@ghoststained asked: ❛ So what you’re saying is that reality falls far, far short of the fictional. ❜ from helena ! ( BONES | ACCEPTING )

⧼ ☾✦ ⸻ ❝ Well, yes and no. ❞ She quickly said as the two walked around the wilderness of the Hinterlands. ❝ My reality is my reality but people try to change said reality by throwing in titles like the chosen one, the puppet and the elven bitch who was sent by Andraste herself. ❞ She does try and stop those rumors, it wasn't Andraste behind her, it was herself and the many allies that have helped her through the chaos she has found herself in. She denied being the Herald and then was suddenly forced as the Inquisitor.

It was the same old story for her.

She says no, she gets pulled in anyway, she says yes, she has upset someone in the inner circle. There was no winning in this game, therefore maybe the words of Hawke were right, letting them believe what they want to believe. However, she didn't want to be a story from some religion that she did not believe in. She had her Gods and her heart will not open up to the Maker nor his subjects.

@ghoststained​:  ❝ do you make a habit of scaring the hell out of everybody? ❞ from helena !

well,   this   was   awkward   —   it   had   been   years,   try   six,   since   she   had   last   seen   or   even   talked   to   case.   now   they   were   sitting   across   from   each   other   in   a   starbucks   while   some   crappy   indie-rock   song   blared   overhead   and   he   talked   about   how   he’s   been   doing   better.   he   looked   better,   she   thought.   and   she   had   decided   spur   of   the   moment   that   he   deserved   to   know   about   his   daughter.            ‘   i   have   to   tell   you   something.   ’            she   placed   her   paper   cup   down,   eyes   darting   from   him   and   back   to   the   table.            ‘   i,   uh   —   well   i   just   wanted   to   let   you   know,   while   you’re   here,   that   we   have   a   daughter   together.   ’            she   cringes   as   the   words   come   out,   eyes   moving   upward   to   read   his   expression.            ‘   she’s   about   to   turn   six.   i’m   sorry   i   never   told   you   until   now   i   just   —   times   were   different   then,   you   know ?   ’     /      @ghoststained​

" well? ”    a  moment  passes  before  before  gabbi  is  about  to  completely  give  up.    why  was  picking  out  outfits  for  a  date  proving  to  be  impossible?    why  did  she  even  agree  to  this  stupid  date  in  the  first  place.    this  is  why  they  never  go  on  dates.   “ how  do  i  look? ”    feeling  suddenly  self  conscious  they  just  want  to  lock  themselves  in  their  closet  and  skip  out  on  the  date,   but  instead  they  flop  down  face  first  onto  the  bed  next  to  their  friend.   “ this  is  stupid. ”

Her hand snapped away from the stitched wound on her arm, fingers tucked into her palm. An infection. She rolled her eyes at the comment, brows creased and she moved both hands below the tabletop, she pulled the sleeve of her shirt down to cover the wound. The shirt really wasn’t any cleaner than her dirty fingers, but he really didn’t need to worry about it. It wouldn’t get infected.
