And damn Giggles, now I'm really curious as to what would you do with tree stumps, a dwarf, and a lot of sweat! Maybe you can still share it with us without submitting it for the prompt.

By: Giggles_Mannically.
The sun had set, over a small encampment that was nestled into a group of trees. The camp housed less than a dozen people, but only two of them were on watch. On a closer examination one of them was a dwarf with black hair, wearing a set of light armour with a large Two Handed Sword across his lap. The other was a red haired human woman who was presently talking about something, that the Dwarf seemed amused at.
“I like these nights at camp, its quiet and the stars are out, it’s just so peaceful” the woman said in a soft Orlesian accent.
“I know what you mean, at least we don’t have to listen to a bunch of people arguing all the time”, the dwarf responded in a very deep voice that almost seem to come out of the ground itself.
At this the woman let out a small giggle “what you don’t like listening to the others debates, Dain?” she asked.
“Not when they sound like a bunch of deshyrs who woke up on the wrong side of the bed, Leliana” Dain replied.
Leliana and Dain were both presently sitting on a log and looking off into the dark, since they were on watch. To a careful observer they would notice that they were sitting rather closely, and that occasionally one of their hands would reach out to brush the others fingers and then quickly move away.
“The night always seems safer to me for some reason, silly isint it the darkspawn never sleep and they lurk in the shadows” Leliana suddenly said.
“Well you have to be silly sometimes, too much seriousness and it gets to be like Orzamar.” Dain replied.
“I enjoy these nights when we both are on watch, and we talk until our watch is over.” Letting out another small giggle she said “well I talk mostly, you just seem to listen.”
“About shoes for the most part, if memory serves” Dain replied, with a small smile, though it is hard to tell since a beard covered most of his face.
With a small smile Leliana continued “sometimes if I fall asleep, I wake up and see you watching over all of us, over me.” As she continued her voice seemed to lose some confidence and she started to stumble over some of her words. Picking up on this Dain shifted around to face her more directly.
“You never have to be afraid, around me Leliana” Dain said.
“Umm, what I’m trying to say is that, is that I feel comfortable around you, I trust you and know that if I ever needed you, you’d be there.” If Leliana’s voice was nervous before it was incredibly nervous know.
“You are our leader, our protector, and my friend, and... and sometimes I think that maybe, we could be ah more than that.” Smiling again, and letting out a little laugh she continued.
“Oh Maker look at me stumbling over my words like some un-educated peasant girl, ha some bard I am” Before she could fully look away, Dain saw how red her face was, and placing his sword on the stump a bit behind him Dain turn back and asked “are you embarrassed?”
“I’m not embarrassed!” she said in shock, “I’m just flushed... from the heat” she replied in a panicky tone.
“The fire went out hours ago you know?” Dain said in an amused tone. However before she could reply Dain said “I’ve always thought that we more than friends, at Ieast I thought it was pretty obvious.”
“You do? Then why did you make me say them first? Oh how very awkward!” she said in a rush. Looking at her fully now Dain could see how red her cheeks were, and how she was trying to avoid eye contact.
“Oh chivalry is so dead making the lady spill her guts like that” Leliana said, finally gaining back the courage to look at Dain again. For a brief moment which later on Dain could not exactly recall for how long they simply starred at each other. Without really thinking about his hand reached out and found hers.
Trying to think of something to say Dain said “so I guess that settles that then, we both like each other, but more than friends do.” In his head he scolded himself for being such an idiot, and ruining the moment.
“Um, I’m not so sure just yet” Leliana said, with a devious little smile playing at her lips.
Gently she took both of her hands and put them on Dain’s shoulders, and started to lean in. Before Dain could react, the ability for his brain to work properly shut down.
Leliana shifter herself on the log and was within inches of Dain’s lips. Dimly in the back part of his mind Dain was aware that Leliana had the slight fragrance of the flower he had picked up for her back in Redcliffe.
Softly, her lips touched his, as his arms in turn pulled her body against his. The kiss deepened and became more intense, and his senses began to spin as he took in the slight smell around Leliana, the taste of her lips, and how she felt against him. The combination off all of those things promptly caused Dain to lose his balance and fall off the log.
However as stated before his mind wasn’t running correctly causing him to pull Leliana down with him. The shock of hitting the ground knocked the air out of Dain, and his senses back into him at the same time. Which then made him fully aware of the equally surprised red head that was now lying on top of him. For a while they simply stayed like that with Leliana smiling down at him and Dain looking back up at her.
“Well I guess that settles it.” Leliana said in a very sweet tone.
“I’m not so sure yet.” Dain replied with a smile.
THE END.

Nice work Giggles. Too bad that one isn't an entry.
I'm in a stump. If I knew how to make cutscenes with the toolset I'd already have done my entry. This is what I get for not learning to do that.

Dain is serious at times, but he does laugh at times mostly around Leliana.Zjarcal wrote...
Yeah, I liked it, the whole thing. I liked how Dain kept making references to Orzammar (the deshyr refence made me chuckle). Dain came off as a bit of a softie in here if you ask me, which is nice.
THIS is also his view on Orzammar.
He likes it an all but dosent really miss it.

But it was a nice story. However, from the impressions I got from earlier posts (in which Dain was mentioned), I thought that Dain was always running away from Leliana...
Oh it doesn't matter.
It's a nice story. It would've been a good entry.

