WHO: Kain and OPEN (+ one closed prompt for Inessa)
WHAT: Talking about that Thing that happened... Getting new armor, hauling stuff to a new place, dealing with an annoying parrot, other random stuff for the month.
WHEN: Catch-all throughout the month (Inessa's prompt backdated!)
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: Nah, but will update if something comes up. Prose or brackets fine as always!

1. For Inessa: Awkwardness!

They can't avoid each other forever. Though Kain did a pretty good job of it after they'd returned from the dragon battle. Will she think it some heat of the moment act? Does she understand what it had really meant? He's not so sure he even understands, himself...

Kain has kept himself busy, mostly with training and just avoiding places where Inessa normally goes. He just doesn't know what to do or say, how to proceed from here. Everything will change after what he'd done, won't it? But eventually, inevitably, they cross paths one day in the Gallows, as Kain is hauling some stuff out of the room he'd been assigned... He's also (appropriately enough) wearing his newly redone dragonscale Warden armor.

2. Dragon Armor, Armory

This is the day. Kain is like a child on Wintersend as he gets up and scrambles to get to the armory. He's had his Warden armor redone with dragonscale, taken from the very dragon that the group had slain together. Once there and once he's paid for it and has it in hand, he just spends a long moment looking it over, and stroking the scales on the chest piece admiringly.

"A worthy opponent..."

3. Moving?, Gallows

It looks suspiciously like Kain is leaving, as he's continually hauling boxes and bags full of his stuff out of the Gallows. He's still planning to keep some sort of back-up dwelling space or at least office in town, for whenever that's needed. But he wants to make his new place as comfortable and home-like as possible.

He's hauling along a trunk at the moment. Until he loses his grip... The trunk falls solidly to the ground on its side and the top opens, revealing a diverse collection of dragon-shaped Orlesian masks inside. One falls out, but fortunately it doesn't break.

"I knew I should have gotten that trunk repaired." He grumbles as he picks up the mask to look it over.

4. Chaos in Kirkwall, near the Chantry memorial

A bunch of raised voices catch Kain's attention. He approaches the area cautiously, wondering if he's about to get swept up in a fight. It's... a pretty bad scene, with people shouting and pointing fingers at each other.

"He called me an awful name, he did!" one woman shouts dramatically.

"Well, she blasphemed the name of Andraste!" a man adds.

A woman fires right back at him. "I heard you shouting dreadful things during a service the other day."

It's not his problem, this is an area where uptight religious folk tend to gather anyway. But as the squabble continues, Kain hears a burst of familiar laughter nearby. He glances around, then finally up on a building where none other than Bastard is perched. It all suddenly clicks. Kain sighs heavily, putting a hand to his face. Why did that bird follow him here, again?

5. Wildcard

Kain can often be found training, as always trying to strengthen himself, and trying out his new dragonscale armor. He also frequently takes care of Potato the griffon, making sure to ride her often, usually landing somewhere outside of the city for a break after they've flown a bit. Most anywhere in Kirkwall works for any other random ideas!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, it would have been pretty distracting having Garahel around, for this moment. But Kain can almost imagine the mabari giving his approval... he's never paid it much mind before, but he's always sort of been for them being together, hasn't he?

"I'm sure he will... and he'll be pleased for the both of us, I'm sure." He looks at his things, then toward Inessa and nods. "Some help would be appreciated. I'm almost done, but it'll make the work go faster."
