12th [Video]

[Alex just looks relieved when the journal feed begins.]

So, I know that maybe it's a bit too much to ask, but... can we hope for a bit of 'normalcy' for a time? I know it's hard to ask that in the grand scheme of things, when normal equates to being in a medieval keep where stone crocodiles come to life and try to eat you, but...

[A half shrug.]

I'll take what little reprieves I can get at this point.

This... made me both b'awww and d'awwwww ILU ANDERS

[No. No, there is not, is there? But this is often the case, really... particularly when things are Keep associated. The Keep can give a shit if its quirks bring couples to their knees and shake their relationships to the very foundation.

Alex meets Anders' gaze without flinching and if the Mage looks, he might even see that he genuinely looks calm and collected. The Were hadn't seen this coming, but the steps were to work through it, not blow up.]

Anders, love... I think many of us have come to realize that there is something about this place that otherwise circumvents our abilities as they might have been prior to our arrival within its walls.

[Big words to the Kitty-man! At the last response his expression softens and his hands lift to cup Anders' face.]

And I know you wouldn't. The fact that you came here tells me that you wouldn't.

[He'd tried so hard not to make a mistake. Not to blow this to the Void as he'd done everything in Thedas. Justice hated it. The spirit would like nothing better than to see this end.]

[No matter what the man would want.]

It's not...

[But the rest of the protest sort of dies before he can get it out. He meets the other man's eyes, finally.]

... I wouldn't do anything to harm you, either. Maker, I couldn't even dream of it.

[allthesame2me]

[Oh, Anders. Sometimes things just weren't in our own control and you find yourself along for the ride whether you wish to be or not.

And Justice is kinda a dick. Just sayin'.

He smiles softly as Anders finally looks up and meets his gaze, his hands never fully straying from the mage's skin.]

I'd hate to think you would, dearheart.

[His voice is soft as he meets and holds Anders' gaze.]

It's okay, love. Really.
