He likes it.

[ He doesn't cry, anyway. Alistair sets Lucci down to sit on his stomach and squashes his cheeks affectionately between his palms. ]

You're allowed to get one inch taller than Zevran so we can tease him, but not more than that. One inch. Understand?

[ombranera]

[ True to form Lucci tries and fails to talk, babbling slurred words as his face is smushed. Zevran is fairly certain he's trying to say Alistair's name. ]

We shall have to take that as some kind of agreement.

I've a question, when you've the time.

I may have an answer, depending upon the question. What would you like to know?

[justice_is_blond]

How long Nate has, if you got any indication of that while you were in the future. I was informed that I'd kept him overlong, but I did not find out more. The telling was... done with the intent to hurt. I can't ask more questions of the source.

[ombranera]

I would not know, as I did not speak to him while I was...away.

[ In the future, somewhere, somewhen else. ]

[justice_is_blond]

I see. You didn't speak to me of it either, I take it?

[ombranera]

In...vague terms. I made the usual offer.

[justice_is_blond]

To... [He swallows, hard.] To ease his passing.

[There's a pause.]

So I can only truly assume I've four years.

[ombranera]

That would be safest, though I would do your most intensive of the works now. Leave things that might be handled from a distance for when things become more...difficult. For him.

I've already made my decision. I'll not do that to him, not refuse him an honorable death when honor is so important to him. I realize likely I thought I needed to serve longer, or better, or there was a task that was relying on me, it couldn't have been an easy choice to keep him around. But I won't do that this time around.

If I fail to cure the taint before he hears his Calling, I'm going with him.
