Sten's would have fluffy bunnies on them! And Oghren's would have... little axes
.
Here's my prompt entry - it's a little bit racy but only in a suggestive way!
All's Fair in Love and WarHe certainly hadn't expected that to happen. He scrambled backwards until he was against the cliff wall, taking catalogue of his wounds, which were more severe than he liked, considering his distinct lack of mana. And these were his best robes. He tutted, pulling his pack around to his front. Stupid of him, not to bring Pounce - Pounce would have healed him up in no time. But stupid of bandits, to attack him, even after they saw his warden robes and his staff - it wasn't as though he wasn't the most well known mage in Amaranthine. Bandits usually
knew to avoid him.
These ones had been a bit more desperate, he supposed. And now... well, desperate was
one way of describing them. He winced a little as he watched, pulling out a lyrium potion and drinking it.
They weren't going to bother him, as long as he stayed relatively out of sight.
Neria had taught him the spell, yes, and she'd used it on him more than once... and oh was he grateful that she had - if for whatever reason they were separated for more than a day he found himself tempted to cast it on
himself. But he hadn't ever cast it on anyone else. No indeed. It was a personal thing - between him and his lover. They hadn't talked about it with anyone else and Anders knew that it wasn't common knowledge in the Tower...
He'd joked with her - about combining Miasma and Mass Rejuvenation, but she could never master the top level creation spells and his miasma had always been sub-standard - entropy and healing just didn't go well together. He must have called on reserves he didn't know he had, to manage that spell combination. It probably had something to do with his lyrium addled senses - at a point in the battle when he was genuinely afraid of being overwhelmed his mind had drifted to Neria and the last time they had made love and his magic had just...
...spilled out.
They were moaning now, and sweating, and most of the armour had come off and truly if anyone else came to this part of the forest they'd think he was the leader of some sex-witch sect. He'd never seen two men do
that before. He'd certainly never seen four men and three women do
that...The lyrium potion took effect and Anders gradually stopped the bleeding from the wound on his thigh, careful not to deplete his mana enough to lose his grip on miasma. He was going to have to recast rejuvenation soon as well. Although he wondered if they were so far gone now that the didn't
need the spells. It would take a little longer to get to a point where he could walk, though, so he recast just to make sure.
The extra chorus of moans as he released the spell almost made him blush. Of course, he
could have firestormed them instead - but it seemed such a shame to interrupt...
Two weeks later when he was back in Amaranthine with Neria at the Crown and Lion he noticed a man looking at him curiously from another table. The man was shabbily dressed, cradling a large tankard of ale. Neria nudged him in the ribs.
"Who's that? Friend of yours?"
He looked at the man over his goblet of Antivan red and frowned. He did look familiar. "I'm not sure," Anders said. The man's stare bored into him but Anders couldn't place it. Finally, the stranger approached their table. Anders gave him a friendly smile.
"Can I help you, friend?"
"You're the warden mages, right?" he said, gruffly. They nodded. "Were you by any chance on the road in the Wending Wood, two weeks ago? Attacked by... " he coughed, a little embarrassed, "attacked by bandits?"
Anders cocked an eyebrow and tried to imagine the man naked. Yup...
now he knew where he knew him. He let out a chuckle. "I bet that's the last time
you'll be attacking helpless mages in the woods, eh?" he said.
The man blushed. "Well.. yes," he said. "But... uh... I was wondering..."
"Yes?"
"Is there any way you can come to my place and do that again? Only the wife was wondering...."
Anders nearly choked on his wine.
He certainly hadn't expected
that to happen.
