Leliana watch from her corner in the tavern as the strange group entered, the elven pair in front were clearly the ones in command of the group given the aura they walked with. Leliana was surprised to see that the elven pair looked more like they would be at home in a port side tavern than a land bound tavern given how they dressed like sea raiders, the other women with them was clearly a witch given her staff. The males with them also were strange given the one was in the armour of a warden while the other was the large qunari from the cage outside of town there was also either a small bear or a monstrously large mabari with them. She started to move towards the group as the soldiers began arguing with them.
"Gentlemen surely there is no need for violence, these poor souls are surely just refuges seeking shelter from the blight." Leliana tried soothing the soldiers.
"Out of the way sister these are grey wardens and traitors to the crown." The lead soldier snarled.
"And just how are we traitors when your commander was the one who ran with his tail between his legs?" the elven woman asked sarcastically.
"Treyn Loghain claims the grey wardens betrayed the king and left him to die or did you not know that?" Leliana asked and was confused when the woman looked like she had been smacked.
"Ok we need to talk after this is dealt with my dear sister." The elf said as the guards drew their weapons and attacked.
After the fighting was over Leliana approached the group and asked to come with them and the twins as they turned out to be agreed very quickly and after a whispered set of words to the witch by the male elf the witch agreed to come as well.
"When we set camp for the night you and I need to have a talk my dear bard." The female elf said and that comment made Leliana's blood run cold, how could she know what leliana was?
Selva pulled Leliana aside after the evening meal and turned to her quickly stripping off her top and bra to show Leliana her soulmark but the bard turned away.
"I did not join for sex ma'am so please put your top on and leave me alone!" Leliana cried.
"No my dear bard I am not trying to get it on with you I am showing you my soulmark to show you that you are my mate!" Selva snapped shivering in the cold that made her nipples hard enough to cut glass at this point.
Finally, the bard turned around and saw the marks as Selva turned around to show the bright orange words that would normally be covered by the strap of her bra, Leliana paled and shook her head taking a step back.
"I am sorry but those may be the words I spoke but yours were not mine." Leliana said and Selva sighed.
"Really mine should have been in elven and if you translated them they would be along the lines of an apology and me saying I must go, as the first words I said were when I stole your bra and coin purse." Leliana froze and her hand flew to her marks making it look like she was cupping her breast.
"Oh well that makes sense, I am sorry that I did not say anything at the time." Leliana said.
"Oh that is ok as I had only stolen those to get a higher rank on the raider ship I was serving on so I probably would have just ran away anyway!" Selva said laughing as she pulled her clothes back on and guided Leliana back to the fire.
'at least this blight will be less cold at night than I thought.' Selva and Leliana thought at the same time as they sat next to each other by the fire light.
"Be careful little bard, my sister is a bitter in the sack and a scream so either let her bite when she crests or gag her so we don't need to hear." Her ass of a brother said as he sat with Morrigan between his legs reading a thick tome.
"And just how do you know this?" Leliana asked fearfully.
"Relax my dear bard my brother and I have shared quarters our entire life and a few time bed mates but we have never done the deed as that cross sex boundaries that even we don't dare cross!" Selva said laughing as she nipped at her soulmates throat making Leliana shiver.
Selva spent the rest of her watch that night talking with the bard, well mostly listening as the bard talked. Soon as the bard left to move her belongings into the tent she would be sharing with Selva now Selva pulled out her journal and began righting in it, she recounted the day's events and her plans for the future. Once Leliana was done Selva crawled in after her to sleep as they were both to tired to do anything just yet.
