How is it that the dust storm cleared so quickly? I've never seen anything like it.

[Pause. Oh dear.]

Unless...

[Cue realization that the few hours in the tunnels was actually much longer than that.]

..Just how long were we gone?

[Hell with this, she's off to get herself a drink. Vie can be found in the Stable Tower bar area, sitting on the counter with

Comments

[iwannabeadragon]

Longer than I thought. Must have lost track of time with all the fun we were having down there.

[gotyourwallet]

Even so. From my experience with those kinds of storms, they last longer than a few hours.

[The cogs in her brain are already ticking over.]

[iwannabeadragon]

...Just how much of that gas did we breathe in?

[gotyourwallet]

What, you don't suppose we all passed out for a week without realizing.

[In this place, it wouldn't really surprise her.]

[iwannabeadragon]

Maybe more than that.

[Anders just got done telling him they were gone for almost a month.]

Next time we go crawling through some dark holes let's not start breathing in strange things.

[gotyourwallet]

I'll be sure to only stab what's attacking us instead of our surroundings.

[Once the high wore off, the headache had been horrible. Vie doesn't really want to go through that again.]

We're lucky the creatures that chased us didn't return while we were, for want of a better word, stoned.

[iwannabeadragon]

There's a plan I can get behind.

That must be your doing. With my luck we would have run into the gas, more crocodiles, and a dragon.

[gotyourwallet]

Hawke, the longer that you hang around me, the more you will find that I've a knack for getting myself in more trouble than it's worth.

[Vie laughs.]

I imagine a dragon is something bad. We've not got them in my home-world. At least not by that name, anyway.

[iwannabeadragon]

What do you know, another thing we have common. I'm amazed things just don't start falling apart around us.

[He smirks.]

Bad is a good word to describe an angry fire breathing lizard with wings.

[gotyourwallet]

It's only a matter of time before the Keep crumbles around us because one or the other sneezed.

[Vie makes a thoughtful sound.]

I can think of a few things that fit the description. None of which I should like to encounter.

[The last run-in had been a close one.]

[iwannabeadragon]

May the Maker help them if one of us gets the sniffles.

[Well Hawke's interested now.]

You'll have to tell me about it sometime.

[gotyourwallet]

Hm, I'm not sure how you would react to my past.

[And her future, but she's not quite up to that part yet.]

Chances are I'll tell you anyway. Though, right now I'm making fast friends with a bottle of liquor.

[Also trying and failing to draw a crocodile.]

[iwannabeadragon]

Only one way to find out.

[Whatever it is he thinks he can handle it. One of his friends just started a war after all.]

Without me? Trying to make me jealous?

[gotyourwallet]

[Just a life of theft and quite a few assassinations. Nothing major. Really.]

Stable Tower bar area. There might be some left if you hurry.

[iwannabeadragon]

[Oh is that all? That's just a day in the life for Hawke and his misfits.]

Always the generous one Vie.

[Sure enough Hawke arrives fairly quickly, grinning once he spots here.]

So is there anything left for me or am I going to have to carry you back?

[gotyourwallet]

Oh come now, I saved you some.

[She grins and offers the half consumed bottle.]

However I might take you up on that carrying later in the night. I've no plans on stopping just yet.
