Sirena opened her eyes and looked around realizing she wasn’t with Cullen anymore; and she also noticed she was nice and warm since she was wrapped in blankets. The girl got out of bed then changed her clothes as well as her usual morning routine that she kept up even while she was in school. Since her hair was finally dry, she was able to pull the hair tie out of her hair and let her fake blonde curly locks fall down past her shoulders. It was great to see her hair come down in waves after brushing her mane.
“Oh good, you’re awake. We are going to head over to the war room and discuss our plans.” Evelyn said which caused Sirena to jump since she wasn’t expecting anyone to talk to her in the morning. In fact she was usually groggy in the early morning.
“What plans do we have exactly?” The American asked dragging herself out of the shack while grabbing Cullen’s cape that was usually is over his armor.
“You will find out.” Her cousin said as she made her way through Haven’s village to get to the Chantry. Trevelyan looked at her left hand every now and again to see the mark with a frown. She wasn’t used to the new title she had received so her cousin made her feel more normal like the time before the green glow appeared on her hand. After she walked up to the Chantry, she slowly made her way through the building. Sirena could hear one of the sisters teaching the kids their version of what she assumed was their Sunday school. It was too early to deal with that. Her steps became a lot faster to the war room, basically rushing to the door and opening it to get inside. Evelyn followed her inside at a slower pace with a raised brow. “You were fast.”
“And… I’m free!” The American said not realizing anyone was in until she heard laughter behind her causing her face to turn red from embarrassment. “They were there the whole time, weren’t they?” Trevelyan bit her lip and tried her hardest not to laugh while nodding her head.
“Yes, they have been there the whole time as you yelled out you were free. What are you free from anyway?” She asked curiously as she folded her arms over her chest.
“Uh well… From the… The uh… That… The maker stuff…” Sirena had fished for words while looking at the floor. “Well I think I made myself look stupid enough for one day.” She let out a little cough and walked over to the table while keeping her head down to avoid any eye contact that could be made. Her ears caught the sound of the Herald following behind her to stand in her usual spot.
“We heard you made plans, Lady Herald.” Josephine said as she looked at the noble woman with a raised brow. “What are they?”
“We are going to the Hinterlands. While we are out there, is there any way you can send messages to the nobles to get their support so we can get in contact with the Templars?”
“Of course, Herald.” Josephine bowed her head as she wrote something down in her clip board. “Why will you be going to the Hinterlands?”
“Something has come up and I was asked to check it out.” Evelyn answered with a straight face. The American looked at her cousin with a raised brow while remaining silent. ‘It must be about Blackwall then.’ She thought before her head snapped when she remembered the Herald saying “we”.
“What do you mean by “we”?” She asked Trevelyan.
“I meant you, me, Varric, Solas, and Cassandra.” The Herald listed all the people she planned on taking with her to the Hinterlands.
“This is the first I’ve heard of this plan.” The Seeker said beside Evelyn. Since she was the one who started the Inquisition in the first place, she was allowed to join the advisors in the war room. She also gave advice from time to time to help.
“I only found out about it yesterday.” Trevelyan admitted while scratching the back of her neck.
“How soon will we be going?” Cassandra asked hoping she had a day to prepare for their leave.
“Today! The sooner we leave the better right?” The Herald asked with a smile. “We do have enough time to get out there since we are up at a decent hour.”
“Wait a second; are there spiders out there?” Sirena asked not at all wanting to face the eight legged, six to twelve eyed, and big butt arachnids. She was scared of them and she also knew how big they could get in Thedas. Knowing herself, she would either scream and run away from them or go down in fetal position and cry. Just the thought of those nasty things made her shudder. Trevelyan looked at the American wondering if she shared her fear of spiders.
“There are some in caves.” She answered as her curiosity was piquing.
“We’ll be avoiding those, right?” The youngest person in the group asked.
“Well… I won’t make promises but we can try.”
“I’m not stepping foot into the caves where spiders dwell. Fuck that shit.” Sirena said letting her fear get known to everyone in the room. If she was able to, she would avoid those nasty things. She heard a chuckle that got covered up with a cough. ‘At least someone enjoys my misery.’ The American girl thought while glaring at the table now in silence.
“Fine, you don’t have to step foot into them, just come with us to the Hinterlands.” Evelyn said trying to persuade her little cousin.
“Actually Herald, she can’t. I had heard she had interest to learn duel wielding, so I had set up lessons for her.” Leliana put in while carefully watching Trevelyan’s reaction.
“Alright then.” Evelyn said calmly while pulling out a dagger and pressed her finger against the blade’s tip. “Have fun with your lessons and we will see you when you get back because we really need to get going.” She said nodding her head to Cassandra to follow and exiting the war room. Sirena heard the door shut which told her the Herald had left the building. It had remained quiet for a few minutes as everyone thought of what had happened until the twenty-three year old spoke up.
