[center][b]Zeynep[/b][/center] Zeynep decided to answer Raise's question first."I wasn't exactly exhiled, I ran away and rejected the Qun. Being saarebas is barely being better then being a prisoner," she said, her face forming into a disgusted look at the memories of her year as being a saarebas ",Having your tongue ripped out of your mouth even for a whisper, just because they think you might of been using magic, mouth tied shut only tight enough to allow you to at least eat and drink, and getting your horns taken off." Zeynep had been lucky with her horns though. She had made a deal with her arvaarad to allow her to keep her horns. "I bided my time until I was of an appropriate age and left, taking what money I could from my arvaarad and finding a ship out of Par Vollen," She continued ",Then I went through Rivain, Antiva, Navarra, and then stopped in Orlais. First thing I did was cut the strings out of my mouth and after that felt finally free of the Qun, besides the damn armor but I got rid of that as fast as I could once I could afford other clothing." Her hands subconsciously went to her mouth at the mention of the strings that had tied her mouth shut for so many years. It was hardly noticeable unless you were close but the scars were there to show where the string had been. How she had heard her voice for the first time after so many years. "Then well it was a tough few months, learning how to speak the tongue that most know rather then what I was use to was frustrating. Even after those months of learning the tongue, I barely could say much. Eventually I just left Orlais all together and went east and found myself in the city of chains, Kirkwall where I offered my talents as a mercenary, with certain qualifications and my fees. I continued to learn the language and finally with fees finally got to learn more of my magic by buying books from a underground trader who got his stuff from the dwarf that you see here." --- [center][b]Gavlan[/b][/center] Gavlan had taken his giant axe and had it lean against his chair as well as removing his helmet, there was no point in wearing it anyways at that point."Oh it's my time to tell my story," he said when Zeynep had finished ",Well I wouldn't say a surface dwarf is as rare as finding a Qunari who deals in magic outside of the Qun. I'm originally from Orzammar but decided to leave the underground world as well as the Deep Roads behind and travel a bit. I found myself eventually in Kirkwall and that's where I found her, like she said. Knew I was going to have a lot of trouble from her. Anyways hearing how she was a hired mercenary and having a job that required a bit of some aid, I summoned her. In exchange for her assistance I would give her one of the books I sneaked into the city without the prying eyes of the templars or the mages as well as teach her the language she needed to know since she is right about one thing in her story, she couldn't speak the language at all." "I can still throw you," Zeynep interrupted for a second though Gavlan merely ignored her. "From then on we were just partners in the business of Kirkwalls underground world. Mostly it was just smuggling items into the city that weren't allowed inside it or were restricted to only certain people while others got shafted," he finished ",That's my story as for yours well, interesting to hear Flemeth was willing to accept tutoring a qunari but I guess I shouldn't be surprise from the old tales she does what she does for her own gain."
