( arrows fly before leliana even has a moment to think about it. she doesn't recognise the place but she knows the sensation -- the feeling of being taken somewhere else, and the fear. it's almost like a dream, but something else makes it ring true like a bad memory.

the crocodiles are large and strange, but that's also a way of summing up the most recent part of leliana's life. or all of it. it makes her quick to react and at the first sign of teeth her bow is drawn, first arrow hitting its target the moment it moves.

not that it has much of an effect on the beast but it at least gives leliana a second to move before it does )

( leliana's in the speakeasy but not for any of the cures that some may have gone there for. she'd gone to look for someone, finding it a convenient place to meet and share information. at least that had been the case when she'd set the meeting up, yet despite how leliana feels she's still there. when information is on the line she needs to see it through

she's taken one of the few quiet spots that are there and coincidentally it's also in a more shadowed corner. that is just for standard leliana fare rather than to ease her headache. she has a drink at her table, though it sits untouched, and her gaze is continuously moving over any person in there, though she's careful not to look to the doors too quickly, not wishing to look as if she is waiting for someone )
