As they spoke, Tomas considered pressing Julian on his love life, but he figured he'd let Julian off the hook for once. Though it did bug him mildly that Julian knew so much about his, but that he didn't know that much about Julian's. Tomas sort of nodded as Julian said he was going to scout on ahead, so far the trip was going well health wise, the potions were definitely doing their jobs.
Tomas had never seen a darkspawn in real life, only pictures in history books, but seeing them in person was utterly terrifying, and smelled just like he imagined they'd smell, like something rotten and nasty that had come up out of the bowels of the underground. As Julian passed him the weapon he shrugged slightly, his focus on the sounds the darkspawn were making as they got closer. It wasn't like he had zero training, after all he hadn't been diagnosed with MS until he was like twelve years old and since Crows train people as children, he'd held a dagger before that and been given some basic training. The real problem was his condition, fortunately at the moment he'd recently taken his potions so his symptoms were mild. Still, what little training he'd gotten as a kid, definitely hadn't prepared him for something like darkspawn.

Just be careful OK, you don't want to get their blood in any open wounds, last thing dad needs is for the heir to end up having to join the Grey Wardens, assuming we could even get you to one in time, and yea yea I know, same goes for me.Fuck, fuck, fuckety fuck. Tomas let Julian take the lead and did his best to have Julian's back so that he didn't get flanked. With the number of darkspawn he could see they might have been all set had Tomas been a strong fighter, but he wasn't so, things were going to get messy.
