the girl was so Maker-damned good at the things she did. Evelyn had a sneaking suspicion that Sera learned how to fuck in the same way she did, with professional whores. There was no better teacher than someone that used it as a trade skill. "I nearly finished earlier, with just what we were doing." She wasn't ashamed to admit that she had nearly came in her pants just from the kissing and grinding, the first time that had ever happened to her. Whether it was a testament to Sera's skill or to the attraction between them, Evelyn didn't know.

"Yup," Sera said matter of fact, crossing her ankles to squeeze her thighs together from her reaction to the memory of what they had been doing. She'd also come very close to peaking, and probably would have had Varric not shown up with a deck of cards when he did.

"Wish Varric would interrupt this watch," Evelyn muttered, taking the thought right out of Sera's head as they both listened to him snore on, oblivious to their hurry.

"He'll probably sleep in, like always," Sera replied, letting go of Evelyn's hand long enough to grab a log from the pile and add it to the flames. Evelyn watched her with an amused expression that made Sera pause after she was done. "What are you lookin' at me like that for?"

"You've acclimated to this lifestyle quite well, and quickly," Evelyn told her, and Sera's nose scrunched up.

"What's 'acclimated' mean?" she asked her, and Evelyn couldn't help but to push her finger against the tip of her wrinkled nose, thinking how adorable the expression was.

"You've gotten used to it," Evelyn explained, and Sera nodded, the wrinkle fading from her button nose as the meaning sunk in. "Learning stuff about it."

"Yeah, it's not so bad. Still like a bed and a bath tub, but this ain't bad. Kinda good, innit? It let us get to know each other."

"You're certainly my favorite person here," Evelyn said with a grin that made the thief grin right back. "I'm glad you've been stuck with me long enough for my charm and wit to win you over, my imp."

"It was mainly how pretty your arse is in those leather breeches you wear," Sera said in a playfully serious tone. "That's a real nice bum you've got back there, Shiny."

Evelyn gave her a playful swat on the arm, and Sera laughed. "Okay, okay," Sera said, dodging a second swat. "You're kinda funny, too."

Evelyn made a grab for Sera's side, which proved to be a ticklish spot for her, so she squealed and rolled away, getting to her feet and scurrying off. Evelyn didn't think twice before popping up and taking off after her, catching up to her relatively easy, and then tackling the elf to the ground right on the outskirts of the camp. They wrestled for a few minutes, laughing and cussing at each other with taunts flying every direction, both of them forgetting that most of the camp was sleeping and that Evelyn was still supposed to be resting. The soldiers that were still awake watched the two women roll around with interest, just the way Evelyn said they would.

Evelyn struggled in the elf's grip, managing to loosen one of her arms by pressing down on a pressure point on her wrist. "Hey, that's cheating!" Sera admonished her, rolling away when Evelyn tried to catch her in a vice grip with her thighs. The moment she was back on her feet, she was on the run again.

"War changes things, but war… war never changes," Evelyn grunted, launching herself after the imp again. She was getting winded, but she dared not give Sera the satisfaction of having more stamina than she. She had to pin her, and she had to pin her quickly.

They were well away from camp now, the glow of the fires distant in the thick of the trees in which Sera had run to take refuge from a closely pursuing Evelyn. It was hard for Evelyn to see, and all of sudden she didn't even hear Sera's footsteps running through the underbrush. She stopped, panting for breath and trying to hear over the sound of it. "Imp?" she called out into the darkness, hearing no answer. Brow furrowing in slight worry, she took a step forward, straining her eyes against the thick blackness in front of her, raising her marked hand for the little dim light it offered. "Sera, come on, don't play around with me, disappearing like-"

A weight dropped onto her back with a laugh, and Evelyn had a stroke before the touch on her face and the laugh in her ear registered as the imp's. Annoyed, Evelyn reached back to pull the girl over her shoulder, but Sera dropped to the ground and took her knees out from under her, swinging a leg over her lap and pinning her wrists up by her head, thighs locked around hers like an iron clasp. Evelyn growled, starting to attempt to squirm free, but Sera leaned down and caught her mouth with hers, and Evelyn stopped struggling immediately.

