Flowers in Your Hair

The boy seemed nice enough, at least he sounded nice, not that Asha had enough life experience yet to be a good judge of character. Still, if he meant her harm he would have done just done it, and if he were spying on Auntie Lana's griffins, well what the fuck could she do about it. She smiled and shrugged as he talked about things, she was mostly paying attention, but there were lots of shiny thoughts flooding through her brain that she didn't quite catch every word.

Julian... Ju...li....an... Julian... I like it, a good strong name. I'm Asha'bellanar Mac Tir, but my friends and family just call me Asha, and if you recognise the surname, it's because my dad was Loghain Mac Tir, he's kinda infamous if you know the history of the Fifth Blight, not everyone is a fan of his. Still, he was my dad so I couldn't give two fucks that they don't like him. I only tell you this because sometimes when people from Ferelden hear my surname, they can get all bent out of shape. I'd take my mum's surname but she doesn't have one. Huh, I suppose I could just drop my surname, but ya know what, I loved my dad so fuck em, fuck em all. That was probably more information than Julian had wanted or expected, but then Asha could be quite chatty and wasn't known to have much of a filter, she just thought it and spoke it.
