Moving Day

WHO: All the Wardens and whatever onlookers/helpers they may find.
WHAT: Moving Day
WHEN: Current-ish
WHERE: Skyhold and just outside Skyhold
NOTES: The Wardens are grounded. They have been told to camp outside Skyhold. So it's moving day.




It is a relatively flat and pretty utterly frozen piece of land outside Skyhold that the Wardens have found. Since there are only a couple dozen of them, they don't need a large space, at least. There's going to be a premium on slightly more elevated spots, so it's first come first serve. Some Wardens arrive with the sun and lay claim with canvas, stakes, ropes, and poles stacked up while they go back for heavier things. Digging into the frozen ground with the stakes is rough, especially for those who brought wooden stakes instead of iron. Some will be forced to wait until the sun softens things a bit. Some are chasing away the feeling of eviction by making themselves at home, starting fires in pits, or making light of their work through periodic bouts of horseplay. For example, one large longbowman with a wounded right arm, fed up with teasing for his inability to do heavy lifting, carries with his left arm a blond mage who hits him repeatedly with a pillow. Unperturbed, he continues on.

But when the tents are pitched and the sun is down, the cozy camp is a little less strange. People will gather around fires for warmth and companionship, knowing that after one sleep, this will start to feel like home.

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeess?" Drawn out and faintly wry in much the same way Alistair speaks it. "That is how we met."

Teren is immediately driven to roll her eyes. "I see you've spent a lot of time together," she drily remarks. "Well met, then." If she does indeed know him from somewhere, she's not showing it at all. "Teren von Skraedder, Senior Warden."

"Zevran Arainai, Ombra Nera." Black Shadow to the Crows. "I swear I have seen you somewhere before- perhaps you have had some business in Antiva?"

Teren looks at him, her expression opaque. "Not I," she says, "I've barely left Orlais since I was a girl." Maybe she just has one of those faces.

"I must be mistaken." It will click, later. Much later when he is not quite so busy focusing on not being upset about this mess.
