“My darling boy,” Nathaniel reiterates. He knows the drill, but doesn’t mind it. Not this far away. “The love of my life. My dear husband.”

“I’m fine,” Nathaniel says, picking up his own fork. When they do it together, it’s like eating dinner at the end of the day. “A lot of work has gotten a bit slow. Everyone is waiting to see who becomes Divine.”

“The women who are up for this are shrewd. They are very much invested in ensuring there’s no repeat of the last ten years. And they won’t trust the templars in a hurry, so their only option is to compromise with the mages. Who are helping in the war effort very visibly.”

“What they want now is what will get them elected,” Nathaniel reminds him. “After, they will be faced with the very real task of peace, and their own legacy. None of them want further war as their legacy.”

“Ferelden and Orzammar both have elective processes, Anders, I am not coming at this from an angle of sentimentality or naivete. What you ought to consider is that mages, too, are in the running for an election. Think less in terms of your fate being sealed and more in terms of earning votes. From all the grand clerics, and from all the world. Maybe your ideal outcome won’t happen, and we’ll run away to the country and never be found again. But there doesn’t need to be another war.”

“You’ll need a big plan. One that spans after the election. And I’ll help you with it, if you want me to.”

It would be so easy to dismiss Anders completely, but she's aware of the fact that Anders has been married and in love for longer than she's held any kind of affection for anyone. There's an edge of frustration about her and it makes her nose wrinkle and her head turn, looking away from him for just a moment.

She doesn't like the idea that she is being patronised, but it doesn't feel like that. It feels completely genuine; he wants to help her and that makes her just as uncomfortable as anything else.

"I have never had that feeling. No one has ever..." She purses her lips, frowning. No one has ever put her first - not her mother, her father, not even Octavian. He had stolen her dreams and run off with them when once he had been her entire world; her faith in him had been shattered. If she cannot even trust her twin...

"I cannot imagine any of this is worth it."

Sidony has a level of faith and understanding when it comes to Anders; she recognises that he understands her on the same level that Byerly might and she trusts that, even if she struggles to admit things to herself and to him. She wants to deny it because it would be easier to follow her path if she did; everything would be so much easier.

"So I'm supposed to wait until my own Nate comes along?" An eyebrow raises, looking at him sternly. She was planning on waiting anyway and waiting means marriage, so it all seems rather pointless.

"My work is what makes my life worthwhile, you said yourself. I'm not going to settle down here and waste my time waiting for something that might never happen when I have a job to do. You really are spouting a lot of nonsense, darling."

But, oh, she wants, quietly, intensely.

Sidony raises her own eyebrows back, watching him for a moment. She's not ever going to be the type of person to give into scolding or any looks that someone else might give her - it hadn't worked when it was her mother and father, so it's certainly not going to work when it's a friend who's laps he happens to be sitting on.

"I am far too busy for all of that and you know it," she complains, shaking her head. "I've been spending time with people and I have been speaking with them, but it's not as if I'm aware of what they want from me beyond healing. It's easier with men, you know."

Which is the closest she's come to admitting her attractions without explicitly stating it, and she bites her cheek, frowning a little. She doesn't want to give too much away, but she's desperate for some way of understanding how to get her feelings across properly.

"So I need to be louder? I can think of many people who would disagree with you."

Detlef,

[ Just in case someone carrying the message to Kirkwall snoops. ]

I need as many cat names as you can think of. It’s an emergency.

There's a knock at Anders' door one evening. Colin looks miserable on the other side.

"I did something really weird," he says quietly.
keenly: (I'll gather myself)

[personal profile] keenly 2019-05-07 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Colin comes in with arms folded.

"Um. You know Benedict? Mage from Tevinter?"

He knows Anders knows Benedict, or at least is pretty sure, as Benedict mentioned him.
