Little Girl Gone

While there was a part of Zevran that was still trying to figure out why the girl looked so familiar, he wasn’t expecting to be suddenly recognised by her. Though certainly not the first time he’d been recognised by someone by his deeds, and certainly wouldn’t be the last.

He grinned, it was always a boon to his ego when someone did, especially since he was quite proud of his work against the Crows. Though he was also proud of his work with the Red Jennies, but that work was far less known by most circles. He bowed slightly, still grinning ear to ear.

Ah, why yes, yes I am. Your father, well I do the best I can. It’s not entirely that I’m against assassins in general as a career choice of course, but the methods of the Crows. How can slavery truly be dead outside of Tevinter when the Crows are allowed to treat people like they do. It can be described as nothing less than slavery itself. Not that she needed to hear it, he imagined she was perfectly knowledgeable in the customs of the Crows.

When the conversation turned back to the girl’s father, he listened and nodded. Then his eyes brightened up as she mentioned The Royale. He knew that establishment all too well, and although he considered mentioning it was one of his favourite establishments in Antiva, another thought crossed his mind. He knew all too well who owned The Royale, and she’d mentioned, or at least started, to say the word father earlier. Suddenly he was putting two and two together and coming up with four. He grinned even bigger.

Why you must be. Now, you can’t be. Has it really been so long that you’re all grown up now? Though it would explain why you look so familiar. Last time I saw you, you barely reached your father’s knee. More questions flooded his brain, but the biggest thing that came to mind of all, was the fact that the last news he’d heard about the royal family, was that Frankie was dead, though not before having passed on the crown to one of his sons, but just the same. Zevran didn’t look at her with pity though, life was hard, something even princesses weren’t safe from. No, all that was going through his mind now, was how he could help.
