a tiny smile tugs at her lips, even half asleep. she clearly has no intention of moving away, her head tucked against his chest, a hand resting over his heart.
( there's scribbles all over the diamond's walls .
' SERA DE RIVA WAS HERE ', multiple times . also butts . and what looks like a crow wearing a paper boat hat . )
— heart, tugging at his shirt the slightest bit to draw him closer.
Certainly not what she’d expected to wake up to, but this was far better than anything she could have thought of, could have hoped for.
Control. Focus. All that went out the window the moment he’d returned. Each passing second had her heart fluttering in her chest, racing like a fleeing Halla. Singing like the sweetest melody. And she never wanted it to end.
Before she even finds the words to reply, his lips —
do something stupid.
“Forgive me,” he mutters hoarsely, so quiet he could almost be saying it to himself.
He slides one hand to cup her face, bringing her into a gentle kiss as his thumb lightly traces her cheek.
— find hers in a kiss so tender it speaks so much more than words ever could. And she so easily gives in, her lips softly moving against his as she leans into the gentle touch on her cheek. One hand slowly comes up, a soft caress on his cheek while the other remains over his —
“Solas…” His name, merely a soft breath from her lips as she accepts the flowers, a soft smile tugging at her lips.
With a low chuckle she leans in to softly kiss his forehead. “So thoughtful.”
— such soft tones, laced with emotions she never quite found the words for.
No hesitation in her movements as she shifts just that little bit closer, her heart pounding in her chest.
So easily her fingers lace with his, a subtle squeeze. Silent gestures that so easily wash away the fatigue. With her forehead resting against his she finally allows herself to truly relax again, steel blue eyes so easily falling shut.
“Solas…” Just his name, whispered in —
His hand curls around hers, fingers threading between her own. His forehead lightly presses against hers. He closes his eyes, just enjoying her presence.
“… You ruin me,” he says, with all the fondness in the world.
“Mhm…” A soft murmur as she leans a little into his touch. “I missed you, you know.” She carefully reaches up to lift the nug out of her hair. “He keeps doing that lately.”
@SkyholdKnight Well, you certainly don’t look it.
I was just thinking it’s gotta be strange. All those years you’ve worked with her and all this she kept me a secret.
