(If you find this creepy Morrigan , let me know so I can edit it!) "I keep my promises Sine." Willis winked. "Especially for pretty girls like you." Willis did wonder about Sine's friend. Did she betray Sine? When she said it was nice to have a friend there was sadness in her voice. Willis felt tempted to ask Sine, but determined that she needed to gain her trust first. He was on his way though. After about an hour of walking, Willis and Sine approached Bregan's house. It was a medium sized house that with a terrible looking fence it the pickets were the shape of Bregan's head. The garden looked clean but there were two small statues of Bregan shirtless with his "rock hard abs" each looking at each other from both sides. Willis shook his head in embarrassment Bregan always had a high opinion of himself and he let others know whether they want to hear it or not. Willis reached the door, before he knocked he talked to Sine: "Listen Sine." Willis said. "Before we enter, I just want to tell you is to be prepared to endure torrent of narcissism and testosterone poisoning all stemmed from his overcompensation of being very small. Resist any temptation to punch him the face okay? Because believe me, you would want to do it. I know I have." Willis then knocked on the door. A faint voice cried "It's open!" And Willis entered. The house was eccentric to say the least, It had axes on the walls and pictures of musclebound warriors all painted with Bregan's on them. As he walked to the living room Willis heard grunts. There he saw Bregan doing push ups. "COME ON BABY 210!" Bregan cried. Bregan is actually a "half-breed" Dwarven on his fathers side and Human on his mother. Unfortunately he inherited the short Dwarven from his father and is small reaching Sine's height. As a result of his insecurity (though he tries to deny it.) Bregan worked out religiously reaching a body that knights can dream of. He also fought in the Fifth Blight when he joined the Ferelden Army, bragging about how many Darkspawn he killed. Willis remembered him claiming that he was so "awesome." that Darkspawn bowed before him during the Blight. After the Blight, Bregan started a smuggling rig, though he covered it by creating winery and a training regiment in which he charges outrageous Sovereigns. Nevertheless Bregan was wildly successful, earning him respect (mostly) Willis would've found that amazing and inspiring. But he came across as a self centered jackass. "Heeeey Willie!" Bregan yelled. He was clean shaven with black straight and blue eyes. He was enormous though with pecs so large that it'll probably fit Sine's head with enough room for another. He was half-naked as usual as he loved show off his body. "It's Willis." Willis said in an irratated tone. "Yeah whatever!" Bregan laughed then noticed Sine "Who's the girl?!" Bregan said seductively as he came closer to Sine. "Hey Elven baby." Bregan said "How about you me go upstairs and I'll show you my..... palace of wisdom." Bregan rubbed his crouch. "Fucking hell Bregan!" Willis yelled, he forgot how much he loved to show off his "prized possession." "Can't help it Willie!" Bregan said dancing around Sine. "Women are attracted to me, I mean why else would this lady come here to my home all alone." "Maybe because she's not alone you delusional short bastard. She's with me!" Willis growled. "Now Martin said you wanted a favor." "Well indeed I fucking do!" Bregan said leaving Sine alone and approaching Willis. The half-dwarf sized Willis up and down. "Damn Willie, you gained a little weight there buddy!" "I can't help it I'm living the good life." Willis said sarcastically. Bregan also took a look at Willis' crotch much to his utter annoyance. "Just by looking at you my brother, you aint packing much of a sausage. Now my sausage! I can lay that shit down on the table! And I make girls scream! Hey Elven lady!" Bregan screamed to Sine "You gotta try me out sometime!" "Listen Bregan!" Willis said his voice on verge of eruption. "We're here to do a job because Martin owes you money and we're willing to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible. But if you talk about my "sausage" one more time, I'm going to fucking decapitate you!" Bregan appeared flabbergasted at first then laughed. "Oh! Man! We've got badass here! Give it to me brother!" He raised his hand to high-five Willis but Willis ignored it. Bregan chuckled and went on floor to do some quick push ups. "Man I didn't any of that, you and your friend are bent outta shape!" Bregan immediately got up and approached Willis and Sine. "I'm sorry guys for leaving the wrong impression! Let's hug it out." Bregan spread his arms out wide and Willis with major reluctance accepted. "Come on elven lady let bygones be bygones!" Bregan yelled. "Come on Sine hug Bregan, let's not make him angry." Willis muttered "Trust me Sine I hate this more than you probably do." After the awkward hug Bregan yelled "WOO! With that outta the way let's get to work!" As he headed for the exit.

Síne had been brandishing her dagger for a while. There was a practised deftness to her swing. "Keep your distance, dwarf," she spat. "Touch me and I'll flail you and dress up one of your statues like taxidermy." Her eyes shone with an eerie fire.

