Books and shields

Are you still in need of those though, Cullen?

Oh my goodness it’s the best books ever. There’s a dragon princess and there’s incest and there’s a guy who dies and gets brought back to life and ice monsters and tree people who can see the past and all this other cool stuff. Apparently it’s written by a mysterious man named Brother Martin in Fereldan.

Dagna, Dagna, slower please. (Smirks.) A… dragon princess and - incest? And –

It seems there is a whole lot going on there. How many books so far?

There are five books right now. They’re long so they’ll keep you busy. The author SAYS he’s working on the sixth but that’s been forever. Here! Take my collection and come back when you’ve finished! You won’t be able to put them down I promise! 

Oh and…um…don’t get too attached to any of the characters. 

It is not over yet? Let me guess - you want company for expecting the next one. (Smirks.) I will trust you on this one. Thank you.

… Wait, what do you mean don’t get attached?

Oop! Nope! Can’t talk! Gotta go enchant things BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

.... DAGNA!

thespiritofcole:

What - does that even mean?

Cole… would you like company? It seems you’ve been away from us for a long while.

Lost.

Cole…

Come here, sit with me. I - do not know much about these things, but… I am your friend. I am here for you.

No- No, no… I can’t- I can’t- Falling… 

Cole, you can. Listen to my voice. Follow it. Please, you can do it. I will not let you fall.

@thespiritofcole

Cole? Are you… around?

Around… and around… Talking in rounds. Stories that connect but don’t make sense. Missing thoughts. 

Missing, missing, missing, missing…

Cole. Here, focus, look at me.

What happenned to you?

I see him in every mind. But… not mine. Where-… Where is he? 

Where did you take him?

Him? Who --

... Oh. Oh Cole. If this hurt me, I should have imagined it would hurt you so much more. Are you talking about Solas?

What happenned to you?

Some time ago I read the report on the…well, the incident where the Inquisition discovered they had a Dread Wolf in sheep’s clothing. And it mentioned him having similar armor to other ancient elves. That armor was pretty stylish (although the knee faces were a questionable touch). So my question is, when Fen’harel is doing his recruiting, does he wear that armor, or the outfits from before that make him look like a homeless man living under a log in the woods whose only friends are halla and mushrooms?

I fully acknowledge that Corypheus dressed like the Evil Enchantress character from a two-copper Orlesian stage show, but he was also a huge, terrifying darkspawn. I just want to know if I should be passing judgement on the elves who have pledged themselves to the cause of the hobo apostate whose mage staff is just a stick that he found?

… You had to mention Solas, didn’t you?

(Sighs.) About your question - I am far from being a fashion consultant, but I would think it counter-productive to attempt to recruit people while wearing the apostate equivalent to pajamas.

Samson is still asking the important questions, I see.

Perhaps it was too naive of me to hope that some painful wounds would be left alone.

Sometimes you have to lance a wound and drain the pus instead of letting it fester.

By imagining his clothing?

One might think you had a different type of friendship with him, Samson.

It won’t be left alone for a long while yet, I’m afraid. Some wounds…serve as reminders.

I do not think I need to be reminded that those I consider friends could stab me at the back at any moment. And of my utter failure to see it coming from a mile away.

A life so untrusting... might not be worth living.

It’s a valid question, Seeker! I’m thinking strategically. And what about when he needs to go undercover as Not-the-Dread-Wolf?

Then he could pretend to be one of the temple sentinels or do you sincerely believe most people would see elf in armor and immediately think 'ancient god'?

(Snorts.) Should I go get a Revered Mother?
