@inevitableking plotted with Lena!

She felt nervous. It wasn't their first time seeing each other since he became king, but it would be the first time they'd met intentionally. The first time she'd sought Alistair out. It felt stupid, to show up in Denerim like this, but she had information and a gift. He deserve these things, no matter where they stood with each other.

Yes, this was a good thing. This had to happen. This had to be done in person.

The Inquisitor, the warden--- did she deserve to be called that anymore?-- Whatever she was, she steeled herself as the doors opened and she was announced. Was this something to be done with professionalism or familiarity? Her feet moved without much thought, graceful and practiced nonetheless. That was something Helena had years of being focused on to thank.

"King Therein," Professionalism it was, for now. "I'd like to speak with you alone, if you have the time. The topics I wish to speak on are... sensitive."

@inevitableking asked:

❝ do you know where we're going or are we just trying to get lost now? ❞

"I mean, we don't exactly have a map and you've probably seen more of Thedas than I have." Had he? He had to have, right? She didn't really remember most of her life from before being brought to the Circle, though she knew she was supposedly from Kirkwall. "Though, I think the Brecilian Forest might be a bit tricky to navigate, in general. Morrigan said she could help. I think she's been scouting in one of her animal forms."

📚

Send “📚” and I will flip to a random page in a book and use the first line of dialogue I see as a starter.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

"There's a world of education to be had out here." It might have been taken as a joke, and she did think she heard a snicker from somewhere in their campsite. Helena wasn't joking, however. "I just mean... look at all the history, the different cultures and nations, the books that the Circle never would have had. And not just information, but real, proper learning. Like.... like I'm getting better at directing frost and ice in battles!" It was true, she hadn't struck Alistair with any stray ice for a bit! Knock on wood, she thought as she subtly rapt her knuckles against the log she'd propped herself on.
