Dragon Age:Inquisition headcanons - In the aftermath
Cassandra: (holding you tight against her) quit whining and saying sorry. It’s not your fault, you’re not one of the people who did it. Sure if you were, you wouldn’t be there asking forgiveness, right? Now stand up, you’re strong and you’re going to survive this. Of course it will be hard. But you’re harder.
Dorian: vistante kaffase, how this could have happened? Well, what is done is done. No panic, panic won’t solve anything. Breathe, now you’re seeing all dark, but it’s not. There are still good people and the world is not ended. No, it’s not, not even for you, trust him, he knows what he is talking about. Don’t forget you’re not alone.
Vivienne: dear, you’re going to hyperventilate. Walk with her and breathe. Back straight and eyes forward, dear. You’ve nothing to be ashamed for. What is done is done, and crying about this won’t solve the things. You have to think carefully about your next step and how you can limit the damage. Grab as much informations as you can about what and who can defend you and your rights.
Varric: it’s ok to be a little dazed, kid. We all are. Here, sit and take a drink. Just one, drinking yourself into a stupor and brooding won’t solve problems, It’ll just make them bigger. So, try to not make things which can ruin your future and try to not think about this mess for a little. Relax for a moment, a relaxed brain finds easier the solutions.
Blackwall: go with him. Manual labor and exhaustion will help you to rest, at least a little. Now you’re full of bad thoughts. Work on something you like, you’ll feel better. No, this won’t solve all the problems, but a good night of rest after a day of hard work, and even better a work for someone who really needs a hand, will help you to see the things differently.
Sera: fucking fuck, what the fuck?! Not even her bees can deal with this mess! Ehi, look, she cannot do much more than drag you to cook horrible biscuits, but… if you need a friend, or more than one, you know where you can find her and the others, right? Look, you’re in this shit together, so it’s not so bad, because you can stay hand in hand, right?
The Iron Bull: shit, this went bad, didn’t it? Do you have a plan? Not yet? Well, you do not need one in the next few hours, but planning now will help you later. And a good team too, for sure. The team is the importan part, they’ll be there for you, and vice versa. C’mon, you can handle this, you’re stronger than you think.
Solas: he’s so, so sorry. But he expected this, even if he had hoped, for a moment… but now, it’s time to close ranks and protect what you hold dear. You have a voice, despite what a bunch of arrogant people is trying to make you believe. Use it. Be ready to fight for what is right.
Josephine: sorry, she didn’t want to cry. Very well, you need a plan and a cup of tea. Better with some spirit inside. It’s time to contact friends and love ones and make sure they’re okay, and that they know nobody is alone or forgotten. Nobody. It’ll be bad for a little, but not forever. Nothing last forever, not even the worst situation.
Cullen: Maker’s breath, he had seen chaos before, but this… whatever you need, he’s there for you. It’s a bad situation, but not a desperate one. Losing a battle is not losing the war. You need to think carefully and be even more careful, but you’re going to win. You’re a good person, never doubt about this. And never let the others tell you otherwise.
Leliana: she knows a Crow. If you need…
(hugs to everyone needs one!)
