Clan Ashara currently resides in a small valley nestled into the mountains, that seems idyllic for a Dalish clan. A stream runs through the valley, descending into a waterfall with the steep cliffs on one side, and sheer mountain walls going straight up on two other sides. The only way in and out is through a gap big enough to lead several aravels through. It's a defensible position, safe from any threats. Except the fade rift that has opened up just a little ways from the gap. The hunters can handle the demons spewing from it well enough, and there are always a couple stationed there to pick off whatever appears. But it's too dangerous to lead the aravels and noncombatants through, and thus, they are forced to wait. To compound the issue, there's a village close to where they're currently staying, and while both sides have kept to themselves, neither are pleased with the current situation. They've helped get a message to the Inquisition in hopes that someone will come take care of the problem, and now both are tensely waiting for something to happen to change the situation, for better or worse. And so the members of Clan Ashara, with their friends in tow, return back to their clan.

"Oh? How do you get anything done then?" Once Cyril has settled against him, Sam stretches out his legs as he wraps an arm around Cyril's shoulders. "I was coming along to see your clan and offer support, but it sounds like I'm being a distraction instead."

[samahl]

"A good kind of distraction though, my favorite kind," he teases a bit. Honestly, he wouldn't be as nervous if Sam was with him all of the time.

[el_tybs]

"Ah, so am I doing a good job then?" Well he could certainly try to be around as much as he could, but he isn't sure how things will be once they get to the clan. There was a lot of people he was sure Cyril wanted to catch up with. "Who were we talking about that I should meet if I ever visited the clan?"

[samahl]

"You always do," Cyril reassures. His opinion of Sam is pretty biased. Then, after a moment, "The Crafter always liked me. She can seem a little hard though so don't expect warmth. She lost her daughter in the plague that killed my mother..." He pauses for a moment, frowning a bit in thought. "We'll all be greeted by the Keeper and the First. The First is Beleth's twin brother, Sorrel. He's..." There's a pause, as he considers how to word things. "He's lovely. He has these eyes that you could get lost in and his own unique sense of humor. If he hadn't have been the Keeper's son, I probably would have tried to lose my virginity to him..." As always, Cyril is almost too open when it comes to sex.

"Then there's Kali. She lost both of her parents in the plague when she was but an infant. She grew up with me and Merrick. If she hadn't stayed behind, Merrick probably would have. She's one of the only people he trusts with the safety of the Clan. She fights almost the exact same way that he does because he taught her."

[el_tybs]

Sam frowns lightly when he hears about the plague, more so about Cyril's mother. Even though they talked that hadn't been a subject they really touched upon. Still not talking about considering how Cyril completely turned the conversation on its head - some times Sam just couldn't keep up.

Letting out a long sigh and running a hand through his hair before resting his head in his palm, the mage raises a brow. He mentioned a lot of people, but now he's stuck on this twin. "Is this you saying you're going to be spending the time at the clan ogling him, or that I should try getting charmed by this Sorrel?"

[samahl]

Cyril chuckles a bit. "I might ogle a little, but he's basically untouchable." He glances towards the direction he knows Beleth is, somewhere else in this came. "Have you seen his sister work with weapons? I don't want to be on the wrong side of that."

[el_tybs]

"A little bit." Back during the Fallow Mire, but he hasn't seen Beleth's work since then much. "Well you know if anyone comes after you I will have to step in. Just saying. I would appreciate that you don't get on Beleth's bad side since I don't want to see her weapons first hand."

[samahl]

"No way I would want to do that just for my own sanity, let alone your safety." He chuckles a bit. "Plus Merrick would be really irritated. Not that he isn't all the time already."

[el_tybs]

"Yeaaaah... I would appreciate not having Merrick coming after me either. I can only handle so many elves." Honestly he's not sure where he stands with Merrick at the moment. "Well Sorrel sounds the most interesting to talk to - such a high recommendation."

[samahl]

Cyril grins a bit. "Yeah. I think him and Kali, though knowing her, she'll be busy helping to fight demons." Then, after a moment, "Just... be careful with the Keeper, all right? She can be a little intense."

[el_tybs]

Sam raises a brow at the warning. "Intense? How?" Was she the reason Cyril was so nervous about going back?

[samahl]

"She... She is just tough. That's all. You have to be in her position. She's not evil or anything, so don't worry about that. She just expects her people to be the best."

[el_tybs]

"I don't think they'd let a human be in that position." Kidding, he's kidding. "Well I've lived in the Circle for a good while. I think I can handle this kind of intense."

[samahl]

He nods at that. "Are there many Circle mages like that? I only really know you and Anders. You're so sweet and Anders is... Well, Anders." And therefore complicated.

[el_tybs]

"You haven't met Madame de Fer? And I wouldn't call her intense, but I wouldn't get on Adelaide's bad side." There are plenty of other Circle mages, but some he doesn't know, or just wouldn't consider 'intense'.

[samahl]

"I've seen Madame de Fer around and heard of her, of course, but I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her. Pel told me about the time she pampered the mage council. Almost makes me want to get on her good side." He thinks about this for a moment. "She's beautiful. Adelaide is as well, but again I know her by reputation."

[el_tybs]

"I've met her once - that was very intense. She's very polite, but she has this air about her... she's very pro Circle, which is what makes her intense for me. And I did hear about the spa day." He's a little jealous, but no reason for him to go onto the council - course he suspects there was some ulterior motive.

"Really, you haven't met Adelaide? Well glad to hear you haven't needed to see her for any healing."

[samahl]

"To be fair, I do have you and Anders for healing if I do mind myself needing it."

[el_tybs]

"I suppose we do have you covered in that sense." There's a pause as Sam is thoughtful for a moment. "Should we do that? I mean, us going to a spa sometime?"

[samahl]

"You and me?" Cyril asks. He grins at the idea. "Oh, I'd love that."

[el_tybs]

Sam grins as well as how Cyril seems to brighten up with that idea. "Yes, you and me." Unless they both wanted to bring someone along. "I guess that's something we can plan after this trip." Something to look forward to.

[samahl]

Cyril nods. "How are we going to get the coin for that?" he asks, thinking over the possibilities.

[el_tybs]

"Hm. Good question. I do have some money saved up... I suppose it would depend on where we go spa? Perhaps we could try using 'we're part of the Inquisition' to get a discount." Humming in thought for a moment he gives a shrug. "Could always see if there is anyone at Skyhold that can do something like a spa."

[samahl]

"That might be fun. A spa at Skyhold..." He seems to consider that for a moment, wondering what it would take to set something like that up.

[el_tybs]

"Maybe we could set something up by the hot spring?" Wall off a section for a time perhaps? Honestly Sam isn't quite sure since he hasn't done a spa thing himself yet, but it certainly seemed like something Cyril might enjoy. That and it appeared to be distracting him from whatever was making him nervous.
