The Wolf and the Halla

Friendly Affairs

The group had spent all evening in the tavern. Everyone was laughing and having fun. Adani even caught Solas with a smile on his face a couple of times. She couldn't help but keep looking at him. She noticed that he was looking back at her. She took a drink from her tankard to hide her blush.

"Hey, Chuckles. When we were fighting that bear earlier I didn't think you'd hold out." Said Varric playfully.

"Ahh. If I recall you were the one hiding behind a tree." Solas said with a smirk. His leg brushed against hers under the table and she tried to pretend she didn't notice.

"Hey! I wasn't hiding! I was in cover like any sane person would have been." Varric said. "Actually any sane person would have ran away."

Cassandra laughed, "You cannot outrun a bear. Especially with your short legs." They all laughed at that.

"Alright, Seeker. Maybe you're right. But that doesn't mean I was hiding from battle... Or maybe I was. I mean bears are really big."

After a few hours Adani decided to get ready for bed. She said goodbye to her companions and headed for the small house she'd been staying in. After she had gotten all washed up and was getting ready to lie down she heard a knock at her door. "Just a moment!" She said. And hurried to put on something more decent than her breast cloth and underwear.

She opened the door to Solas. "Oh, hello Solas." She said. Embarrassed at her attire now and wishing she would have put on something other than the mix matched clothing she had on now. A pair of green trousers quickly thrown on and not even buttoned, and a red shirt that clearly wasn't hers. It resembled something Varric would wear. It even had a low cut front showing the top of dark skinned breasts. She pulled it up a bit.

"Hello, I was hoping to steal a moment of your time", he said.

"Of course. Come in", she motioned for him to enter and he did. She closed the door and turned to see him sitting in one of the chairs. "So. What can I help you with?"

"I have sensed an ancient elven artifact in the Hinterlands. I had hoped we might travel there." He said.

"Uhh, sure. I'd love to." I'd love to? It isn't a date Adani. "I mean I'd love to see it. The artifact I mean." She blushed and looked away. Why do I always stammer and blush when he's around.

"Excellent. I will be ready." He said. He didn't get up to leave however. Instead he turned his head a bit and looked at her. "Do you believe you are the Herald of Andraste?" He asked.

She smiled. "Not really. I mean I respect their beliefs, but its not what I believe."

"What is it that you believe, Lavellan?" He asked.

"I believe in Elven Gods, of course." She said while motioning towards her vallaslin.

"Ah, yes. Why did you choose Mythal?"

"I always identified with Mythal more than others. I always felt like if my clan were threatened I would stand to protect them. I also have a great deal of love for people," she stated. "I always feel I should try and understand them and respect them."

"I see." He said looking away. A shadow on his face. "I must go." He stood and walked to the door. She followed and stood in the frame once opened.

"Okay. We'll talk later" she said after him.

He turned back and looked at her. "Goodbye". He said with a smile. Then turned and left.
