After arriving back at Skyhold a few days ago it had puzzled Tama how everyone seemed to fall immediately back into the normal routine, well if anyones routine could be normal when it came to the Inquisition. Swinging her legs over the stone balcony in her room, Tama lazily gazed down at the people below as they scurried about.

None of them had questioned her sudden return. Why should they? Tama scoffed at her thought as she rested her head on her hand watching as a tavern girl hurried between the soldiers hanging around the courtyard whilst they took another break from their practice.

Swinging her leg she could not help to think back on what had happened …. from watching in a daze as Bull dragged a screaming priest from that dreaded Chantry to watching as Cassandra somehow made the whole village turn their eyes to the ground like children as she addressed them.

A small smile appeared on her face as she remembered Cassandra, she was magnificent, after that incident both of them had become closer and Tama had to admit to herself that she now thought of Cassandra as more of a sister than a friend in arms.

Tama allowed herself to once again think back over things when a now familiar smell reached her, making her chuckle to herself before addressing the person she knew was standing behind her, "Sera. More cookies?"

"Pfft. You know you love them." Sera shrugged placing yet another plate of cookies next to Tama on the balcony before jumping up and joining her as they both looked down on the happenings of Skyhold.

Waiting a moment Tama could feel Sera shuffling next to her, 1...2...3… she mentally counted before, "I forgive you. For now horn face." Tama giggled as Sera stuck her tongue out at her before turning her attention back to the view below.

"You are improving." Tama smiled whilst taking a bite from the fresh batch of cookie delights.

"Hey! how was I to know you hated Elfroot! Jeez!"

They both burst into a fit of hysterics when recalling the moment Sera had stormed into her room and throwing a plate of cookies at Tama, barely missing her head, then standing there demanding that she ate at least one of them. Of course it was only a matter of moments before Tama took one bite before rushing over to the balcony and retching,

"Don't be a drama queen, we leave that up to our overstuffed mage in silks."

"YOU POISONED …. ME!" Tama shouted before turning back and continuing her retching trying to rid her mouth of the horrid taste of the cookie.

"Poison !? oh yeah sure .. death by cookie!" Tama could only glare over shoulder as Sera burst into hysterics.

"What did you …. put in those?" Tama stood wiping her mouth as Sera stood holding her stomach as she continued to laugh at their mighty Inquisitor. It took Sera another round of the laughing fits before she answered Tama's query.

"Jeez woman it is only Elfroot and a few other things." Sera gazed down at the plate of cookies in thought before grabbing one and taking a bite.

"POISON!" Tama screamed rushing to the wine and gulping down nearly half of the pitcher as yet again another round of cackling laughter met her ears.

Sera jumped down from the balcony dusting off her clothing she turned back to Tama, "Oh Varric says we are all having a shindig at the tavern later and you are our guest of honor."

"Sera…"

"To late horn face!" she ran into the room before poking her head back and giggled as she saw Tama with a defeated look on her face, "Make yourself pretty… no wait. You are pretty enough already just be there."

Before Tama could say another word Sera had disappeared only leaving the sound of her hysteric laughter as it made its way to the main hall at the bottom of the stairs leading from the room. This was just great Tama thought brushing her hair out of her face she sighed in defeat, this was it! She knew it was going to be soon, it had puzzled her that no one had questioned her leaving or her sudden return … however it seemed thanks to Varric she would have to face the music tonight down at the Tavern, she could only hope that everyone had a decent amount of alcohol in their systems and hopefully that would soften at least some of the blow.
