Chapter 7: The Mind of many
Another day arrived when all the guys had to take turns bunking with Sabrize, not all were not happy with his midnight rambling and singing.
Fenris for one was not pleased to have bunked with the giant cat man and it was no fun having to see the man randomly dance near the stairs.
"If you continue to dance near the stairs, I suggest you move" Fenris said with a grim face, standing near the door to his room as he watched.
"Leave me alone you…" Before sabriz could finish his sentence, the khajiit missed a step and went falling back over the railing.
"I told you before, when will you learn." Fenris sighed as he walked over to see if the man was okay, though he doubted the creature would be unconscious.
"Never…oh my poor back…" Sabriz groaned in pain, laying on the floor on his back as he glanced up to see the elf looking down at him. He gave the man a smile and giggled, taking the incident as somewhat of a joke.
"What surprises me the most is that, how you can take a hard fall as funny." Fenris shook his head in disappointment as he moved to walk down the stairs. Knowing full well if that cat got hurt, Anders and the rest would blame him for it.
"True, though I took harder blows to the head much funnier when I was back home…" Sabriz slowly sat up, moving one leg to hold onto as he looked at the floor. His mind slowly drifting to fond memories of the times he spent with Cicero and so many others, his chest felt like daggers stabbing his heart.
Fenris stopped at the bottom of the steps when he saw the look on Sabriz's face, a sad expression that seemed like someone how missed home very much. He wondered what it was like in a world like his, was there elves that were treated the same as here or was it that they were treated like equals.
"What was it like… back where you lived?" Fenris asked calmly as he walked over to sit by the man, looking at him with curiosity.
"You may think it strange but, I found it to be very beautiful and… special." Sabriz spoke with a slight smile on his lips as he looked over at Fenris, he looked at the man's white hair and continued to explan about his homeland and the places he had visited.
Fenris could not believe there were so many races of elves; he never knew the names Sabriz mentioned like Dark Elves, High elves and Wood elves with all different abilities. Fenris was in awe about the adventures the khajiit had, though Sabriz kept it to himself about being DragonBorn.
The khajiit man felt like it was a curse to him; he wanted a normal life and live as a merchant. Building toys for the children that came to buy it, he never told Fenris about his personal life since he could see it on the man's face that he was not one for blurting out his past.
He looked down at his clothes and saw the new stitches that were put on it; he wondered if he would ever belong in a world where mages were locked up like animals. The way elves were treated as scum…
Sabriz told Fenris about his time looking for books of forbidden knowledge and how he met his lord; he was a little know-it all when people asked him about Hermaeus Mora.
He would rub it in their faces about him seeing the Daedric prince of knowledge in person; he was not one for long conversations but telling someone that knew nothing about his home felt kind of nice.
An hour past when he talked with Fenris and answered all his questions, he smiled to see the man wanting to know more but before he could answer. Hawke came in and with him was Anders, the two saw both sitting on the floor looking at them like two kids caught dipping into someone's bag.
"Um, what are you to doing?" Hawke asked, raising an eyebrow to the sight.
"Oh, we fell off the railing while Fenris was chasing me for touching his stuff." Sabriz answered with a little lie and Fenris looked at him in surprise, the khajiit did not want the elf to get in trouble over a little silly thing.
"Um, okay" Hawke said, walking over to help the two up.
"I was hoping to catch Fenris trying to strangle you to death" Anders said with a little disappointment in his voice, crossing his arms when he saw the elf give him the stink eye.
"Shove it, Mage!"
"Shut up, Slave!"
"Go back in your hole and stay there!"
"I can't, because Hawke is there"
"Don't you dare bring me into your little argument, Anders!"
"ENOUGH!" Sabriz yelled at all three men, glaring at them with his fangs showing as he looked at the mage and elf with rage boiling inside him. The three guys looked at him with surprise and shock when they felt a strange wave coming from his loud voice, making the chairs fly back and breaking against the walls.
"What… was that?" Hawke asked, still in shock as he looked back to see almost everything broken or fallen from the walls.
Sabriz sighed and shook his head as he crossed his arms, "That, I cannot say for now. Right now I am pissed off to see temper tantrum here and brood imp there fight! I dealt with a Broody man and whiny when I was in Ferelden and none of them matched the stress you two asses are giving me! So either shut your holes or I will shut it for you!"
Fenris and Anders glared at each other for a moment before crossing their arms and looking away, "Good, now then. What is it that you came for, Hawke?" Sabriz said calmly as he looked at the man.
"Oh, right… um, Fenris I need you to come with me to meet the Arishok. I have a problem understanding what he says, my mind keeps drifting when he starts to talk and I end up feeling stupid when he asked if I heard what he just said." Hawke chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of his head and looked down.
