action (the triumphant return of midnight talks with zevran and alistair)
Date: 2016-10-06 02:16 am (UTC)Zev? Wouldn't Mia like to come stay with you?
[ It's not about wildlife, at least. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-11 07:25 pm (UTC)OMG YAY
Date: 2016-10-11 07:25 pm (UTC)And Alistair speaks.
But of Course. ]
I have never thought to ask. This is a house of Wardens and Assassins and- normally- no place for a lady. But she is no Lady, my Mia. She is a Lioness...and she needs to be close to her family. Cullen worries her so.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-11 08:05 pm (UTC)[ Alistair makes a grumbly noise that doesn't mean anything, or maybe means something so complicated--I suppose it makes sense for her to worry about her brother but I don't care for him myself, especially not as much as I care for you, so I can't approve of her being up there for his sake instead of down here for yours, but, also, do not really blame her and do not want to argue--that it's just easier if we say it doesn't mean anything. ]
You're serious about her, though, aren't you? When-- [ if, but shh ] --this is all over, you'll keep on?
no subject
Date: 2016-10-11 08:43 pm (UTC)[ Well. If he must put words to it. If he must explain how he thinks forward in so much that he doesn't, he hasn't had to, it's not his way. Assassins plan things day to day. Anyone else he'd offer a line but this? This is his brother. ]
Honestly have not thought that far ahead. If she would have me; if she would have us? Yes. I think.

Date: 2016-10-12 04:55 am (UTC)You are such a child. When will you and Sabine get your nonsense finished so I might mock you over your sentiments, mm?
no subject
Date: 2016-10-12 05:17 am (UTC)But-- ]
I don't know what you're talking about. [ Airily. But he's a bad liar. ] We're talking about Mia. And how if she does want to come down, you can't say no because of me.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-12 05:23 am (UTC)[ Mia will...either adjust or make certain he keeps to his side if he wishes to crawl in. Explaining the nuances of their relationship will be difficult if only because he doesn't know...how to describe it. ]
We might all fit on just as well- or you would have room at the foot of the bed.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-12 05:39 am (UTC)[ Is Zevran also serious? He can't tell. It isn't entirely outside the realm of possibility for Alistair to sleep on their feet like a mabari. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-10-12 05:44 am (UTC)[ He stills a moment as Lucci fusses, curling deeper against his chest. ]
I am past the days of having wild orgies, this bed? Is for sleeping.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-12 06:20 am (UTC)[ He is no longer serious. Was no longer serious; he is already switching back to his serious voice. ]
She could be around more than me. For Lucci.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-14 02:53 am (UTC)[ He snorts a soft laugh, shifting to tuck his cheek against Alistair's shoulder. ] He needs his uncle as much as he needs her.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-14 04:36 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2016-10-14 05:06 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2016-10-14 02:25 pm (UTC)[ His tone is just as defensive as if Zevran had called him a liar or a thief, but it's followed shortly by a relenting noise and an arm hooked up around him. He doesn't want to talk about his stupid feelings. ]
What do you get when you cross a rabbit and a frog?
no subject
Date: 2016-10-16 03:05 am (UTC)THE THING
Date: 2016-10-20 05:11 am (UTC)He's actually a little dressed up for the occasion, no doubt having wanted to make a good impression for their first time actually having a real conversation since... well, since he walked out.
THE THING IN THE PLACE
Date: 2016-10-20 05:26 am (UTC)Well.
There is some hope for him yet. "You are looking well."
Re: THE THING IN THE PLACE
Date: 2016-10-20 05:47 am (UTC)"I just, um. I wanted to..." He trails off, all of his rehearsed words flying out of his brain the moment he starts to use them. "...to um... make things right."

Date: 2016-10-20 06:55 am (UTC)"...it didn't fail," he protests nonetheless, "... I did." He doesn't necessarily regret standing firm on his terms, but the memory of that night sends a shudder through him regardless. It's true, he hasn't fallen apart. And, more or less, he's done it on his own. But some old habits die hard, such as... well, having his personality.
"Thank you," he says again, smiling a little nonetheless, beginning to lose confidence in how to proceed. Then he looks down, with a nod to nothing in particular.
"I just... I shouldn't have left the way I did. You were trying. And you didn't have to."
no subject
Date: 2016-10-20 06:59 am (UTC)Which- it hasn't. Hurrah for Cade!
"To be perfectly frank- you are the first person to realize I don't care about a great deal of what goes on in Skyhold. No fool you- but I considered it some manner of preemptive damage control. It is no longer needed which is- to your benefit, I think. More than looking well- you are well. It's...good too see." Alistair cares. That is enough to hold his interest.
no subject
Date: 2016-10-20 07:05 am (UTC)Or at least, he would if he didn't feel so hideously behind and below everyone else. But that's not something one solves overnight.
"Well I--..." he begins, and halts as usual, clearly unsure of how to proceed. His face reddens despite how well he composes himself otherwise, and he takes on a vaguely frustrated expression, the sort that appears only when he's fully aware of how impossibly awkward he's being.
"...I'm not sure it's. Not." He chews the inside of his cheek, resisting the urge to bolt. "I don't know. Never mind."
no subject
Date: 2016-10-20 07:12 am (UTC)It's not the voice in which he gives orders, but it is a suggestion. "I do not judge. You know this. I have to care to judge."
There's something...liberating in admitting that. "Why do you think you might need another round with the lash after all this time?"