The kiss was slow and deep, despite the way both were reeling with the exertion of their run. Sera's tongue slid against hers in sure strokes that lit that familiar feeling in her gut that made her need more of it. Slowly the grip on her wrists lightened, until Sera had released them, and the grip on her lower body also disappeared as Sera stretched out on top of her without breaking their kiss. Sera used a knee to nudge Evelyn's thighs apart until she was nestled against her in a reverse of the position they had so enjoyed prior to cards that day, giving a slow roll of her hips into the human woman, whose hands sought immediate purchase of the elf's shoulders. She clutched herself to her as lightning struck through her when their sexes touched through cloth, Sera's tongue paced perfectly with the rhythm of her hips. She was getting light headed from a lack of oxygen, but Sera moved her mouth down Evelyn's neck just as her head began to tingle. Evelyn made a noise she couldn't stop from coming out of her mouth when the elf bit her where her neck met her shoulder, making her fingers dig into the elf's back. Sera hummed in approval of the reaction.

"I'm not a pillow princess, Shiny," Sera breathed smugly in a rush of hot air directly into Evelyn's ear. "I like to play, too." She sucked Evelyn's earlobe into her mouth, giving a long and firm grind into her. Evelyn's head flew back as more sparks sprayed through her eyesight, her fingers tangling themselves in Sera's hair as the elf grinned into her neck, nipping the flesh there before pulling her face out to look at Evelyn. There was something in the way Evelyn looked at her, the way her hands moved on her body that was different from everyone else she'd done this stuff with. She just didn't know why it was different, because it was the same actions. Why did it affect her so much more with this one? It felt so good.

Evelyn Trevelyan was not used to being the one looking up in any situation like the one she now found herself in. But there was nothing in her that wanted to fight the girl, or to continue the struggle to maintain control. All the notions of waiting to purposefully be this close flew out of the window when the imp gave her a wicked grin and lifted Evelyn's tunic, leaning down and placing her scorching mouth on the flesh of her stomach, dipping her tongue into her navel and sucking the flesh around it. She licked and sucked her way all over her abdominal muscles, driving Evelyn insane as that mouth came up over her rib cage and back down the slope of her waist, placing soft kisses on each of her most recently acquired scars. That action made Evelyn's heart swell to the point that she felt tears prickle at the corners of her eyes, overcome with the onslaught of emotions doing this with Sera caused. She reached down and cupped Sera's jaw, the touch making the elf look up at Evelyn somewhat sheepishly.

"Been wantin' to do that since I seen 'em," she admitted to Evelyn quietly, who smiled at the confession, pulling the girl's mouth back up to hers. "Just glad you're still here, Shiny," she whispered against Evelyn's lips a minute later, her hand coming up to stroke a finger down the human's perfect jaw line.

The slight glow of her hand illuminated Sera's face just enough for Evelyn to see the expression in her eyes as they looked at each other, and Evelyn made a decision. Gently pushing on Sera's chest to rise, she sat up and curled her fingers under the hem of her tunic, aware of the tempest's eyes on her as she pulled it over her head and let it drop to the ground, then reached behind her and untied the knot of her breast band, letting it fall with the tunic. She could hear the pace of Sera's breath pick up with the action happening while she was kneeled between Evelyn's thighs. She reached out to take Sera's hands in hers, gently placing them on her body in a silent request for the elf to touch her.

"Evelyn…" There was no teasing note to the way Sera whispered her name like a prayer, her hands gripping her sides just below her breasts that the elf couldn't help but to stare at. "If I… if we do this, I ain't gonna be able to stop."

"I don't want you to stop, my imp," Evelyn whispered back, easing down onto her back, the elf following her down without prompting from her. "Please, just touch me."

"What 'bout you wantin' to wait…?" Sera's question faded as Evelyn shook her head, reaching up and pulling Sera's face down to kiss her.

There's no way we could recreate a moment like this, when I feel like this with her, Evelyn thought to herself, sure in her decision.

She felt Sera's hands hesitantly slide up that inch of flesh between them, and to the underside of her breasts as she kissed her sweetly as they had yet. Gently cupping them fully in her hands, their weight fit perfectly in the slightly roughened palms of the archer. Evelyn gasped into her mouth when Sera's thumbs came up and slowly drew circles over her hardened tips, her hips jerking up for attention as the sensation shot straight down into her leather pants. She pulled at the bottom of Sera's smock, getting her hands beneath it to touch the skin of her back, needing to have more of the other rogue against her than what she currently had. Something seemed to click in Sera's head at her touch, and she quickly sat up to jerk it off and toss it away, while Evelyn didn't give her time to remove her own chest bindings, having it off of the girl before her shirt even hit the ground. She barely had time to take another breath before Sera's mouth was on hers again, teeth tugging at her bottom lip hard enough to draw a groan from her that made the imp grin into the kiss.

