Freedom is a state

Cullen was still very confused about Dorian’s invitation. Although they’ve had their share of small talk, the Commander never noticed any particular interest of the mage on him. The invitation was probably just casual, nothing much, yet Cullen was feeling uneasy. Nervous. He took a deep breath and marched out of his office, where he had spent his night working (as usual), feeling like he was going to a battle.  Cullen walked upstairs until find a very relaxed Dorian, sitting with one cup on his hand. The Commander stopped in front of him and, trying not to look so nervous and took a sit in front of the mage, trying to be as graceful as he could, given the tight space. He failed almost miserably, though. Rubbing the back of his neck, Cullen asked: “Good morning, Dorian. How are you?” 

"Ah commander so good to see you."  he smiled as the man entered into view.  He didn’t comment on the soldiers lack of grace.  It was not really needed when it came to just tea.  "I am doing well.  It has been some time since we sat in the court yard to play that game of yours.  I figured it was time to catch up."  he poured the other mans tea and added cream and a bit of sugar.  "I have several different breakfast pastries.  I wasn’t sure which you would like."  

Cullen arched an eyebrow upon seeing Dorian's tea preparation. It was quite fancy. The Commander would usually pour himself blacktea and drink it plain. No cream, no sugar. "I am doing quite well too, Dorian. Yes, we have been... in a hurry. So..." He rubbed the back of his neck. "I was unaware to the fact that you enjoyed chess this much." Despite still being nervous, he managed to smile a little. "Pastries?" Cullen looked around. "I guess I shouldn't ask you if you are allowed to eat here." Cullen let escape an almost inaudible laugh. He took a sip of his tea, which taste surprisingly good. Had he knew it before...