Bregan shook his head. "I'm not pleased Willie." he said as they walked out the door. "Your friend has denied the hug and this may reflect on how Martin gets out of debt." It was then Willis whispered to Sine. "Yeah Sine, I don't mind his body parts being strewn on his statues but we gotta play nice. He does pay very well and he we have to get Martin out of his debt. As soon as this done, I'll buy you dinner to forget about this shit. What do you say?" Heading to the left of the mansion, the trio approached a luxurious looking buggy. The horses were sturdy looking and black furred, they looked annoyed judging how they repeatedly shake their head as Bregan approached. Willis chuckled, maybe they hated Bregan as well. "Get on wagon Willie and Sine!" Bregan said gleefully "We're going to Pony's Point south from the docks." "Yay." Willis mumbled. Bregan rode the buggy rather recklessly through the streets of Val Royneux. Willis barely hung on as Bregan raced through the poor souls that were in the half-breeds way. Willis could hear the various curses from the pedestrians when Bregan nearly ran him over. "What do you need done Bregan?" Willis asked as he clutched the side of the buggy. "Willie, Sine we got some serious shit that is about to go down!" Bregan smiled. "Hopefully something simple like shopping for groceries." Willis said "Sine and I are pretty exhausted, having fought an entire mercenary group this morning." "Oho! The elven lady and roguish rivaini taking on a mercenary group?!" Bregan said with intrigue in his voice. "Sound like a badass couple!" "Whatever." Willis mumbled. "So any way." Bregan continued "About your grocery comment Willie..... I mean I am shocked you have makings of a man but your words suggest that you are actually are a pussy bitch!" Bregan turned around to stare at Sine. "Sine! How can you hang with such a pussy bitch, when you can hang out with a real man like me?!" Ignoring Bregan's pass at Sine, Willis spoke. "Listen Bregan you're businessman so let's handle you know business things. Not this bullshit that's way above you. Well considering your height it's not too hard to do." Bregan raised his eyebrows in objection. "Woah man! That's a little too far, I mean you forgot that I have my one eyed monster! Want to show it to you?!" "I aint into that shit, especially from a person who's suffering from small man syndrome and feels the need to overcompensate. Am I right Sine?" "I'm going to ignore that Willie." Bregan said smiling, but his tone of voice is more of annoyance. "This job is Cheavalier level shit baby! Woo! So don't hold me responsible when you and your girl have inadequacy issues." "Hey and Sine I are worried for you." Willis replied then he whispered to the elf winking "Not really." "I think you're getting the wrong impression of me you two." Bregan snapped. "I was soldier who fought in the fifth blight! I've seen shit you wouldn't believe man!" "Yeah I couldn't believe a bunch of Darkspawn bowed down to a testerone poisoned short man who talks too much." Willis said sarcastically. "All right enough with the jokes we're nearly there anyway." Bregan said bitterly. Willis, Sine and Bregan got off the buggy and headed to the docks. Ahead of them were a bunch normal looking people lifting boxes. Bregan moved ahead of Willis and Sine and approached one of the men. "Hey you!" Bregan yelled whistling. One of the men a bald one, turned around looking shocked. "Man get away from us Bregan! We're not doing business with you fucking rip off merchant!" "Woah boys!" Bregan laughed staring at Willis and Sine as if this man was ridiculous. Willis thought the opposite. "No more bullshit guys!" Bregan declared "This is hostile takeover! Time to hand it over!" "Fuck you fucking dwarven bitch!" The man shouted "You ripped us off for the last time!" Drawing out his Iron Longsword the man shouted: "Let's get these fuckers!" and the men surrounded him did the same. Morrigan

Bregan turned around to stare at Sine. "Sine! How can you hang with such a pussy bitch, when you can hang out with a real man like me?!"
Síne was as always fidgeting with her knife. It was a mystery how she did not cut herself the way the buggy rocked. "Have you considered," she said coldly, "that you might not enjoy my company as much as you think?"
Ignoring Bregan's pass at Sine, Willis spoke. "Listen Bregan you're businessman so let's handle you know business things. Not this bullshit that's way above you. Well considering your height it's not too hard to do."
Bregan raised his eyebrows in objection. "Woah man! That's a little too far, I mean you forgot that I have my one eyed monster! Want to show it to you?!"
"I aint into that shit, especially from a person who's suffering from small man syndrome and feels the need to overcompensate. Am I right Sine?"
Síne wrinkled her nose at the two men. "Maker's breath," she sighed. "Have you two boys considered joining a comedy troupe together?"
Bregan eventually pulled the horses to a stop. Síne tagged behind the two men down to the docks. She was sucking her thumb, having inevitably cut herself with her knife when the buggy hit a rock. Bregan ran ahead to speak to some dockworkers. Síne caught up with Willis. Her wound had stopped bleeding. It did not look like Bregan was getting along with the men he was talking to. One of the dockworkers drew his sword and his compatriots followed suit. Síne raised her arm and summoned a shockwave that threw the first dockworker against a wall. His sword flew from his hand. It looked like it would take him some time to get back up.
Síne nudged Willis in the side. "How do we play this?" she asked. "Do we talk them down or kill them? Maybe we should run back to the buggy. Leave this dwarf behind."