It was a blur for Evelyn from there; how they ended up completely naked with Sera's fingers buried inside of her, Evelyn's thighs locked around her waist with the elf enthusiastically thrusting hard against her while intermittently panting into her mouth and then kissing her deeply to swallow the noises she was making the knife-happy human keen. Sweat rolled down both their bodies despite the chill outside as they feverishly moved against each other, the attraction and constant teasing leaving them unable to take it as slowly as they might have liked. Her body gave a throb, alerting her to the impending orgasm that was quickly mounting, but Sera felt the throb, too, and slightly slowed her pacing to stave it off that much longer, not wanting this to be over any time soon.

She felt Evelyn's hands touch her chest, traveling slowly down her stomach as the muscles contracted and loosened with every push in and out of her lover, her fingertips making Sera's eyes roll back in her skull at the twitch it caused her entire lower body to have. But then Evelyn slid a single finger between where Sera's pelvis met hers on her every push of her fingers, the finger pressing directly at the throbbing little nub on top. "Bloody fuck!" Sera yelled, her hips freezing in place, pressed hard against Evelyn as tremors shot through her body at the contact.

"Don't stop," Evelyn pleaded, slowly rolling her finger over the little ridge of hard flesh. "So close, imp. Please…."

It took a moment for Sera to gather herself enough to move again with that pressure there, slowly making circles around her, pushing her close to the edge of a fall she wasn't ready for either of them to take. She feels so good, this all feels good. I like this with her best, Maker's hairy balls she's so good… her voice right now, I can't handle that, shut up before you make me come.

"Shhhh," Sera shushed the woman beneath her, trying to concentrate on making her finish before she did. She needed that, she needed to see this cocky, beautiful noble arsehole come undone beneath her, because of her. She needed it so badly that she couldn't even take it easy their first time, pouncing on the girl as soon as they were out of their knickers, schloop- two fingers knuckle deep. Heh, didn't hear her complain, though. "Don't talk, Shiny. Makes me shake."

Evelyn bit her lip at this valuable piece of information that Sera had a weakness for dirty talk, rolling her hips up against the elf. "I can't tell you-" a gasp when Sera gave a hard buck into her at the sound of her voice, "how you're so much stronger than you look?" She leaned her face up to her ear as Sera's lungs pushed out a rush of air at the words Evelyn breathed. "How good you feel inside me?" she moaned softly, her body beginning to shake as well. Her free hand moved down Sera's back, cupping her bottom and pulling the flexing muscles harder against her. She bit down on the tip of Sera's pointed ear as the girl buried her face in her neck with a low, pitiful whine that sent hard shudders through Evelyn. The throbbing in her lower regions was coming more quickly, and was becoming more pronounced as a slight tingle began in the bottoms of her bare feet, growing stronger every second she said these things out loud to her lover.

"S-shut up, Shiny… fuck," Sera breathed, shaking her head without pulling her face free of the sweaty skin she nipped at now.

"My imp," Evelyn breathed affectionately, the hand between them flying up to tangle in Sera's hair as the other still clung to her pivoting hips. "I- fuck, Maker please, Sera!" The hand clutching Sera's arse slid between them to take the place of the hand now in her hair, furiously rolling over Sera's nub, making the elf lose the rhythm of her hips, but Evelyn was too far gone to care. "With me? Please, Sera…" The words fell out of her mouth and Sera's body shivered violently against her, and Evelyn's toes curled.

Sera's face came up out of her neck with her mouth open, eyes wide in the light green glow from the hand gripping her hair. Evelyn felt herself clamp down hard on Sera's fingers, and Sera's hips jerked against hers, both of them whimpering loudly at the sensation, the slow thrust Sera gave as her last being the push over the edge as her finger pushed hard on that spot inside of her. Evelyn's pelvis surged up from the ground with a sharp cry, lifting Sera into the air before they both crashed back down into a puddle of sweaty flesh.

Evelyn pulled the girl's face to hers again, tears sliding down her face from the force of the orgasm that just slammed through her. She gave her every amount affection she could muster in this kiss, lest she think Evelyn had not been sure of this still. This was the right time. This was what was meant to happen, and Evelyn did not regret one single breath of the entire thing.

