Inktober 2019 Day 8 FRAIL
Adrius Lavellan
otherworldly, never-ending
“Elfsblood River.” At the voice, Adrius looks up in confusion. Cassandra looks remarkably awkward, then, shifting from foot to foot. “The Orlesians are far from subtle.”
Part of my trade with the absolutely amazing @cdhurricane!
Adrius is always so great to work with. And writing out the first steps into the Emprise du Lion? So good.
My part of OC outfit swap with @crashed-down-in-a-hurricane, Sevy in Adrius’ clothes. He looks like a magician lol.
A Thorn at His Side
A one shot for @crashed-down-in-a-hurricane, as part of our art trade. I loved writing this! The next one will be for her Frey Mahariel.
Word Count: 2,397 Read on AO3, or continue below.
Cassandra did not budge as the stout shelf rattled on its feet when Cullen’s gauntleted fist smashed against its side. “He is a heathen!” the former templar bellowed, assisted by the myriad of droplets that dotted the woman’s face. She did not bother to clean herself. Her answer was contained, silence during the storm, marred only by her traditional stern Nevarran accent. “He bears the Mark. We have no choice.”
“This is not what I signed up for, Pentaghast. Maker’s breath, in one instant we are following the Divine’s orders, and I am working with her Hands – I can deal with it. I left the Templars, you left the Seekers, we are going to reform them. We are going to go after our lost sheep, slay the wolves among them.” For a moment, it seemed Cullen had been able to regain control of himself, as he leaned against the shelf he had just assaulted, and pinched the bridge of his nose. But soon his voice boiled up and his temper flared up again. “Bring the goddam Chantry back on its feet! But now,” and there he was, barging once more, increasingly closer to Cassandra’s unmoving face. “We are following the lead of a tree-hugging pagan!” The Commander could not believe as not even Cassandra’s brows moved. His eyes widened in desperation, he brought both his hands to his head and, in a swift movement, turned and kicked a chair against the walls of the improvised war room in Haven’s Chantry. He turned again to Cassandra as quickly as he had kicked the chair and pointed at his own face with all his ten fingers, his spit finally hitting the woman straight in the eye and forcing her to wipe it clean. “He has a demon symbol tattooed on his face! All over his face! I tried to turn a blind eye, ignore him like we have ignored the bald mage elf, but he is making the Inquisition be a Dalish thing! He goes, leads our scouts, speaks in our name, and… Pentaghast! I saw children putting that demon symbol on their faces with mud! We cannot have that face be the face of the Inquisition! The Most Holy…”
And day five. Again for my dear @crashed-down-in-a-hurricane. This time it’s her lovely Adrius Lavellan who gets a kiss from Alec. I’m not so sure about this one since I haven’t had much time to play with him. At least not as much as I had with Frey. But I enjoyed writing this and I hope you enjoy reading.
Day One Day Two Day Three Day Four
Steam rolled out of the door as soon as Alec opened it. He watched with a raised eyebrow as the white fog waved across the floor only to scatter away when the air grew too cold. It seemed like someone had the same idea he had after spending the day cooped up in the meeting room. If he had to listen to one more noble whine about how the soldiers needed provisions and equipment he would take his axe to their head.
Leiliana would probably help him hide the body and Cullen? Well, his lover would certainly be rather put out but relieved as well. Only Josie would be a bit more rattled. She did like to dance around them with her words. It was also the reason why it had been calm and quiet so far.
“Are you going to come in and close the door or are you going to continue letting the warm air out?” The voice came from inside the room. Alec turned his head back to gaze inside. It was dimly lit with only a few candles. Still, it was enough light that he could make out the wooden tub and a head laying against the edge. The sound of splashing water echoed quietly from the high walls. It felt almost serene.
Alec shook his head with a smile and stepped into the room. He closed the door behind himself.
“Thank you,” the voice sighed. It sounded familiar but Alec couldn’t quite put his finger down on who it was. Which wasn’t all that surprising, given how many of his old friends and companions had appeared in Skyhold after he’d send out word that Thedas was in danger. Again.
“I wasn’t expecting anyone to be here at this hour,” Alec admitted with a shrug. He put the bundle of clothes, he’d been carrying, onto the vanity table that stood next to the door. “I thought that most people had gone to bed already. It is rather late after all.”
“Which is why I’ve come here, too,” the other man answered with a huff. “Although it seems that a quiet bath isn’t in the cards anymore.”
“Adrius,” Alec shook his head. He should have known. The young elf was prone to playing little pranks when he was in a good mood and hiding away from hours when he felt down. It had happened quite a few times when they’d travelled together.
“Figured it out then,” Adrius turned towards him. He put his arms onto the edge of the tub and cushioned his chin on them. The dim light of the candles illuminated the slender face. The tired face. Alec sighed and shook his head.
“Well, can you blame me?” he asked softly. “So many of my old friends stumbled in that it’s hard to keep track of who sneaks off to where.” Adrius laughed as well and tilted his head sideways.
“I guess that’s true,” he agreed with a sigh. Alec frowned. His legs moved before his head gave the order to do it and moments later he stood next to the tub. Adrius looked up at him and his eyes betrayed the tiredness.
Alec shook his head with a soft smile before he crouched down. He took the small cup that sat next to the tub and motioned for Adrius to sit up.
“Come on,” he grinned when his friend’s ears flattened slightly in suspicion. “I only want to help you get done before you fall asleep in here and drown. That wouldn’t go over well with the maids and least of all with Josie.” His words had the desired effect and Adrius lips slipped into a smile.
“Alright then,” he agreed. “But only because of Josie.”
“Of course,” Alec nodded, before leaning forward to fill the cup with water. In the same movement he pressed a gentle kiss to Adrius temple.
