I can only hope. I'd have to take over a whole ship just to get us all in one place.

[But more importantly...]

Was there something you needed?

[serves]

Cassandra and Bull would surely inspire you to do so.

[And he quickly shakes his head.]

I just wanted to know how you're doing. Is there anything you need?

[dawnwillcome]

Bull definitely, but Cassandra might be another story. But by then hopefully we'd have Josephine to smooth over any wrinkles our coup had caused.

[She should have expected that, really. He gets another smile and she shakes her head, too.]

No, I got just about everything I needed on Mor. And anyway, I'm the Inquisitor, you're supposed to come to me with requests, not the other way around.

[serves]

Or Leliana could handle the whole thing and get us a ship before we even realized what happened.

[He misses Josephine and Leliana more than he ever thought he would. They've become good friends of his without his noticing.]

I could be asking Jove and not the Inquisitor.

[dawnwillcome]

If I know Leliana, she'd be in charge of the whole fleet in the space of a week. Two, if she fancies a bit of a break from her work.

[And oh good, now she's drawn up short by how sweet that was. Cullen's just on a roll today.]

Well, Jove is doing just fine too. I do miss the villa, though. It was nice, being able to just walk down the hallway and see anyone I wanted to.

[serves]

As do I. I'm not fond of these ships.

[In other words, HE HATES THEM.]

[dawnwillcome]

Do you get motion sick like Dorian does?

[serves]

[He clears his throat.]

At times.

[dawnwillcome]

There's a mixture of herbs that you can brew into a tea to drink to help with that, you know. I have some, I'd been looking for it to help Dorian, but there's more than enough for you as well. If you want to come to the Pathstone for it, it's all yours.

[serves]

If it's no trouble...

[dawnwillcome]

I invited you, Cullen. You're never any trouble, so just come, alright?

[serves]

I will. Wait for me?

[Travel montage as Cullen figures out how the fuck to get there! But he does. Because he'd figure anything out to see Jove.]

[dawnwillcome]

[When he arrives and finds her room, because she trusts him to figure it out and not need any help, he'll find her standing at a small table mixing together some dried herbs. There's no armor today, no Inquisitor pajamas, just the tanktop and flight suit provided by the fleet. The arms of the jumpsuit are tied around her waist and her feet are, as usual, bare. Even her hair is down from the usual ponytail, the ends just brushing her shoulders.

There's plants everywhere, climbing up the walls and resting in pots on nearly every surface, making the whole thing look like something he could see in the garden of Skyhold on a particularly good day. She's even humming softly as she works, not having noticed him quite yet.]

[serves]

[Cullen steps behind her quietly, hands carefully settling on her waist and lips brushing against her hair.]

[dawnwillcome]

[She tenses, just a little, because lately men coming up behind her hasn't tended to lead to the best things, but Cullen's hands are familiar now and when she turns to look and sees him, she relaxes and smiles at him.

No pulling away, not stopping him from leaving that sweet kiss against her hair. Just a smile and a gentle nudge with her shoulder.]

Hello to you too.

[serves]

You're looking lovely today. [Even out of her element, she finds a way. He glances at her room before brushing her hair away from her neck, not even really giving the action much thought. ]

[dawnwillcome]

Why do I feel like you would say that even if I was covered in boils?

[Which isn't to take away from his sweetness, but it's hard to deny that Cullen thinks far more highly of her than he probably should.

When his fingers brush her neck, she turns her head to look up at him.]

How are you feeling?

[serves]

Better. [Being near her always lifts his mood, makes him smile before he can catch himself.]

I like what you've done to the place. How are you?

[dawnwillcome]

[Cullen stop you are too cute.]

You do? [She sounds genuinely surprised for a second, but then it makes sense.] Well, I suppose you're not any more used to all the metal than I am.

And I'm feeling just fine. Why don't you sit? I'll make that tea for you.

[serves]

[Is there a chair? Then he goes for that. If not, it's the edge of the bed.]

I do like nature, I'll have you know.

[dawnwillcome]

[It's the edge of the bed for him, because who even needs chairs. Her back is to him as she fills a cup with water, but she's smiling at his defense.]

I never said you didn't, but it's still a surprise to hear humans appreciate a space like this. I thought you all liked stone walls and statues of dogs.

[serves]

Is there a problem with that? [He likes dogs :( even stone ones.]

[dawnwillcome]

Of course not. I'd have saved one of those statues of the halla from the Winter Palace if we didn't need them for those stupid doors.

[With the herbs added to the water, Jove turns back to Cullen so she can speak to him face to face, and slowly steam starts to rise from the cup. Hope you don't mind magically heated water, Cullen.]

I can give you a plant to take back to your ship, if you like.

[serves]

[He doesn't even glance at the cup.]

Do you think you could part with one?

[It's a joke. Because she has a lot.]

[dawnwillcome]

I think I could manage. And if I start to miss it too much I can just come visit it on your ship.