Willis looked at the men charging at them and turned to Sine "I don't think they're in the mood for talking sweetheart and besides as much as I'd love to get outta here we have to do this for Martin." Willis drew out his sword and ran towards the men cut down two of them in succession. "From the corner of his eye he saw that Bregan was hacking away with his battle ax killing about 4 men. Willis did think about Sine's advice of talking them down as he saw more men coming from around the corner. "Guys!" Willis shouted to the attacking men "this isn't worth dying for! Run away!" The men ignored Willis as one person appeared on the rooftop with a crossbow and shot Willis in the stomach. Willis felt it immediately as if a horse stomped him repeatedly. He screamed and fell down and was bleeding out. "You're fucking pussy Willie!" He heard Bregan yell. "Sine why do you even hang out with him?!" Morrigan

Síne closed her fist and the crossbowman fell to his death. A wave of her hand made the remaining soldiers catch on fire. Síne smiled. Then she squatted down beside Willis. "I don't know, Bregan," she said. "Willis, why do I hang out with you? Give me something concrete."

Willis smiled as the pain dulled down "because I'm a good friend and a constant source of excitement! Or Because I'm too handsome and wonderful and I perfectly compliment a pretty girl that's staring right In front of me!" Willis got up and observed the carnage. "Thanks for the healing Sine" Willis said holding his newly healed abdomen. "Looks like we're done here." "Indeed we are people!" Bregan yelled covered in blood "here's your pay! Now run off! I'll be in touch!" Willis with a big coin purse in hand left Bregan. He looked up and noticed the sun was setting. "Hey Sine wanna go stargazing now that we are done for today?" Willis asked.

Síne held up the crossbow bolt and watched Willis blood drop down from the tip.
"Hey, Sine. Wanna go stargazing now that we are done for today?" Willis asked.
Síne snapped the bolt in two with her fingers. "Huh?" she said absently. "Sure. Stars. Maker knows I have seen my share of those over the last ... five years." She scampered around the battlefield and kicked the burnt corpses with her shoeless foot. "We did this," she said. "Swish, swash and poooof! All gone. Empty husks." A proud smile formed on her lips. "One day I am gonna teach myself how to make them walk again, after they fall."

"We did this" Sine said observing the corpses. "Swish awash and pooof!" All gone empty husks!" Willis never put much thought into the people he's killed over the years he was a mercenary. He always tried to avoid jobs that harmed innocents or ones he felt were morally questionable. Still every now and then Willis did feel a pang of guilt towards the people he's killed especially today. These men that Willis and Sine killed looked like ordinary dock workers rather than thugs. They seemed to do shady things but Willis knew that a dock workers pay was shit so they resort to things like smuggling to make ends meet for their families. Having worked for some of them in the past Willis could sympathize. All the reason he was eager to pay off martins debt "One day I'm going to teach myself how to make them walk again." Sine smiled kicking a burnt corpse with her bare foot. "You may want to go tggo Tevinter for that" Willis replied "they seem to love raising the dead for reason. There are a few people in Rivain who practice it too, I could take your here but I don't really wanna go back to Rivain." There were too many bad memories for Willis back there especially about his mother. Looking up at the sky Willis determined that it'll be a few hours before the sun truly sets and the stars will be visible. His stomach began to rumble. "It'll be while before we can see stars." Willis said to Sine "I'm getting hungry so let's get some dinner I'm thinking of something expensive too. I'm buying Sine so what do you say do we have a date?" Willis winked at the elf after finishing his last statement Morrigan

"An elf in Tevinter?" Síne laughed. "They would probably sacrifice me to one of their dragon gods."
"It'll be while before we can see stars." Willis said to Sine "I'm getting hungry so let's get some dinner I'm thinking of something expensive too. I'm buying Sine so what do you say do we have a date?"
"Food?" Síne smiled a toothy smile. Her sunken cheeks made her look more than a little terrifying. "I am so hungry I could have eaten one of these dockpeople." Síne took Willis wrist and dragged him along after her. "Your mother raised you good, kid," she said. "Let's not tarry."

