Summary
“I don’t go around looking for someone to warm my tent! If I was, I wouldn’t pick a hedge mage! Of all places, why would I be looking for romance here?! My mission has always come first! Solas is—” She stopped, as if realizing she had just hit a wall. In a heartbeat, her voice softened. “He’s an accident. He didn’t invite this attention to himself—it just…happened. He opens my eyes, Mahanon. He…stills…my fears. He makes me better. I am braver because of him.” She unfurled her fist and stance, like one accepting defeat. Her voice trembled. “Mahanon, please…the clan already owns my life; must it have a say in this, too?”
It was only then that Solas regained the sense to turn around and walk away. He needed the space to breathe. As he was walking away, he heard her say, “If it makes you feel any better, Solas doesn’t care for me that way. We’re just friends. That’s all we can afford to be.”
