WHO: Alistair, Elissa, & Morrigan (followed by Bastien & Kieran)
WHERE: Acorn Plains Way
WHEN: Right now
WHAT: Arriving in the Console and thinking it's a practical joke
WARNINGS: None
STATUS: Complete

He doses off, gets a legitimate doze, and wakes up in what he can only guess may be a practical joke. Not everyone thought of the Wardens as people but especially in quiet times or that of extreme hardship--they were just as hardy and close of a family as one could get. And just the likes that would put Alistair in the middle of the Forrest while he was sleeping.

"Oh, guys, c'mon. I know I said we'd have to start rebuilding the fort and not just with haystacks but.." He muttered as he got to his feet. But wait. They had the sense to put him in his armor and--who dressed him? That was. A complete violation of personal privacy.

At least they had the good sense to leave him armed. With a small box of? What was it? "Maker's breath, where am I?" A slight rustle from a nearby bush and the longsword at his side was unshiethed, aimed pointedly at a walking....turtle. "Oh. Sorry." He'd never seen one of those before....

Yes,many tales to share. And at least they could do so in comfort. And some dealing with this odd convergence of different realms, if possible. Someone somewhere knew at least a little bit of what was going on, and Elissa wanted to know as much about the situation as possible.

Which necessitated the tossing around of titles. This was not a situation for subtlety.

"I'd rather not have rats in the larder," she said. "Last time that happened things didn't turn out too well." Though she did agree about it being a camp, at least temporarily, while the figured things out. "I don't know about anyone else, but I rather look forward to an actual bed and bath."

"Bed and bath? How luxurious," Morrigan smirked, though she supposed that sounded nice as well. "Very well, then. Camp it is. I, personally, would not mind the snakes." But she adored all creatures of the animal kingdom - animals and plants, this witch held an affinity for both. Humans were rubbish, essentially.

Though she quite enjoyed Alistair's pessimism. It warmed the cockles of her ice cave of a heart.

Kieran had taken the funny device with buttons from Morrigan, and was studying the contraption, since she obviously hadn't a clue what it was. But she just let him, since it wasn't like she was planning to figure it out anytime soon. "Be good, mutt," she spoke to the Mabari - who was far too drooly for her liking. Alas. It too was a lifelong companion and friend, much like these humans she'd gotten stuck with.

“A bath? What’s that..” He knew he was the only one who’d find that little bit funny but he didn’t care. He’d gotten too used to being with the other Wardens who knew all too well that “bed” and “bath” for weeks on end meant the ground, a lake, or the rain. Skyhold was probably the last luxury he’d seen in some while.

But a real bed? That was about as rare as a bath. Maybe there would even be soap.

Now that they weren’t out in the open and Alistair didn’t have to look out for walking turtles or mushrooms who might come for his curious little son. He felt the slightest less tense. Slightest. He bent over to pet the Mabari, who was still ever bit all he’d remembered. Sometimes he was envious of the constant, unconditional companionship. “He’s a good boy, he’ll make sure there’s nothing in the larder, won’t you boy?” Seeing Kieran mess with the odd device Alistair stood to pull his from his back where his shield rested. Along with the odd coins they’d been given. “What do you suppose these are? I wonder what’s inside.”

Bastien gave an exciting bark, Morrigan was giving him attention. The slight tilt of his head indicating he always behaved. "Something better than an old bedroll and a cold river," Elissa replied. "And something I haven't had the luxury of for far too long." As Warden Commander she was used to making do, but it was nice to have comforts on occasion.

Given the others had their odd device, she pulled hers out as well. "I'd venture a guess that it's something important, given that we all have one. Perhaps we'll learn more about them, assuming that anyone can answer questions here."

It was a better chance than trying to figure them out on their own, especially if Alistair decided to try to take it apart. She remembered well his fondness for playing with dolls. Or... figures, whatever he called them. She watched as Bastien lavished in the attention that Alistair was giving him. Spoiled thing. Especially since he had been her only companion the past months. She'd forgotten that he was a trained warhound, and at the moment, it seemed he had as well.
