Judy: Yay! I'm glad you think so!


Chapter 49

'Oh my god this is Isabela's favourite game,' Makatza complained with a laugh.

'What is?' Aveline asked as she sipped her beer. The pirate had managed to get all the girls into one room and was bouncing in her chair in delight.

'She calls it-'

'''What would he do?''!' Isabela screeches happily interrupting Makatza. Katza waved a hand in Isabela's direction while looking at Aveline.

'I'm going to need another drink for this,' Makatza moaned and then thanked Merrill who slid over a bottle of wine. They were all sitting in Isabela's room having a girly hour while Varric and Garrett smoked cigars and played cards with Fenris. 'It's basically where she picks a guy and tries to guess what they'd be like in bed,' she explains making Merrill giggle. 'It's different every time and never ceases to amuse her,' she laughs as the pirate cackles leaning back in her chair.

'Okay, Aveline, pick a man!' Isabela instructs.

'Oh um, okay... Johnny,' she says pulling a random name out the air.

'Ah! We've not done Johnny before,' she says approvingly. 'First category, kissing. Merrill thoughts?'

'Uh, ooh! Uh, no wait... sweet! With tongues!' She says happily. Makatza laughs and rolls her eyes as Isabela nods satisfied with her answer. The poor barman, I'm never going to be able to look him in the eye again, Makatza mentally laughs.

'Aveline, dirty talk,' she says without really phrasing it like a question.

'Bad, I've heard him talk to women, it would be all, ''aight, love. You like that don't ya'' and that's just a turn off,' Aveline smirks as Makatza snorts into her glass. They had been drinking for a couple of hours and Makatza was feeling tipsy without feeling out of it which was a nice combination. 'Katza, foreplay,' Aveline says jumping in on the game.

Makatza thinks for a second and shakes her head, 'naa pretty crap, it'll be all tits, tits, tits, then arse and then he'll wanna dive in,' she says making Isabela howl in laughter and Merrill spit her beer back into her mug. 'I mean, it'll be a good feeling tits, tits, tits, then arse but nothing refined or mind blowing,' she giggles. 'Izzy, the sex. Go.'

'Seeing as I actually haven't slept with him,' Isabela said earning a disbelieving cough from Aveline, 'I'd have to say that that bit I think he'd actually be pretty good at,' she says as she twiddles a dagger on the table. 'Seen the way he pours a pint? With care and concentration. I reckon he'd be slow and deep,' she kicks the table leg in a rhythm, 'just enough to get you there,' she grins. Makatza laughs as her face goes bright red with the image. 'Okay, back to you Merrill, the orgasm,' she says bluntly making the elf go wide eyed.

'His or mine?' She asked in a panic making the rest of them roar in glee. 'Oh.. his? His!' She guesses much to their amusement. 'Wan' me ta act it out?' She says confused. Makatza had her head buried in her arms as she laughed so hard she thought she was going to be sick.

'Jus...Just say what you think he'd do,' Makatza gasps between giggles as she looks up at the elf.

'OH! Aye, I can do that,' Merrill says grinning at them all. 'I think he'd go all stiff an' like raise his head as if prayin' to the Maker or somthin',' she says acting it out anyway making Aveline snort in laughter. 'An' then he'll go, ''I'm gonna...!'' An' then like all men, roll over an' go to sleep,' she says simply. They all looked at each other before dissolving into piles of dirty snickering.

'Again!' Isabela demands. 'This time, we're gonna pick someone that Katza actually likes!'

'Ah Izzy no, don't,' Makatza whines as she grabs the bottle of wine.

'Come ooooon, you never let me do him,' Isabela moans. 'Literally and figuratively,' she adds earning a smirk out of her best friend. 'Ha! You laughed, means I get to,' she says triumphantly. 'I choose, Fenris,' she says simply. 'An' we're gonna talk about him like he's in bed with you.'

'Surprise, surprise how did I know this was coming?' Makatza says dryly with a smile.

'Oh sweetness, you'll know when he's com-' She was muted by Makatza's hand over her mouth and she gives her a look.

'Okay, okay, Aveline, the kissing,' Makatza says starting the game. She knew what he was like but none of the others did and it would be interesting to see what they thought he would be like.

'This is with you, yes?'

Makatza nods and rolls her eyes at her best friend. 'Yes, with me,' she clarifies.

'Ah well then that's a whole different ball game,' Aveline grins as she tops up Makatza's wine. 'I think he would be sweet, slow and gentle,' she says simply. 'Like he's afraid of hurting you.'

'That's romantic,' Makatza says in a monotone trying not to narrow her eyes.

