Child of The Stone

Solas' P.O.V

I lay awake in my bed. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in The Fade and the choice I had to make. I love her so much. But I don't want to put her in danger. But that's impossible because of who I am. But if I risk it then leave once Corypheus is dealt with, it will hurt her, but keep her out of danger from me. I don't know what to do. In the end, my heart chose for me. I couldn't stay away from her, I love her too much. And I don't want to hurt her. I will stay and do everything I can to protect her from me. I will let her know in the morning, as soon as I see her. I finally fell asleep with a smile on my face.

I woke up and quickly went downstairs. I headed to the room I had been studying Shards in, where I normally am, and where Vhennan will know to find me.

I was studying a painting on the wall when I heard the door open. My heart leapt. I turned around thinking it was her. But no. It was the child of the stone, Varric.

"So... found anything interesting out in The Fade about that orb Corypheus has?" He asked in his extremely low voice.

"Not yet, but I haven't had much of chance, with the whole fighting the Red Templars and everything."

"By everything, does that include flirting with The Inquisitor?"

"I don't know what you mean, child of the stone." What gave him that idea, I wonder.

"Oh don't play innocent, Solas. I heard you talking to The Inquisitor last night. Something to do with something that happened neither of you forgot and risking being in a relationship from what I heard." Him knowing won't end well.

"You must be mistaken, we were simply discussing some of my more interesting finds in The Fade. The risking part you must have misheard, it was about the risk of attacking Corypheus. What have you the idea of us being in a relationship?" I said thinking of an excuse quickly. I will have to discuss this with my heart once I tell her I'm willing to risk us.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sure, Solas, I'm sure. I had noticed how close you guys were, and you did carry her to her bedchambers last night" Shit. I thought no one saw that. I need to pay more attention to my surroundings than staring and taking in every little detail about her beautiful face and how she curled up to me while I carried her bridal style in my arms.

"She fell asleep on the couch in here, she was lying there as I studied and occasionally we would initiate a conversation, they didn't last long except a rare few, she was obviously tired and I didn't want to keep her from her sleep so I carried her to her chambers." Hopefully, he believes me, it's believable as he wasn't in here to know the details of how she fell asleep.

"Alright then Solas, I believe you." Thank The Maker. He believed me. I rather he didn't know that I took her to The Fade and what happened while we were there.

"What's not to believe? What I said is true."

"I know what I heard, that's why. I won't tell anyone, I promise. But I do love to here about this, it's like a good story, interesting and can't wait to see how it will end.."

"No, you may not write a book on a supposed relationship between The Inquisitor and I, child of the stone." He doesn't need a new bestseller, and I don't want him to write a book about The Inquisitor and me.

"Aww, would've made a good storyline for my next romance novel. Not that I'm too good at writing them. Maybe I could make it a cross between crime and romance, I could write that! But I won't, just for you Solas."

"Good. Now is there anything else you wanted, child of the stone?" I wanted him gone, I wanted no one else here when Vhennan comes to visit, if she does. I hope she does.
