But Zevran hasn't necessarily tried to escape. I mean, he HAS, but there are other reasons he could be traveling with the warden. For instance, it could be that he hasn't had a chance to kill him/her yet and is biding his time and trying to gain enough trust that he'll be able to do so.

Taliesen is genuinely surprised when Zevran tells him he's not going back to the Crows.

Hmmm, but here's my squee of the day. How apparent is it that Zevran is changing as you talk to him.

Seriously, when you first meet him and ask him about himself, he's all "I like being an assassin. I'm good at it. I like killing, it gives me a sense of power." But as you talk to him more, you (may) hear about him NOT liking it really, how being cold is not something that comes naturally, until he finally will admit what a monster he really sees himself as.

The line, "you've been a friend to me and more. Far more than I deserve," is so sad, because he really really believes that.

*grin* Ok, enough squee from me.

Edit: @Corker, I'm not sure that Zevran really is fated to take over the crows.  Yes, it said that in Awakening, but I also get the feeling that they weren't really too worried about making things fit -- it's more that they were looking for explanations about why the LIs weren't there and to whomever was writing, that seemed like a good end.  DA2 may take it in another direction.

After all, him being leader of the crows would mean at least a reference in future DA titles, and...  well... ok.

AAAANNND, since it's ToP... Time for a dwarf kiss!

Sorry, that was a sarcastic jab directly at Awakening.

That's wonderful. But when does he say that line? (I don't know it)

@Icevol - I would be very happy to read a long no-entry by you about that topic.

@everyone else - sorry, not enough time to read and answer everything.

He says it to a romance partner after talking about his last mission.  The line is slightly different if he's talking to a friend (to a friend he says, "You've been a friend to me, far more than I deserve."

You get it if you ask him why he's telling you this.

Before I get my feet wet on the Zev/Taliesen thing:  Does anyone have a transcript of Zev's conversation with the ugly guard lady in Fort Drakon? 

Sergeant: State your business.
Zevran: This is a crime. (VO: A little melodramatic.)
Sergeant: What?
Zevran: For a young woman in the prime of her life to waste away... (VO: A littel bit flirtatious)
Zevran: I suppose there is some comfort in the knowledge that you sacrifice your youth and beauty, the best years of your life, for your kingdom, but it seems... such a loss. (VO: Sadly)
Sergeant: I... hadn't really thought of it like that... (VO: Taken aback.)
Zevran: How noble, to sacrifice the pleasures of life so others might enjoy them. Your idealism is impressive.
Sergeant: You know... you're right. Three Satinalias in a row, they've stuck me on barracks duty. Three! (VO: Coming to a realization.)
Sergeant: I'm going to live my life before it's too late. Let somebody else guard their stupid door. (VO: A little bitter now that she's thinking about it.)

Ah, now I've found it. I've never chosen that line (why do you tell me that?), in my opinion it sounded so cheeky. This "far more than I deserve" is really surprising for his character. It's a pity that this line is so "hidden", because I find it very important.

*cry* I just went through 3 Zevran breakups. I'm posting them to youtube now. Gah, that voice acting is SO fabulous. Of course, I could have waited to post this but, *sigh* *cry*

Gah, that totally was a proposal :*(

Edit: The first one is the warden breaking up with Zevran, the other two are Zevran breaking up with the warden.

Breakup 1.  This is what happens if the Warden decides to break up with Zevran because of the political marriage.

You know, I never, ever broke up with Zev in ALL my playthroughs. There was only one that during my first playthrough, I didn't manage to warm toward him enough and ended up he tried to kill me the second time just before the Landsmeet. Other than that, no break up with him at all, can't to it. Will have to break my heart first.

I have a bit of an advantage here, as not only have I played through an ungodly amount of times, but since I have modded him and fixed all his bugs, I've read all the dialog, repeatedly, which takes a lot of the punch out of it.

Now, if only these other two would finish uploading...  They're Zevran dumping the warden.  Not the warden dumping Zevran!  Once after he's in love, and once is the circumstance where he'll break up if the warden is getting married (there's ONE way that will happen).

Breakup 2.  This is very similar to Breakup 1, there's only one different line, but it's Zevran who is breaking up.  This happens if the warden and Zevran have not made love, and the approval is below adore.

Breakup 3.  I can't even check the annotations on this one to make sure they're correct and all.  Zevran breaks up with the warden because the proposal is too much.  OMG...  Ugh.  This one is...  bad.

Edit: Tomorrow I may do the breakup which leads to the public kiss, just before he leaves, just after Taliesen.  Though I'm not sure.  I'm still feeling a bit sick to my stomach.

Relieve yourselves after all that breakup nonsense with a short Zev fic: Atiya Nagrano

[wildannie]

Breakup 3 is so sad, I've seen it before with slightly different dialog- but that one, with the 'maybe it would be better for you if we stopped' response makes it even more sad...



@Tellervo - I did cheer myself up with your fic, I loved it! - thanks for posting the link to rescue traumatized fans from Zev breakup angst

[Aroihkin]

RL has been made of fail and trauma and ugh for the last few days, especially all of yesterday, so I'm pausing in the middle of other things to antidote myself with some Zev/Tannu art. Since it has Zevran in it again, I figured I'd post my scary-ass six hour mark of disjointed... scaryness.



