RP: Sigrun

[dagna_fadewalk]

Inside the mage tower and with the Envy Demon gone, Dagna could finally dedicate herself and her efforts into something else: Getting out of the Fade and (With Inquisitor Lavellan around, activating the Eluvian will be far more simple. Shouldn't be glad about it, but good thing she's here!), if possible, aiding with the Cure (Miss Neria is so, so happy with ser Alistair around - her husband it is, not the king or the ex-Warden - I can't possibly not help her with curing the taint. I know she doesn't think that way, but I owe her.)
(truth to be told, even when the envy demon was lingering in Skyhold she was already thinking and planning how to leave the Fade and how to aid with the Cure.)

A new wave of people had arrived at Skyhold and, more than finding a way out, she was wondering again what was transporting them in the first place. Was it possible that, even after their departure through the Eluvian, more people arrived in that Skyhold? The whole situation was indeed mysterious, but the little Arcanist was determined to, at least, leave hints and clues on how to escape (once it was figured).

She was conducting experiments on her new work table, Jäger sleeping soundly few steps to her side. The Veil Fire granade had been a huge sucess and the more means to fight demons, the merrier.

Dagna smiled and proceeded to the main hall, waiting for Sigrun before making her way downstairs. She was uncertain of what to do next, how to move on past that kiss... Well, was that just a kiss, or the beginning of something else? She did had insisted for her to go to Vigil's Keep so... Maybe something else?

But she had no clue of how relationships worked.

...

Wait, wait a second.
Who said anything about a relationship?

A kiss and kind words meant nothing, right?

Dagna really wished things could be as simple as her formula.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun could practically hear Dagna thinking as they walked. Which, now that Sigrun thought about it, didn't actually seem that unusual. But the uncertain look on Dagna's face gave her pause - usually when the arcanist was overthinking something, she assumed a look of concentration instead.

Sigrun coughed. Or at least...she was pretty sure Dagna did. Not that she'd...made a habit of cataloging Dagna's usual facial expressions. Or anything.

She touched Dagna's arm tentatively. "Copper for your thoughts?"

[dagna_fadewalk]

Dagna nearly jumped out of her skin at Sigrun's touch, uncertain of how much time she got lost on her thoughts. She shrugged.

"Can't let you pay that much for my current thoughts, it wouldn't be fair." she chuckled looking away "I was just... thinking..." she swallowed hard, not sure if she should go on.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun squinted. "I'm pretty sure I could afford at least a copper," she said with a laugh.

She shrugged. "Not that you have to tell me. If you don't want to. I don't mind."

[dagna_fadewalk]

"No, this particular thought, well..." she sighed "I mean, I was just overthinking something meant to be simple. Sometimes I can't just think in a simple way about something. And this... well... it's so new I don't know exactly where I'm standing."

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun was fairly sure she knew what Dagna was talking about, or the gist of it anyways, but she didn't just want to assume. She chewed on her bottom lip and offered,

"Can I, er, help...with that?"

[dagna_fadewalk]

"Ah... well... I told you, didn't I? First kiss, first time freaking out about what to do next."

She tried to sound casual, but her red ears and face totally gave her up.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun considered this until she was distracted by admiring the pretty blush on Dagna's cheeks.

"Um." She shook her head slightly to clear it. "I'm hardly an expert here, myself. I don't...really have a plan? Aside from getting you to smile more. And maybe holding your hand? If you want. Um."

She blushed too. "Sorry, that probably didn't help, like, at all."

[dagna_fadewalk]

Dagna was quiet for a few seconds before she bursted into laugher. Indeed, she was overthinking, since Sigrun was just lost as her. She reached for her hand, smiling.

"Holding hands sounds nice. And smiling more too. Good plan."

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun giggled, linking their fingers together gratefully.

"See, it doesn't have to be so hard," she said, swinging their joined hand slightly.

[dagna_fadewalk]

"Thank the Ancestors." she sighed, relieved, before going back to the original plan of finding something to eat.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun let herself be tugged along by the hand, grinning widely.

[dagna_fadewalk]

Dagna smiled, shoulders more relaxed now.

She only left the grip on Sigrun's hand when they reached the hall where the food was, looking for something to eat; not that the options where more than bread, cheese and a few fruits.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

Sigrun moved to pull some stoneware plates from a cupboard when Dagna let go of her hand, and brought them over to the table where they'd piled all the remaining food they had in the mage tower. Her arm brushed Dagna's as she joined her, and then she held out a plate.

"Well, you got loads of choices," she said with a quiet laugh, wrinkling her nose up at what was left.

[dagna_fadewalk]

Dagna giggled, taking the plate.

"On the bright side, Jager doesn't seem to have tried to climb over the table to eat our food. There is victory in it."

She took a piece of bread and other of cheese, pouring sweet wine for her and Sigrun. She raised her head to smiled and, in the moment next, she wasn't there anymore, the bottle of wine shattering on the floor.

[sigrun_fadewalk]

"Oh, he's usually pretty good about that staying out of the people food, it's just bringing us dead things or pulling our dirty socks out of packs that he has a penchant for," Sigrun giggled. "Though I guess that was worse during the Blight, when he was young-"

She broke off when Dagna disappeared, her hand flying to her mouth, the plate still in her hand dropping and cracking against the stone floor just a beat after the bottle of wine did.

She stared, wide-eyed, at the spot where Dagna had just been standing.

"Dagna?" she whispered, too shocked to do much else right away.

(OOC: End this thread here? I'm not sure what your plans for Dagna's disappearance are, but I'll just have Sig go around panicking in the meantime, mmkay? ;))

[dagna_fadewalk]

((ooc: now I must place the warn that Dagna is missing and you're free to freak out, yeeey! xD))
