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's not quite done." Cautioning. "When we leave Skyhold and aren't followed -- "
no subject
"Almost done, then," he corrects himself, taking Cullen's face in both hands. "Not much longer."
no subject
"We can have whatever we can't carry sent to Denerim. Until we have a place."
no subject
He's laughing again, beaming bright.
"We really could start building our mabari pack if we wanted."
no subject
(But still smiling.)
"Have to have a place to put them, don't we."
no subject
Alistair leans in to kiss Cullen again.
Softer, "Our own place. As many windows as we can afford. Space out back for the dogs. It could really happen."

"So... the Fallow Mire is right out, then. That's what you're saying."

Drier, but still amused: "That's a little too far out in the middle of nowhere for me, I expect."

"Oh?" Briefly, he hops on one foot as he works at his own boots. "What's that, then?"
no subject
"However are we going to manage to get a proper hole in the ceiling?"
no subject
He succeeds in yanking off his boots and chucks them aside.
"Or throwing heavy rocks at the ceiling. Or getting an even heavier rock, handing it to a dragon, and letting it drop it on the house once we're both clear."
no subject
"That would preclude," he says, "getting a cover for when it rains, Theirin. A problem."
no subject
He ambles closer, eyeing Cullen's bare chest with interest.
"Could always do a trap door like the one we've got at Skyhold. If not, just tame the dragon so it'll sit on the roof and shield us with its wings."
no subject
(Smirking.)
"That exposes us to dragon farts, Theirin."
no subject
"Cullen." Very seriously, as he brushes a fingertip along Cullen's collarbone. "Are you doubting my dragon-taming and training abilities?"
no subject
He merely arches an eyebrow.
"I count a Pentaghast among my closest friends, Alistair. You're good. But you're no Cassandra."
