    Summary

    The Inquisitor talks just a little bit more, and Solas listens just a little bit better.

    When he first meets her, he does not like her.

    She is the perfect culmination of every mistake he’s ever made, quintessentially Dalish with Mythal’s vallaslin tracing her cheekbones, built on the narrow bird bones that are so common to the modern creatures that call themselves elven.

    Summary

    “Do you need a mirror?” he asks once Saar seems to be satisfied with the mixture. She shakes her head and wipes her fingers on the rim of the bowl, then hitches up the sleeves of her coat.

    "I could do this pattern in my sleep." She looks to him, a glint in her eyes.

    You wanna give it a try putting it on?" she asks, and abruptly Solas feels as though he’s back in Hakkon’s temple, choking on ice-filled air. It’s not the vallaslin of old, he knows it isn’t, it’s not even the vallaslin the Dalish wear, and yet…

    “I—”

    “What? Me?” The squeak originates from about waist height, and Solas realizes Saar isn’t actually looking at him but at Scout Harding, who has materialized next to him. Relief floods him. He narrowly avoids sagging with it, just steps aside so Harding can’t hide behind him. She shoots him a desperate look.

    “It’s only mildly poisonous,” he tells her.

    Summary

    Solas stops in front of the Herald’s door and knocks softly. It has been only a few minutes since they bid their goodbye, and Lavellan’s eyes widen in surprise when he opens the door and sees Solas there.
    And then he deflates, like all tension leaving his body, and a soft sigh, almost a whimper falls of his lips, relief in his eyes, when Solas asks,
    “Would you like to share your sleep with me, dah’len?”

    //

    Lavellan is touch starved and not used to sleeping in beds and sleeping alone, so he just doesn't sleep. It takes some time for Solas to notice

    Summary

    “When did your people first choose you as their leader?” he asks politely, a guest’s good manners to his host.

    Hawen smiles at him, his eyes crinkling. “It was the gods that chose me,” he says, his tone serene. “They gave me the gift of magic, and so set me on my path.”

    Solas is struck speechless, the words a punch. Magic is your birthright, he wants to say, not for anyone to give or take, and Can a man be truly free if he can’t even choose his own path? and The injustice of this world is vast enough to drown in.

    And then, hidden beneath it all, pulsing like a heartbeat: My fault. My fault.
