I take it back. I take it all back- you are not my brother, I do not love you at all, you sneaky little bastard.
[ He leans over on one arm to run a hand up Alistair's ribs, tickling him mericlessly to lighten the seriousness of his statement- and no his eyes are not damp. No he is not grinning and laughing with the joy of the hopeless given hope. He has a target.
He has a task.
He can keep this thing from being taken from him- that is more important to him than he'd ever expected. He can keep it.
After a moment's thought he swings a leg over Alistair's hips and renews the ticklish assault, up each side from hip to armpit and back again, swearing fondly in Antivan. How dare he terrify him like this, how dare he make Sevran DRINK so much, how dare he make him a miserable, moping shit for weeks while it wasn't something to mope over. This is JUSTICE.
And harmless. Completely harmless.
He slows in his assault, hands braced upon Alistair's shoulders, grinning. ]
Truly, Alistair- that knowledge was yours but for the asking.