First and Last Pet Nug
Orzammar was celebrating they had a King and they were finally united some thought for better or worse.
Before Favian and his companions would venture back to Redcliffe to let the Arl Eamon know they are ready for the Landsmeet they needed to resupply, and at least stay a little and browse the merchants for any items or trinkets they may want.
Favian asked Oghren in a confused tone. “So uhh Oghren, do nugs make good pets?”
Oghren laughed. “Hah a pet nug? What are you going to do fatten him up for later?”
“No.. I think Leliana wanted one as a pet” Favian explained.
Morrigan eavesdropping in remarked. “A nug? Those creatures twas most disgusting.”
Oghren pointed out to Morrigan. “Well they taste helluva lot better than they smell or look especially with sauce.”
Favian let out a sigh realizing he hadn't gotten any useful advice. Leliana and the others had just arrived back from the Diamond Quarter. Leliana questioned Favian. “Why the long sigh my dear?”
“Oh nothing was just talking to Oghren and Morrigan.” Favian explained.
Alistair with a smirk said “Hah! That happens to me as well after talking to them.”
Leliana then pulled out a pair of gigantic sandals with red straps from her pack. “A little big for you don't you think?” Favian asked.
Leliana giggled “I got them for Shale and I hope they fit.”
“You think she will wear them?” Favian questioned.
“Maybe I'm not sure, but she deservesa birthday present she is 500 years old according to Cadash Thaig records it had been bothering me she was so old and never had a birthday present.” Leliana said firmly.
Favian explained to his companions how King Bhelen wanted to meet with the Grey Wardens again before they left, so everyone but Favian and Alistair exited Orzammar.
“Last time I checked the palace is the other way.. this is to Dust Town.” Alistair pointed out.
Favian explained. “I needed an excuse, so I could go get Leliana a surprise gift.”
“What could you find in Dust Town to give to Leliana?” Alistair questioned.
“A nug.” Favian said firmly.
“A nug?! Do you not remember thesound of them from the Deep Roads the constant screeching and whining not to mention they are ugly that is your big surprise?” Alistair said bewildered.
“Maybe since there will only be one It will be quiet.” Favian hoped.
Outside Orzammar Favian's companionswere waiting for the Grey Wardens to return. Oghren had been shaking his head. Leliana asked. “Is the sky making you dizzy Oghren?” “What no!” Oghren said defensibly. Oghren snorted as he said. “A pet nug ha!” “A pet nug, you mean those subterranean bunny pigs?” Leliana questioned. “What? Never had em cooked that way.” Oghren said.
“Maker! You eat them?!” Leliana exclaimed.
“Tis often one's diet reflects one'snature. I would say a nug fits perfectly for Oghren.” Morrigan said callously.
Oghren pointed out. “There good with sauce.”
“Finally the Wardens return we can leave this place, and prepare to face the Blight” Sten said firmly.
“Yes Sten I am eager to leave the snow and stone behind. It would be nice to see some vegetation.” Favian said agreeably.
The party ventured down the mountain range they had planned to set up camp at the base of the range where the trees would shelter them from the chilly winds. They arrived at their old campsite, and began to set up camp. Favian then asked Leliana to come to his tent. “A little eager tonight aren't we my Grey Warden.” Leliana giggled.
“I have a surprise for you Leliana.” Favian said. “Remember how you mentioned how cute the nugs were?I bought one for you.”
Leliana hugged him and let out a squee. “He is so cute!” Leliana explained, and then grabbed the nug out of Favian's pack. The nug was hungry and cold from the trip. “You poor thing you are starving and cold.” Leliana said affectionately.
“You like him?” Favian questioned.
“Why did you let him freeze in your pack, and you didn't even feed him we walked for hours Schmooples is traumatized the poor dear!” Leliana exclaimed.
“Uhh I thought he would be okay.” Favian tried to explain.
“How would you like to be cold and hungry?” Leliana pointed out “Would you be okay then just sitting in the dark shivering and hungry.” “I think you should apologize of Schmooples.” Leliana said firmly.
“What! I'm not apologize to a nug.” Favian said irritated.
“Well then you can sit in the dark alone and cold tonight like poor Schmooples had to.” Leliana said angrily. “I'm going to take Schmooples over to my tent and get him warm and some bread.”
“You can't be serious.” Favian said shocked. “I can't believe this your picking a nug over me? A nug that I gave to you!”
Leliana took Schmooples and went to the other side of camp, and set up her tent she had towels wrapped around him to keep him warm, and he had been given bread to eat. As Schmooples began to regain his strength he started his screeching and whining. Leliana had already fallen asleep by then. While all the other companions had gathered around the fire unable to sleep from the screeching and whining from Schmooples. Favian's companions were directing most of their venom at him about bringing the nug.
“I don't like it anymore than any of you.” Favian said defensibly. “Heck she was wanting me to apologize to the nug because I didn't feed it on the way down here!”
“Yes that argument I couldn't help but here was quite amusing my friend.” Zevran remarked. “I have never been denied a tumble because of a nug you have me there.”
Alistair mumbled. “I told you so.”
Favian asked. “How long do they live Oghren?”
“Not long in the wild, but as a pet it could be 10-15 years maybe more” Oghren said.
Favian released a huge sigh
Morning came slowly everyone but Schmooples and Leliana hadn't got much sleep. Tired and frustrated Favian apologized to Leliana, but Leliana quickly reminded him that it was not her he needs to apologize, but to Schmooples. Favian let out a long drawn sigh and mumbled. “Sorry Schmooples.”
“That didn't sound to sincere.” Leliana pointed out.
Favian bit his lower lip apologies have never been his strong point, and said “I'm sorry for leaving you inmy pack for hours Schmooples.”
“He accepts.” Leliana said approving. “Schmooples will be okay here in my tent. Lets go over to your tent before the others are awake.” Leliana giggled.
Favian shook his head in agreement as Leliana kissed him. Although he made a vow to himself Schmooples will be the first and last pet nug.
EDIT: Hope this fixed the formatiing.

To tell you the truth, given the "last" part in the title, the talk of eating nugs, and all of the glares, I was a little worried for Schmooples's life right up until the end xD. Glad the little guy made it through the night intact!
