Sihtric Kjartansson | Arnas Fedaravicius Seven Kings Must Die

[quiprava]

Soren supposed he couldn't blame Cullen for his discomfort. He was no more comfortable, himself. Worse, to be honest. This whole affair was running Soren's nerves raw. He had little patience with others on the best of days. But here it was... so much worse. This grand display of opulence was so far past vulgarity, it was well in the realm of obscenity. He found it and the masked revelers that surrounded them utterly disgusting.

The only small light to be found was here, in this little nook against the wall, where Cullen stood, laced tightly into his finery. The only place that Soren felt like he could fill his lungs with air fully, and properly breathe. And he had no intention of letting any of these Orlesians interrupt this little refuge.

"No," Soren's low voice was only just above a whisper, ensuring that only Cullen's ears could hear him, "This is." He wasted no time, one gloved hand reaching to cup the Commander's defined jaw, and guide it so that he could press a firm kiss directly on Cullen's lips. They would talk, of course they would.. but they wouldn't dare interrupt him now. Not even Leliana. Not if they knew what was good for them.

His kiss was warm and firm, his hand at the small of Cullen's back tightening, curling his fingers and twisting in the back of that fine wool coat to pull him ever closer. It couldn't last forever, but Soren could certainly try.

@quiprava asked | [ TUG ]:  the sender tugs the receiver close against them by resting a hand against the small of their back, pulling them flush against their body.

They had been standing in some proximity or another during the events of the Winter Palace. Cullen had been asked plenty of times to dance and had politely turned down ever single advance as they arrived. The Commander was obviously growing tired of it, and it was beginning to show in how exhausted he was becoming. His shoulders began to slump forwards, his normally upturned features slowly began to droop.

"If you've come to ask for a dance, I am not p-" His decline began as Soren approached, having done it on instinct, really, but as the hand found the small of his back, there is a bright blush that instantly heats up his face, and a sound of confusion and being caught off guard leaves the man's lips as he's pulled closer to that of the warden, his Inquisitor.

If his face could break out into anymore of a dark blush, it would have. He was unsure of what to do with his hands in that moment, so he just placed his hand in the mirroring spot upon Soren's back while the other rested upon the pommel of his decorative sword. Clearing his throat nervously, Cullen looked over to Soren with a bit of a incredulous look.

"I-Is this...uh...meant to scare off the rabble?" He chuckled a bit, licking his lips as he looked around to the rest of the party. Hopefully this would not get them in trouble with Leliana...

[quiprava]

"I'm not worried, I'm angry!" Soren's growl was insistent, perhaps more for his own sake than for hers. Gods forbid the man admit to actually caring. His worry and anger were looking awfully similar, at this particular moment.

"I cannot heal you," His low voice finally seemed to be calming, slowly. Angry still, to be sure, he was always angry it seemed, but steadier, at least. "If a battle goes ill, and something happens to you, I can't heal you. I haven't been able to heal a wound in years."

Sorcerers, wizards, and clerics, Soren had explained before, were one and the same in the world he came from. 'Mages', they were called, and it was something one was born with, or not, and all had the potential to cast any type of magic, if they had the right aptitude and training. With Soren's lack of ability to heal then... perhaps it was no wonder he worried.

"Stay behind me, in battle. You can heal me with far greater success than the other way 'round. There's little in this Faerun that I have found to trust. Let me trust that you'll survive."

Marcella did not answer, thinking the response rather obvious that it need not be said. Of course she did not have a death wish. It was just... her concerns were always those around her before herself, often to her own detriment. That was perhaps the curse of a healer.

With his footsteps coming to a halt and her wound sealed, Marcella lifted her gaze to him and offered a reassuring smile, or what she hoped was one.

"Look, I'm sorry. I don't mean to worry you."

[quiprava]

Soren @ Cullen @notyetfixed:

[quiprava]

"Do you have a death wish, or something?" Soren scowled, complained, huffed and puffed, pacing in agitation back and forth in front of her, but it could be noted that he didn't stray far, and his intense gaze kept coming back to her. Not dissimilar to a guard dog, perhaps. He was ensuring nothing else was going to be able to get close to Marcella.

