WHO: Kas, Korrin, Gorse, Taashath + possible eavesdroppers
WHAT: Kas is scared and spreads the fear
WHEN: 4th of Firstfall
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Possibly language, anxiety, 'Bull is an evil spy' hijinks Edit: Unapologetic bandit slaughtering

The teen had tried to keep it a secret for a while, frightened of what would happen if he opened his mouth about it. Even if Krem had tried to calm him by saying the Chargers wouldn't stand for their boss slaughtering the qunari here, Kas knew better. If this 'Iron Bull' got orders, he'd do it, and Krem might not even know about it until they were all dead or missing.

The longer he waited, however, the worse his nightmares were getting, and so where the blackouts where he'd find himself in new areas of the castle with his heart beating painfully in his chest. It had been a while since that had been acting up, so the stress couldn't be good for him at all.

He had to get it off his chest; he had to tell Gorse, and Korrin. Maybe the big Tal-Vashoth guy, too. He couldn't leave them in danger just because he was scared.

...so he finally heads off, grabbing his new daggers and the bow he was still borrowing, and hurries to find them. They had to know. The Ben-Hassrath were here!

"He can't hear you, so unless you're where he can read your lips, he won't know you're talking to him. I might have thought the same thing, had I met him differently."

Korrin doesn't acknowledge those tears verbally, knowing he won't thank her for it, but she rests her hands on his shoulders as much to reassure herself as him.

"Let Gorse know we're looking out for him too, okay? I don't want him more riled up about this than he might already be anyway. You did the right thing, Kas. The more of us that know about this, the better we'll be able to watch out for each other."

Oh. Well. Now he kind of feels bad for thinking the guy was a complete asshole. It makes him look away a bit, trying to deal with that awkward revelation. "Uh... okay."

She puts her hands on his shoulders and he tenses a bit, but... he needs it. He needs that little bit of safety, just for a moment. Then Kas is pulling away and nodding to her. "I'll tell him. I'll tell him right now!"

Korrin nods emphatically to this plan, seeing no reason why the others shouldn't know as soon as possible. "Good, and I'll do the same with Taas. If they really want to gather and discuss it, we can meet back here. I don't know what that will accomplish at this point, though. We just need to remain on guard."

And she also needs to find Krem alone, lest it seem like qunari are ganging up on him.

"Yeah... be careful!"

With those words, he turns to hurry away, almost looking like a proper scout in his outfit and weapons. If only he wasn't on such a pressing mission, he'd probably be proudly swaggering.

...but no. He needed to find Gorse at once. He had to make sure he was safe, too.
