[Dragon Age] Letters To Henry

6 - Revelations

"Ash?" Lady Pentaghast calls out when she hears the door to their quarters squeak as it opens and then closes again, she hears the sound of two heavy feet walking up the steps and the sound of a mans booted steps. "Ash is that you?" Cassandra calls out again jumping to her feet from where she sits on the edge of the bed, dropping the boots she was trying to force her still damp feet into onto the floor. The Seeker moves quickly towards the stairs ready to throw herself into her lover's arms, no matter how angry she feels for his actions the worry of his fate was much stronger.

"No, sorry.." The Commander calls in reply as the Seeker sees his head appear at the top of the stairs. "Sorry, it's just me." Cullen adds as he takes the final step into the Inquisitor and the Seekers rooms. Cassandra watches him look around the room, probably wondering if she had spent the time since he had brought her here and out of the rain, destroying things. The Seeker tries to hide the disappointment and the worry from her eyes when she sees him try and give her a reassuring smile.

"Cullen.." Lady Pentaghast sighs turning to go back to where she has discarded her boots, she drops to sit on the bed again continuing to try and slide her feet into them. Cassandra huffs slightly when they still resist because her toes are still damp from the drenching she received, earlier in the day.

"I just wanted to check on you.." The Commander says cautiously, he wasn't going to ask if she was okay and the Seeker appreciated that he knew it was pointless to even ask. She wasn't okay, she was trying very hard to stop the tears from falling again and trying to not have the Commander see her fall apart, so she swallows hard. Cassandra appreciated his concern for her, he always had it and she thought he always would. He had been on the sharp end of her tongue many times and yet he still came back to her with a listening ear and comforting shoulder. "Where are you going?" Cullen asks watching her sigh angrily when she can't lace up her boots while trying to blink back the tears.

"I need to find him.." Cassandra replies trying to keep her voice even "I need to bring him home before he gets himself killed." The Seeker sniffs again feeling ashamed of her distress, her Inquisitor was going through the grief that she remembered all too well and she was sitting crying over her fear of being without him.

"Don't be ridiculous." Cullen sighs stepping further into the room, The Seeker glances up from her spot on the bed to see that he has some time ago removed his armour and is now dressed more comfortable in a shirt and breeches, she notices his usually controlled locks are looking a little unruly from the rain. He had got soaked to the skin too when they'd been waiting for Henry to arrive.

"Do not call me ridiculous." Cassandra snaps starting to feel angry, he had no idea how this felt. She had watched her Inquisitor receive the worst news that he could possibly receive; his brother had been killed because of a choice he had made. Now Lord Trevelyan was out there, with revenge on his mind, unarmed and hardly dressed for the storm that currently batters Skyhold. "I need to stop them from.." The Seeker sobs grief washing over her again. "They will kill him, Cullen, he didn't take any weapons.." She adds biting her lip to try and stop herself from crying again, this wasn't the kind of woman she was. "If he even reaches them before the weather gets him." Cassandra frowns when Cullen shakes his head looking angry.

"If you hadn't noticed there is a storm outside." The Commander snaps back at her, The Seeker watches him point to the large glass window and door that leads to their balcony Cassandra follows the direction of his finger and sees the rain still pounding hard against the glass, the wind howling making the building groan under the gusts.

"I can see that." Lady Pentaghast huffs again, looking back from the raging storm outside to her boots. "He can only be a few hours ahead of me If I can just.." The Seeker adds standing up.