"You don't know my mother" Willis mumbled as he struggled against sine's grip. For a skinny elf, Sine is surprisingly strong to the point where Willis had to grab a the corner of a brick wall to stop Sine from dragging him. "Hold on! Sine!" Willis yelled painfully "do you even know where you are going?! I wanna treat you nice tonight!" Willis similed at Sine. She is pretty cute and as a mage she's been on the run for so long that he suspected that she must be exhausted from what she's seen or experienced. Considering Willis met Sine in a cell surrounded by red templars. She probably hasn't had the best of times. "I know a place called Bistro Moncur down in Val Royneuax marketplace. Very famous and a very expensive Restaurant only the rich can afford it! But..." Willis showed Sine the big, fat coin purse. "Bregan seemed to pay us a huge amount to afford a dinner there. You're probably worried about your status as an elf and if they accept you but I don't give a shit. If they have a problem with you they'll answer to me!" Willis put the coin purse away "I like you Sine. I don't often say that to people I work with. So far in our short time together you've been good to me. And I assume you haven't been treated well. So let me treat you to a good dinner." Willis motioned sine to follow him but stopped. "Do you want me to carry you there Sine?" He winked remembering her words at the fountain. Morrigan

Síne jumped up on Willis's back and strode across his neck. "I knew I would see the day when elves ruled men," she shouted triumphantly. "Take me to a tavern and stuff me with meat until I pop."

"Whatever you say Sine!" Willis rolled his eyes as he held Sine's legs. Willis was actually a little happy that he didn't have to spend the majority of the coin on an expensive restaurant. Besides, Martin does have his Taverns which he access for free though Willis chose not take advantage of it because of Martin's debt and the fact that he can be a little prickly if Willis abused his privileges. Which he did once, and ended setting one of his Taverns on fire. "Sine let's get to one of Martin's Taverns it's not too far we can take the scenic route!" Willis jogged to an alleyway and climbed up a rusted ladder. Once he was on the roof top he took a quick look ahead. Val Royneaux looked very beautiful at sunset, with the lights illuminating against the orange-yellow sunlight. Willis slipped into his spirit form, and talked to Sine. "Up north is where the Tavern is. I'm going get there jumping from rooftop to rooftop in my spirit form. "I used to do this when I give chase to thugs or I try to escape from a bad situation. I'd suggest you hold on Sine!" Willis walked towards the edge. It was long way down, and a long away across to the next rooftop. Willis smiled jumped across from the rooftop. He wasn't paying attention to anything Sine possibly said he was focused on the moment. Willis ran, flipped and jumped his way throught the rooftops and about 10 minutes later they were at the building which was next to the Tavern. (OOC: This is kinda what happened Morrigan just ignore the rolling and the dialogue! XD:)
Finding a ladder, Willis slid down and met the bouncer who was patting down patrons. "Oh Willis." The man said finally noticing him. He was a bald dark skinned man with a thin mustache, wearing a black tunic. "Vince, hey!" Willis said smiling. "Set a table for two." "Not a problem Willis." Vince said. "That Elf on your back your......." "Friend." Willis said sharply. "Let's get in there Sine." (OOC: I'll let you continue the part where Sine eats and speaks. Morrigan )

Síne jumped off of Willis and followed Vince to their table. "I could eat a whole pig on my own," she said. "I have a burning hunger."
Vince went to deliver their order to the kitchen. Síne immediately became restless and started manipulating the candlelights with her magic. The flame danced in rhythm with the movements of her bony fingers. The shadow on Síne's face brought out her sharp cheekbones and hollow cheeks.

Willis observed Sine playing with the candle flame. "The flame brings out your beauty." He winked as Vince bought some steak and mashed potatoes filled with gravy. Willis thanked Vince and ate the steak with gusto. "Pretty good food isn't Sine?" He said between bites. As they ate, Willis wanted to probe more into Sine's past especially her friend. "Hey so about your friend...... Who is he or she? And what happened to them?" Morrigan.

"Er... friend?" Síne said with her mouth half full. "Oh, Helen! The one I was meeting. We were in the Circle together. I figured she would have joined either the College of Enchanters or the new Circle. Helen was always a fan of Madame de Fer ... that's an important mage lady ... anyway, I stumbled upon another old friend who told me Helen was living as an apostate in Val Royeaux." Síne eyes turned sad. "The thought of seeing her again ... it did ... it made me feel like I was back in the Circle again and everything was good. Of course, when I finally found Helen, I was jumped by Red Templars and dragged through several mile of mud."
Síne took a big bite from her steak and washed it down with an entire glass of ale.