Fenris sighed in disappointment as he walked over to Hawke, "Why not you just listen for once to what he has to say, or…" He glanced back at the khajiit as he rubbed his chin for a moment, "Why not just take Sabriz and show him what the Qunari look like, it would keep him from feeling like a house pet."
"You just want him gone" Anders glared at the elf, not liking the idea of having the khajiit roam around without armor to hide his appearance.
"That's not it, he has been stuck indoors at each of our homes and have you seen the man. He falls into deep depression and ends up laughing at nothing"
"Oh, the laughing part is normal. I do it all the time but you are correct on one thing. I hate being kept indoors, it reminds me of the time Loghain kept me indoors and wouldn't let me roam outdoors…" Sabriz sighed and looked at Anders, giving him a pouting face and adorable kitten eyes.
Fenris tried not to laugh; knowing Anders loved cats and seeing the khajiit take it to his advantage. The mage tried his best to ignore the look on Sabriz's face and started to panic as he looked at Hawke, wanting him to say no.
"Well if I find armor to hide his looks, I can bring him and see what happens" Hawke said with a smile, walking over to the khajiit. Looking at him from top to bottom as he thinks of a way to hide him fully with no flaws, Sabriz watched the man with a raised eyebrow and wondering why the guy was giving him that look.
This Hawke guy is creepy, why is he checking me out with that same look. It reminds me of the time I caught Ancano looking at me like that, it made me feel weird and that grin… Sabriz shuddered to the memory, So creepy and weird, I felt like he was going to rap me in my sleep or something. I swear, I attract the weirdest people… well not a lot of weird people, Merril for one. Sabriz smiled to the thought when he tensed up and froze, feeling the guy touch his tail.
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF STHIS!" Sabriz growled when he turned his head to see Hawke touching his tail close to his backside, he quickly turned and punched the guy in the back of the head with force. Knocking Hawke to the ground and making Fenris burst out laughing, Anders quickly ran over with worry to check on Hawke.
Sabriz backed away from the two with a freaked out face and his hands on his backside, "He tried to touch my ass!" he said, keeping away from them as he ran over to Fenris and hid behind him.
"Well… that wouldn't be the first…ouch!" Hawke got up slowly, rubbing his head as he glanced at the khajiit.
"What…? What are you talking about?" Sabriz peeked out from behind Fenris to look at Hawke, still feeling violated by him.
"I believe Anders didn't tell you" Hawke looked at Anders, "Me and Varric were the ones that washed you while you were unconscious."
Sabriz froze in shock, his eyes widen and his mouth open as he stared at Hawke. Fenris raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, he looked down to see the khajiit in shock and frozen on the spot.
"You… You violated my body!" Sabriz growled, falling into rage as he stood up straight and stormed up to the man when he was stopped by Fenris and Anders. The two held him by his arms and tail as the khajiit struggled to punch the guy again, Hawke took a step back as he stayed alert just in case the two failed to keep the cat from attacking.
"We had no choice! You were covered in blood and wounds that you had! We couldn't just leave you in fresh blood that might have dried and stained your fur!" Hawke yelled, "But be happy! We didn't look when we washed you!"
"Lies! I will not easily forgive you for touching my body! You PERV!" Sabriz hissed
"The women didn't want to wash you!" Hawked yelled
"Except Isabela, she might have… done more than just clean you" Fenris said with irritation in his voice while holding onto the khajiit.
"But I did not say that you can touch me!" Sabriz used more of his strength to get closer to Hawke, rage boiling up more and making the others feet slip.
Hawke quickly took off to the door when Sabriz gave chase; the khajiit chased the guy around the mansion before Hawke ran for the door and ran out fast.
Sabriz ran up to the door and inhaled deeply and unleashed his shout, "FUS RO DAH!" the unleashed force made Hawke fly across the courtyard before crashing into the other end of the wall.
Fenris and Anders felt the mansion tremble to the unleashed power and looked at the khajiit with wide eyes, they were in shock to see how much power his voice held and yet they could not help but fear him.
After a having to deal with the outcome of his services, Hawke entered the Hanged Man with Fenris, Anders helping him walk and Sabriz dressed like a mercenary following right behind with his arms crossed.
Varric walked over with a smile and looked at them, his smile faded when he realized Hawke told him about what they did.
"W-well hello my friends, what happened? Hawke you look like a mess, did you lose in a fight or something?" Varric said sarcastically while walking his friends to his room and ordering a few drinks for them.
Sabriz walked up behind Varric, Making the dwarf turn around slowly to see the tall khajiit with scary looking eyes.
"You bastard…" Sabriz spoke with a deep angry voice; he moved his arms and inhaled. "FUS RO DAH!"
