I am Elissa Cousland.
Just sittin' around.
Things had been getting slightly easier for Elissa, she was surrounded by good people now and felt safer when she was asleep she knew that they were there for her she finally slept easy, home was where these people were. Leliana was a much better cook the Morrigan and Alistair, Ser Gilmore, Leliana and Elissa sat around the fire chatting happily most evenings. They had just left the Dalish elves who were a lot nicer than they were made out to be in the tales told by old fish wives. Since leaving the Dalish they had travelled to the outskirts of Redcliff and should be seeing Arl Eamon the next day. They were having some stew that Leliana had claimed was a delicacy in Orlais, but from the looks of the food that was in front of them they assumed Leliana was exaggerating more than just a little.
"So if I remember correctly, my lady was trying to 'rebel' and climbed out of the window in her room, she fell though and broke her leg!" Ser Gilmore laughed happily as he brought another spoonful to his mouth and turned to look at Elissa who was red in the face with embarrassment.
"Roland please stop!" Elissa laughed and put her empty bowl down on the ground. She shoved his shoulder harshly and he just started laughing and carried on talking to Leliana and Alistair who were listening intently, Roland had told stories of his Elissa's antics.
"So she was yelling for help and luckily for her I came across her - I was leaving the kitchen after stealing a midnight snack - She told me to take her back to her room and I was strictly going 'but you need to see the nurse? Your legs swollen'" He laughed and Alistair smirked trying not to spit out his food, it was not so much the story but Elissa's face.
"It seems like our dear warden has some stories to tell!" Leliana also laughed and put another spoonful of stew into her bowl. For being the smallest one here she ate the most, maybe it was because everything they ate was what she cooked.
"I will not be sharing any of these!" Elissa shouted and rested her head in her hands. Ser Gilmore was always the best at embarrassing her no matter what age they were at.
"You might not but I will!" Ser Gilmore laughed and carried on talking as he gently shoved Elissa's shoulder. "So I carried her back to her room at her request and placed her down in her bed and was about to leave when her Lady Cousland barged in wonder what all the noise was. She instantly got the wrong idea; it was understandable I mean I was leaning over My Lady and her arms where around my neck." Ser Gilmore laughed loudly and put her down his bowl and nodded in thanks to Leliana.
Elissa leaned to hit him again but Alistair wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. "I think that's enough of you stacking him for one evening!" Alistair laughed Elissa sat herself on Alistair's lap where he was keeping her away from Ser Gilmore who she was willing to knock unconscious to keep him mouth shut.
"I was sent to the kitchen where Nan would have some chores for me, even though it was the middle of the night!" Ser Gilmore smiled and shook his head casually and then looked at the group around him. "My lady knew how to strap up her leg and so for a few days she just put her limp down to cramp from sleeping in an awkward position. It was only when her older brother started toy fighting with her that she fell over and once again shouted out in pain. It was suddenly revealed her leg was broken and Fergus was banished to the kitchen to be punished alongside me and my lady never got suspected once!" Ser Gilmore laughed.
"Just goes to show that I'm smarter than you!" Elissa retorted quickly and reached out to hit him only to be forced back by Alistair who reminded her swiftly that he was restraining her.
"No it just shows that you're more mischievous than the rest of us!" Leliana laughed in her sweet shy voice.
"Humph." Elissa snorted and crossed her arms trying to keep a straight face but finding it difficult knowing that Alistair was making stupid faces behind her.
