Cullen is fine in the field. He can set up a tent, build a fire, find water safe to drink, make something edible. But he hasn't traveled enough to get the knack of what's wise to bring.

These days it makes little difference, given his status: he helps to set up camp, but there are runners and adjutants to find and fetch things. And there are few enough of them, this time -- not the massed force of the Inquisition, but a patrol's worth of soldiers and scouts and accompanying support -- that in the evenings, Cullen finds himself... restless.

It's akin to the reason he doesn't frequent the Herald's Rest, but there's no office to hide in, and no paperwork to justify staying in the tent.

At least tomorrow he and Alistair will peel off to where Honnleath used to be, to spend the night and rejoin the rest again late the following day.

(This may also contribute to his fidgeting.)

As he does, Alistair steals the flask back for another sip.

Idly, he taps the thumb of his free hand against the ground.

"Aside from this?"

He wiggles the flask from side to side before handing it back. One corner of his mouth curls up.

"I had a few ideas."

He leans closer.

Serene: "I wasn't thinking mayhem so much as revenge."

That -- wasn't at all what Alistair expected.

His brow knits, the tiny smirk wiped from his face. "You didn't." (He sounds faintly bewildered.) "It was lovely. If you don't want to -- "

Gently, he brushes his fingertips over the hair near Cullen's temple.

Softer, "If you want to leave it at that, and just sleep, I'm fine with it."

His mouth quirks, despite himself.

"And what I want," he murmurs, "is for you to be comfortable. All right?"

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2017-02-13 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm a patient man." The quirk starts to approach a true smile. "I'm willing to wait as long as necessary. Years, even."

Alistair can respect the effort. He chuckles, low and fond.

"I was hungry," he insists. "Warden appetite. Can't be helped."

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2017-02-13 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course not." He cards his fingers through Cullen's hair again; cradles his cheek. "I accept the consequences of eating nearly everything in sight. If need be I'll catch another fish or two tomorrow."

"Can't let it go to waste." His smile grows at the sight of Cullen's. "Though I suppose if I dumped it all back in the forest, those worms would have quite a tale to tell. Daring feats, enormous monsters, narrow escapes from the jaws of death..."

"I'd hope that if something a thousand times my size plucked me off the ground, stuffed me in a sock, and left me there for hours, I'd get a little more out of it than a good story." He's started to laugh, a little. "But in lieu of giving all the bait a good meal, it'll have to do."
bringspeopletogether: ([warden] fond)

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2017-02-13 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
"True." Thoughtful. "Better that than being eaten by another monster a thousand times my size. Only that one swims."

Alistair opens his mouth. Visibly reconsiders what he's about to say.

"I promised I wouldn't invite more mayhem," he says, dutiful, "so I won't say anything more about man-eating eels in the lake."

"You're welcome." Warm.

He touches his lips to Cullen's forehead.

"Want to give sleeping a go?"
