The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Varric]

"Good then. So. We should... we should get back to the others." He glances at the camp, some thirty or so yards away. Then winces as he spots Beth on the edge of the clearing- too far to hear them, but she can easily- yep, she's waving at us. 

[Helene Dakesh]

Helene, still blushing, gives a nod, and packs up her things to head back to the camp.

[Carver Amell]

Carol wakes on her own, before Beth goes to get her; she dresses in borrowed garments, a pair of trousers Marian had bought for her disguise as well as a tunic borrowed from Lightsong. It's strange, wearing this -- they're like stockings, but looser, rougher. It's... nice, almost. If my hair were shorter--- 

She cuts the thought off, buries it. I'm a lady. I'm expected to wear gowns, but I'm wearing this as a disguise. So they won't find me. Still, wouldn't a haircut go well with her disguise? Better not risk it.

She slips out of her tent, blinking at the sun sleepily. Breakfast... likely cold rations again.

[Bethany]

Biting her lip, Bethany gives Lightsong a nervous look, who simply nod encouragingly at her. Steeling herself, the young woman heads over to her twin. Coughing softly, she offers a smile. "Uh, good morning? I... I have some hot tea. And some porridge with roasted rabbit shreds? Ummm. Varric made it..."

[Carver Amell]

Carol's face falls. "Oh. You." She scowls, glancing away. "Why are you even still here? Just to make sure I don't forget what you did? Did you ever even care about him, or just about hurting me?"

[Bethany]

"I-" Bethany flinches, stepping back. "I- I love Hunter, I'm so sorry about not telling you he was fine, I just-"

[Carver Amell]

"Hunter?" she asks bitterly. "That's what you apologize for? Not fucking my fiance behind my back, but the damn dog?"

[Bethany]

Bethany staggers back this time, the tea slopping over the rim. Not that she notices the still hot water on her hand as she fights back her gorge. She shudders at the feel of hands on her breasts, fingers ripping inside her. "I- no! I didn't- he hit- hit me."

[Haliel Lightsong]

Nearby, Lightsong fights the urge to rush over and help. No, they need to at least try and work this out alone first. 

[Carver Amell]

"And that makes it okay?" Carol steps forward, scowling. "If I hit you, will you fuck me too, whore?" 

[Bethany]

Blinking back tears, Bethany shakes her head slowly. "I didn't- I never- not with him. I hate him. I would never- He-" She shudders again. "He tried to- to- r-r-r-"

[Haliel Lightsong]

Never mind. Moving quick, Lightsong comes forward to take the items out of Beth's hands before she hurts herself. "Hey, hey..."

[Carver Amell]

"You hate him because you knew he was cheating!" insists Carol. "You tempted him, you-- you betrayed me! I trusted you and you went behind my back!"

[Marian Hawke]

"She did not," snarls Marian, coming over to step between the twins. "She never!" 

[Tethras Clan]

"Look at her, Miss Carol," Lightsong says gently. "Look at her."
