I do not own dragon age.

(Miles pov)

I'm once again training with Cassandra and I'm being beaten more than usual. The herald had finally woken. Sonya had apparently spoke to Marcus for awhile before talking the inner circle. They've decided to go to the Hinterlands to speak with Mother Giselle. The plan is for her to go along with Cassandra, Varric, and Solas. The Outsiders were also charged with going with the herald for extra protection. I go to see Cassandra to ask when we leave. I enter the room only to see her shirt off. Her body was covered in sweat and she was also muscular but also had a nice feminine figure. {curves in all the right places} I thought. Then she spots me and gasp "how long were you standing their" she asked embarrassed. {Miles you can say sorry or be bold} I thought. " Long enough to admire almost every inch of you" I said before a fist slams into my chest. " silence." Cassandra yelp " how would you feel if I saw shirtless..." she cut off when remove my own shirt. She look before turning away. "Cassandra I'll be straight up front with this I'm interested in you. I'd push you down right here and now if I could but I'm not. I want to find out what this feeling is. I feel something and think you do as well" I said gently taking her hand " let start as friends first get to know each other first. Then see we're it goes. Just know I may not be able to control myself for long." I said giving her a grin. "We...shall see" Cassandra stuttered out blushing at the confession. {hope that that wasn't to soon. Got her purposely blush so that a good sign.} I thought to myself walking out the room to go prepare.

(CASSANDRA POV)

I couldn't believe what just happened. {was I just confessed to. He said friend friends first but he does desire me.} Cassandra thought sending a tingle down her spine. "Romantic actually"she said to herself {I admit I do feel something. Maybe I should explore this feeling. But friends first just friends.} I thought and continued packing.

(on the road to the Hinterlands) (SONYA POV)

"ok everyone were almost there another day or so." I said as we stop make camp. I jump when a pair of arm wrap around my waist. I turn to see it's Marcus my companion/maybe future boyfriend. "You I've killed people for sneaking up on me." I said " well I would do it to just anyone. We had a conection the moment we spoke to each other. I've never had this feeling before. I slept around but never just talked its nice" Marcus whispered. "Lets make something clear first. I'm not look for a fling. I want this to go somewhere. So don't expect this qunari to give it up easily." Sonya said " For the first time in my life I want someone. To keep them around, and want to share everything with them. I'm not gonna fuck this up I swear. So let me give this relationship a shot Sonya." Marcus said " You wouldn't have your arms around my waist if I was willing to make this work." I said as we cat calls and cheering from Marcus's friends and varric. Now commence embarrassment.

(DEXTER POV)

" Hey Dex" Carmine said sitting on the log next to me. "Word is you been goinging into a certain ambassador room and coming out like twister hit you." Carmine said grinning like and idiot. "Like you can talk you ass. Has the queen of spies become Luna mom yet." I Said causing to spit take spraying ale everywhere. "Fuck Dexter" Carmine said going back to his drink. {He not wrong about the rumor however but that's no business yet.} I thought looking at the fire until Miles sat a stool down and slammed a deck of cards down " let's play" Miles said. Making us all surround the stool for a quick game.

(MILES POV)

After days or was it weeks we finally make it to the Hinterlands. On are way to the village were Mother Giselle is all I hear is fighting. When we see the village. Then in a instant I actavate aura shield as a fire ball is sent my way. It hits the shield I don't get hurt but it sends me flying off the horse. Luna quick takes him out and i draw the hilt and call the spirt blade fourth. We run into the village and end all the Templar and mages. Seeing neither said wanted to talk. We finally caught sight of Giselle.

While Sonya did her job talking to Giselle the rest healed are minor injuries. And help a few refugees. Then we were waved over by Cassandra and Sonya. "So plan" i asked. "We've got to go to Vol rayeaux." Sonya sighed as did we. {Dammit we have to go back their. At least it's not to stay,I hope.} I kept thinking. " But we have a few thing to care here first. Will be breaking up into groups. Miles, Cassandra, Dexter, and me will see the horse master and clear rifts. The rest of you will see corporal vale and help him with what the villages needs." Sonya said giving us a nod to move out.

All of this took all day and most of the night never been so tired. Sonya lead us in killing demons, demon possessed wolves, marking watch tower and getting the horse masters help. As for the others lead by Marcus they crushed both rebel mage and Templar factions,found their supplies, hunted for the villagers, Carmine and Luna help and elfs wife who hard breathing trouble. And we all killed off as many bandits as possible. We setup camp and rested for a whole before preparing to leave. This gave me a chance to really talk and get to know Cassandra. Only she refused to talk about her brother. Touchy subject I guess so I didn't push. She try's say to act tough {well who am I kinda she hard as nails. but I know deep down she can be gentle and sweet I'm sure of it.}I thought finding myself staring at her as we continue up the road away from the Hinterlands.
