"H☆ll to the Nah!!!"

"After I told Ted that Fishy ran away, he started crying!"

"And would cry every time someone uttered the word "fish." He's JUST NOW getting over it!"

Tagged by @pip-n-flinx and @natsora, thank you both!

Tagging @a11sha11fade, @bdafic, @cartadwarfwithaheartofgold, @fiadhaisteach and @ir0n-angel. No pressure!

“What is your intention for him?”

“Closure. Forgiveness. He's paid for his transgression and become a better man. I won't let him swing for something he did in the past.”

“That is remarkably magnanimous of you.”

She snorted at him. “Solas, every single person in the Inner Circle of the Inquisition is harboring some dark, awful secret or deed. Or both. Usually some form of morally gray or outright criminal behavior. Even me. Hell, even Cole, the sweetest murder baby to ever cross the Veil. That you made. I think it's more accurate to say it would be hypocritical of me to offer him any less forgiveness than I offered you.”

He looked like he wanted to refute it, to argue on principle about the punishment due to a man who had done reprehensible things. But he had nothing and, after a moment, smiled faintly. “A fair point.”

“Thank you,” she said sweetly. They went back into the main room and she leaned on the nearest bedpost. It was solid under her shoulder, rising up to meet the ceiling of the grotto like the other three. She often teased him about how it would take an earthquake to move his bed but that shouldn't stop them from trying. Speaking of which... “So, what shall we do to while away the hours of hiding from my advisors?”

He smirked and crossed the room to stand entirely too close to her, not that she minded. Ever. “I have some thoughts on that.”
