((OOC: Firstfall 12, 9:34, Elunara))
The Alienage of Kirkwall was smaller than Denerim’s but much the same. Alienages, they were the same everywhere. One depressing hovel was pressed against the next. A giant tree almost dominated the center. And then there were the smells. The stench of self-pity was one Zevran particularly abhorred. A city elf himself, Zevran never allowed his circumstances to stop his ambitions. He learned very young he had to take what he wanted and not depend on fate to provide. So many in the Alienages of Thedas allowed themselves to wallow in their misfortune rather than taking opportunity where they could.
An irony of ironies, that he found himself in the Kirkwall alienage seeking out one who felt quite the opposite. A small bit of coin provided to a fishmonger’s apprentice reaped rewards. Zevran received news the previous day that Elunara had arrived in Kirkwall. She had, indeed, followed after him as she said she would. She even wore boots upon her feet upon her arrival; a bit of news that most certainly brought a tickle of laughter to Zevran’s lips upon hearing.
Inquiries once in the alienage revealed she had found a room to let that evening and it was outside the building Elunara currently called home that Zevran waited. He leaned casually against the splintered wood of a building across from hers, his arms crossed about his chest.
If he had his way of things, which he most often did, he would whisk her away from such horrid conditions and to a sumptuous room by night’s end. The Blooming Rose had taken good care of Zevran since his arrival five days earlier. He would make sure they staff did the same for Elunara as well.
