If you ask for a kiss, you’ll get a kiss

     Inara has never cared for the Deep Roads. Lately, however, they’ve made her shake right out of her skin -- knowing that she has someone to come home to makes every day spent down in those tomb-like tunnels nigh unbearable, and when she emerges, she practically runs through the streets of Kirkwall like she’s on fire (though, in hindsight, running on while on fire is a pretty bad idea). And today is no different; it takes her all the way until she’s found Kain at the Chantry and latched onto him before she realizes she hasn’t even changed out of her Warden blues, making the pair of them quite a spectacle. 

     “People are staring,” says the Templar as gently as he can once she finally surrenders control of his lips back to him, attempting to pry Inara’s arms from around him as gently as possible. The Sisters all just sigh and shake their heads; at this point, they’ve seen worse. 

     “I don’t care,” she replies, and kisses him again.

Send 💘 for my muse to talk about their crush/lover.

     “Well. There is this one man. 

Our attraction is a bit awkward, I confess. I started off lying to him a bit -- or more than a bit -- and we took off our clothes together before we really even shared anything deeper than skin. He was meant to be a one-night stand, just some harmless fun. Not to mention, he’s a foreigner. I always believed I would end up with a good Fereldan man.

   ❝ …not that hard, though. no need to go that far. –no, actually, but you don’t need to try very hard with that, either~ ❝

secret date ?!

The smile he received had his heart beating louder and fast for a brief moment, a clear sign that it had been far too long since he’d had the fortune to see it frequently. He took a step closer while she talked, a part of him yet doubting that he had regained all benefits he once heeded.

  “A late one. I missed it once or twice, after all.”

The question regarding the box’s content caused him to smirk in an almost sheepishly proud manner, arms folding behind his back as he gave a light hum.

  “Open it and find out.”

And inside, she would find a necklace bearing the Wardens’ insignia, crafted from clean metal and shaped with enough detail to make it seem like a gift hiding more expenses that he had actually suffered to make. It looked pure and sat gently atop a few pieces of cloth, and on its back, one could spot the words ‘rose’ and ‘with love’ in between the lines and curves of the griffon’s form.

                                          " We haven't seen each other for a few years                                              Kain. I wasn’t expecting anything you know. “ 

                     She glanced up at him and smiled at his smirk, her heart swelling                      to see it again. She sighed, a little resigned despite her excitement                      at the gift. 

                     But upon opening the box, she found herself speechless. Her mouth                      formed a silent ‘o’, her eyes widened when she saw the carefully                      crafted griffon. In silent astonishment, she traced its curves and bents,                      relishing in the cold metal that kissed the tips of her fingers. 

                      She plucked it out, setting the box on the table behind her and relished                       on the weight in her hand. She turned it over and silently gasped when                       her eyes fell on the three carved words. She ran her fingers over her                       name, his words, her throat dry and closed up and Rose was left                       speechless. 

                                                        “ Kain... this-- I-- “
