Comments

[propheretic]

[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]

[This surprises him.]

I... [And now he doesn't know quite what to say.] Your decisions, Inquisitor. What were they?

[propheretic]

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]

And what did you do with those? [His smile is almost wolfish.]

[propheretic]

[That's a little eager. Dasha frowns.]

Due to the 'stuffed full of red lyrium' problem, we had to kill most of them.

[harillen]

[This pleases him.

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

And the Wardens?

[propheretic]

[He sighs.]

Given that they are our best defense against the darkspawn, I put them back to work. I know why you'd want the harshest punishment possible, but they were already in disarray. And -- also because of me -- leaderless.

[harillen]

[He lifts one sardonic brow.]

Well, no one can be perfect.

[propheretic]

[Oh, for fuck's sake.]

The Inquisition has repeatedly shown me how true that is.

[harillen]

[Piously:] Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting.

[propheretic]

[Too much, bro, just too much.]

Are you quoting Chantry scripture at me?

[harillen]

It's pretty enough, provided one doesn't linger too long on it. Are you not a believer, Herald?

[propheretic]

[Flatly.]

No.

[harillen]

[He laughs. The quiet, snorty one.]

That is wise.

[He almost speaks but reconsiders, passing a moment in silence.] And the Well?

[propheretic]

Morrigan was eager, so I let her drink from it. [That's not the only reason, but it sounds better than 'I didn't trust anything in that temple and I was not slurping down ancient mystery water with unknown effects'.]

[harillen]

Also wise. It is refreshing to see in one of the People. [His smile is faint but present.] I imagine you had my respect, in your own world.

[propheretic]

I thought I did. But then you disappeared.

[harillen]

[His surprise is delayed.] I would not leave the Inquisition without good cause.

[propheretic]

We defeated Corypheus, but you weren't there for the after party. We thought something had happened to you.

[His tone isn't petulant; just confused. Concerned. Maybe a little hurt.]

[harillen]

[The first doesn't surprise him, but the rest certainly catches him off guard. He actually shifts back at the words.]

I... The Inquisition has not yet confronted Corypheus, Inquisitor. [Someone likes using titles to create distance.] I cannot imagine why I would leave you, except in the most exceptional of situations.

[propheretic]

My Inquisition confronted him only a few days past. [He makes a gently irritated noise in his throat.] I can't imagine why you would, either. There's the rub, eh?

[harillen]

As I said, exceptional situations, Inquisitor. Perhaps my situation changes by the time Corypheus is defeated. As it stands, I see no reason to turn away from you. [Please, dissemble a bit more, Solas.] That is, if you will still have me after how I greeted you.

[propheretic]

[Yeah, PERHAPS IT DOES.

Dasha is inured to Solas's tendency to lash out and then sort-of kind-of backpedal. He shrugs.]

To me, you're the same person I've always known. You just don't know me as well as that person did.

[harillen]

Odd, that. To know someone so well when they don't know you at all. I look forward to getting to know you, Inquisitor. You are... refreshing. [And there's Solas with his backhanded compliments again. The way he uses them, it's like they were a national sport in Arlathan.]
