WHO: Cyril & Merrick + OPEN (Starters so far for Taas and Sam. If you want one let me know!)
WHAT: Cyril and Merrick have been searching for Metaari. After finding his bow with bandits, Cyril is finally able to convince Merrick to return. They arrive at Kirkwall fifteen minutes late with Starbucks. (not really, they just have one extra giant ass bow and crushed hopes)
WHEN: Shortly after everyone else arrived at Kirkwall
WHERE: You know, around.
NOTES: So "I'll just go on hiatus for a couple weeks to play Andromeda," I said. "I'm sure after I beat it once I'll be able to return to RP." Hahaha. Then I looked around and four weeks had passed and I hadn't done a single thing in RP, or cleaned my house, or gone to the store for food... ANYWAY so here's my return and I have a good excuse because Cyril would try help his brother find his missing lover. You can thread with either Merrick or Cyril here. Just tell us in your subject line who you are talking to.

Cyril had been keeping in touch with others in the Inquisition over the sending crystals, which turned out to be lucky because it meant that when they finally could return they didn't accidentally trek all the way back to Skyhold only to have to turn around and head north again.

They hadn't found any sign of Metaari, except for the bow that was unmistakable. That, they had recovered from bandits - bandits who claimed to have just "come across" it and who were all very, very dead now.

Cyril feels exhausted and thread bare from worry. Merrick isn't going to be okay with the fact that they still don't know for sure what happened and the giant bow Merrick's carrying around feels much more like a way to pry at the wound rather than closure.

Cyril + Merrick

[samahl]

They have to figure out how to orient themselves in the city now. It's very different than the castle had been. First things, is finding a place they'll be able to sleep until they find something that works for the two of them.

When they first arrive, Cyril stays near Merrick. He's expecting Merrick to either go very, very cold or very, very angry. Either wouldn't be a good sign.

"Think they have any decent food here?"

Cyril + Sam

[samahl]

It's after he and Merrick have settled down that Cyril goes to find Sam. He's eager to see Taas too, of course, but Sam had told him a lot about what had happened while he was gone over the sending crystals and now he is finally back and can be a physical presence of reassurance.

He touches base with Sam over the crystals first to find out where he is. Then, when he finds him, he smirks a bit at the sight of him. "Oh, I hadn't realized how much I missed looking at you."

Cyril + Taas

[samahl]

When Cyril finally does find Taas he comes up to him and waves his hand within Taas's line of sight to announce that he's there. He can't contact Taas over the sending crystal, so it had taken asking around to hunt down Taas. That and just looking around, after all Taas was hard to miss.

merrick (with cyril is cool too!)

As days turned to weeks, and those weeks dragged on and on, Beleth grew more and more worried. Cyril's updates let her know that the two of them were still alive and more or less in good health, but that's not what she's worried about. Not that she wants either of them to be hurt, but she knows their capabilities, and that either of them apart would be able to take care of themselves--with the two of them? Little reason to worry on that front.

No, what haunted Beleth was the idea that they...simply wouldn't return. Don't make it all you do, she had plead to Merrick, before he had left. Time stretched on, life continued, and even as Beleth carried forward with it all, she began to worry that she had been right. When she finally heard the news, the worry is lifted from her shoulders--only to be replaced by a new worry. Nobody had mentioned a qunari with them. Which bode poorly for Merrick's state of mind.

So, she went about searching for Merrick. And the first thing she'll do, upon spotting him, is running up to him and wrapping her arms around him tightly. She doesn't say anything, not yet. She doubts anything she has to say will be helpful.
