I'm Not Gonna Sugarcoat It

Tiberius’s agreement with the name Nadia made Lyric smile, taking in a dog might have seemed like a small thing, but to Lyric it was quite the opposite. In her mind how a person treated lesser creatures was more indicative of their true personality than how they treated other humans. Then she chuckled at his comment about bringing home two Orlesian ladies. Even though she hadn’t considered herself Orlesian for a very long time, it still amused her. Then she tipped her head at the well behaved comment.

Oh, I think she just realises she’s finally safe and with people who plan to care about her. Dogs were incredibly smart when they wanted to be and even though Nadia was suspicious of them at first, they had given her no reasons to fear them and had only put her best interest first. As they approached the farmland, Lyric looked out the window as Tiberius commented that he didn’t like what he was seeing up ahead.

Lyric had expected there could be trouble on the road, and although she wasn’t primarily a fighting mage, it wasn’t something she shied away from if the need arose, like with the mage rebellion. Even if her biggest injury during the rebellion had been when she was in the process of casting offensive magic and ended up falling ass over tits down an embankment and breaking her arm, but she definitely didn’t want Tiberius to hear that story, especially now as they were about to face darkspawn.

Lyric instructed Nadia to stay in the carriage, hoping the dog listened, the last thing she needed was worrying about the dog, and currently the dog was in no shape to fight anything. She quickly followed after Tiberius, looking ahead trying to count how many darkspawn there were, the numbers seemed manageable, not that she’d ever fought one before, but her biggest concern was getting to the darkspawn before they got inside the farmhouse.

She didn't hesitate, launching a barrage of ice-based spells towards the darkspawn, aiming to slow them down and provide some cover for Tiberius. It was a far cry from her usual healing magic, but dire situations called for dire measures.