Her heart was slamming against it's cage, and her breath was shallow and quick, but the slick flesh crumpled against her felt amazing. Evelyn made no effort to move from beneath the now winded elf, whose hand was still inside of her, feeling every flutter of her aftershocks as the muscles tightened and loosened around her fingers, Evelyn's wetness seeping over them as they laid together. Sera could feel her own wetness coating her bare thighs, her wandering mind finding it humorous that they had managed such a feat as the mutual moment of climax. She's so friggin' pretty when she's comin', no friggin' wonder… told her to shut up. Piss.

Sera let her head fall to Evelyn's soft chest, listening to the frantic pace of her heart calm into a more steady beat as her heated skin cooled in the night air. Neither of them spoke a word, content to lie there, until Sera's fingers flexed inside of Evelyn again, pressing right against the spot inside and making the woman whimper and her hips shift upwards in search of more. So slow that she wasn't even sure she was doing it, her hips pressed forward again, and Evelyn's hand touched her face, making her look up to see her with a small smile.

"Keep going, imp," she said softly, rolling up against her. "You did say you wouldn't stop after just once."

Sera's face couldn't fight off the smirk that appeared. "Liked that, yeah?" she asked the obvious, flexing her fingers again before pulling them out and bringing them to her lips, tasting Evelyn for the first time. Definitely about to do this, knew it.

"Yeah, I did," Evelyn admitted, blushing a bit with the affirmative answer. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been the one on the receiving end first, if it had ever happened at all. Watching Sera lick her fingers clean was having an effect she didn't know was possible, too. But what happened next blew her mind.

Sera bent forward between her legs, pressing her lips to Evelyn's lower abdomen again, making a path of kisses along the line where her pubic hair began. She felt Sera take both of her thighs in each hand, massaging the insides as her kisses went lower, but then went away from where Evelyn hoped they were going, kissing up the insides of both thighs instead as she placed them over her shoulders. Sera paid significant attention to the backs of her knees when Evelyn came off the ground again with the first touch her mouth there, enjoying every noise that came out of her. She kissed her way back down a thigh so achingly slow that Evelyn entertained the thought of threatening her with a blade; but then the best thing finally happened and the assassin exhaled with a high pitched noise as the flesh around her sex was sucked into a hot mouth, a tongue jabbing at the sensitive bit at the top.

Both of her hands went down and gripped Sera at the base of her long ears, Evelyn nearly howling with how fucking good Sera was at this particular thing. Her mouth was fucking fantastic, Evelyn already had a coil building in the pit of her stomach again at the way Sera went at her like she'd wanted this for years. "OH!" she yelped when Sera's tongue slid inside of her where her fingers had been, and she realized for the first time that the girl's tongue was long. She couldn't control the helpless sounding noises bursting out of her every time the imp curled the tip of her tongue just enough to touch her inside place. Sera's nose happened to be rubbing along side of the outside place as Evelyn's hips rocked with a frenzy on her, pulling her face into her harder as she got closer to coming all over it.

But then Sera pulled her mouth away with a deep breath, sitting up on her knees with Evelyn's legs still over her shoulders, pushing three fingers into Evelyn before pumping behind them with her hips, the other hand coming up to touch Evelyn's stomach, enjoying feeling the muscles dance as she made her delirious. She liked the view from this position, watching Evelyn's tits bounce with every thrust she made, the expression in Evelyn's eyes as she looked up at her, having this beauty laid out in front of her. Mine. Claimed for good. Think I might love this one, one day. Arrows for anyone that don't like it, too.

When she felt Evelyn start to tighten on her fingers and saw her go nearly cross eyed, Sera pulled her hand free and went back down with her mouth, pushing her tongue back inside of her as her thumb went to the nub, running tight circles over it. Evelyn's fingers dug into the ground as she climaxed, and her upper body twisted, dragging herself away from the intensity of the sensation, but Sera didn't let her get away, following without ever pulling her tongue out of the girl.