'Aveline has a point,' Isabela nods. 'He always acts so careful around you, I think that if you do kiss it would be really boring,' she laughs earning herself a playful growl from Makatza. 'Seriously though, it would be. Until he realised you're not made of china then bam, total shift! He'd push you against a wall and dominate you.'

'Gotta agree with the slattern on this one,' the guard captain nods.

'Really? Merrill? What do you think?' Makatza asks, they had pretty much got it dead on. She wanted someone to be wrong.

'I think what they think,' she admits. 'He's so kind an' sweet to ya. Tis 'bout the only time he actually seems to care. I think he'd kiss you soft an' then later on more passionate.' Makatza made an 'ugh' noise and sits back in her chair and draining her glass. 'Can I do the foreplay?' Merrill asks making them all grin. 'I think he'd be all carin', firm but gentle,' she says.

'Right, the sex,' Isabela cackles. 'Oh I've been looking forward to this one,' she says digging a blushing Katza in the ribs. 'I reckon by this point after all the teasing and the glistening. I think he'd make you beg for it, I really think his dirty talk is like proper dirty and good. Like he'd use all those different languages in that deep voice of his and when you're quivering with want and dripping in lust then he just ruins you,' she says seductively. Makatza's face could fry eggs and she grabs another bottle of wine and pops the cork out quickly in her haste to pour herself another glass.

'That was quite descriptive there,' Aveline chuckles looking at Makatza. 'I think you're right about the dirty talk too. He'd definitely make use of all those languages. I'll admit his voice is very nice,' she nods. Merrill too had gone a little pink under the collar and held out her empty mug for Makatza to fill up. 'So, what we all really want to know is how does it end?' Aveline says suggestively.

'Katza this one is all yours,' Isabela grins. 'Hopefully literally in the future,' she teases.

'Oh fucking hell, kill me now,' Makatza laughs as she drowns herself in her wine for a moment. 'How am I supposed to be able to look at him once I've contemplated his... y'know,' she giggles into her glass.

'Ya just got ta remember ta blink, tis all,' Merrill advises making Makatza smile and shake her head in amusement.

'Okay, okay. So. I reckon when he comes to that point,' she says tactfully, 'he will pull you-'

'Pull you,' Isabela corrects.

'Izzy!' Makatza laughs and rolls her eyes. 'Fine, he'll pull me close and hold me tightly as he just moans my name,' she says feeling a rush of heat in her navel as she imagines it. It was simple and that's all she really needed to say about it as the others nodded.

'And I think he'd fucking glow!' Isabela announces making Makatza spray her little of her wine. 'No, no I do, I really do!' She cackles as Aveline shakes her head. 'You should see his tattoos around Katza, if she's got her pulse-y thing going he reacts and I reckon he'd fucking glow.'

Makatza pushes her chair back and laughs as she picks up the empty bottles. 'If you're quite finished trying to embarrass me,' she teases as she pulls a strand of the pirate's hair. 'I'm going to get more wine,' she says grabbing the bottle that Aveline passed to her. 'Is that okay with you? Your highness?' She mocks Isabela who laughs and nods her head.

'Yeah, we're gonna go another round. Merrill, pick a man!' Isabela demands as Makatza leaves the room with a smile. She walks down the stairs and puts the bottles on the bar asking one of the new barmaids for a couple more and a bottle of whiskey. She wanted to be silly for once and drink something a little harder than wine, waiting for her drinks took a couple minutes and she thanked the woman adding it to the tab they had running as she grabbed the wine. She was just about to grab the whiskey when somebody else picked it up.

'Hey, that's not- oh, Fenris,' she says as she turns to see him holding it. He wore a smile that made her go a little weak behind the knees. 'What's up?' She asked aware that there were others around them.

'Nothing,' he says simply. 'I saw you leaving Isabela's room and thought you might like some help.'

'That's kind of you,' she says biting her lip as she remembers what she was talking about only minutes ago with the girls. 'Want to help me carry these back upstairs?' She said mainly for the benefit of the others around her. The look he was giving her made her stomach do backflips, she turned without waiting for him to reply and began to walk up towards the landing. He grabbed the whiskey and followed her, they waited for somebody to pass them in the corridor before he found the first available hiding place in the form of a cupboard and dragged her inside. Makatza giggled and clapped her hands over her mouth once she put the wine down on a random shelf. 'We don't have long,' she warns. 'They'll come looking for me.'

