Cullen sets a brisk pace on their way back to Skyhold. He's been away long enough; he's ready to relieve Briony; he's ready to go about receiving full intelligence reports from Leliana instead of the truncated, heavily coded ones he receives in the field.

He is also ready to personally see to the laundering of his coat.

And Cullen is also ready to take at least half a day, and preferably more, to revel in solid walls and doors that lock.

As they ride through the sally port, Cullen glances over at Alistair. "I'll need to see Briony, and then I'll likely be called to the war room -- you're going to see Kieran?"

Alistair's smile -- doesn't dim, really, but it turns more thoughtful. He shifts his weight to one hand so he can card the other through Cullen's hair; settle his palm against Cullen's cheek.

"You don't have to shower me in big, flowery speeches all the time," he says, not much louder. "I'd never ask that. But I like hearing you say you love me. If that could...happen a little more, I suppose..."

The awkwardness seems to be catching.

(It's fine, he should have said; I don't mind. But he subsisted on scraps in the Basin. He doesn't want to keep saying it's fine.)

His smile steadies itself; warms.

"And I love you," he murmurs, before leaning down to kiss Cullen, gentle and heartfelt.

Alistair laughs, very softly.

"I'll allow it," he says. "I'll welcome it, in fact."

Alistair hums, sinking into the kiss. When it breaks: "I look forward to it, whenever it may arrive."

He snorts out a laugh.

"If you're so inclined, I won't object."

(Alistair totally expects the audience to consist of a random bird and one of the feral barn cats.)

"Really." Cheerful, and matching Cullen on innocence. "You might make me blush, ser, but I won't object."

Alistair groans, burying his face against Cullen as his shoulder shake with silent laughter.

(You brought this on yourself, Theirin.)

"I'm considering it," he says, muffled (and still laughing a little). "And I'm honored."

He lifts his head so he can meet Cullen's gaze.

"Truly."

His eyes widen fractionally.

"Not that I've ever had reason to question your devotion," he murmurs, and brushes a kiss over Cullen's cheek, "but now I definitely don't."

Alistair wrinkles his nose at the hair-ruffling, but it's all for show: he's smiling, contented, as he rests his head on Cullen's chest.

"At the risk of insulting Skyhold's resident wordsmith," he says, "I'd rather hear your words than any of his."

"Probably something about love being like a trebuchet filled with livestock."

Beat.

"...Don't ask me to continue that metaphor, I've no idea where I could possibly go with it."

Alistair cracks up.

Somewhere amidst the laughter, the words so romantic can just barely be heard.

"Indeed," manages Alistair, before lifting his head to kiss Cullen soundly.