"Maker!" Evelyn's muscles seized up again, the contraction in her abdomen pulling her upright as she felt the undulation of her sex in her lover's mouth. She pulled at Sera's hair, but that seemed to only spur the girl on to drag out what was one of the longest orgasms she'd ever had, and she didn't know if her heart could take much more. Ungodly sounds were shooting out of her throat while she shamelessly called for the Maker. Forget trying to be civilized and quiet about this; she knew now that if there was ever a time they had to be discreet, Sera was not allowed to use this beautifully gifted mouth on her. Her thighs snapped shut around the girl's head, and Evelyn prayed she wouldn't suffocate her before she regained control of her limbs, but the pleasure was still raging through her, threatening her sanity.

"Sera, please, I can't handle…" Evelyn was basically sobbing her pleas by this point, having lost her eyesight to a white that flashed in front of her eyes and didn''t fade, her body shaking like she was being electrocuted in the best of ways. But then with one final surge that made her cry out louder than any of the other spasms put together and pulled her body straight up again from another contraction of muscles, then her body went completely slack, thighs falling from Sera's ears without conscious effort as her back hit the ground again with Sera still attached to her.

Sera slowly withdrew her mouth, leaning her forehead against one of Evelyn's violently quivering thighs, her breath panting over the sensitive flesh, making Evelyn's hips squirm by themselves. Evelyn barely felt Sera press a final kiss to her sex as she came back into her body from somewhere else. The elf took a slow path back up her body, kissing and nuzzling every patch of skin that she passed, her fingers lightly skimming along Evelyn's forearms, cupping her face once Sera's mouth reached hers for a long, lazy kiss that tasted of nothing but Evelyn.

And Evelyn loved it. The girl was hers. Tasting herself in her kiss was exquisite, better than what happened just a moment before. Oh, Maker, this mouth… blessed sin, Andraste, Maferath has shit on this mortal lover. She reveled in the feel of her body on hers, almost greedily wishing to be one with girl again, only this time with her hand buried inside of the elf. My hands are filthy, digging at the dirt… Maker's breath, did we really just fuck like that on the blighted ground?

"We should try to sneak around to the lake before we go back to camp," Evelyn said a few minutes later, still at loss for breath from the kisses they'd shared. "I'm sure we are a sight to see, covered in dirt and leaves. I can't believe we just… fucked on the ground." Both of them dissolved into giggles, Sera pressing a kiss to her collarbone where her face was nestled.

"Your idea," Sera reminded her, reluctantly pushing herself up to where she was straddled across Evelyn's lap. "Not your worst one, either." She ran her hands across Evelyn's abs again, loving watching the muscles react to her fingers.

"You skipped the last half of your watch," Evelyn laughed, reaching up and pinching one of Sera's nipples playfully. "Oh, Maker, Cassandra is going to light me on fire for this."

Sera gave a low growl at the thought, leaning down for one more kiss before she got to her feet, holding out a hand to help Evelyn to hers. They dusted the sticks and leaves from their legs and backs, then Sera felt a devious smile light up her face. "I'll get your bum, just turn around," she said playfully, thrilled when Evelyn spun around and poked her bottom out towards her teasingly, wiggling it a bit. Maker, have mercy, it's beautiful.

She did indeed dust it off, but then her hands lingered, lightly massaging the soft flesh. Her eyes were locked dead onto the way it gave beneath her fingers, and how sexy it was when her hands gathered all of it and let it go to watch it bounce. I'm having her from back here next time. I have to. She leaned forward and pressed a sensual kiss to Evelyn's spine as she replaced her hands with her sex, unable to stop from rubbing herself against it just once, to know how it felt.

"Imp," Evelyn whispered, her breath catching with the sensation of Sera's slick sex sliding against her. "We really should bathe…."

"I can't keep my hands off you," Sera whispered back almost painfully, nuzzling the nape of Evelyn's neck with a soft gasp as her arousal built again. "I've had you twice and I still feel like it ain't enough."

Fingers reached back and twisted into her sweaty hair, scratching lightly as Sera placed kisses across the top of Evelyn's back, her arms encircling her waist to hold her closer. "This won't be the last time you'll have me," Evelyn promised her, turning in the girl's arms and tapping a finger on her nose. "A mouth like that? Andraste's knickers, you had me delirious. I'm definitely coming back for seconds."

Sera's smug grin hitched up on her face, and Evelyn rolled her eyes at herself for feeding the elf's ego that much more, but it was true. Sera had taken her to a place she'd never seen. "Told you," she said with a cocky chuckle. "I ain't a pillow princess. But if you don't want it again, you should really put some clothes on."

