calling them “uninvited guests” would be putting it far too lightly. after rivera dispatches the tevinter slavers, she invites zevran into her home.

[Chapter 22: An Exercise in (Bad) Luck and Experience]

going back to the arl of denerim’s estate to rescue a woman; the familiarity of the situation does nothing to quell rivera’s nerves.

meeting loghain for the first time goes as well as you’d expect. zevran reminds rivera of an opportunity to distract herself.

two bust drawings of an elven grey warden from dragon age. one bust is facing the side but her head is turned towards the viewer, while the other has her back to the viewer as she looks over her shoulder. rivera tabris has short, dark brown/auburn hair, dark brown eyes, and is wearing the typical grey warden rogue armor.

A greyscale drawing. The individual has their back turned, looking back over their shoulder. They are dark-skinned with a soulpatch, a scar over their face, and a cross earring. They are wearing a garden apron, a black durag that drapes down to their mid-back, and a shirt. The shirt's back has obscured text on it, "F_rs Flora." On their right bicep is a bearded vulture with flames flaring from the neck and tail-feathers.