"Healers are the same in every world, it seems," He finally ceased his stomping, standing in front of the cleric, his arms crossed over his chest. "The power of life in your hands without the good sense to preserve your own." He might as well just start calling her Anders, and get it over with. "I stand in front of you for a reason, you know this, right? You could have died! You could have--" Soren cut off, scowling harder, though it seemed this time at himself.

"Just... stay behind me."

@quiprava asked: ❛  why didn't you say anything earlier? we could've avoided this whole mess.  ❜

Marcella's head remained bowed, her focus primarily upon her clerical magic as she used it to heal the wound she had sustained in the last fight. She had thought it under control until now, until they had to stop for her to tend to it, with her no longer being able to conceal it. Having Soren scold her, standing before her seated form, hardly helped matters.

"I know." Marcella mumbled, wincing as flesh stitched itself closed. It was rare for her to endure the feeling of being magically healed, after all. "It's fine. Alright? It's nearly sorted. Just a few minutes more. I don't need you standing over me."

sihtric / the last kingdom 5x10

[quiprava]

Soren didn't look impressed by Jackson's quips - but then, he so rarely looked impressed with anything. The man's face seemed to hold a perpetual scowl, forever annoyed at the world. At least he didn't push past Jackson, though. There were some manners in there, somewhere.

"Hrm." The Inquisitor grunted as he went into the room, almost stopping short, but then stepping to the side, so that Jackson could follow. "So much for 'destroyed'." Mayor Dedrick's song and dance back in Crestwood had rung a little hollow, he'd clearly been lying about something. This hadn't been what Soren had anticipated it to be, however. The controls looked to be in full working order, if a little mildewy in places where some damp had soaked through.

"Help me with the gear. I want to see what that jackass is hiding beneath this damn lake." And take care of the rift too, he supposed.

Jackson clicked his tongue at the other's declaration, a slight shake of his head in disapproval. "I see that the years haven't worn down your bull-headedness." He gave the door another once over before quickly identifying the issue at hand, followed with a sigh indicating that the rogue himself might consider taking up Soren on that blast. "Not that there's anythin' wrong with that— It's almost impressive, really."

Pulling out a couple tools he'd pocketed for such an occasion, he got to work to unlocking the door. "Dunno if a blast'll manage through how wet the place seems..." Leaned in to hear the clicks of the lock, he raised a brow once he heard the final clack! unlatched the door. "Hope you've got enough huffin' and puffin' ta put into that release valve. My arms weren't made for such things." A jest, of course, given the strength of it took to draw his bow.

Kicking the door wide open, Jackson gestured for Soren to enter first. "— After ya."

Bjorn, mabari and Grey Warden

Bjorn is a large male mabari, with a deep black coat, and a small thatch of white on his chest. Though Bjorn is easily as big as a large man (topping 200lbs), he isn't clumsy or oafish, and tends to walk with a smooth, almost cat-like gait. He is a calm and steady personality, rarely making much noise or jumping about.

Soren acquired Bjorn the same way most Heroes of Ferelden do, meeting him on the road to Lothering, after the Battle of Ostagar.

Bjorn is, naturally, the most loyal friend that Soren has ever had, standing by him and supporting him through even the darkest pits that Soren has found his mind in over the course of the years. From his weakest moments using blood magic, to the euphoria of killing the Archdemon, and all that came after, Bjorn has been there.

They are so close, in fact, that the Conclave is the first time in nearly a decade that man and dog have been more than a few meters from one another. Despite the deep anxiety this gives Soren, being away from his most steadfast companion, it does turn out for the best, of course, as being left behind with Leliana in Haven keeps him far from the explosion that happened at the temple, and saves the mabari's life.

