Hope you all enjoy and thank you for all the support :)

Slowly everyone began to return to the table and take up their seats, Tama and Bull were still recovering from the burning of the last drink of Dragon's blood. Earning them both some odd looks from a number of their companions.

"What have I missed?" Varric queried, stroking his stubble as he settled down and began shuffling the deck of cards.

Tama could not speak and could only nod towards the bottle with the deep red liquid sitting proudly in the middle of the table.

Bull could only laugh as he noticed Tama recovering slowly from what could've been their third or fourth drink, it was easy to lose count especially when his attention was always drawn to her. "Here have a drink." he grabbed the bottle and began pouring everyone a drink, earning him a small amused scowl from Tama who however accepted the drink without any protest.

Tama giggled as she saw everyone take their drinks, turning to Bull she could only blush as he gave her a mischievous wink before drowning his own drink, following in his suit Tama coughed a little once more as the alcohol hit the back of her throat.

"Maker! what …. is …. that…" Cullen coughed through his words, his eyes watering at the corners.

"This is not alcohol." Cassandra protest slamming her tankard down whilst trying to hide her own fits of coughing.

"Dragon's Blood." Tama spoke, her throat recovering a lot quicker then the first drink she took.

"A Qunari speciality." she continued before motioning for the barmaid to bring them a round of regular ale.

"Bright eyes, I think that would kill any normal person." Varric began setting out the cards for a new round of Wicked Grace, "Thank the maker none of us are normal." he whispered rather loudly and was met with everyone's nod of approval.

Once everyone had recovered the game got underway, silence slowly descended on the group as everyone concentrated on their cards. Tama could only look at her hand in confusion, what the hell did two swords, one priest and a warrior mean? Looking around she noticed everyone was still deep in throat. Taking a drink of ale she nudged Bull softly in the side grabbing his attention, "Help" she mouthed behind her hand and she could've hit him as he roared with laughter.

Tama's stomach began to have butterflies as Bull put his arm around the back of her chair and moved himself even more closer to Tama. She could feel his breath softly blowing on her ear as he gazed down at her hand.

"Shall we begin with 2 silver?" Josephine smirked over her hand.

"Please we play for real money." Bull winked once again at Tama who blushed once more making him chuckle, "We will start with 5 gold." Protests and mumbles of agreement travelled around the table before the game began to get fully underway.

Round after round Tama was slowly getting used to the game and numerous rules, however her attention was still drawn to Bull and how close he was to her. Whenever a round of drinks ended he would get up and stumble towards the bar, order more, then return and once again place his arm around her chair and sit closely to her. Every so often she would mentally cursed herself as her mind wandered into thoughts that well did not help the situation at all. But the most distracting thing that came to her was that this felt natural, sitting next to him this close, having his arm resting behind her and feeling his hand brush against her hair at her back every so often when he moved to look at her cards.

"I win once again!" Josephine cheered loudly before catching herself. Everyone groaned as they placed their hands on the table. Tama could only chuckle as Josephine tried to keep her ladylike appearance up however the alcohol was stopping it from happening.

"I have figured you out!" Cullen slammed his tankard down on the table as he swayed a little in his chair.

"Oh really commander?" Josephine smirked, "Varric deal another hand." she was also swaying in her seat.

Tama was about to speak when Bull stopped her by whispering, "Watch this princess." It no longer bothered her that he was so close, his breath brushing against her face. Tama could only chuckle as she turned back and watched Varric deal another hand to the very competitive pair at opposite sides of the table.

Sitting back Bull smiled as he noticed Tama was no longer nervous with him sitting next to her, hell he doubted if he had been this close to her before. Taking a drink of ale he could feel the alcohol making its way through his system, and it seemed from the look of everyone else it was having the same effect. He had lost count on how many rounds they had managed to work their way through it had to be at least in the double digit numbers.

Placing down his drink he could not help but smile as Tama sat backwards and leaned softly against him as bickering began once again across the table, he seemed as if he was in automatic mode when he rested his head against hers, smiling softly when he felt her chuckling at the insults, Josephine was flinging over at Cullen, (if they could be called that.).

Varric smirked, "You've lost curly." which was followed by roaring laughter from everyone else.

"Not a word dwarf." Cullen sneered trying to hide his embarrassment as he sat naked in front of his companions.

"Oh my!" Dorian flustered biting his hand as he took in the sight of the mighty lion in only his birthday suit.

She tried to hold back her laughter but it was no use, Dorian was the breaking point and it was only a matter of seconds after he spoke that Tama burst into hysterics. Followed by everyone else.

"Traitors!" Cullen spoke before holding his head high and walking out of the tavern.

Dorian stood and patted Josephine on the shoulder, "My dear you are a genius." before straightening his robes he stumbled towards the door, leaning on his staff so he did not lose his balance, "Well chaps I have a lion to tame." Wiggling his eyebrows he left leaving everyone else to recover from the hysterics.

One by one everyone began standing to leave, stumbling themselves as they regained their balance, "Good night Inquisitor." Josephine spoke while being helped to walk by Blackwall whose cheeks were a nice rosy shade of pink. They were shortly followed by Cassandra and Varric who once more were bickering over something.

Finishing off her drink Tama began to stand and was quickly held up by Bull, "Easy princess." he laughed even though he himself was also leaning on her to steady himself.

"I'm … good." Tama slurred her words and once more Bull laughed earning him a punch in the arm. "Good night." She only managed a couple of steps before falling on her butt. "Not. A. Word."

Bull couldn't help laughing, she was definitely one of a kind, "Ok my mighty warrior princess time to call it a night." Before she could protest he picked her up as if she was nothing and put her over his shoulder. However unlike the last incident Tama was not kicking or screaming but was happily humming a tune as they slowly made their way to her room.
