Who: Leliana
Broadcast: Yes
Action: aboard the Blue Fish
When: now

[Have a redhead nun/rogue on your feed, fleeters. Someone took a bit of a nap this week and now has new memories? And also questions.]

I apologize if my absence was noticed by my crew or those I speak to in the Interfaith Center. It seems Atroma enjoys putting me to sleep for long periods of time - though the question is "How long?" I suppose. Should I expect any ill effects from repeated instances like these?

[Though she was a bit groggy waking up.]

It seems time passed much more quickly while I was asleep. It felt as if I had returned home again and time had passed there as it normally does here. Two years passed there while it feels as if no time has passed here at all.

[Private message to Riona]

It seems the Inquisitor saw fit to elect me as Divine in Justinia's place, since you and I last spoke.

Good morning, Sister.

[Wolfe smiles at her through the feed. He's curious to hear any news about how Thedas has progressed, even if it's technically not his and Anders' version, but so many things were left unresolved when they woke up here... It's impolite to just bombard her with questions though.]

I haven't heard anything about ill effects, but I haven't been through it myself. As for the amount of time, I haven't seen you since we talked about putting together a Wicked Grace night and that was about a month ago. I'm not sure if it's been that long since you fell asleep, though. Just since I saw you.
wolfehawke: (Speechless)

I didn't think so, but you never kn- wait, what?

[He stares for a long moment, not quite slack-jawed but certainly surprised. He knew her name had been tossed around in rumor but he didn't think she actually had a chance given her beliefs regarding mages and Templars. He'd told Anders as much but largely kept the opinion to himself. Sure, he would love to see her on the Sunburst Throne, then maybe there could actually be some real, effective, and long lasting change. But to actually hear that that's happened?]

Are you serious?
wolfehawke: (catch yur drift)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-01-10 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure I could get used to calling you Most Holy after you've threatened to send me home from Wicked Grace in nothing but my shame.

[He laughs, but there's an odd note to it, something disbelieving.]

I... I can hardly believe it. You're really Divine? What, um...

[He fidgets. So atypical of him, but he fidgets with his fingers for a moment before he asks.]

What are you going to do?

[He would make a joke about gambling and what's considered okay by Chantry standards but then she drops a bomb on him and he's left completely speechless. Struck completely dumb. He stares at her. Or past her. His eyes unfocus and all he can hear over and over are her words.

I abolished the Circle of Magi.

Abolished the Circle.

The Circle is gone. At least one Thedas has free mages.

Something warm and wet hits his cheek and Adalwolfe reaches up to wipe a tear from his cheek with a choked laugh.]


I'm sure whatever's left of the Templars loves you for that.
wolfehawke: (Speechless)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-01-16 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
But under their own direction?

[He imagines it to be more like the school Hermione spoke about from her world. A place of learning instead of a place of control and subjugation.]

And the mages can go home, keep in contact with their families and the like?
wolfehawke: (Well I'll Be)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-02-04 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That's astounding. It doesn't seem real.

[He sits back, hand over his mouth and chin in some mixture of awe and... something. He's not even sure what. Gratitude? Disbelief? It seems so foreign that suddenly everything is better. Not perfect, of course. Adalwolfe of all knows the ugliness that comes from hateful people who don't get their way (Petrice comes to mind) but it's such leaps and bounds beyond what Wolfe ever thought would be achieved with the start of the war. He'd had his doubts. He'd hoped, he'd planned, and he knew with conviction that something had to change, but all this? He'd never thought it possible.]

Anders needs to be told. This is...

[He breathes out heavily.]

Wow.
wolfehawke: (these hills sing)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-02-07 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, of course, I'm sorry you're probably still needing to wake up more and sort things out.

[He feels just a bit giddy. It's not his Thedas, he knows that, but the face that it's possible in any Thedas means its possible in theirs. He imagines the look on Anders' face, almost asks her not to tell him so he can have that pleasure for himself. But no, no he needs to hear it from her. He needs to hear it from the person who was there and made it happen, not second hand.]