06hrs, 00mins

It's zoomed out to 50% to spare some of the scaryness of my flat, in-progress lines. Zev is going to be in front of Tannu, but I'm putting the basics down before I put the lineart together. MS Paint doesn't have layers, remember. XD More about the possible pose over here (worksafe).

And I didn't post this one up since it didn't have Zevran in it, but for sh*ts and giggles, the solo!Tannusen pic I did last week:



Put Your Lights On (1020 x 1000)

(God this one shrinks like crap...) Erm, anyway, I haven't drawn Tannusen looking straight at the camera like... ever. And even here I kept wanting to tilt or turn his head, but I made myself draw him straight on. So it seemed appropriate to make it into an actual mug shot of sorts, sort of Saiyuki style with the sign and such.

@Aro, nice!   Do you usually compose each character separately?  (I totally didn't know XD)


Adding to the lulz pile, a retelling of Zevran's rescue of the Wardens from Fort Drakon... with help from the dog: Infiltration

It makes me wonder what they might have done if Zevran had turned on the Warden (or left the fight) and the Crows had won.

If Bioware wrote it?  They'd take over the Crows.  Because apparently it is Zevran's destiny to do so.  <_<

ETA: But but ambiguously.  Some reports would say that a human man was the new guildmaster, others that a fair-haired elf was the leader, and still others would say that both would-be conspirators had died in the attempt and the true leadership of the Crows was being viciously fought for in an invisible, underground battle that could tear Antiva apart!

I LOLed Those damn unreliable Antivan reports...

@ejo: OH GOD breakup #3 just drove little pointy daggers into my heart. Poor guy is putting himself so out there and when his fears turn out to be founded and he is rejected....;_______; God, that would just mess with Zevran's head so badly.
what a horrible, horrible warden that would be! thanks for posting these, though! There really are gems of VA that I would never have gotten to (just because it feels like kicking puppies).

@Aro: looking good so far! I like the angle Zev is at~

[Aroihkin]

@ Jen -- depends on the pic, I didn't for the kiss shot since the pose was referenced, but I often do. I also tend to draw extra parts, like in this case Tannu's hands/arms and possibly one of Zev's hands, off to one side before dropping them into place. It's a weird way of 'drawing', and doesn't really work on paper (part of why I do all the lines in Paint to begin with), but it's what works for me in Paint with its lack of layers and such. XD.

I could do it on paper if I wanted to trace over my own stuff to fit the pieces together, I'm sure. But that would involve a lightbox and thus that would hurt. A lot. XD

@ PayRoo -- yeah, that was really sad. ;_;

This is the sequel or morning after scene to an extraordinary gift from ICevol  dealing with a very AU awakening storyline. Warning: sugary...
Exactly one hour.

Morning.

Keiran woke as the dim morning rays of sun crept their way across her bed. Stretching, she rolled carefully onto her side, aware of the stiffness in her limbs and her still sleeping lover. Biting her lower lip, she carefully lifted her hand and lightly traced the contours of his face to convince herself he was here. His arrival had been the most welcome surprise, the part of her that felt suffocated and numb in his absence had quickly re-awakened in his presence.

As her fingertips caressed across his brow down around to his cheek she had a sudden intense desire to see his striking amber eyes. Kieran remembered back to the first time she had really looked into them, the day she now knew she had truly fallen for him…

She had not heard him approach as he moved to sit down beside her at the fire, she was surprised by this unexpected move and felt her pulse quicken in kind. At first he had not said anything, only observed her careful stitching as she once again patched up her tattered leather mages robes.

She had continued in her task, unsure of what to say, wanting badly to start another conversation with him. In their previous discussion he had alluded to an interest in her and she had been beyond hopeful, but was still unsure of how to proceed with a man as confident as Zevran.

They sat silently for a few moments more before his hand moved to caress the length of her arm from elbow to fingertips. The heat his touch left on her skin forced the abrupt discontinuation of her task. Her heart raced and she felt her cheeks flush as he moved closer to her, willing herself to look up she met his gaze. She had felt it even then as she sat there silently with him, she knew she had already been trapped by that gaze, and for the first time since leaving the tower felt her spirit sing.

Staring into his eyes she moved to speak, but he had beaten her to it.

“Perhaps you should consider new armor, no?” he said with a slight wetting of his lips.

She had willed her voice to reply but found all words impossible as she stared into his eyes. As he moved even closer into her, his eyes never straying from their target as his lips gently met with hers. She had felt every sense heightened by his touch, their eyes reluctantly closing as the kiss deepened.

As their first kiss had ended, he kept his gaze focused only on her as his fingers blazed another path of searing heat across her jaw. Smiling at her, he returned to his original position next to her occupying himself with his daggers as her shaking hands returned to their original task.

Keiran was startled out of her wistful memory as Zevran pulled herquickly forward into him. Her body curved into his as she wrapped her free arm and leg around him. Looking up she was again rewarded with his heated gaze and in that instant re-lived every emotion from that first kiss so long ago.

Smiling he buried his face into her neck kissing and nibbling his way to her collar bone. She laughed joyfully as he pulled her on top of him tossing the sheet from the bed.

“Zevran” Keiran gasped in between lingering kisses.

“Si, amata?” he replied as his hands moved down the curve of her hips, his lips once again laying claim to her neck.

Smiling to herself she had thought of so much to say to him, to tell him, but all of those words had long been unnecessary between them.

“I am happy you are home.”

End.
