Hey. I'm Meraad. First round's on you, yeah? ;)
Lord of Fortune, former sellsword.
Warrior, probably taller and stronger than you.
Qunari, not Qun.
Rivaini in every way that matters.

Had to replace the haft a couple of times but the blade hasn't let me down yet."
Looking from the tiny knife in Revna's hand to the lack of visible weapons at her hips or on her back, Meraad raises a curious eyebrow as she meets her eyes. "You don't carry a weapon. I take it you're a mage, then?"

tossing them one at a time up to the waiting flock.
"Oh, thanks." Grinning, she tilts the weapon to catch the light. Its curved edge of burnished steel gleams, the sunlight filtering between the leaves setting the inlaid gemstones shining. "I found it in a dragon's hoard years ago.

Meraad watches the graceful movement of the elf's hands as she cuts the peach, laughing as the birds descend to fight over the treat. "There's enough for all of you!" Still chuckling, she turns her axe onto its side on her lap and uses the edge to slice off small pieces like Revna demonstrated,

with a smile of her own. "Mind showing me how small? I've, uh, not done this before. Don't want to put them off by doing it wrong."
She's fed birds before, of course, but this is different from throwing fish to the gulls... and she'd much rather not embarrass herself in front of her new friend.

The little knife in Revna's hand looks like a toothpick in comparison, but Meraad suspects she knows how to use it. She certainly hopes so, if incidents like what happened earlier are a common occurrence.
Carefully, she cuts the peach in two on the axe's edge and holds one half out toward Revna

and chattering of the birds drowns out the last faint remnants of market noise.
"Small pieces. Okay." She sets the peaches down on the bench between them, all except for one, and glances down at the axe resting at her hip, aware that it probably isn't best suited to a delicate task like this.

Meraad smiles, closing the gate softly behind them both. She's never heard her name spoken with a Nevarran accent before, but she likes the sound of it.
The stone is cool as they sit, a pleasant contrast with the warmth already rising in the morning air. Above them, the rustling of the willow

She grins brightly. "Good to meet you, Revna. I'm Meraad."
She tucks the stray peach back into the crook of her arm as they reach the wrought-iron gate, holding it open for Revna to pass through. "After you."

At least *someone* here doesn't seem to be terrified of her.
The elf's pretty smile catches her somewhat off-guard and she returns it, then realises with a jolt that she'd completely forgotten to introduce herself. "Ah, sorry. Got ahead of myself, huh?"

There are more wary looks as the two of them pass through the crowd, but she ignores them. Apparently her bright armour and cheerful disposition aren't enough to reassure the locals she isn't another Antaam footsoldier.
Stealing a glance down at her companion, she smiles to herself.

Meraad smiles, giving her a moment to gather herself. After what just happened, no wonder the woman is feeling a little skittish. "You're alright. No need to apologise."
She follows the elf's lead, idly tossing one of the bruised peaches up and catching it again in her free hand as they walk.

She's not about to pass up an opportunity to make a friend in this new, not-entirely-welcoming city.
She shrugs with an easy grin, though it softens at the other woman's clearly anxious posture. "If you'd rather I help with the carrying and then leave you to it, I won't be offended. Promise."

Meraad follows her gaze, nodding with a smile at the sight of a few birds flitting among the clump of small trees. "More important than feeding the birds with a friendly stranger? Hardly."
A stranger who happens to be the first person not to react to Meraad's presence with fear or disdain.

"Oh, I've definitely seen worse." She grins, raising her eyebrows in surprise at his offer. People aren't always so quick to offer such manners to a stranger, and to a heavily armed qunari at that. "Sure, why not! I bet you've got some interesting stories to tell after so long on the road."

She smiles in approval at the firm handshake. "Good to meet you, Nazaril. And yeah, docked just this morning. Captain's got some business further inland so for now... here I am."
She shrugs, grinning. "I can think of worse places to kill time. Although I haven't tasted the ale yet. Could be shite."
