Back to Skyhold. Back to work.

Alistair resumes training with the Chargers a few days after his and Cullen's return; the company got back from Halamshiral just before the Basin group showed up, Bull explains, so he was giving them a rest before picking up exercises again. Krem fills Alistair in on all the details as they're exchanging blows. Some of it is just Orlesian Worst Game Ever nonsense, but since it ends with a whole lot of shamefaced nobles with no mercenaries to their names, Alistair's pretty damn pleased.

(Maybe he can get the new mercenaries in on his plan to dress up the training dummies in Orlesian garb. Hmmmmmm.)

Cullen's in a war room meeting by the time Alistair's done. He throws some water on his face and heads for the kitchens -- maybe he can split a small meal with Kieran before Morrigan's return.

Still careful: "Is that good enough?"

Cullen doesn't move. "You wanted to know." Defensive.

"I shouldn't have said what I did this morning."

Finally. Every word comes out slowly, stuck in molasses.

"But I had to."

"As though being burdens to each other isn't what being with someone is all about," Cullen mutters.

More flatly than he intends:

"Such as?"

(It's beginning to sink in that he said something he shouldn't have to Alistair, and then immediately ran off and did something that he knew would make him feel like hell for the rest of the day. Crime, and punishment.)

"It's all anything is."

Cullen shrugs roughly, and passes a hand over his face, as though trying to wake himself. "Everything."

Cullen blows out a sharp breath. "Alistair, we were playing for ourselves alone until everyone showed up. Then we stopped. You don't think Josephine and Leliana would have rather continued drinking wine on the balcony?"
howtoactfereldan: (blessed are the peacekeepers)

Sharper: "Drop it, Theirin."

Fine.

He stalks forward and takes a seat in the chair, armor clunking against the wood.




(He hunches over, head low, fingers running through his hair.)

"I went to see Samson because it's the last chance, like as not."

Muffled; he hasn't moved. The words are careful. Deliberate. Gauged.

"You have the luxury of appearing frightened."

[personal profile] howtoactfereldan 2017-06-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Defensive again: "The information was worth the effort."

"We'll need it if Lavellan doesn't come back."

Cullen tenses.

"I should -- calibrate the trebuchets. I should have done that this afternoon."
