Now you've made him all smug. Well, you can watch him while I gather things. If he rolls in something pungent, it's on your head.

[Inessa stands, giving her mabari a look as she's already had to chase him down and rub it out of him earlier. Someone else can take over this time.]

[in_death_sacrifice]

Now there's a threat if I ever heard one... But you needn't worry, I'll have everything under control... we'll be fine, won't we, Garahel?

[Though Kain probably should be careful lest something unpleasant happen. Mabaris just have minds of their own when they want to do something they shouldn't.]

[circleprodigy]

[Garahel pants happily, just pawing at Kain for more attention. As long as the pettings keep coming, he'll likely refrain from being too adventurous. So his glance back to Inessa is completely innocent as she heads back inside. It won't take her too long, though she does take the opportunity to slip back into armor. One can never be too careful, even in Inquisition-held territory. Since it's his birthday, she'll take care to pack food and drink that she knows he prefers, nothing fancy but still wanting to make the day a little more special than otherwise. Only when she's double and triple-checked everything does she return to the porch to check on them.]

[Kain commences with the pettings, figuring he'll be as ready as ever to head out, so little preparations are needed. He'd already gotten himself ready for the usual round of training, so he's as ready as he needs to be. After a while, he invites Garahel to play a game of fetch, grabbing a stick and tossing it for the mabari to catch. They're totally in the midst of a hardcore challenge when she returns.]

You'll want to go even farther for this one!! Get ready... ready... now!

[He tosses the stick with as much strength as he has, ready to see Garahel spring into action.]

[circleprodigy]

[And Garahel bolts away, perhaps surprisingly fast for dog of his size and bulk. Inessa smirks as she joins Kain, observing her canine companion's enthusiasm.]

A good start, though we have quite a way to go before he wears himself out.

[Kain watches Garahel run, pleased at his persistence and swiftness. This is why he's great to have around in battle... and this is totally just as much training as it is playing, really. Yep. Kain nods agreement with Inessa.]

I figured I ought to warm him up before we head out... and I'm ready to leave if you are.

[He's so looking forward to getting out and exploring a little more, hunting a little... and all in the company of two of his favorite individuals in Skyhold.]

[circleprodigy]

I'm ready. Garahel! Come along, now.

[She'll wait for him to catch up, then they can depart and leave Skyhold behind for a while. They can't do much for Kain's birthday, but at least they can help him get away from it all for a bit.]

[in_death_sacrifice]

We'll play more on the road, boy... there may even be some bears for us to take down together, I'm sure you'll like that.

[No matter where they end up, it's bound to be a fun excursion. He'd not realized just how much he's needed something like this, a low-stress, pressure-free adventure. He can't remember the last time he's gotten to do something like this. He looks toward Inessa.]

Let's go. And... thank you, Ness. It means a lot that you remembered.

[circleprodigy]

[Smiling upon hearing that nickname, Inessa gives his arm a gentle squeeze.]

You're welcome, Kain. And yes, let us be off.
