1. What was your Inquisitor’s first impression of their partner? What was their partner’s first impression of them?
Zev’s first impression of Bull was ‘holy fucking shit he’s big’. He’d seen Bull in action and he was more than a little interested in at least flirting. Bull was more than a little amused that some scrawny elf was the Herald of Andraste, and could probably already tell that Zev had Issues.
Zev’s first impression of Dorian was ‘holy fucking shit he’s good’. He was wary of the mage bit. And the Tevinter bit. And the best-friends-with-the-guy-whose-dad-enslaved-the-mages bit. But the suspicion wasn’t hatred, and he obvi warmed up to Dorian. I imagine Dorian’s first impression of Zev was some sort of disbelief that the person wielding the mark was some random dalish elf, and that he’d figured taller, sterner, and more gruff.
7. What is your Inquisitor’s favorite quality about their partner? Why?
Zev really loves how understanding and gentle Bull is. Bull is patient (to a point) and is an extremely caring individual. He works with Bull through issues and doesn’t tear him down or get snappy or angry. He helps Zev through a lot and he’s Zev’s rock. Zev really loves how passionate and devoted Dorian is. Dorian had plenty to work through too, but he cares so much, and is so fiercely loyal that it makes Zev dizzy in the best way. Both of them show him so much acceptance and he loves that about both of them.
8. What is your Inquisitor and their partner’s favorite way to spend time together?
Fuckin’. Lmao seriously but also Zev is a total cuddlebug so he loves just curling up next to them anywhere and everywhere. Being touched and held and kissed and everything makes him so happy.
1. Did Bull’s profession as a spy affect your Inquisitor’s relationship with him? How did they address it?
Zev was ‘okay’ with it, in that he figured the Qun qould be curious but sort of just… stay over on their side. Sometimes he was paranoid Bull was only getting close to him because the Qun had ordered it or something, and it made their start rocky because Zev would refused to open up to Bull about stuff. They talked it out, and Zev talked to Krem a lot and Leliana, and he eventually sort of let go of most of his fear. When the dreadnought sank, well, it let Zev open up more.
2. How did your Inquisitor deal with Dorian’s return to Tevinter? Did their relationship continue?
The relationship continues. He has the sending crystal paired with Bull’s. He didn’t deal with it well. Of course he supported Dorian outwardly, and he truly wanted Dorian to pursue it. But he was afraid for Dorian’s life, and upset about losing a piece of his heart, not getting to hold Dorian or be held by him whenever he wanted. Paired with the rest of Trespasser Zev sort of spiraled but he was terrified of guilting Dorian into staying with him and kept it quiet best he could, figured he’d die soon anyways. Eventually with his arm lost and dealing with that Zev begged Dorian to stay, at least a little longer. Eventually he healed enough that Dorian returned to Tevinter, and Bull helped him cope. They both helped each other cope. And having the villa helps.