'Then I had better make do with the time I have,' he says simply as he grabs her wrists and holds them over her head as he kisses her passionately, pushing himself against her as she returns his kiss catching his lip with her teeth making him inhale sharply. 'Venhedis,' he murmurs through the moment, Makatza made his head swim in insensibilities and every second he touched her made any logical sense fly out the window. He releases her wrists as he runs his hands through her hair feeling her nails lightly run down his back as she moves closer. Their tongues begin to entwine as it becomes heavier and more stifling, she moans into his grip and he can't help but crush her lips with his in response. There was a noise outside the door and they both freeze for a instant.

'Where is she?' It was Aveline's voice and by the sounds of it she had walked past their hiding place.

Makatza giggles and moves away from him, their time was up, 'oh shit! You've got lipstick-'

'It is fine,' he whispers as he kisses her softly. 'Go. I will find you again later,' he promises. Makatza grins and squeezes his hand as she picks up the bottles and sneaks out the cupboard towards the lady's bathroom. She puts down the alcohol on the side as she looks in the mirror and begins to wash her smudged lipstick away to hide what she'd been doing. This sneaking about with Fenris was turning out to actually be fun, it was nice knowing something that everyone else didn't.

'There you are. Did you get lost?' Aveline said appearing in the doorway making her jump.

'Oh! No, I just needed to pee, that wine went straight through me. That's what I get for not eating,' she laughs lightly as Aveline grabs the wine and whiskey.

'We're joining the lads again, apparently you've got a game to play?'

'Yeah, it's called, ''never have I ever,'' and it's gonna get people ruined,' she grins wickedly, it was time for some payback on Isabela's end. 'I'll explain the rules on the way,' Makatza says as she checks her face one last time in the mirror.

'Oh Katza, you've taken all your lipstick off,' Aveline comments.

'It was fading anyway,' she shrugs trying to hide her smirk as she picks up the last couple bottles. In a total surprise they see Fenris who was returning from the bar on their way back, 'I would have thought you would have had enough,' Makatza teases lightly as they join him in walking back to Varric's room. Aveline chuckles and holds open the door for them as they walk into the smokey haze that was the main room. 'Jeez, open a window you troll,' Katza says as she does so.

'Right Katza,' said Isabela from Garrett's lap. 'This game. Explain.'

'It's really easy,' she says as she sits on the sofa and then gets up to grab the whiskey. 'Sit where ever you want, you just need to be able to hear people that's all,' she says as she sits back down. 'You must always have a drink ready, that's rule one. Rule two, you must always tell the truth and you'll see what I mean in a minute. So what you do is this,' she pours herself a drink and then looks at everyone. 'Never have I ever... seen a nug,' she says the first thing off the top of her head. 'Then if you have seen a nug you have to drink. That's why you have to tell the truth but if someone does drink you're not allowed to ask them any details.'

'Oooooh,' Merrill says clapping her hands. 'I get it, that sounds fun.'

'Sounds like it could be dirty,' Varric smirks as he winks at Katza. 'That's a dangerous game alright. Everyone take a seat then or I don't think you're gonna be able to walk in a few rounds,' he laughs. Merrill takes a seat on the floor a cushion under her, Varric and Aveline take the armchairs, Isabela was lounging over Garrett in a large chair and Fenris had simply sat next to Makatza on the sofa without ceremony.

'Can I go first?' Varric says simply. Makatza nods and pours a drink for Fenris and then hands the bottle to Garrett. 'Never have I ever ….. kissed somebody we know,' he smirks knowing full well that several people had.

'Bastard,' Aveline mutters as she knocks one back having kissed Hawke in anger before.

Obviously Isabela and Garrett have to drink. Merrill is reminded by Varric that she kissed Isabela a few years back and everyone looked at Makatza. 'What?' She said as she drank out her cup, 'you all know about Seb,' she says shrugging a shoulder, then Fenris took a sip out of his glass and the silence rolled around the room. They all looked at each other and Makatza played along giving Isabela a look of wonder and shock.

'Who the hell have you kissed?' Garrett asked and got a blank stare in return.

'You are not allowed to ask,' Fenris says bluntly suppressing a smirk. 'Makatza, does that mean he gets a punishment?' He said slyly as he looked over at her and she grinned. Her cousin looked at her in horror as she teamed up with his friend and she nods.

'Yes, yes it does,' she says as she leans forward. 'Finish your drink,' she says simply. Garrett complains about the unfairness of it all and how they were all curious but Isabela almost upends his drink into his mouth.

'Next!' She announces as her lover almost drowned.

'I've got a good one,' Aveline laughs. 'Never have I ever... been bitten on the ass by a spider,' she chuckles to the groans around her. Makatza laughs, this was going to be a very revealing night.
