Also “eventually… you just move on" as a wildcard for anyone you want!

Mella is sound asleep in Aiyan’s bed in the corner of the room. Winter is starting to come to Kirkwall, the cold breezes from the south blowing in across the Narrow Sea.

Sethi stands in the face of one, just outside Aiyan’s doorway, her remaining arm tucked up to hide the other, letting the wind blow her hair back, her eyes closed. Aiyan and Nansa share a look before Nansa ducks out the door, taking Sethi’s narrow shoulders in his hands and softly steering her back inside. “At least get a coat on,” he murmurs.

But she simply goes to her daughter’s side, sitting on the bed and brushing away the fine hair Mella inherited from her. “Thank you for letting us stay here for a while,” she says quietly. “I think...I think it’s almost time for Mella and me to go back to Skyhold. Deal with what’s left of the Inquisition.”

Aiyan sinks down on the cot next to his best friend. “Sethi, if you need to stay longer...”

“It’s fine,” Sethi insists. “I’ve dealt with it being...like this...once before. I can do it again.”

“Last time, he was just missing,” Nansa says. “This time...”

“I know.” Sethi’s voice is a little more forceful now. “I still have a duty.”

“Seth...lethallan.” Aiyan tucks her hair behind her ear like she did for Mella. “Promise me--promise us--that you won’t let this weigh you down too long. All three of us know that you need to let go sometime, that, eventually...you just move on.”

“I know,” Sethi says, eyes still on Mella. “Let me...let me be sad a little longer?”

“A little longer.” Aiyan puts his arm around Sethi’s shoulders as Nansa kisses her forehead. “Go back and be who they need you to be when you’re ready, but first stay here and be sad a little longer.”

💭 💭 💭 make a combo with whoever you choose? 😀

Sethi on Han

He’s a good person. He’s sweet with Mella. Even if he was a little unsure around her at first, he was always considerate of her. I was afraid at first that he’d snap at her when she pestered him, but he never did.And he loves Nansa. I mean, who doesn’t--but Han really loves him. And I’m glad for that. Nansa needs someone to love him like that, to put him before themself. Han’s just as selfless as he is, and it’s good for Nansa. Good for both of them, probably.I don’t know Han well enough outside the field, honestly, but he’s a fantastic fighter, and he’s a good man.

Nansa on Haormina

She’s so, so sweet. The same sweetness I see in Han, just closer to the surface. And it’s been wonderful to watch her--I don’t know, bloom--like the flowers she likes so much--since she arrived at Skyhold. She’s less quiet now. Less sad. I think that Qunari woman who likes her has been good for her. And not having to be around her family.We bonded over being kind of, well, pushed aside in favor of our siblings. I do love her. She’s the sister I never had. Well--I had sisters, of course, but...none were quite like Haormina.

Halla on Re

He’s been a capable leader from the first. From what I know of him, I think he was raised to be a leader, so it makes sense. But he’s surprised me, too. He sees more than any of us, understands more than I do, that’s for sure.But...he’s a mortal like me. After the Exalted Council, the first time I saw him, when I went to report to him that the Qunari invasion had been repelled and my team and I had made our way through the eluvians to make sure of it...he looked so lost. For the first time, he really looked blind.So I offered. Offered my home as a safe place to rest. Sea air and privacy and no Qunari invasions or goddamned bald-ass elves or... Sorry.I think it’s been good for him. I’m glad. I, well--I care about him. I want him to be happy and well.

If all of your non-canon heroes were playing Mario Kart, who would won, and who wouldn't be able to go 5 feet without falling off a cliff? Who gets WAY too into it?

SHIT SON.

First of all, Sethi would so be the one who’s way too into it. You bet.

Sanea sucks so bad at it. Luke tries to help, but Sanea just flat-out sucks. He doesn’t give up on her, though. What a good brother.

Nansa would probably win; he has an uncanny sense for balance and timing, even if it’s not physical. He aces Rainbow Road and can’t figure out why the others don’t and why Sethi is shooting him death glares.

Cohr’s okay at it, but Rainbow Road just kicks their ass.

What is the BEST FOOD that your dai crew has ever eaten?

Halla: “You can’t get much better than food baked in the Skyhold kitchens. I go there for a loaf of bread or a pastry when I’m feeling down.”

Aiyan: “The tiny little cakes Leliana gets for me are...a guilty pleasure.”

Panna: “Anything with strong flavor. The stew they make sometimes in the Herald’s Rest. That’s my favorite.”

Saraan: “Nothing beats a steak of beef or venison or mutton spiced so much your mouth goes numb.”

bonuses!

Sethi: “We traded once with another clan for this candy--anise candy, was it? Anyway, it was sweet and bitter at the same time. Aiyan couldn’t stand it, and Nansa didn’t like it very much, so I got to keep our share for myself.”

Nansa: “I...don’t eat much of what you’d call nice food, I guess. There’s one kind of apple that only grows near...I think it was near Kirkwall or Ostwick. It’s very, very sweet, with just a little tartness. I trade for them when I can. They’re my favorite.”

Sanea: “It was mostly just basic rations in the Circle, but Arthur was the type to sneak us sweets. He once got this Rivaini candy that was hard until you warmed it in your mouth. It would melt on your tongue and eventually get soft and chewy. I asked for them whenever I could.”

Luke: “I never ate better than when I was allowed to go home for an evening, and somehow the cooks always knew when I would come home, because they always had some chocolate cake made for me when I visited. I think Halla would tell them my schedule so they knew when to buy the chocolate.”