"I'm trying, if you'd just stop molesting me long enough to find my breeches," Evelyn admonished her, slapping at a hand that indeed was trying to slip back between her legs. It seemed Sera was nearly insatiable, another plus in Evelyn's book. With the proper free time, that would be quite useful. "And besides, the next one being a screaming fool is going to be you, imp."

"You are kinda loud, yeah," Sera said with a lopsided grin as she found Evelyn's things and handed them to her.

"You just fucked the shit out of me, 'course I was, what'd you expect?" Evelyn said plainly, not bothering with the chest bindings, slipping her shirt over her head without it.

Sera's nose wrinkled up adorably in the dim green light from Evelyn's mark, eyes squinty, a hand reaching up and scratching her head. "I did, didn't I? Heh," she said with a goofy grin that made Evelyn want to kiss it right off her smug face.

"I thought I had a self appreciation issue, but sheesh, you've got me beat by far. Come on, let's hurry, it's already cold, I want to get this over with and get under a pelt." She was already dressed, watching as Sera tugged on her boots. "Do you know how to get back? We ran pretty far."

"Don't worry, Shiny, I can see where to go. Elfy-elf thing, seeing in the dark."

"Superior hearing, sight, and stamina," Evelyn counted off as she followed Sera presumably the way they came. "Elves got it good."

Sera snickered. "Unless you're Baldy, who hears everything we say and do, and it kills him."

"Well, he does seem to be a proper sort of gentleman," Evelyn reasoned for his hostility towards their rather open affections.

"Pfft," Sera laughed, shooting a glance at the Herald. "You really don't see it, do you?"

"See what?" Evelyn asked curiously.

"Nothing, Shiny. Better to be blind, sometimes, innit?"

Evelyn didn't press her, but her curiosity was peaked. What was she not seeing that Sera obviously had? Did she think Solas was jealous that they had connected the way they had? It was an almost immediate mutual attraction, not something Evelyn planned. Who could be jealous over something she couldn't control? She was drawn to the woman walking in front of her like she'd never been drawn to someone before, the things that had just transpired between them confirming it further for her.

Once the light of camp was in sight, they veered widely to the left, circling around outside the perimeter as quietly as they could. Varric was setting a cooking spit up over the fire, what looked to be a fat nug skewered onto it. Was it so late that he was already starting breakfast? Evelyn glanced up at the sky, shocked at how low the moon was hanging, maybe four more hours of darkness. They had been gone for longer than a mere hour.

"How long were we gone?" Evelyn asked Sera once they were out of earshot of the camp again, coming up on the lake shore.

The moon was bright still, and she could see Sera's silhouette give a shrug. "Couple hours, maybe? Dunno, didn't feel long, though." She pulled her clothes off once more, giving a shiver in the chilly air. "Gonna regret this."

"At least it isn't as cold as Haven," Evelyn replied optimistically, steeling herself for the feel of the icy water.

Sera went in first, diving under as soon as she could to scrub at her head. The water was freezing, this whole idea was loony, they should have waited until the sun was up to give some of the pleasant warmth it gave the Hinterlands. She heard a splash as she came back up with a loud gasp for air that the cold had stolen from her lungs when she went under, and she whipped around to see where Evelyn went in. She saw a ripple on the surface about ten feet away, and made to swim that way, but arms grabbed her beneath the water, and then Evelyn popped out, pulling Sera to her.

"You're the warmest thing in here," Evelyn said, her teeth chattering. "I think I'm done, are you?"

"Aye," Sera agreed, swimming for the shore as fast as she could.

Evelyn gave her long hair a wring as she came out of the lake, excited to get warm under a cover, and finally get some sleep. She was exhausted and the cold water only seemed to deepen it instead of alleviate it. She walked back to where Sera stood, naked and dripping wet, looking around the ground.

"Shiny, where'd we put our stuff?"

"Right here…" There was nothing. Their clothes, their boots, gone. "Sera, we've been pranked. Someone took our shit."

"What the bleedin' fuck? Who?" She turned in a circle, looking around for a sign of disturbance. "We were in there for like thirty friggin' seconds!"

Evelyn didn't know whether to laugh like hell or murder someone, so she chose the first. She started as a low chuckle, but it grew into a loud guffaw. "I don't know, but they're fucking good," she said when she could, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Dirty gits," Sera giggled in agreement. "This is war. How are we gonna get back into camp, arses out?"

