Unlike No Other (DA:I FANFIC)

"You what?"

The rain started to continue, it was nothing more than a soft drizzle.

You became worried, Dorian left you without telling you where he would be.

With the rings stashed somewhere, you left. You didnt want to stay around and wait for who knows how long.

You decide to call a meeting, now that the Winter Palace was done you had to figure out your next plan of attack.

Cassandra, Josephine, and Leliana all showed up pretty fast. For the first time, Cullen was late.

"What do you think he could be doing?" Josie looked at Leliana.

"I heard he was going to recruit more refugees." Leliana said back.

"He already did that. It was this morning." Cass spoke up.

"Well we can't start the meeting without him, we need his say in these."
You look at everyone.

"You're right." Cassandra huffed. "We'll have to wait."

She pulled up a chair and sat. Everyone continued talking.

"You seem stressed." You look at Cass, she was twisting her fingers. She looked up at you, her eyes were glazed over.

"Its nothing Inquisitor. Don't waste your time with me."

"Cass," you sit in the chair next to her. "What is it?"

"Cullen talked of a life he wished for. He longs for. He's wanting to start life with Elissa. We're slowly starting to disband. I say a few more battles together then..." she sighed.

It was like your dream... what's going on....

"Think on the bright side of this Cassandra. There's no need to be down, we're together now. We're a family. Nothing will separate us."

Cassandra's face soften, she liked that.

"I guess you're right." She smiled.

The door opened. Cullen walked in, flustered. Maybe from embarrassment?

"Sorry I am late. I had matters to deal with." Cullen sighed out.

In the brief quietness, Josephine and Leliana giggled.

"Did the matters involve ...her?" Josphine laughed.

"Who are you talking about?" Cullen looked at her.

"Elissa Maeryn Cousland Theirirn." Leliana said.

Everyone looked at her.

"I've done my research." She said triumphly.

Josephine and Cassandra looked surprised.

"She's a..." Josie started

"Theirirn..." Cass finished.

"So...?" Cullen knotted his eyebrows.

"She's royalty! She's the Queen!" Josphine looked like she was going to faint.

"She resigned from that, she's nothing but a mere scout in the inquisition." Cullen mumbled.

"Cullen you can't just.. stop being king or queen. You're a king or queen until death or if you've been exiled." You looked at him. "Even I know that."

"Oh! Our little cub has grown up to be a lion! Such a wonderous day!" Josie was filled with glee. "He's in love with royalty, a perfect place for him."

You enjoyed the fact that they call him a Lion, it was funny to see his face change.

He earned his nickname from the lion like mane on his pauldrons.
