None. Of the victory ravishments. He himself had seen it coming but to know that Dorian and The Bull are working on being a little more exclusive, on putting one another first? That eases something in him on their behalf. It is a strange feeling and one he does not quite know if he enjoys or not- but apparently the offer to join them now and again will be extended and for him? That is more than enough. He is content with their friendship-
Which is something he has not felt quite so contented with since Alistair, honestly. He certainly did not expect it to happen again and yet- Sera whom takes after him, whom he minds like a younger sister, Cole with his questions and his eyes and is newfound humanity, Varric with his stories, Blackwall with his lie that is not as terrible as it could be working for redemption, even Cassandra. Vivienne is...useful and they are civil. As far as Solas is aware they are terribly great friends and Zevran hangs upon his every word.
It is an easy act to play. He has done so for most of his life.
But to have all this, the fort, the army, the influence... "Yes."
Without hesitation. "The first Inquisition, as I have been told, knew when to put their swords away. Which is bullshit seeing as they became the Seekers and the Templars and the Chantry. So it could very well continue without me but I more than most understand the value of quitting while one is ahead. Save the world, move to Rivain."
He reaches out without thinking, brushing crumbs from Alistair's cheek. "Where you will have a dog and all the little bottles of hair oil to fiddle with your terrible hair as much as you like."
