The drifting mists of the sea’s waves splash upon my face, the crashing upon the shore drowning out the cacophony of whispers in my mind.
“Inquisitor.” It’s a soft interruption, in that glib tone that can only belong to one Tevinter ambassador. “If you’re going to stare off into space, at least make sure you’re looking at something much more beautiful. Like me for instance!”
“Ah, but Dorian, my friend, if I stare at your face for too long, I will hardly get anything done. And I’d rather not have Josie after me to finish my paperwork. For when Josie gives the friendly warnings, Leliana’s threats of bodily harm are not far behind.” I quip, wiping moisture from my face and hoping my mage friend hasn’t noticed the tear tracks amongst the ocean spray.
He stares at me just a little too long, a sadness taking over his lips and brow, though he smiles anyway. His arms open in a shrug, but they stay wide and I step into them, feeling frail, strong, large, and miniscule all at once. ____
