The Silver Queen [AU]

"No-one has ma'bela," Zevran says, attempting to keep his voice light and even but unable to stop the deep concern from showing in his gaze. "You are... well?"

[Isabela]

"Better. I had a grand evening. Did you find anything?" she asks, pausing to kiss Helene's cheek as she enters, heels in one hand. "Hey cutie."

[Helene Dakesh]

"This one is relieved no harm came to Captain Isabela."

[Isabela]

"Right back at'cha."

[Carver Amell]

"Tell her it's not my fault!" protests the brunette-for-the-night Hawke, following after Isabela. "I thought she had it in hand, she said she was fine."

[Tethras Clan]

"We'll work on your cue reading," Zevran says absently. "Grand evening?"

[Isabela]

"Yes. I was worried -- he didn't seem to want to take no for an answer -- but he didn't even get handsy when we made out. A true gentleman."

[Tethras Clan]

Zevran stares a moment. "He has a dungeon in his basement. And unless I miss my mark, his wife spend part of her evening there," he says carefully. "Gentleman might be... inaccurate."

[Isabela]

She snorts. "I've enjoyed a dungeon or two in my day."

[Carver Amell]

"What."

[Isabela]

"Consensually!"

[Carver Amell]

"How do you consent to torture?!"

[Isabela]

"I'll tell you when you're older," she says, patting Carver's arm.

[Tethras Clan]

"Think rough sex, just more so," Zevran answers automatically. "It is... possible it is consensual, but... that was not the impression I was getting."

[Carver Amell]

"The wife was acting real weird," Carver jumps in. "She was super timid, real nice and polite, but she didn't do anything without him prompting her, and after she was a bit slow, he told me she had a migraine and took her to lie down."
