"I thought this was supposed to be difficult," Vivienne commented distastefully as a pride demon withered away into Fade ash. Usually, the beasts took more effort to bring them down, but the worries of everyone about Adamant were becoming laughable.
Aaron, thinking of Morrigan and Kieran, snapped out of his reverie. "For all you know, a dragon could be hiding around a corner. Don't let your guard down."
"Darling, I never let my guard down." Vivienne righted her hennin while she asked Vry, "Do you see any more siege weapons?"
Vry's eyes widened with the unexpected question. "Why are you asking me?"
Vivienne shrugged. "Because you're tall."
"I'm not that tall!"
Vivienne's disapproving click of her tongue suggested she thought otherwise.
Sera slid up beside Vry. "I could always take her trousers. Or her funny hat. Or just stick an arrow up her arse." She snorted. "Not like she doesn't have one up there already."
"I heard that," Vivienne announced icily.
"Good," Sera spat.
Vry slid a hand down her face. "Whose idea was it to put Vivienne and you in the same group?"
"Ask Her Inquisitorialness. She's the one who put herself in with Solas." Sera mocked the two by smashing her hands together and making kissing noises.
Vry inspected the area. "I wonder why we got stuck with the siege engines. We're already done, I think. It looks like everyone else has everything under control."
"Hey!" Sera jumped up and down, balancing herself by setting her hands on Vry's shoulder. "How 'bout we go join their group?"
"Whose group?" Vry asked.
"Sulahn's. They're going after jerkface from the desert fort. They might need help bashing his face in properly." For emphasis, Sera slammed a fist into the palm of her other hand. Her expectant gaze, like a puppy's, softened Vry.
"Okay. Hey, guys! We're going to join the Inquisitor's group!"
Aaron followed after them without a word, Morrigan's worry over her dreams filling his thoughts.
"I am . . afraid," Morrigan's voice drifted back to him. "I have had dreams the past few nights, dreams of the Fade itself . . . and you in it."
A/N: I realized after making the groups that putting Vivienne and Sera together was literally the worst (but also best :) decision
