[Solas draws back a bit more, his eyes narrowing with distrust. Dasha speaks as if they should know each other, but:]

The only Lavellan I have ever met is Ellana. She spoke nothing of a Dasharathi. [Not that she spoke much at all about Clan Lavellan. For all Solas knows, Dasha could be one of Ellana's clansmen.

Granted, that's enough to put him even more on edge.]

[He shakes his head, 'no' --]

I don't recall anyone --

[He stops. This is something strange. He's used to something strange; after his time in the Inquisition, he can readily accept almost any inexplicable event.

It's a little tougher when it comes to friends--or a person he thought of as a friend--acting like they've never met, though.

He clears his throat.]


You're not the one I knew, are you?

harillen: (027)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-21 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Solas, on the other hand, isn't as quick on the uptake.]

The one you knew?

[But that's all irrelevant.] How did you come by that magic? [Not that he regards Dasha with suspicion.]
propheretic: (you are the one who must go on)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-21 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lifts his left hand; wiggles his fingers.]

It's a long story, and you've already heard it. Just not with me, it seems.
harillen: (061)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He's so unimpressed.] You are not the Inquisitor and that magic is not meant for you.
propheretic: (i had been dressed in a coat of armor)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Everyone Dasha met during the Inquisition had their quirks, and of those people, Solas was among the quirkiest. He was suspicious; defensive; quick to judge.

But this just isn't nice.

Dasha presses two fingers to his temple.]


Well, you're not wrong on the second count.
harillen: (045)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
No, I am not.

[He recognizes, however, that the Anchor must be borne by the Inquisitor. Therefor, the man before him, familiar or no, must be the Inquisitor.]

Your hand. [A not so deliberate pause.] Inquisitor. If you would. [He extends his own.]
propheretic: (you feel entitled to a sense of control)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not immediately inclined to obey. Perhaps this wasn't the Solas he knew; the man who was he friend. But he was clearly part of some Inquisition, which meant he still had a lot to explain.

Dasha offers his hand, his lips thin.]


harillen: (050)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes Dasha's hand, holding it loosely in his own. With light, curious fingers, he probes the Anchor. There is, of course, nothing amiss to be found. No foul play. No strangeness.

Releasing Dasha's hand, he steps back, clasping both of his behind his back.]


Inquisitor. [He says it with much reluctance but also a small measure of relief.] What a curious situation we've found ourselves in.
propheretic: (Default)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Solas's tone takes Dasha back to the earliest days of the Inquisition, when Dasha had to fight for every bit of consideration from everyone around him. Particularly Solas.]

Oh, yes. Entirely unimaginable. Just like everything else I've seen in the past few months.

[He sighs.]

Can I ask you something?
harillen: (001)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Dasha knows the way to the cranky old man's heart. At the question, Solas's ears flick forward with interest.]

Of course. I will do my best to answer.
propheretic: (but you'll never get anywhere)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
What was the last thing you said to -- to the person you knew as the Inquisitor?
harillen: (007)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
That her actions were shortsighted and lacked depth of thought.
propheretic: (there is no turning back)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
And what actions were those?
harillen: (062)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes a deep breath, as if that will steady him.]

She sacrificed the mages to the templars, allowing the latter to remain an order, unchecked. Instead of recognizing the danger presented by the Wardens of Orlais, she let them stay, let them aide the Inquisition. [His lips curl in a sneer.] She is petty, vindictive, acting without forethought or any consideration. Her motives are selfish, and her actions benefit no one but her.
propheretic: (you are the one who must go on)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [gently.] I don't have much in common with her, I don't think.
harillen: (017)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[This catches him off guard.

Then, as though it's a revelation:]
There is no reason you would be like her.
propheretic: (who are you really?)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I can't comment on my own personality, of course. But most of those decisions don't sound like the ones I made. And -- more importantly -- that wasn't the last thing you said to me.
harillen: (038)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
And what was that?

[He's smart enough to be wary.]
propheretic: (i will sail those thousand seas)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Unclench, Solas. Dasha mutters; he had a lot of steam before, but now he's starting to feel a bit awkward.]

Well -- you, or, the you that I knew ... we were friends, that's all.
harillen: (068)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[This surprises him.]

I... [And now he doesn't know quite what to say.] Your decisions, Inquisitor. What were they?
propheretic: (i don't need you to save me)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I recruited the rebel mages as full allies, for one thing. I had little to do with the templars, aside from the ones stuffed full of red lyrium.
harillen: (049)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
And what did you do with those? [His smile is almost wolfish.]
propheretic: (if you want to get out of here)

[personal profile] propheretic 2015-02-22 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a little eager. Dasha frowns.]

Due to the 'stuffed full of red lyrium' problem, we had to kill most of them.
harillen: (023)

[personal profile] harillen 2015-02-22 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[This pleases him.

Probably more than is strictly normal. Or socially acceptable.]


And the Wardens?
