You'll have to make a decision quickly. Either don't come home and meet me in Halamshiral, or come home and have a day or two before turning for Orlais. They've called an Exalted Council. Josephine, Lavellan, and I must speak for the Inquisition in front of Orlais, Ferelden, and Divine Victoria. Two of those parties appear to be hostile to our continued existence. I will leave it to you to contemplate which two.

Be safe, Alistair, and go with my love
.

Cullen doesn't bother signing it.

The library is silent. No one is in the rotunda -- Solas's rotunda, he thinks, even after all this time. There are always people in the yard, but many fewer than before.

(It's downright lonely, when Alistair travels. Cullen will never complain to him. Not after the last few years.)

"It wasn't always trebuchets," says Alistair peaceably. "Sometimes it was other tactic-y things."

He turns his head enough to kiss Cullen's hair.

Struggling not to laugh: "I love you, too."

He squeezes Cullen's hand. Then, more sincerely, Alistair adds, "I didn't mean to embarrass you."
bringspeopletogether: ([warden] funny you should say that)

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2018-01-24 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Alistair splutters a laugh.

"That is not how I meant it, Rutherford -- "

Alistair groans.

"I meant that seeing you deep in thought over complex math problems is incredibly endearing and kind of attractive," he says. "Not that I want to have illicit relations with a trebuchet."

"Is this where I remind you -- "

And his smile is crooked now.

"That I'll still love you no matter how much or how little you may do?"

He tips his head to the side with a soft hum.

"All right, lust then," he says, chuckling softly. "Or that simpler moment when you look at someone and realize, 'Oh no, they're quite cute.' Anyway, I could also argue that you were doing something at the time. You were thinking."

Alistair breathes out, eyes slipping closed.

"I suppose you could have been," he murmurs. "Were you?"
bringspeopletogether: ([warden] the dawn will come)

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2018-01-25 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"I -- " His breath hitches, faintly. "Knew it. Mm."

Right. Focus.

"When you're meditating you close your eyes. Very obvious."

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2018-01-25 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Alistair starts to chuckle again. "If we must."

He insinuates himself more thoroughly against Cullen.

Softer, "So long as you keep doing that."
bringspeopletogether: ([warden] look to the sky)

[personal profile] bringspeopletogether 2018-01-25 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
A sigh. "I know."

He turns his head enough to shoot a small, rueful smile Cullen's way.

"We'll have time later."

Considerably later, perhaps, depending on how badly things go. But still.

Alistair's smile grows at the kiss.

"You treat me so well," he murmurs, slouching lower so he can tuck his face against the crook of Cullen's neck.

Alistair hums again, contented, and closes his eyes.

That uncertain feeling at the pit of his gut subsides. Cullen's good work, as usual. There will be time to nudge that again later, too; all he has to do now is wait.
