  1. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Sofia didn’t think she’d ever heard Cauthrien sound so panicked. Not even when bellowing at her to run from the demon. She tried to sit up, to show she was not so badly hurt, but her muscles refused to obey. She needed another few minutes. She would not panic. Not yet. She heard a clatter, then...
  2. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Once A Grey Warden, Always A Grey Warden [Closed]

    Sofia had slightly mistimed her greeting and ‘James’ appeared to be attempting to swallow an entire meat pie as she was partway through her introduction. His eyes went wide, but fortunately he didn’t choke, and Sofia pretended not to notice as he took some time to finish off his mouthful before...
  3. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Cauthrien looked like a stunned deer. It wasn’t an expression Sofia had ever seen the other woman wear before, and she liked it; it was half-tempting to drop the facade and turn her ploy real. They were not entirely alone out here, there could always be one of the servants wandering past, but it...
  4. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    It was rare for non-mages to display any empathy towards magic wielders. Cauthrien, however, appeared to feel for the children. “I’d imagine that they are frightened at it all.” Sofia nodded. “For many, the sudden rejection by family and friends is far worse than the magic itself,” she offered...
  5. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Once A Grey Warden, Always A Grey Warden [Closed]

    Sofia had spent the morning embroiled in her favourite activity - teaching. While there were few mages amongst the Warden ranks, those who were there were proficient enough in healing themselves that it wasn’t necessary, but there were so many both in the Wardens themselves and the guards in the...
  6. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Cauthrien didn’t appear put out by Sofia’s bout of playfulness, although she did yelp slightly as the lightning sizzled her. She was as good a student as she was a teacher, and accepted the loss with grace. “Nicely done. I missed the build of magic until you’d already cast.” An easy mistake to...
  7. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    It wasn’t entirely wise for them to speak down here, but the rustling from their armour made enough noise in the utter stillness of the caverns that a murmur would make little difference. Sofia asked as much for a distraction from the pervading darkness and the shapes her mind was making out of...
  8. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Her words had cut Cauthrien. Sofia had intended it as a simple statement of fact; as with most things martial, Cauthrien had adapted quickly to the new weapon available to her and deployed it effectively. Instead, the slightly hurt expression on Cauthrien’s face – not to mention the sharpness...
  9. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    Even though the tunnel rang with the echoing death-squeals of the deepstalkers, Sofia was close enough to Cauthrien to hear the other woman’s breathing as she scythed a path through the enemy. There was exertion, but not overmuch - as in most of her observations of the woman, Cauthrien was...
  10. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    “That one felt stronger … louder.” Sofia nodded. Of course spells didn’t have volume - not before the accumulated magic was shaped into a specific school of energy - but she’d always felt there was a similarity between sonic waves and magic. Long before you heard the sound, the force could hit...
  11. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Cauthrien confirmed her readiness, but her eyes unfocused a little as Sofia lifted the pebbles. She’d be feeling that drawing of power. It was a distracting sensation, and one she’d have to get used to in the heat of battle, which was why Sofia didn’t wait long before sending the few small...
  12. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    The scratching noise that interrupted their conversation could have come from Sofia’s nightmares. Claws scraping against stone, magnified a hundred times by the walls of the tunnel, giving the sense that there were thousands of creatures getting ready to descend upon them. The first time she’d...
  13. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Cauthrien closed her eyes, absorbing the new sensations for the first time. “I - when you cast, it was like feeling a light breeze or hearing a soft chime. Now, it’s like standing next to a small stream running over rocks.” She examined the wisp. “That’s its link to the Fade, isn’t it? That’s...
  14. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    Cauthrien had also encountered broodmothers, which was comforting after a fashion. People confronting them for the first time had a tendency to vomit, Sofia herself included. She’d already seen quite a few horrors in her time as a Warden and as a chiurgeon, but certainly nothing left such a...
  15. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    She could have enjoyed the kiss for longer. In fact, if she had been minded towards it, Sofia could likely have distracted Cauthrien from taking the lyrium today altogether. After all, there were few people left in the compound, and while their fleeting moments of privacy had a thrill, Sofia was...
  16. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    Cauthrien accepted her tactics easily enough. “I figure it’ll do the same for anything down here with eyes. I’ll try to make sure I’m out front with my back to you when anything starts.” When, not if. They didn’t present the same temptation to darkspawn that two untainted women would, but the...

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Cauthrien looked up quickly, but Dragon was a little faster off the mark; he nuzzled at Sofia’s shoulder, and she was quick to reward him with one of the carrots intended for Gawain. Dragon could be almost sweet when he sensed food was available, but was also quick to let his disapproval be...
  18. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    Cauthrien pointedly suggested that Sofia should keep all necessary reserves of magic for herself. Sofia politely ignored her. They were going to be walking for a while; giving Cauthrien an extra shot of energy was beneficial to both of them, especially if an enemy got too close to Sofia...
  19. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Standing Calmly At The Crossroads, No Desire To Run [Closed]

    Sofia had seen off the riders an hour previously, ostensibly to carry out her usual checks that everybody had the medical supplies she personally required every Grey Warden to carry. She didn’t want anybody falling because they’d got separated from the mages and couldn’t patch themselves up. Of...
  20. Sofia di Castelbuono

    Situation Normal: All F***ed Up [Closed]

    Sofia generated enough light for them both to study the map - but just that. While the taint drew Wardens and darkspawn together in a fashion that made stealth difficult, there was no need to alert any other type of enemies to their presence either. Especially since it appeared that for the next...
