@starkhvn, Sebastian & Elethea - Your Love Of This Place…i Can Feel It. Anyone Can.
@starkhvn, sebastian & elethea - your love of this place…i can feel it. anyone can.
THE SINCERITY IN HIS VOICE CATCHES HER OFF - GUARD, perhaps fereldans were known to be of a blunter nature, but even she was unused to such earnestness. it was plain that the prince meant nothing ill by his words; in fact, she sensed an undercurrent of praise in his tone. but she had spent so long in hostile company in her youth that she was still unsure of what to make of such comments. whether he had some hidden meaning tucked within a phrase somewhere, or if his suggested admiration was simply that. uncomfortable with the vulnerability that came with being so astutely observed — especially coupled with the insinuation that anyone could sense such tenderness from her, she squirms a little beneath his seemingly all - seeing gaze. twisting at the rings on her fingers, and permitting a soft chuckle to huff from her as they walk. "gracious, am i so very obvious? i shall strive to be more discreet in future," mirth ringing in her tone to mask the surprise. she shrugs simply. "it's my home, doesn't everyone love their home?"
even with howe long dead, it felt dangerous to be known to love anything. and love did not quite suffice when it came to the depths of her feeling for gwaren. it was both her child & an extension of her very being. the devotion she felt for the teyrnir was such that it made her feel guilty, at times, to know that she had never loved highever with such ardor. perhaps it was because it was entirely hers - highever had belonged to her parents, and to her brother. gwaren belonged solely to elethea, and it was loved with fittingly possessive ferocity. "she has a sort of stubborn charm, you'll see. i couldn't help it — you must be careful, or she'll grow on you, too."

elethea's happy ending is literally her reconnecting with nature and i just think its very funny
do you guys still love me (say yes say yes say yes say yes)
@altarcup, helaena. do you believe in fate?
"in truth? not particularly, your grace," tone utterly frank, but not dismissive of the question. the fine comb is pulled through the silver strands of the queen's hair with the utmost tenderness & care, making sure not to tug too sharply. perhaps it was strange not to believe in supernatural forces when dragons flew about, but to elethea, they were merely animals. the existence of magic did not mean any mystical hand guided the paths of men. at least not average men, she was pious enough to believe the gods intervened on those worthy enough, but did that count as fate? "what people tend to ordain as fate is typically just ... the consequence of choices made, i think. even if the choice isn't made by those who suffer the consequences."

❛ you will not fall. i will not allow it. ❜ ❛ i could torch him if you like. but you do seem attached. ❜ ❛ you're making us look bad. stop it. ❜ ❛ i chose him for his inability to relent. ❜ ❛ at least i didn't let you fall to your death. ❜ ❛ but i will not run. i wouldn't be standing here if i'd quit every time something seemed impossible to overcome. ❜ ❛ the right way isn't the only way. ❜ ❛ justice is not always merciful. ❜ ❛ the reason we'll never be anything more than friends isn't because of your rules. it's because you have no faith in me. ❜ ❛ i'm used to functioning in pain, asshole. are you? ❜ ❛ in the darkest moments, it is our light that shines the brightest. ❜ ❛ fear is not the enemy, but rather the catalyst for growth and bravery. ❜ ❛ the only limits we have are the ones we set for ourselves. ❜ ❛ courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to face it head-on. ❜ ❛ going for blood today, are we, [name]? ❜ ❛ i don't deserve you. but i'm going to keep you all the same. ❜ ❛ there's nowhere in existence you could go that i wouldn't find you, [name]. ❜ ❛ you look all frail and breakable, but you're really a violent little thing, aren't you? ❜ ❛ defenseless women have never been my type. ❜ ❛ even when i'm not with you, there's only you. ❜ ❛ there is no me without you. ❜ ❛ i've been yours for longer than you could ever imagine. ❜ ❛ i know exactly who and what you are, [name]. ❜ ❛ we're all broken in some way, but that doesn't mean we can't find beauty in the cracks. ❜ ❛ if i get my hands on you, really, honestly get my hands on you, i don't know if i'll be able to stop. ❜ ❛ she exists and i get turned on. i've come to accept that particular truth over the last year. ❜ ❛ fuck, i'm never going to get enough of you, am i? ❜ ❛ not that i wouldn't climb the man like a tree if presented with the right set of circumstances. ❜ ❛ let me guess, you could smell my perfume. isn't that what always gives the heroine away in books? ❜ ❛ do you boys just want to whip it out and measure? it would be faster. ❜ ❛ hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. it steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs - on the probabilites. ❜ ❛ you can't make me fall in love with you and then die. ❜ ❛ none of this is worth it without you. ❜ ❛ i'm so wildly in love with you that i can't imagine what my life would look like without you in it. and i probably shouldn't have said that, but if we're doing this, then we're starting from a place of complete honesty. ❜ ❛ you never considered that it was you i couldn't stay away from? ❜ ❛ you turned oranges into a weapon, [name]? ❜ ❛ you're going to be the death of me. ❜ ❛ have you always been this tall? ❜ ❛ no one stays friends forever, [name]. eventually those closest to us become our enemies in some way, even if it's through well-intentioned love or apathy, or if we live long enough to become their villains. ❜ ❛ i need you to survive this, even if i hate that i still love you. ❜

@wakesleft, "i wish i could do more. i really do."
"SPARE ME YOUR WISHES," it is ungenerous, to hold against him the little beyond his control that he cannot changed — especially as he has helped so much. but she has never been known to be generous, not in sentiment, anyway. and the necromancer was grating on her nerves simply by breathing at present. "they waste my time & yours- i can do little and less with wishes. i need results."