Bjorn, from their first days together as Wardens (the dog has ingested darkspawn blood in battle, thus has Joined), through Inquisition acts not just as Soren's protector and friend, but acts as a service dog as well. He soothes some of Soren's constant anxiety, provides comfort, gives a physical support for Soren to lean upon, closes windows and doors, brings food and water, acts as pillow and heater, and much more.

In short: Bjorn is a good boy.

@altrxisme sent: “No, that's not moving. There must be a way to open it somewhere.” from Jackson ^^

"Figure it out then, quickly, or I'm just going to blast the damn wall down." The release valve for the Crestwood Dam wasn't going to turn itself, and this strange, locked door was an obstacle Soren was no longer willing to tolerate. The Inquisitor turned away, setting back to his impatient pacing, giving Jackson another few moments. Not a man used to waiting, it seemed.

Perhaps he couldn't be blamed entirely for that - he was Inquisitor now, but he was also a Grey Warden, the Grey Warden, the Warden-Commander of Ferelden. From all the rumors about what Wardens had to face... waiting around wasn't exactly something they could afford to do regularly. They had to act, decisively and often immediately.

Or he was just an ornery curmudgeon. There was that.

[quiprava]

I even tried from a fresh post, and still no. I don't know wth is going on, or why it just hates this post in particular.

eta again: And now it's showing up. I guess they get a new hamster on the wheel that powers tumblr's servers.

So yay, it appears my post isn't showing up on the dash. Fun. Thanks Tumblr.

eta : but THIS is. WTH.

[quiprava]

@volchtsa sent: “No rest, be you wicked or wise.” from beatrize!

Soren frowned at the other Warden, but put his knife away, turning his eyes to the makeshift spear he'd fashioned. It wasn't perfect, he had no iron head for it, but it would do, for now. He wasn't going to be throwing it, after all. It was mostly for sparring anyway.

"No rest for anyone," he finally agreed, gruff voice pitched lowly, so as to not wake up the others. "You should try though. Your watch doesn't start for more than an hour, and I doubt you'll get sleep once Alistair starts his." Alistair was a kind soul, and the lad really did try, but he had a difficult time being quiet. He didn't always realize the way sound carried, and he certainly wasn't the most graceful among them.

"Get some sleep. I won't forget to wake you."

Soren and Family

Soren is 'canon divergent' in several ways, but one of the key ways is in his family.

Unlike 'canon' Amell, Soren is not one of Revka Amell's children. He is instead the bastard child of Revka's husband, Byron, and one of their maids, an elf named Lila Calone. After his mother became pregnant, the Amells gave her some coin and sent her away, to avoid scandal. She went to Denerim, where she still had some family, and it was there that Soren was born, and spent the first several years of his life until his magic was discovered.

While 'canon' Amells are second cousins to the Hawkes (Hawke/Bethany/Carver), as Revka and Leandra were first cousins, Soren has no relation to the Hawkes/Leandra at all, and is only a half-sibling to other Amell children.

“Battle favours the fearless.”

“Sleep with one eye open, evil. Maybe both.”

“Gotta be something around here to unlock this thing.”

“Why do beautiful people taste better?. It hardly seems fair on the ugly - they have such wonderful personalities.”

“Just go for the Magic Missile and fire away. Never fails.”

“Still standing, no matter what you heard.”

“Enough waiting. I crave blood.”

“Hang on - I won't allow this. You aren't dead, go it?”

“GODS, it's HOT in here!”

“No rest for the wicked, I see.”

“Better to hide than fight, sometimes.”

“Would that I could hide from you, too.”

“Are you feeling lonely, perhaps?”

“There is no right or wrong, only truth.”

“Battle is afoot - you can poke me once we are safe.”

“What good all this ethereal eladrin blood if I can still get pimples?”

“I should've been a drow. They have such stylish armour.”

“I am armed! Armoured! And entirely sick of your foolishness.”

“Let's have some fun.”

“War is an old woman's game.”

“No rest, be you wicked or wise.”

“I'm getting too old for this nonsense.”

“Stop, or die.”

“Wear your scars proudly.”
