" we're friends . friends tell each other things . "
THE SOUNDS OF NIGHTMARES SENTENCE STARTERS .
"--I'm flattered." She laughed as she set out her gear, making sure everything was accounted for and properly charged or loaded. "Well then, what would you like to tell me, my friend?"
CLOSED STARTER. “You said you wanted time with me that wasn’t about sex, right?” Cole said quietly, lips by her ear while his hands rested on her hips. He stood positioned behind her, breathing controlled as he waited for the right moment to remove the blindfolds that had covered her eyes since he’d picked her up at her apartment twenty minutes ago. “Well... I can’t promise to keep my hands off you, but I can promise this isn’t only about the sex.” His tone grew playful at that, a smile on his lips while he reached up to the knot at the back of her head and undid the blindfold. When it fell away, and her eyes adjusted to the light of the sun once more, she’d see a motor boat docked before her. It appeared new and pristine but nothing overly flashy, which would probably come as a shock considering its owner, but it had plenty of room for lounging, including a sun bed large enough for two at the back of it. The tips of his fingers grazed her upper arms gently. “What do you say, babe?” @onyxedideas
“¿Bambi?” Cauteloso, se acercó a la pelirroja, desconfiando un poco de sus ojos entre la niebla de la mañana, que se elevaba incluso al nivel de su rostro entre las desiertas calles de West Ham “¿Eres tú?” | @scorpiusmclfoy
Cole: Your father is proud of you.
Averill: Proud enough t’ hide in a barn while Ma locked me in a cupboard, yeah.
Cole: No, not Oswin. Your Da.
Averill: That’s not--Ya never met him, ya don’t know anythin’.
Cole: No, but I can see his love for you, his pride.
Averill: I--I can’t--Please don’t.
Cole: You like to stay in high places.
Averill: Uh, yeah, guess I do climb lots of shit.
Cole: It makes you feel secure, they can’t drag you back if they can’t reach you.
Averill: Mmm, guess that’s a thing.
Cole: They were both scared until the other came along, they felt safe with each other.
Averill: Ya talkin’ ‘bout Da again?
Cole: The old tomcat is so soft, he was prickly at first but she gave him her last piece of jerky and he melted like butter. With a friend to hold the world is much less frigid.
Averill: Cole.
Cole: You didn’t mean to hurt him.
Averill: Shut up. Shut up!
Cole: I’m sorry that I upset you.
Averill: Don’t--Just don’t talk about that. Talk about Da or my shitty parents or Kirkwall just don’t talk about that.
Cole: He didn’t know what was happening, but he was glad that you were there when he slipped away.
Averill: I said to fuckin’ stop.
Cole: I--I thought it would help, to know that he wasn’t scared then.
Averill: It doesn’t, it really fuckin’ doesn’t.
Averill: Listen, we’ve gotta work on yer conversational skills. Frankly, they’re shite.
Cole: Varric and Solas say that I’m learning.
Averill: Varric and Solas’re yer da’s so they won’t tell ya straight but marginally better isn’t tha’ much better when yer starting point’s rock bottom.
Cole: You’re very good at climbing rocks.
Averill: Mhmm, an’ I’m gonna teach ya t’ climb yerself out ‘f those holes yer always digging.

“Right..” April nodded her head slowly and leaned against the frame of her front door while she stared Cole down. “So I suppose that’s why you vanished for months? Couldn’t handle feelings?”
He folded his arms behind his head, propping himself up enough to watch her as she got herself ready for her date. Lying in the middle of her bed, a thin sheet covering only his hips and his privates, he was as relaxed as he’d ever been. “You should wear that little black thing you showed me last week.” He commented lazily, gaze raking over her subtle curves. “Your ass looks fucking amazing in it.” She was still half naked, lacy lingerie the only thing that concealed her soft skin from view. His tongue slipped out, wetting his lips as a smirk took shape. “And when you’re done pretending to be the perfect girlfriend we both know you’re not, come by my place so I can rip it off you.”
