Rachel is in Team 3... that's going to be fun. Do you really want her on a roof? :D
Thea cursed herself for not noticing the dead silence of the woods earlier. She supposed it was difficult while listening to the templar debate with the Tranquil. It seemed that even cold, emotionless logic had its usefulness at times. Kaitlyn's aversion to her use of magic wasn't the problem now. There was only one reason that would render the forest completely silent of all life.
Darkspawn
Thea narrowed her eyes and called on her training. If a life growing up among the Dalish had taught her anything, it was to see through the dense vegetation and spot even the tiniest hare observing them. A darkspawn and the corruption that seeped off them like a cloud was much more blatant. "They're coming from our left." She offered to the templar immediately. She wasn't petty enough to wish the woman dead, nor did she wish to fight off the darkspawn alone. Her robes offered no protection from darkspawn blades or arrows at all.
"If they've driven off the wildlife, there are at least ten of them." She added quietly, unsure if the templar wished to reconsider her plan of action. There was no way they could outrun the monsters, not with two mages - one of them an inexperienced rider - in tow. Their alternative was to fight, and win. Thea loathed drawing too much attention to the kind of magic she could do, but it wasn't worth her sacrificing her life over a matter of pride. "Don't panic." Those were the last words she spoke to the templar before she started chanted and ushering the magic of the forest into her hands. Waving them about in an intricate movement, she directed the magic towards the nearest sapling, large enough to rival even an ogre in height but small enough that it didn't strain her abilities if she had to fight.
"That's the best I can do with the amount of time we have to prepare." She offered helpfully. "Unless you give your permission to do more, mistress." She had been raised smarter than to pick a fight with the only swordsman in their party with darkspawn bearing down on them, but she couldn't care less at the moment. The silhouette of the first darkspawn appeared shortly after she finished speaking and only by throwing a shield around herself on instinct did she survive the first arrow that bounced harmlessly off it. Whatever stories about how mindless the darkspawn were, they certainly knew how to use a bow; Thea would have been shot in the heart had it not been for her quick action. She grudgingly threw it up around Kaitlyn as well. "It'll be less effective the closer you are to the archers. Shall I take care of them for you? If you're not too afraid of me turning into an abomination before then, that is."

If you're not too afraid of me turning into an abomination before then, that is."
"Your concern is touching, truly." Thea replied sarcastically as she fidgeted and adjusted in the saddle, not quite sure how to seat herself comfortable since the Dalish never rode their halla or any beast. "Though for all the good it does us, I have never ridden a horse in my life. Do you see any of them here in the camp?" She added irritably. She doubted the templar really had any real experience fighting darkspawn at all, since the templars rarely left their tower. It seemed that the Chantry didn't truly appreciate the horror of a blight if they could waste time chasing down apostates - especially one living among the Dalish without any trouble - instead of aiding the war effort.
"You might be confident you can handle a few stragglers on the road, but until we are out of this forest we are in danger of encountering their scouting parties. I pray for your sake you will not be foolish enough to ask me to refrain from using my magic if we should come across them." Thea was raised to use her magic like it was a part of herself. It was as natural to her as a warrior's sword was to its wielder. Had any of the darkspawn or threats appeared in the camp, the Keeper would never think to stop Thea from using her magic to defend the clan, save for a reminder to keep from using fire or destroying the aravels. What she had heard about how these shemlen treated magic, however...
"Just so we're clear," She added with a tone of finality. "My Dalish magic is not blood magic and I would thank you not to run your blade through me just because you were jumpy. I shall not be responsible for any harm to your person if that happens." The Keeper asked Thea to go with the templar and to honor the wishes of the Chantry, but he certainly did not tell her to be kind or polite about it. If the templar gave her even the smallest chance to flee, she would. Unfortunately the clan would be the first place to come under scrutiny and threat so even if she did evade Kaitlyn, there was no way to return to her clan once she left. Another brilliant thing she could thank the chantry for.

DO NOT DARE PRESUME THAT YOU CAN INJECT LOGIC INTO TRUE LUVI mean, I agree.
YES I CAN I JUST NEED 200 BEERS AND A LOAD OF ASPIRIN THE NEXT MORNING.
Also, this is fun. Daiki is turning more into me when he's interacting with Grizel. And by that I mean being totally awkward around cute girls he goes into a self induced paralysis.
It's fun not trying to write a character that is just smooth as fuck all the time
"No! I wasn't talking to you!" Daiki replied hastily. Waving his hands in front of him frantically. "I didn't mean that! Uh.. it's not that you're not pretty or anything because you are.. uh no wait - I was talking to my sword." He finished in mortification.
"I do that some times." He added after taking a deep breath. "I grew up in a forest, like I said. Sentry duty gets boring if you don't find something to occupy yourself with... I wouldn't randomly start calling a girl 'darling' unless-" He stopped himself right there. No, let's not go there. He decided. She might think I'm confessing or something.
The human boy considered falling on his own blade in embarrassment. At least she hadn't run in terror or downright shot his not - an - actual - confession down. Though now that the thought was wedged in his mind, he had to admit he quite enjoyed Grizel's company so far. He would never have imagined calling a faunus friend before coming here, and probably still wouldn't outside of school, at least until they proved they wouldn't be stealing his stuff. With Grizel he could easily forget her faunus status until he noticed her ears again.
He stopped himself before his imagination and train of thought headed down a cliff he did not intend to plunge off of. "Right. Moving on..." He muttered... "What do you think we'll be doing?"

Not even Aesil can get between a man and his sword. D:<
Daiki is just made a pun out of slash fics. You can't get between him and his sword. Both of them
RolePlayerRoxas said
Would it be easier for you if I had Grizel drag Daiki to the bedroom or something?
FTFY.
But I posted... Real life's been a bitch lately.
"Where are we going that we need an airship for transport?" Daiki asked Grizel curiously and boarded in a rush like everyone else. "They sure like to emphasize the whole 'get in or get out' thing huh?" He added as he sighed at the overly dramatic announcement. It wasn't as if ten minutes wasn't enough for everyone to get on the ship, unless they were running late, in which case he doubted they would have heard that reminder anyway. Beacon sure was strange, or was it simply because Daiki was used to a more relaxed pace of life?
Once the ship was in the air Daiki sighed and relaxed near a window. Everything seemed much smaller from the air and for a moment, Daiki almost forgot why he was on the airship in the first place. "It's a nice view but I guess we won't get to enjoy it for long, huh?" He murmured. He stood close to the window the entire time, watching the ground below disappear beneath his feet, stroking his katana as he pondered what trials they would face. "Well, I suppose we've been through a lot, what's one more test eh, darling?" Daiki whispered to his sword before remembering he was in actual company now and glanced at Grizel to make sure she hadn't misunderstood and thought he was calling her 'darling'.

I'm having a bout of writer's block, but I'll post something soon, I promise.
