She’s warm.
Clear sunlight on her closed eyelids. Her neck—stiff as plaster. She must have slept on it crooked. Something sweet in the air, something without the faintest tinge of Blight. Jasmine, perhaps. Clematis. She stretches her legs luxuriously beneath the sheet, letting her toes curl. What time…
A heavy weight over her waist. Steady breathing at her back.
Adahla opens her eyes.
He’s still here, with her in the Fade. Still asleep, too, though that is not so unusual; she’d often woken before him, once upon a time. But he’d slept more lightly then, rousing the moment she’d stirred. Now—now Solas sleeps like the dead, barely shifting at all as she frees herself from beneath his arm and slides from the bed. The bruising to his face is a little better, she thinks; his torso, on the other hand, is a swollen, mottled purple.
He’s here.
