“ you’ll feel better if you talk about it . i’m here to listen . ” iron bull for murtagh

     the qunari’s words bring some comfort, though murtagh fails to muster a smile. the people of thedas are relying on him to protect them, but he’s stumbling at best. the inquisitor wonders, not for the first time, if he’s even the right person for the job. he has the mark, but surely there must be someone far more capable of doing this than him. the elf swallows, averting his eyes away from bull. he’s never been one for admitting his shortcomings, but the weight of it all is beginning to become too much. “i fear i cannot live up to expectations.”

“Is it okay if I lean on you?” - Mya Tabris @ Jowan ( @destinys-threads )

@destinys-threads  :  physical touch  :  accepting

        he didn’t used to mind.  

but then redcliffe happened.  jowan was used to going without touch in the circle  ;  the few friends he had were sometimes an exception,  but only when the templars weren’t looking.  especially if it was lily daring to share too much of the same air in the same room as him.  they’d always been so careful.  but isolde and her men were different.  the scars and faded bruises on his chest and back and arms were reminders of what he’d done,  the mistakes he’d made by being stupid and gullible enough to believe that teryn loghain would actually help a runaway circle mage.  even now he jumped when someone came up behind him too quickly,  felt like he couldn’t breathe if someone stood too close,  expected every touch to come with a sting or a cut or a slash.