"Helen......" Willis thought as he took more bites from his steak. "Heard about Helen, good bard from what I was able to gather. Also heard about Viviene, she's a fellow Rivani though she has a very conservative view about magic and is known to be prickly." Willis took a long swing of ale. "Still do you know what happened to Helen? Was she killed by Red Templars?" There was something that Sine wasn't saying, her eyes were sad when she mentioned Helen and she mentioned reuniting with Helen she was hesitant. "Was she captured a long side you? We can go back and rescue her If you want." Morrigan

Síne froze. "No, I don't think she got captured," she finally said. "I tried to fight off the Templars and she ... she just fled. I even think she knew they were there."

Willis frowned. "It sounds like she led you into an ambush Sine. I've seen how Red Templars operate, they spare no one. The fact that the Red Templars just left Helen alone tells me that she was colluding with them."
"But why?" Willis thought If this theory was true, why would a mage be so willing to sell out their best friend to a bunch of monsters? What did the Red Templars have to offer Helen?
"Sine...." Willis whispered. "Have you considered the possibility that Helen could've sold you out?"

Síne looked away and began fidgeting with her hair. "No, that is unthinkable for so many reasons. She would never do that. It is just ridiculous. There is no way." Síne took out her knife and started playing with it. It seemed to calm her. "What I think she did was ... I think she traded my life for hers. Perhaps she thought I could fight my way out. I almost did."

Willis sighed "So she betrayed you then." Although Sine is a good fighter, there was no way one mage could take on bunch of Templars with their anti-magic capabilities. "She turned on you to save her own skin and that doesn't sound like betrayal like you." Willis growled anger, anger rising in his voice "It sounds exactly like a betrayal. Think about the logic in your words she traded her life for yours? If she was friend, she would fight by your side instead running away leaving you alone, she would've protected you! But instead she left you to your fate and you were nearly turned into a Red Lyrium mine!" Willis expression turned into that of sadness. "Sine...... There's no other way to slice it, Helen turned on you for whatever reason and abandoned you to die. I know that she's your very old friend, but things change especially during war. I don't what's up with Helen, but it seems she's no longer the friend you've known Sine." Morrigan

Síne grinned. "I like it when you get all angry," she said. "I don't think Helen has changed that much, though. We were close ... really close, but I can't remember her ever sticking up for me. Of course, things were very different back then. We were just kids and ... I did not grow up like you did, Willis ... on the streets and all. That came later." Síne sighed. "A part of me is angry with her. Not just for this last thing ... for many things. I want to show her how much more powerful I am. You know, Helen never completed her training as a mage. I am sure I could snap her like a twig if I wanted."

"From the little time I've spent with you Sine." Willis smiled "You don't need to resort to blood magic to show how strong you've become. Strength isn't necessarily how much power you got. It's more about overcoming hardships and emotional trauma in your life. When I met you 2 days ago, I knew that you were already strong even before I knew you were a mage." Willis then wiped his mouth with his napkin and continued. "From what I see, Helen doesn't seem to know you that well. Otherwise she would've seen the strength that displayed to me, or would've stuck up for you when you were in the Circle or......." Willis gulped at what he was going to say "maybe deep down, that you weren't that close to Helen as you claimed. Since you still feel resentment towards her." Morrigan

Síne filled her glass again. "Well, I can't deny there has been some trauma, emotional and otherwise," she took a deep swig. "The thing is, you need real literal strength ... you know ... to beat people up or to set them on fire. Lyrium is hard to come by, so when another gang of bandits comes running for you..." she pulled back her sleeve and showed Willis the scars in her palm and along her arm.

Willis took Sine's arm and analyzed the scars on them. Some looked very old and others looked new. "I don't deny you that you need literal strength." Willis frowned. "It just that I would argue literal strength is not the be all end all when it comes to accessing people." After scanning Sine's arm, Willis shook his head. "It's sad to see a pretty girl like you cut yourself up. It tarnishes your beauty" He smiled "I know you need to defend yourself so, stick with me and I'll make sure you have access to lyrium, I know a few smugglers who'll provide you some lyrium." Just then Vince arrived. "Hey Willis." He said. "Just received word, Martin wants to see you." "This late?" Willis moaned. "Great...... Looks like we'll put the stargazing on hold Sine. Finish up and follow me we need to see what madness Martin got himself into this time." Morrigan (OOC: When they go stargazing which is after this mission. The ambush will begin.)
