Under Darkness [AU]

[Tethras Clan]

"...please tell me he didn't confess or something and you ran off on him?" Varric asks with a wince.

[Carver Amell]

"Ah," he says, rubbing the back of his head. 

[Tethras Clan]

"Right, let's get you to Zevran post-haste then," Varric says quickly, heading back to the cafe. The four Clan members are all still there, though Isabela seems to be claiming her winnings by way of Hawke's lips.

[Marian Hawke]

Hawke's hands, of course, slide into Isabela's back pockets, and she looks quite preoccupied indeed. 

[Carver Amell]

Carver coughs a little, trying to catch Zevran's eye. 

[Tethras Clan]

Aveline notices him first, shiting so the male on her lap can see him. After a gesture to confirm, Zevran slips from his perch and heads for Carver. He pauses a moment right after standing, which mostly blocks the shifter from noticing Aveline adjust her shirt.

"Something amiss? Or perhaps you wish to be dealt in and partake of our game?" he asks Caver with a wink.

[Carver Amell]

"Ah, a word please, in private if you don't mind," he manages. 

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran pouts lightly but turns to the other three and... "I'll let them know when 'bela lets Hawke come up for air," Aveline says with a laugh. "Go help Carver." Nodding, the ex-assassin now adventurer ambles over to Carver.

[Carver Amell]

Carver starts walking before he catches up, leading him into the woods, back toward the cabin he lives in. "Thanks. I needed a second opinion." Thinking of his discussion with Varric, he adds, "Please don't tease me about this one?"

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran pauses a moment, the easy smirk falling from his lips. "Sounds serious- is Andy okay?" he asks with genuine concern, nodding firmly at Carver.. I haven't been at the Oak nearly as much of late, but he seems to have been doing much better. Has he... faltered? Oh, I truly hope not, for his sake, for Seli's and most of all for the babes.

[Carver Amell]

"He's fine," he assures him quickly. "No, this is about... me."

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran relaxes, his lips twitching to a smile, though it's not teasing or smug at all. "That is good to hear. How can I be of help?"

[Carver Amell]

"Ah. So. I was talking with... sodding hells. I was talking with Varric about Andy being gay."

[Tethras Clan]

"Yes he is," Zevran agrees. "Wait, did you not realize? Dammit, I owe ma'bela a silver," he mutters. "Sorry."

[Carver Amell]

He waves a hand. "He, uh. We were uh. We were talking theology. Ah. Are you Astean?"