I, uh. I don't think you missed too much here in the fleet this time, at least. But Maker's breath...

[He's still in awe. He can't help it. This news is everything.]

Thank you.

[He's a fairly sincere person, but even so this is the most earnest he's ever been in his life.]

I can't even begin to-- just. Thank you.
wolfehawke: (soft smile)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-02-20 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I know that. I know your Thedas isn't even the same one as mine, but just the fact that someone, somewhere, cares enough to even try, it... That's what I'm thanking you for.

[He takes in a breath and lets it go slowly.]

My father was forced to do terrible things just in order to have a family. To know that in some Thedas that doesn't have to happen, that a mage can freely fall in love and raise children without the Chantry trying their damnedest to stop it, that means more than I have words to express.

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-02-21 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, nothing ever is, but with someone in your position making the changes, then maybe people's minds will change.

[He smirks ruefully.]

You know, if nothing else explodes.
wolfehawke: (half smile)

[Give him a moment, he never expected the Divine to ask about his love life. Not that he doesn't enjoy talking about his love life because he really does.]

Not for lack of wanting to on my part but in Kirkwall before the rebellion I was nobility so our relationship, though not exactly private, wasn't really considered... I don't know, valid? by the rest of the aristocracy considering we're both men and therefore can't produce a child. And pissing off the nobles at that point would have just pissed off Meredith - though frankly I think she was just pissed off in general and I should have said hang it all, but there were issues with, y'know, Anders being the Darktown Healer being the worst kept secret in the city and finding a Sister to do the ceremony would have required our arrest afterwards, and a whole mess of other problems like Anders not technically having said yes even though I've asked him several times and then going on the run and well.

[He's just going to gloss over the Anders not technically answering him part. He hasn't said no, and in fact said he wants to, but it's just never been a good time and Hawke had told him he would always be ready, so the ball was in the healer's court and has been for some time.]

The short answer is no, we're not. I even told Varric to write it into the book actually but he wouldn't.
wolfehawke: (Pouty)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-03-07 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing would really change if we did exchange vows. Nothing for me anyway. I don't know about Anders, he's more devout than I am and maybe he believes there's just something... wrong with us in the eyes of Andraste. I don't know, and if he does then frankly I think that's hogwash. No offense meant, of course.

[He ads the last quickly, waving his hands briefly as if that negates any offense she might have taken to him calling Andraste's opinion hogwash.]

I know there's none of the pressures here anymore, but he hasn't brought it up again and I swore to him I wouldn't either unless he brought it up first. I'm not going to break that no matter how much I may want to.

[Or maybe should. Maybe Anders has just forgotten? But if he has than Wolfe might... be a little put out...]
wolfehawke: (That's the stuff)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-03-16 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, not at all, I'm just trying to reconcile it.

[He gives a wan smile, more unhappy than he lets on that Anders hasn't said a word on it after years. They'd almost come close to talking about it the night Anders had been freed of Justice, but he'd balked at bringing it up. Anders was entirely too drunk for anything he said to be taken to heart anyway. In not asking, he'd saved both their feelings. At least, that's what he tells himself.

That wan smile is quickly replaced with something more jovial.]


Besides! Not everyone is here. It'd be a shame to marry without the rest of our family in attendance.

[Varric, Aveline, Merrill... Carver. He'd always wanted Carver as his best man, though he'd never said as much considering how Carver had treated Anders with such surly distaste. Even still, Carver is his brother, and he loves him dearly, whatever his (enormous and obvious) faults.

Maker's balls he misses Carver so badly. It's like missing a limb.]
wolfehawke: (soft smile)

[personal profile] wolfehawke 2017-03-18 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I could find them all even if I wasn't in an entire separate world, but... yes. It won't be the same, when it does happen.

[He smiles gently, a covering smile meant to focus on positive instead of the heavy realization that none of his blood relations will be at his wedding when and if it does happen. Anders wouldn't have anyone either. Except...]

Riona would be there for Anders though, I think he'd want that. She's incredibly important to him, as I'm sure you know.
