Ahh Dany thank you so much!!

questions, always accepting

ough. alright we're finally getting into some mythal thoughts. the second part of the question is easier, that no, he doesn't see her as something different between those times. he recognizes that she's changed; she's taking actions he would actively caution her against, she isn't heeding his advice anymore, there are maybe parts of her that are just as frustrated with his actions as he is with hers, but no matter what she does to him, he still sees her - perhaps blindly - as that first face that kept the brightness of the sun away from his new eyes. he guilts himself for accepting her offer to join the world, we know he regrets it or at least how his purpose was manipulated, but he knows he would still make the decision again if given the chance. if only to do it right this time.

for the first part of the question...i liken it to what leliana says about divine justinia when you press her about the nature of their relationship. i cannot remember the exact line at the moment but something to the tune of "because there's love involved, it must be romantic?" because people struggle to understand what it is to feel so beholden and immersed in a person without it being sexually intimate. solas' relationship with mythal isn't romantic/sexual, and i wouldn't go so far as to say it's maternal either, though for someone that doesn't have a traditional parent, perhaps there's a grey area where it all blends together. it isn’t so easily extracted / differentiated when she, in a way, raised him - she taught him about the world, she was there as he grew into his own skin, but he still believes himself her equal, deep down. he knows her better than elgar'nan, that's for sure.

The ocean is not known for its stillness.

Perhaps that is her doing, as much as it is the Earth's, but kneeling at her feet, he cannot truly discern which came first to move the other. He has seen terrible waves in the belly of a storm. He has seen the gentle roll of the tide. He knows that either could change within moments from a flourish of her hand.

For all the lilting sweetness in her voice, Solas cannot tell which part of the cycle this comes from; if it is the calm before, or after.

But he knows implicitly he could never turn either away, and when her hand takes his chin, he lets her, the grim line of his mouth softening for the moment it takes to forget what they've accomplished. The dagger is a heavy reminder at his side, but it is his to carry. She had said as much.

His gaze falls to his hands. Without a threat to face, his fingers feel slack, as odd and empty as something else he can't pin down. A change. ❛ I fear I already have, ❜ Solas answers softly. He'd only had this body for a short while compared to the others, but long enough to learn its intricacies. What it felt to be alert, then tired; hungry, then sated; hurt, then healed. Control over it proved deceptively easy for what it took to make it.

She’s beautiful. It’s the first thing he notices about her, how she caries herself and the turn of her smile and the way that she sees him when she looks at him. She sees him and he’s never been seen, and he never knew that he wanted to be seen. 

He doesn’t know how she commands the influence she does, but it changes his world as she takes his hands. She takes his hands between her own and she puts her fingers beneath his chin so that when she sees him he can also see her, and when she asks him to gather his things she makes promises he’s never heard before. 

He learns about mothers when she touches his cheek, when she pushes sweat-damp hair from a soot-covered face, when she smiles at the cat he won’t leave behind, when she takes his hand so they stay together when they walk away.
