WHO: Korrin and Krem (closed)
WHAT: A chat with Krem about Kas' disturbing news.
WHEN: After her talk with Kas.
WHERE: Skyhold (vague for now, will edit as need be)
NOTES: Knowing Korrin, language. Also probably references to Qunari culture, especially the saarebas thing.

After that very disturbing conversation with Kas and then passing on the news to Taashath, Korrin wastes no time in seeking Krem out. It might be wiser to wait until she's less agitated before having that conversation, but one thing Korrin's never possessed much of is patience. She's confused and appalled, and needs answers that can only come from her Charger friend.

Whenever and wherever she encounters him, Korrin begins the conversation the same way, heading over with a grim expression and blunt words. "We need to talk." Somewhere else is implied if there's any chance for an audience.

"Sounds familiar." Krem straightened up some, looking up at Korrin and the look on her face as she spoke of her mercenaries.

"One of these days, I think you should meet my men. They're...well. A lot like yours, from the sound of it. They'd be happy to meet someone new, doesn't matter where you came from. If you'd be up for it, anyway."

[gatheringstorm]

Damnit Krem, now you have to make her all nostalgic...though it's certainly a safer mood for her than earlier. She might have to spend the night finally finishing those letters she's started ages ago. At least it's something to focus on other than winding herself

"Of course I'd be up for it. I've been curious about them for a while, you know. I'd love to hear some Charger stories, and share some of my own." And she can contain her issues with Bull, as long as no one pushes that specific subject.

Krem would probably warn them ahead of time not to bring it up. They're good at discretion, and anyone that has his favor, they know it's only appropriate that they have their back too.

At the idea of sharing stories, Krem can't help but chuckle quietly. "There are a lot that we could tell you. Maybe one day we could meet yours and see who kicks more ass. Love to see what Rocky does against a qunari sapper."

[gatheringstorm]

"Oh, Maker." Korrin huffs in amusement, already facepalming. "I can picture it now; the property damage, the lack of anyone being upright afterward, either from qunari liquor dares or said ass-kicking. I'm not sure Skyhold could survive that much mercenary enthusiasm. Just thinking about it is making me want to go to the Commander and preemptively apologize for the upcoming headache."

Krem can't help laughing at the idea of Cullen's face when he looked down on the courtyard and saw a lot of mercenaries playing war games. "So we go find a big, open area in the middle of the Hinterlands. Or maybe Orlais. Stage some fun noisemaking out in the middle of some noble's vacation home property."

[gatheringstorm]

"Ooh, I like that idea. I'll have to mention that in my next letter; maybe they'll be enough to get their asses back down south. Right now I think they're in...Nevarra? Or they were last."

But that might not be true now, since they move around a lot. If not for her more or less stable address in Skyhold, Korrin would have more issues with actually tracking them down.

"I'm sure no matter where your men have found themselves, Lady Nightingale's crows will be able to find them," Krem assures her, reaching up and giving her arm a companionable little squeeze. Even if the matter hadn't been really settled, at least they'd reached a calm point where they could talk as friends again.

[gatheringstorm]

Korrin glances over with a soft smile at that, her temper gone. She'd made her point and she was sticking to it, but that doesn't mean she wants to lose Krem as a friend.

"You're right, of course. And they won't stop sending letters about whatever nonsense they're up to, anyway. Shokrakar mentioned them putting together a 'care package'. That could be...interesting."

[kremdelacreme]

"A care package, huh?" With the way she says that, Krem imagines it could only mean liquor, maybe some food or a joke gift, but mostly liquor. "That'll be interesting when it arrives."
