[ OPEN ] Inquisition's Hot or Hot DAMN

[ombranera]

FORM:Sending Crystal / Posted copy to the bulletin board
SENDER: Zevran Arainai
RECIPIENT: All
WHAT: The Inquisition is full of stupidly pretty people. This bears discussing.
WHEN: Current
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Respectful oogling, language, and adult content.

I think the time has come to ask a very serious question of the Inquisition. Is it just me or is Skyhold full to bursting with ridiculously sexy individuals? We have statuesque Qunari, lithe Dalish, voluptuous Dwarves, Humans in every glorious shade, size, and shape- and every last one of them incredibly attractive. I had thought to myself- 'Zevran, the Inquisition must be turning away those with less than appealing faces' but no. Handsome men and gorgeous women all. I have tried to list out names and rate them but, alas, there are too many even for I to form an opinion.

Too many gorgeous people. Is that not a marvelous problem to have?

And so I turn to you, my fellow members of the Inquisition. I ask for your aid because I simply cannot keep up with all the lovely people on my own. From a scale of "I would have them tomorrow" to "I would have them right now", how would you rate the beautiful people of Skyhold?

In the interest of fairness- if you name a name? You must list what of them you find terribly attractive- what of them drives you to the point of distraction. I shall go first!

Dorian Pavus - If there is anyone here that might, and I do mean might possibly be prettier than me? It is Dorian. Have you seen him? How can anyone look upon that man and not be at least a little enchanted, if not enthralled? Those smoldering eyes, that sultry voice, the teasing mustache; he I would have right now should he wish.

Merrill - What can I say? She is an utter delight in every possible way- fine boned and sweet, under that innocent smile I promise there is a terribly naughty mind just waiting to be unleashed. Her as well I would have in a heartbeat were I not afraid for my life due to the protective nature of some of her friends.

Knight-Captain Maria - The allure of a dutiful woman is beyond measuring. Her skill in battle, that wry humor, her devotion- I am certain under that templar armor there is a body that would bring many a man and woman to their knees in worship. She? I would have in an hour as I am certain it would take that long to get her out of the armor.

Taashath - I would climb the man like a tree- I have climbed the man like a tree. Those broad shoulders, that rack, his voice, the way his muscles ripple- Maker just recounting the things of him that I find alluring has me a little distracted, I apologize. Reshaping the friendly shores indeed. There is a delightful danger to him- and as such I would have him within an hour, for being made ready takes about that long.

[...He's suddenly reminded of the last post when he got flirty. Thanks, Nerva, he dislikes you a little more now.]

And you're on my list as well. You're beautiful and open about it, sweet, and entirely charming as well.

[samahl]

You deserve the company of beautiful, sweet, charming people so I'm happy to oblige.

[A pause, because he actually is worried that Anders will think he's hiding that attraction for no good reason, when really he's just trying not to draw any more drama to Clan Ashara.]

I never thanked you for helping Pel. She said you healed her after the attack.

Private

[justice_is_blond]

They're my favorite sorts of people.

And yes. I did. I'm glad she has someone else to talk about it with, as she didn't want me telling anyone. Is it you she went to? Did she get some rest?

[samahl]

That's right. She recovered in my room. You helped her a lot, but she needed time to heal some deeper wounds.

I'm afraid that fear of a repeat attack is why I didn't declare my attraction to you publicly. Once things cool down you better believe I'll be flirting out in the open without care.

[justice_is_blond]

Things like that leave wounds that magic can never mind.

[He inhales and exhales, voice a little sad.]

I'd a feeling. I've been attacked a couple of times myself. You don't want to risk even more danger. I don't blame you. Find someone who makes you happy, Cyril, who you don't have to fear being seen with.

[samahl]

I don't-

[He stops himself though, because that's exactly what he's doing and anyway there's something more important there.]

You've been attacked? By who?

[justice_is_blond]

A couple of people. I snarked back at Alejandro when he approached, so that one was probably my fault. Nerva and Bruce, not.

[samahl]

Did they hurt you?

[justice_is_blond]

[He's silent for a few moments before exhaling.]

Yes. But there's nothing to be done. If more people know, then they'll see opportunity for themselves. The vast majority would see it as a good thing, and no minority will change their minds. I strongly doubt their superiors will give a care.

[samahl]

I care. I care a great deal that you were hurt.

You're doing what you can to help now, why can't they let you be?

[justice_is_blond]

Because some people only accept justice when it comes in a form they approve of. Because I'm the convenient target for anger about the war, when many of the other major players are missing or dead. Because I'm a mage who dared fight back, and that shows that anyone held down can take a stand.

But thank you, Cyril, for caring. I... I didn't expect to have as many who do.

[samahl]

All of those are pretty lousy reasons for hurting someone.

[He knows that's kind of a childish response, but he doesn't care.]

I want to do something to show you that not everyone is like that. Anything you need?

[justice_is_blond]

You know that just saying as much does a great deal, right? But I'd never turn down company for a cup of tea or a meal, either.

[samahl]

A cup of tea and a meal it is then. I'd offer to make you something Dalish, but I'm pretty terrible at anything other than roasting something dead over a fire.

Unless it's maple candy. Pel and I used to make maple candy all of the time.

[justice_is_blond]

I've never had maple candy. Are the things you need available?

[samahl]

Hm, I think so? I can ask Pel too if she thinks any of the trees around here will work.

[justice_is_blond]

Would you mind? Dinner and a drink and that? I can get the food for dinner and the tea.

[samahl]

I wouldn't mind that at all. We'll have to work out the details about where and when, but it sounds fun.

[justice_is_blond]

It does, thank you. Let me know when you're free; I'm generally done healing by early evening. This is... This is something to look forward to.

[He hasn't had a lot of those.]