“So… I have an instructor now?” Josephine looked at Leliana then at the girl who she noticed actually looked like a noble to her total surprise.
“What did I miss?” She asked curiously in her thick accent as she looked over at Cullen as well wondering if he was as lost as she was. The Antivan frowned in disappointment when she realized they all knew what was going on.
“I offered Sirena here a chance to learn rogue skills since she had showed interest to our Commander awhile back ago.” The spymaster explained as she leaned against the table while looking at the young woman who was standing across from Cullen. Leliana may have told part of the truth but not all of it which most likely meant her offer was to be kept under wraps.
“I’m sure that wasn’t all she was showing interest in.” The Ambassador said with a smirk as she saw the Herald’s cousin’s face turn red. Leliana looked over at the girl smiling in amusement. It seemed she was too easy to tease.
“Anyway it is time for your first lesson. Commander, would you please escort the Lady Laurelet to her lesson?”
“Where would her lesson be located at?”
“It will be in your training grounds and if not there, then close to it.” Leliana answered his question. Cullen gave a nod of his head in understanding and walked around the table doing what the Spymaster had asked of him. He gave another nod to Sirena to tell her to follow him when he saw her look. After the door closed when the two left, the spymaster let out another smirk of amusement from what her friend had said. “Josie, I cannot believe you said that in front of them.”
“Shall we change our bet a little?” Josephine asked in a challenging way as she continued to smile while holding her clip board.
“Alright; I bet they will be a couple after all this is done.”
“And I bet they will become a couple right before the rift closes whenever that may be.” Leliana let out a little laugh and shook her head.
“You clearly don’t know Cullen that well then.”
“We will see.”
As the two women talked in the war room, Sirena and Cullen walked through the Chantry in silence. She could still feel the heat in her face from Josephine’s comment. Her hands rose up to her cheeks as she tried to hide her embarrassment. Cullen looked down at her with a smile on his lips.
“It seems we’re both victims of their jokes.” He said quietly for her ears only. They were also words meant to comfort her.
“I’m used to humiliating myself so I’m used to it by now.” She admitted to her love interest. In her world she somehow managed to diss herself all the time when she was with her friends and family.
“I’m sure there is more to it than that.” He said as he walked with her. His eyes glanced down at her to see a faraway look in her eyes before he heard her answer.
“Oh there is, but that is a discussion for another day.” She said with a smile on her face before making a run for it. As she ran through Haven’s village, she looked back to see Cullen running after her which made her laugh. After running out of the village, Sirena saw a man who looked like he was waiting for someone right outside the Commander’s training grounds. She walked up to him slowly and got a better look at him. The man was fairly good looking. Very fit yet slim. He had pale skin with tannish tint to it while his eyes were slightly slanted with an almond shape to them as well. She could see his eyes were a dark brown color but looked black from a far. His black hair hung a little past his shoulders in soft waves. What caught her attention the most was the gentle smile on his face. He definitely looked Korean to her which made her eyes light up. ‘Thank you Leliana’ she thought as a grin spread across on her face. The man looked over at her and smiled even more as he walked up to her. As soon as he was in front of her, he gave her a little bow.
“Annyonghi-haseyo! Nae ileum-eun Hui-Seon (Hello! My name is Hui Seon).” He introduced himself before he rose back up from his bow.
“Annyonghi-haseyo, jenun Sirena imnida (Hello, I am Sirena).” She gave him a quick bow back while showing her excitement. “Do you speak English?” The American asked curiously hoping they won’t have a language barrier though she wouldn’t care if there was one. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Cullen walking over towards the area where his soldiers were training without even glancing at her from what she could tell.
“Ah, yes, I can speak your language.” He replied with a little laugh. “I am your instructor; it is nice to meet you.” Hui-Seon said in his Asian accent which made her fan girl on the inside. “If you like we can get to know to know one another before we start your training to get a student and teacher relationship going.”
“Uh sure, that sounds great actually.” She gave him another bow to show her appreciation for his kindness.
Cullen had been standing next to his friend Rylen, watching over the recruits that kept coming from the Hinterlands. For the most part he remained quiet until he had to bark out orders to both the ex-Templars and those who were farmers before they joined the Inquisition forces. His friend Rylen on the other hand was watching Sirena and who ever she was talking to. The man looked like he was in his twenties but he couldn’t be sure. The way the two were smiling and talking was not settling well with him.
“Cullen, do you know that person talking to Lady Laurelet?” The Commander looked back and saw the two talking as well. He recognized him when he walked back to his army but otherwise didn’t know him.
“No, but I know Leliana hired someone to train her in duo wielding so might be her instructor.” Cullen explained to his friend as he looked over some of the reports that were now in his hand since they were delivered.
“Well from over here, it looks like they’re flirting.” Rylen said hoping his friend would take a closer look at the situation.
“I’m sure it’s nothing.” Cullen said dismissively while shaking his head at his friend.
“You say that now…” He mumbled as he watched the two walk back into Haven’s little village.
