Date: 2015-02-05 01:36 am (UTC)[Who has two pointy ears and the chance to actually sleep through the entire night instead of being woken up at all hours to deal with new and exciting ways for the world to fall apart? That would be this Inquisitor right here, so when she gets the call she isn't entirely pleased about it. But then it's Dorian's voice, Dorian's face, and she swipes a hand across her eyes and sits up, gives him a smile.]
Dorian. How wonderful was it?
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 01:39 am (UTC)[He smiles a bit.]
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 01:43 am (UTC)[This seems impossible, what is happening.]
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 01:45 am (UTC)[Really narrowing it down there, Dorian.]
We talked. We talked about revolution. And other things. It was marvelous.
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 02:09 am (UTC)[And she's really not awake enough for this, if such a thing exists.]
Do you realize you're making no sense? What revolution can you start here?
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 02:12 am (UTC)[And he drunkenly shushes her.]
No, no, when we return home. We're going to Tevinter. I have to sort out the minutia, but we're going to change things. You are, of course, welcome to join us.

Date: 2015-02-05 02:17 am (UTC)That Avvar who threw goats at my castle should have gotten his weapons by now, you can ask him to help as well.
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 02:45 am (UTC)[He leans over, ferreting around in his bed for something, and pulls out a bottle of whiskey, uncapping it and taking a swig.
May as well just keep drinking.
He murmurs in Tevene for a few moments, and then seamlessly leads into their shared tongue.]
...Jove, do you think it is possible that I could find a man? There were two earlier that I saw, despite their coarseness, they seemed happy. They said they were to wed. I didn't think that was possible.
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 02:53 am (UTC)Of course you can, Dorian. Not only that, you will find someone. I'll make sure of it however I have to.
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 02:58 am (UTC)[He takes another drink.]
You're a better friend than I deserve. Should you find someone, do let me know, won't you? I get terribly lonely at times and wouldn't argue against someone obligated to fawn over me.
[And at the last he smiles, but there are tears in his eyes. He's been so alone, for so many years, never having known actual love. And not the chance it may exist for him...it seems too good to be true.]
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 03:10 am (UTC)It's like that in Thedas, Dorian. It's closer than you think.
[It comes out softer than she means it to because she so desperately wants him to believe it, to have hope in something that had once seemed so small. Inquisitor or not, she's seeing less and less problems in marching into Tevinter and lighting every magister she can find on fire.]
And I will, but it's going to take time. It has to be someone worthy of you, someone who won't try to take advantage. Someone good for you.
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 03:17 am (UTC)[He says it almost apologetically.
And then he nods, and wipes at his face, steadying himself. It's bittersweet, knowing that something like that was so close, but still so far. He knew she was right, but part of him was desperate, wondering with every man that he spoke with, was there ever a chance they could be with him?
More and more often, it seemed like no.]
Thank you. You're a far better friend than I deserve. Were I able, I would even kiss your cheek, but for now, consider it a debt owed.
[He yawns.]
I've found a proper bed. It's only myself but...I suppose it's better than a cot for the night. Goodnight, my dear.
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 03:23 am (UTC)But he's never been anything but devoted to his homeland, and even if she hates that it tears him up this way begging him to stay away for his own safety seems cruel. What if he did, just to please her? Out of fear he might lose such a close friend? She wouldn't - couldn't - risk that.]
We've only a few days left. I'd share with you, if you wanted. I'm lacking a few of the parts you're drawn to, but I wouldn't want you to feel so lonely.
Sleep well, Dorian. I'll contact you tomorrow.
[And every day after that until they've been reunited.]
Video;
Date: 2015-02-05 03:29 am (UTC)We will see what happens, hmm? I'll have to find a better room, and enough blankets to smother the entire Inquisition. And I suppose I could not blame you for wanting to be so close to someone with my looks, after all.
[That feels a bit better, safer.]
I look forward to it.
