*he chuckles at that*
I can imagine she was. Varric had better watch out.. Cassandra will be out for blood. His blood specifically..
Anyway, it is good to see you again and I am glad you've joined us. If you need anything, talk to Josephine, Leliana or myself.
*startles slightly*
Apologies, I didn't see you there.
*he shakes the offered hand with a polite smile and a nod*
Hawke, yes it's been a while. I'd heard that Varric had requested your presence. Your knowledge of Corypheus will be invaluable, I'm sure.
Um.. does Cassandra know you're here yet?
"You know this of course from your early training.
Those who are cut off suffer. Some go mad. Others die."
He paused for another moment before continuing.
"We've secured a reliable source of lyrium for the Templars here but I... no longer take it."

"Alistair, since we've become... involved with one another... I feel there's something I must tell you."
"You're being especially serious today... " Alistair commented warily.
"I know..." Cullen sighed and then went on.
"Lyrium grants Templars our abilities but it controls us as well.."

Alistair looked a bit guilty for a moment but then said with an eyeroll, "Alriiiight, we'll go to the armorers first.."

Cullen let himself be pushed out the door, waving to Davrien and Dorian on the way out.
"Where shall we go first? Surely you don't want to visit that cheese shop right away.. we just finished eating."

He shuddered slightly when he thought of the cold blue mineral.

except for spending as much time with his new love as possible.
He was still struggling with the lack of lyrium on some days (not common knowledge) and was hoping to distract himself from the intense cravings he still felt.

The egg dish Josephine had recommended was much richer than he was used to but it was delicious. He took a final bite and downed the last of his wine.
He smiled to himself as Alistair went on about cheese and armor.
He didn't have any particular plans for their stay in Val Royeaux

had insisted he try.
He poked at it doubtfully before taking a bite.
"So, what's everybody planning for the day?" he asked as he sat down next to Dorian.
@ch33kydevil.bsky.social
usual rich and heavy foods Orlesian's tended to enjoy along with some lighter fare.
Cullen watched as Alistair heaped piles of cheese, bread and bacon onto his plate with a smile and then followed suit.

Cullen led their horses, Mr.Stealth and Pathfinder to the stables. After making sure they were settled in, he joined Alistair for an evening meal and then had an early night to bed.
The next morning, they all sat down to a lavish Orlesian brunch, complete with the

Josephine,
Please keep Sera out of my office while we're away. I've just had my desk repaired(again). And the chair.
Send her off on a mission or something.

*disgusted noise*
*grumbles* Well stop looking at me then. You must have something better to do surely..
No, I'm not putting a festive hat on.. this is ridiculous. 😤
"I'll make it worth your while...." he adds with another kiss and a smirk.

He rubbed the back of his neck as he eyed the stack of scrolls on his desk.
Alistair walked up to him and cupped both of his cheeks, giving him a long lingering kiss.
Looking in his eyes he says, "Come with me to the city for a few days... We both need some time away to relax."

"He gave me the ol' sad puppy-dog eyes look. I couldn't resist. Have you seen that look? It's so adooorable."
Cullen smiled and then frowned slightly.
"I really don't think I should be going on this trip. I have so much work to do.. piles of paperwork.. the trebuchets need to be recalibrated..."

As Cullen finished packing up his bag, Alistair walked into his tower office with Barkspawn following along behind him.
He arched an eyebrow at them as they entered.
"Are you bringing him along? I thought you were leaving him in the stables..."
Alistair smiled sheepishly.

It's worse that it's real??
Of course it's real. 🙄
*notices the cheesy cartwheel*
Ugh.. SARA!!!! Where is that girl???
*huffily strides away*
Apologies, Seeker..
*he walks away chuckling to himself*
*snickers to himself*
I'm afraid there is no way to change what was written, Seeker. Short of rewriting...
I do wish the Maker(of this platform) would bless us with a better solution..
