“not at all,” he replied as he handed them over, glad to be among other scholars. he had taken some notes on a recent expedition into some ruins. “what are you working on?”

“oh! it’s very interesting,” vara said, voice pitching up a half step. she was excited. she so rarely got to interact with other scholars. though, there were plenty at skyhold. “well, i am looking into fade touched objects. and a touch of lyrium and how they interact. a great many things. which is why these ruins are so very important to me. the veil is thin there. therefore...a possibility of fade touched objects. if you ever find any, i would dearly love to see them. they...shimmer. sometimes. almost like they are constantly being caught in the light.”

     HER GREETING IS MET with a kind smile, and a nod, before he raises his gaze to finally meet hers.   “please,”   he waves a hand dismissively. formalities weren’t needed.   “no need to hold your tongue. what is it you need?”

“well.” his mistake for giving her permission to speak freely. “i wish, or that is to say, i desperately yearn to study your weirwood tree. or heart tree. i wish to study it only. i will not desecrate your heart tree nor would i ever desecrate any heart tree, for i find them fascinating.”

“the old gods are far more interesting than the seven, i believe, and from my own experiences, i find that the seven do not —” she frowns. “well, i won’t get into religious semantics with you, my lord. you may even accompany me. to make sure i properly follow any rules you might set. or place a guard on me. i... fear i have spoken far too much. an issue of mine.”

          ❝ yes, well. contrary to popular belief, not everyone from tevinter is an evil magister. ❞ the somewhat snarky comeback had become a knee-jerk reaction for dorian. almost habitual, considering the amount of times he has felt the need to repeat that fact since venturing south. the perception irritated him, clearly. still, he put on a friendly face, a polite smile gracing his lips.

“that’s disappointing. the mustache gives you the evil magister look. hm. well. i won’t complain.”

“now that my healthy dose of skepticism has been expended... hello! it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. the inquisitor tells me you are a necromancer, so tell me everything about the...oh what was the spell called. death siphon? you heal your own wounds and mana with the death of an enemy? that is fascinating!”

“ It is a simplification– must I stop in every conversation to explain in excruciating detail concepts I am already well aware you know in order for you to grasp that I too know them ? Or would like to have a conversation that gets anywhere before we both die of old age ? ”

“oh i don’t plan on dying, solas.” moving on from that. “as for your simplification, yes. i would prefer you explain them so i know exactly what you are speaking on. the fade is not something to prance upon lightly, and there are many nuances to her, if you did not know. therefore, i would prefer if you explain what you mean.” she gives him one of those smiles. “now. hm. where were we. ah yes! physically entering the fade. possible, i would think, but surviving it? i believe only our inquisitor has done so thus far.”

Tristan couldn’t help but chuckle; she looked spirited, quite daring. He was like that, once. Youth was indeed a blissful time.  “ Ma serannas, Vathari. I trust my advisors, therefore I trust in your ability to help.”  His back arched forward, slightly, as to bow gratefully.  “ And do feel free to correct me, my elvhen still needs some work. ”

  “ And — if the snooty elf you speak of is Solas — I suggest an open mind. There aren’t many mages of your ability in the Inquisition. ”  He paused for a moment, pondering.  “ Actually, it’s only the two of you. Thread carefully. ” Strengthening his back, he continued.  “ Have you already been shown your quarters, then? ”

“your elvhen is just find, my friend! i gathered what you meant, and your pronunciation was good. i am no great purist, either way. that you took time to learn it is a testament to your willingness to listen. a very admirable trait.”

she snorts at the open mind. “i will keep an open mind if he does. and if he stays away from me. hard to do when i am lodged with adan for the time being. being slightly okay  at potions has put me in the spot of apprentice potion maker as well. not that i mind.” she waved her hand. 

but then. “oh yes! i’m to be staying with adan, for the time being. though, if it’s possible, i was wondering if there was room in the chantry? i rather like the big... grand wall things. it’s all very interesting. from my point of view. the closest chantry to my old home was... an abandoned one. very frightening. the veil was thin there.”

  “ — You are the new recruit? ”  What a particular little girl. Tristan was told that a mage experienced in the fade had joined the order, thus he had expected someone who would have looked a bit more… mature. Then again, he knew that elves often looked younger.  “ Forgive my confusion, miss, but you look rather… young. ”

There, he realised his lack of manners.  “ — Forgive me once again, miss. I’m Tristan. Your presence here is appreciated, despite my rude introduction. ”

[fcdewalker]

“the very same,” she remarks. “vathari ilras, elven mage. apostate. well. um... fade expert? more than that snooty elf you’ve got, that’s for sure.” she rolls her eyes and smiles brightly. she looked up at the warrior with a glint in her green eyes.

“i shall take that as a compliment, herald. though i am young, i am quite smart. i’ve been studying the fade since i could walk. my mother and father, creators bless them, had to pull me from the fade some nights.”

she shakes her head and waves a hand. “worry not. it is a great pleasure to meet you tristan. i’m glad my presence is so welcome. i hope it will help too.”

MELANCHOLY

in longing, you are melancholy. you feel deeply and quietly, the feeling of yearning constant, like your own personal raincloud over your head that rains cold and collects in your heart, sometimes filling to overflow. the feeling follows you around and you push it away, but its always just a step behind; when it catches up to you, it turns your expression from a bright smile to a brief look down and your lips pulled into a kind of grimace. you bite your lip to break the look and hope no one notices. but secretly you hope someone did. you know this feeling is a creation of your own mind but you just can't shake it, and in some ways, you don't even want to. you know in your head what you desire is doubtful, but in your heart you don't want to give it up. the feeling is close to sadness but it's deeper, more meaningful than that. it pulls at your gut in a way that could bring you close to tears with a mere thought of that which you seek. be strong my love, your time will come.

WHICH PLANET ARE YOU?

NEPTUNE

You’re the forgotten one. It doesn’t matter where you go, but you’re the forgotten one. You don’t mean to be, it’s not something you enjoy - it makes you feel alienated and makes you sink further, further than you’d ever like to admit to another living human being. You haven’t quite found the select few that would die for you - and if you have, you haven’t realized it yet, have you? You have your doubts - and that’s okay, really, it’s hard to trust when you’re always being left behind. You’re not lesser for it. Regardless of whether you’re left behind physically, emotionally, or academically, it’s okay. It’s okay to take more time than you need and it’s okay to be slower than others, because that’s how you’re wired and you need to be told that that’s okay. It’s in our nature to be different, to be individual - that’s what makes us special, no? Not a single perfect replica in the world - and you need to own that. It’s easier said than done, but there’s never going to be another you and you need to accept that to get your life in order, to do what you want to do. Take a look at your priorities, at your life, see what’s making you miserable. It’ll be glaringly obvious when you do. And, perhaps, give yourself an apology.

♕ — What does leading a ‘good’ life mean to your muse? Are they satisfied with the choices they make?

life philosophy headcanons // accepting

leading a good life means you learn everything you can while you can. vara is a firm believer in being a know it all. in fact, it's her life long dream.

mostly, when it comes to choices, vara finds that she can't really look back, so she sort of forces herself to be satisfied with her choices.

[fcdewalker]

ok so something cool about vathari. she prefers not using a staff. like if she had to pick — staff or hands — she'd choose hands every time. it's how her mother wielded her magic, and she looks up to her mother a whole lot. she doesn't fault her dad for using a staff. she and her mother joke that it's because they're more powerful. and truly out of the three of them, vathari is the most powerful of mages.
