Dorian: Solas, the next time we attend a formal event, for the love of Andraste, please let me pick your outfit.

Solas: Why?

Dorain: You've obviously spent too much time frolicking with spirits and have forgotten how to put together a decent ensemble. That horrible hat you wore at the Winter Palace? Vishante kaffas, I shudder just remebering it. (Quietly) Was it to hide the baldness? If so, I'm sure we could find a hairgrowth spell to help with that.

Solas: I shave my head, Dorian.

Dorian: Really?! You mean you choose to look like that on purpose?!

Solas: This conversation is finished.

yet, even with knowing he shouldn’t put his neck on the line to jeopardize anything ( richard was even going to make him his heir ), he still decided to run off at random times . he still decided to act like a child when quite obviously he was soon no longer going to be one .

❝ just promise me he won’t find out from you.  ❞   no doubt that richard would no doubt find out about this ( eventually ) , but hopefully not from dorian . after-all , nick should have been studying or trying to work on the latest spell he was supposed to have mastered months ago , but alas... he was not.    ❝ that’s the last thing i need. ❞

1.  How did you get into Dragon Age?

i was super into character creator games for a hot minute, & when i was looking up some i found inquisition.

29. What are your feelings on the Chantry?

miss me with that anti-mage shit,

30. What are your feelings on the Circle?

i think they’re good in theory? a school for mages to safely learn magic? great. the execution though? horrible. just throw the whole templar order out.

33. Favorite DA character overall?

DA questions meme (ofc I’m gonna answer all three)

1. My wife my life (@arallyingcry) would always talk about DA, so I knew of it but didn’t know anything about it or the characters. Then I got gifted DA:O Ultimate Edition for my birthday some years ago and the rest, as they say, is history~ 

 2. I have played all three! DA:O is by far my favourite. It has that near perfect mix of atmosphere, soundtrack, and story that made me fall in love with the series in the first place.

“mother told me about your kind. TEVINTER, i mean. you don’t seem too bad.”

The halls of Skyhold are quiet enough that Solas can hear Dorian’s gait before his voice lands upon his ears. They twitch at the sound of his name slurred ever-so-slightly upon wine stained lips, attention divided sharply between the boisterous offer and the book of poetry laid in his lap. The last stanza dissipates like water beneath sunlight, and its meaning lost alongside it.
