too much goin on in this meme to paraphrase !
well, this is it. this is the only thought in his mind as he crumbles to the ground, far from skyhold, defeated by a surprise attack while scouting. he’d bested the enemies, of course, not about to let them anywhere near the inquisition ; but they definitely got a few good hits in, which he realizes rather quickly. death feels so certain, so near, and yet when his eyes close ; they open again in skyhold. a scout must have spotted him, carried word to rescue him. and to make things easier, he doesn’t wake alone ; diem is near, too.
now, he’s always rather pleased to see diem, but this time in particular ? its relieving, and wonderful. he was scared back there, for once worried his eyes wouldn’t open again, and here he is ; safe, home, alive. the minute he sees her, ❝diem…❞ he tries to sit up, honestly just wanting a hug to ease his mind, but the pain from his injuries stops him, and he only manages to grip her arm. its better than nothing, for she’s alive, real and present, and he steadies his breathing to try and make light of the situation. ❝i guess i won, didn’t i ? hope i didn’t worry ya’.❞ a weakened chuckle leaves him. ❝you should see the other guy.❞
