But I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more!

WHO: Zevran and any on the road!
WHAT: Walking, drinking, dancing, dirty songs and poetry while hiking to Skyhold. Perhaps a stop in a tavern or two along the way.
WHEN: The course of several days on the road.
WHERE: The Road to Skyhold, Skyhold itself
NOTES: Zev is a walking content warning coarse language, innuendo, drinking


Strange how after a solid year of hiking over hill and dale, through Imperial Highways and muddy side tracks he'd sworn to never do so again no matter the company or the cause. And yet here was Zevran yet again on foot (an elf with a horse attracted too much attention in the area) walking the long way to Skyhold with the odd thumb out for any passing caravan- provided they were not bandits. Company he did not mind. Burglary? Less so. From what little he'd heard of the events at Haven and his concern for a country that had been, for all to brief a time, a home of sorts, Zevran made his merry way along the road to this fortress rumored to be the best option for a strategic regroup. Perhaps he would meet someone familiar, perhaps he might offer his services.

The options were many. As were the songs that he would use to amuse himself, strumming a worn, well sanded lute while he walked. Now and then snatches of Antivan would curl through the air, lilting and easy and- to anyone that understood? Absolutely filthy.

"Le mie gambe sono avvolte intorno a voi collo,
Il tuo cazzo nella mia strada, spinte e agitare!
Ero a letto , ma ora sono in questo petto .
Cosa stai mi dà grande piacere!
"

So on and so forth from one tavern to the next on the long trek, if coaxed and if it would see him fed or paid, he would play a few of the softer, more romantic tunes he knew. But for the most part? Smut. Quite a bit of smut. It wasn't as though anyone truly understood him all that often.

His actual arrival was a little less Merry, he had to give one thing to wandering bandits. When they coordinate well enough for a solid ambush and attack en masse? It wasn't the simplest fight to handle alone. Escaping unscathed wasn't entirely possible but he had managed to find a group of either merchants or refugees or a mix of both, he wasn't all that certain, to walk with for the last streatch. One even deigned to allow him to ride the last leg in- provided he rode on the back of the cart and entertained them. As such Zevran's arrival was marked with his voice crackling out past laughter.

"'But yes, she asks, what is the difference?' and I tell her-

'The difference is in where you put the cucumber.'"

"It's like the saying goes, if you can't find a way to profit during war, you're doing something wrong."

At the mention of Hawke, she shrugged.
"No, not since Kirkwall. At least, not directly. But then, we've all got our secrets and agenda, don't we?"

"Or extremely good at finding them. How many people do you suppose would pay through the nose to see those secrets kept quiet?" She grinned.

"If you cry, it had better not be on me. I'll never be able to wash it out. Unless we steal a tub or two. Or start sharing."

Yeah, that face isn't fooling her, Zev. But she laughs it off.

"Do you now? Well, I suppose I can allow it this time. But if you get me all wet, we'll both need a washing."

"Oh, poor sweet thing," she coos and wraps an arm around his head, rather smushing him into said bosom.

"You know, the cold has never agreed with me much either. Fortunately, I've got some good Antivan brandy. What do you say we use it as a warm-up and keep the chill off each other?"

"Flatterer," she laughs. "Not that I've ever minded."

She idly runs fingers through his hair. Elves had pretty hair, too, really. So much fun to play with.

"You're making me want to continue this catching up somewhere more comfortable."

"Then what do you say we go inside? Have you picked out a room yet?" she purrs.

"How very luxurious," she laughs. "Still, we've both stayed in worse places. And fucked in worse still."
