so today i was minding my own goddamn business, tending the shop and watching the rain and shit when i remembered:
The Iron Bull, when he saw some complete rando for the first time in his life, when this kid was being cornered by literal army officers threatening him with weapons and violence and shit, when he had no connection to this guy and not much to gain and plenty to lose as far as he knew, saw this horseshit about to go down, and stepped in to stop it
his got a flail to the face for his trouble but you know what? you fucking know what?? the pain and the legal shit and the eye was a fair trade since he got Krem out of it! he got the better end of that deal!
how many people were just living their own lives when shit went down and then in comes Giant Fucking Qunari Man to fuck up the bullies and get the kid’s kitten out of the tree? how many of them joined the Chargers? how many of them didn’t? how many complete strangers did the Iron Bull help because he’s just that fucking nice!
