The Inquisition has been here before. They visited to ease the tensions between Clan Frandruil and the human village Kaladoun. As they left, peace had seemed to be reached. The Clan's Keeper, Shoshanna, has not kept up her part of the treaty. The Clan was meant to leave and give the village space, but it seems there's always a good reason to stay in place. The Clan's First, Janna, has put aside her pride to reach out to the Inquisition for help. As she has been regularly communicating with the Dalish liaison for the Inquisition, Cyril has agreed to put together a team and help the clan vacate.
While they are there they will break into two groups, one will help the Clan pack up and the other will go into the village and ease tensions there. Once the Clan is ready, all members of the Inquisition who came will reunite and help the Clan move to a new location and settle, to help them get back into the spirit of the nomadic lifestyle.
TRAVELING THERE
Cyril Ashara OTA
Most of his time is spent trying not to appear to fuss over Pel while still fussing over Pel or with Sam or Taas, but he can also easily be found either at the head of the group or tending to fires at the night. He seems almost cheerful, to a point, and is happy to have a conversation with anyone who approaches him.
Re: Cyril Ashara OTA
He takes point once and awhile, and at camp he takes first watch. Coming to second watch, he takes off and goes to find Cyril. "Hello there, friend. How close are we, so I can start keeping an eye out for the clan?"

"Do you know this clan dearly?" she asks softly as the fire crackles under his care. "Are they kin to you?"

He knows shit about pregnancies, but he doesn't want the elf to wear himself out before they reach their destination. He's fairly sure expecting women don't explode, though.

"How are you doing?" Leading a group can be... a lot of pressure. He's wondering how Cyril is taking it.

Samouel Gareth OTA
He does spend a lot of his time with Cyril and/or Taas, but as always Sam wanders around seeing if anyone needs anything and tending to any packing and chores that need to be done. There is also some time that he spends feeding Conan, and then chastising the nuggalope for trying to eat his shirt from time to time. When he isn't he is often enjoying a cup of tea by the fire.

"It has been a long time since I could spend time before a fire with comrades. Not since my days spreading my wealth across many lands." He smiled to himself before directing that smile to Sam. "And how are you faring, my friend?"

He was going soft without his bodyguard work, it seemed.

Galadriel OTA
There is always a surreal lightness to her steps but, as she treks alongside the party, there is a certain, tangible joy to her gait. If she were capable of it, she might be floating. It is a great salve, the open, unhindered sky and she relishes it.
Indeed, she is so delighted in the travel itself that she often slips into song. It is not a tradition the people of Thedas share, she expects, but singing while one walks is too ingrained in her to avoid. The songs she sings are sometimes mournful and sometimes upbeat, but are always in elvish--if she knew any in this common tongue, perhaps the others would sing along. For now, she contents herself by singing of days long passed and places far from these lands, and watches the slow passing of the scenery as they walk the freemarches.

He can't help it; he's drawn to music, and hers seems to calm his ever-present anxiety, at least for the moment. At one point he even hums along with her, though he doesn't seem to realize he's doing it.

He's missing out on her singing, which is a shame - but it seems to put everyone else in a good and relaxed mood, so the warrior is still enjoying it in his own way.
"You seem happy, ma'am."

It's a beautiful language, song and rhyme aside, and whenever he has occasion to be near her in the traveling train, he cocks his head to listen. It is perhaps not the most vigilant of stances, but between the scouts brought along, and his own sense of the Force around them, Obi-Wan trusts that they will be able to spot trouble before it arrives.
"It's a lovely language," He offers, seemingly more to the group at large than Galadriel in particular, but then he turns and smiles, "What does it mean?"

...I missed this when skimming through for tags, I'm so sorry.
Taashath | OTA
...yet nothing happens. Everything is nice and calm. It's almost surreal.
He's open and happy when they rest, however, happy to get to know the new people. After the mission in Orlais, he's happy to socialize outside of a prison wall.
no subject
"I haven't seen anything either."
He looked around at the land they were riding on. "It's nice isn't it. To ride in peace."

He can't blame the big guy for being cautious. It's pretty helpful, really.

Anders, OTA, announcing his alias
"I'll be going by Garrett Hughes here. The..." He glances down for a moment before resuming. "The usual won't go over well, likely. And I'd like to just help, rather than stir up anything. If someone feels they can't use an alias, don't use a name at all. I'll answer to healer for this errand, if needed."
no subject
"Garret Hughes." She repeated, voice still quiet. "I'll remember. Couldn't you use what you used when you first came to Skyhold?"

Beleth Ashara | OTA
That, combined with this being the second Dalish clan in a short period to be difficult to deal with, leaves Beleth in a sullen mood for most of the trip. She stays to herself, often going out scouting the area on her hart. She doesn't dissuade anyone from approaching her, however, when she is around--either riding her hart, resting, or at camp for the night, curled up close to the fire.
