randomly throw my doodles and run away

Alistair truly is so charming. He so clearly has a crush on the warden. He thinks he doesn't know how to flirt but he says the sweetest, silliest things. He'll say the smoothest line I've ever heard, then flusters and trips over his own words as he tries to backtrack, only making it cuter. If you ask him anything he resorts to humor but then he'll randomly say the most genuine, vulnerable things. He's so friendly with the warden, so desperate to have someone by his side who understands the wardens even if she was only there for a day, still so willing to laugh and joke in the face of everything that's happening to them. He carried around a rose all the way from Lothering because it was a piece of beauty in the darkness and then he told the Warden he thought of her the same way. Then he had to go stand in the corner because she flirted back and he didn't know how to handle it like he didn't just say the single most romantic thing I've heard.
