Ebasit Ben-Hassrath maraas-toh, tal-eb iss mer-toh ari-van.

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!

"I think I'd feel better sleeping with someone else around, too." Gorse said. Also, he took up quite a bit of room being as big as he was and space was kind of at a premium... he'd look into the barracks and whatnot when the rest of Skyhold wasn't held together with scaffolding and spit.

"Are you going to be okay for a while? I'm sure you've got a lot to do, I want to check on Korrin and Taas. You can come with me if you'd like, though."

Kas didn't care if they so had to sleep in the ramparts, as long as they had eachother's backs. Blight, maybe even round up the others and have a qunari pile. Then again... it would make it easier for someone to take them all out in one big sweep, so maybe not.

"I gotta go to training... but..." The teen pauses, looking at Gorse and setting his jaw in a more stubborn look. "No, I'll be good. There's lotsa people around." He rubs the back of his head and then tries a more confident approach.

"Go talk to them. I'll learn to shoot while you're at it!"

Gorse smiles as Kas's determination sets in.

"Good, you'll be great at it. Then you can look out for all of us."

Standing, Gorse resisted the urge to ruffle Kas's hair. Already he'd gotten a hug out of the kid, that was quite a bit.

The kid gives a stern nod at that, taking it in like a personal goal. Become strong. Protect everyone. He could do that... that hug had helped more than he'd realized, easing a bit of the fright inside him and making way for the stubbornness. Despite his prickly demeanor, Kas was starved for affection.

"Say hi to Korrin from me when you see her, yeah?" The teen calls out as he turns to leave, giving Gorse a slight thumbs up after wiping his face again with his sleeve. He refused to show up at practice all flushed and red-eyed, after all.

Gorse nodded, waving as Kas ran off. He stayed where he was until the teen was out of sight.

He was concerned, of course, but danger was a strange thing, always just beyond the horizon. He didn't really know how to properly respond to it.

He'd talk to Taas and Korrin and feel better, surely.
