Borderless

The Odd Mammoths

Anthony stared at his new armor . As one of them who fought alongside the Rohirrim he was given armor to fit that part . 

He didn't like it and wished that he never accepted it . Yes ,the embroidery looked good and such ,but he really didn't need new armor now  . It was almost like when he became Inquisitor . He got new ones constantly .

A soft sigh escapes his lips and like many times before he lifts his hand to touch the amulet around his neck .

His thoughts turns to Siri .  She may have hurt him so many times ,but he still loved her . He wanted to let go ,but every time he thought of her ,his love for her grew .

He shook his head . No !. He had decided to let go and show her one day ,now he was thinking of her like a love sick puppy again.

He squares his shoulders and takes a deep breath before he reaches out to pick up the armor .

He'll wear them and not complain . He was a strong man . He had gone
through the Fade twice and lived to tell the tale . What was new armor ?. Nothing....

Siri stared at the ship they had fought for . She wasn't sure that she'd want to board a ship that was a bit filthy .

A hand touching her arm causes her to turn her head to see who it was that had the audacity to touch her without permission.

Her eyes meets Solas's . He didn't say or indicate anything . All he did was  look at her .

The corners of her lips turns up into an involuntary smile .

He squeezes her arm and smiles back .

" So are we going or not ?", Varric asks behind them eyeing them with a knowing look .

Letting go of her arm Solas answers " Of course ,Varric, why don't you board the ship and we'll follow".

Varric shakes his head "No, I am waiting for you two to do that , dwarves aren't made for sailing the seas and now me and poor old Gimli has no choice to sail too".

Solas chuckles softly at Varric's words .

" Well, Shorty, I guess we both don't like ships , I for one truly hated the Northern Maiden and still do even if I haven't seen it for a long time now ", Siri says while her eyes are glued to the elf who wasn't bald anymore .

His hair was short and it had a gold tinge to it . She wasn't sure if he had red or gold  hair . His grey eyes were an odd contrast to his hair though and so she wonders how that could be .

His chuckle made his eyes twinkle and he looked more handsome than before .

She felt her heart begin to flutter like it had fluttered with Anthony .

She frowns at this . When did she stop feeling so much for Anthony ?. When did her feelings for Solas outweighed her feelings for Anthony?.

Snap out of it ,Siri !,she shouts inside her mind . Solas isn't the one you want , the one you need .

" Oh ,I know that ,Icy, but why do we need to go by ship?",Varric interrupts her thoughts .

Siri sighs, then shrugs . "I don't know ,Varric , ask Aragorn ,his the boss".

Varric rolls his eyes before stomping off to go search for Aragorn .Hoping he'll have answers .

Feeling suddenly very shy that she's alone with Solas now ,Siri steels herself to not look at him in case his eyes are on her .
