be king, they said. it would be GOOD, they said. he would be GOOD AT IT, they absolutely lied. if alistair ever saw the warden again, he might give them a nice punch. or a stern talking to. perhaps a glare. -- when he envisioned his life as a child, he thought of adventures and freedom. now? politics was not his forte and, to be quite honest, he can't even remember HOW he got talked into this.

and these were his thoughts as he stared at the parchment in front of him, the script blurred as his thousand yard stared almost burned a hole into his desk. it was too early for this. it was too LATE for this. why couldn't he go out and swing a bloody sword? the voice snapped his attention back into focus, hands moving to shuffle the papers as though that would somehow convince the other that he had been hard at work.

if a king didn't want to rule, what could he possibly do? ❝ well, you certainly sound well enough. as chatty as ever. ❞ which she liked, and she made sure to remark with a grin. being around king alistair was more demanding in terms of work, yes, but also a lot more fun. whereas anora barely needed any help at all but also didn't like to get too sidetracked. she was focused and impressive. rosalie admired her (mixed with a healthy dose of fear). now, with alistair she allowed herself certain informalities.

❝ i do actually bring good news! ❞ at least they were as far as she was concerned. ❝ well, not THOSE good news, but --- lord tegan sent word from redcliffe that he has arrived safe and sound and the consequences of that whole issue with the mages and the magisters seems to be minimal.❞ alistair had been down there himself when it happened but couldn't really stay for long. after traveling back to denerim and receiving word that the people in redcliffe were still scared (with good reason, given their history with magic going out of control) lord tegan decided to go in his stead and stay down there for a while. it was familiar to him, she supposed. ❝ and if you WANT pheasant for lunch, i can arrange that, you know? ❞ she chuckled.