"Belly crawl to the rear of our tent and slide under?"

Sera gave a slow nod. "Yeah, that would do. Better'n anything I got."

"Whoever did this is just watching, probably dying with laughter," Evelyn muttered, shaking her head as they crept back to the camp.

"Or jerkin' his prick," Sera said with a disgusted tone, making Evelyn curious.

"You don't do men, at all?"

"Ew, no," Sera said, gagging a little with her tongue out for emphasis. Then she got serious faced and stopped to appraise Evelyn with her eyes narrowed. "Why, do you?"

Evelyn laughed at the note of apprehension in Sera's tone, as if she were preparing for the worst. "No, I do not," she told her, amused as she watched her imp's shoulders relax as she turned and started walking again.

"Thank the Maker for that, already put my mouth on your junk 'n everything," Sera sighed in obvious relief. "Never even went down on a whore that did men. Only the ones that did women only."

Evelyn gave a dry laugh. "After two bottles of whiskey, I wouldn't remember what whore I was fucking. Those were some fun times in my life," she said sarcastically, thinking back to the two years before she ran away from Ostwick, being the bann's daughter in the whorehouse every night. She was bedding whores by her fifteenth name day, being taught how to fully and utterly please her partner by much older and experienced women that delighted at showing the young girl how to use that smart mouth of hers. "Whores taught me everything I know, though."

Sera looked back over her shoulder and gave her a grin. "I can tell," she said simply. "You can, too, I bet."

"Yeah, but you're better at it than they were, trust me." Evelyn gave a shudder that had nothing to do with the cold. Sera had given the poetic phrase "blind with passion" a whole new meaning that night. Blind, suffocating, exploding out of my fucking skin. Maker, I don't know if I can handle that again without dying.

Sera put a finger to her lips as they came back, dropping to the ground low, Evelyn following suit. Don't let anyone see us, I don't want to explain this right now, especially to Cassandra, Evelyn prayed to whomever would listen. She just wanted to be able to get to her bedroll, in the privacy of their tent. Cassandra slept like a rock when the woman deigned to actually put effort towards resting, so she hoped this would be one of those times she was dead to the world. Sera slid under the canvas, holding it up for Evelyn to slide under after her. The tent was dark aside from Evelyn's hand, and in its light she could see Cassandra's face still sleeping with a crease between her eyebrows like always.

Evelyn didn't dare breathe a sigh of relief yet, not until she had pulled a fresh tunic from her sack and was on her back under a pelt, shivering from the cold and practically crushing Sera to her when the girl joined her beneath the cover. Both had only put on shirts, and still had wet heads from the lake, so the tangle of limbs was a desperate attempt to quickly warm up, but the feel of each other threatened to warm them up another way.

"Imp." Evelyn gave a pinch to the hand trying to worm its way between her legs yet again. "No. Cassandra is right there."

Sera huffed, but stopped her advances. "We need our own tent."

"I'll work on that, but for now my issue is horses. We need mounts, badly. Our trip time would be cut in half with a strong steed."

"I'll give you a mount," Sera said with a tease to her voice, definitely not talking about a horse.

Does she ever stop? Ever? Evelyn shook her head with a hopeless grin, planting a kiss on the girl's forehead. "Go to sleep," she whispered exasperatedly, snuggling her face into her wet hair.

"I'm serious, though," Sera whispered in earnest, getting a light whack on the arm from Evelyn, who was having serious problems not bursting into laughter.

"So am I," Evelyn whispered, though the mirth in her voice contradicted her words.

"I'd do it for free," Sera continued, rubbing her thigh against Evelyn's suggestively. "Wouldn't cost you a copper, miss."

"Shut up before you get us killed, she has a huge fucking sword and beheads things," Evelyn hissed, lacing her fingers through Sera's just to keep her hands from slipping under her tunic like they tried to just now. The girl was surely going to be the death of them both either by orgasm or Cassandra's sword, whichever came first. Evelyn had a feeling it wouldn't be the orgasm if the Seeker awoke to them doing that three feet away from her.

"Just saying, Shiny-" Evelyn had heard enough. She did the only thing she could do to shut the imp up: kissed her. It worked like a charm.

Sera sought her place in Evelyn's neck after they broke apart, nuzzling her with a contented sigh. The kissing was all she'd really wanted, anyway.
