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.)

"No." Laughing outright now. "I take that one back. You still feel cold."

More 'light breeze' cold than 'ice cube' cold by now, but still.

"I think," he says, "that sounds like an excellent idea."

Alistair finally draws back, but only so he can take Cullen's hand.

He chuckles. "Once we've gotten you warmed up, we can move it firmly into 'best,' I think."

Whatever Cullen needs to do to clear his head -- even if it's jumping in a freezing-cold lake for five minutes -- Alistair approves.

"Hugging you isn't quite like hugging an icicle any longer," Alistair allows.

He tugs Cullen into the tent.

"Like hugging one of Skyhold's walls, perhaps."

Alistair laughs.

"Strong, quiet, and good at protecting people, I'd say," he corrects as he flops alongside.

"Until it gets some sunlight."

He drapes an arm across Cullen's chest.

"Exactly." He grins, and only wrinkles his nose a little at the hair-ruffling. "See? A flawless metaphor."

Alistair kisses Cullen's cheek.

"You've much better hair than a stone wall, though."

"You're much softer than a wall?"

He punctuates that with a gentle squeeze.

Alistair hums, considering his options.






"Climbing you is much more fun than climbing a wall."

:D?

Victory!

Alistair beams, slips his hand to the back of Cullen's neck, and draws him into a kiss.

A muffled yelp. Alistair pulls back, laughing.

"Give me those a moment," he says, reaching behind himself to grab Cullen's hands.

"Yes, and I could argue -- "

With minimal contorting, he brings Cullen's hands in front of him, folds them between his own.

" -- that, being the ray of sunshine in your life that I am, it's my sworn duty to warm the wall."
