Random dialogue scene that popped in my head.
"We really shouldn't do this."
"Perhaps."
"No really. Last time didn't work out so well for me."
Brain keeps flipping from it being flirty to being funny like two people are lactose intolerant but sharing a milkshake or competing to see who can eat the most ice cream.
How does your brain read it? Do you have any ships you think it would work for?
*Asks are sent for fun, no pressure to answer.
Transitioning from "Perhaps" to something so defensive makes me feel like character A is being pressured. Or that character B is someone high status that character A wants to impress. Since we've been talking Dragon Age: Inquisition...
"We really shouldn't do this." Dorian's staff was loose in his hand. Fear sweat made it slip against his palm. He tightened his grip.
"Perhaps." As usual, if Solas's face was carved in marble, it would have more of an expression.
"No really. Last time didn't work out so well for me." The screaming. The fires. The bodies. The Inquisitor's "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" face.
"Knowledge comes at a cost," observed Solace neutrally. "Experimentation paves the road to all great spellwork."
And what was one life to stand in the way of greatness? Or a building, if it went very wrong. Worst case scenario, a small town. Dorian gripped his staff.
"Forward, then," he agreed.
