Waystation Mingle Log!
Who: GAME-WIDE MINGLE aka everyone
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The Stations!
When: From 04/05 through the month of April.
[Well, that all sure happened. But at least you have the waystations! Whether you want to stock up on supplies, work, trade, or visit the very fancy Virtual Reality Dome, it's bound to be a nice break from the attacks of the 5th.
Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

[He comes up closer, sitting by the throne and looking out at the empty hall.]
Dalish don't live in a single place, do they?
no subject
Not usually. Sometimes we'll stop if we know we're in a place humans won't visit, but even then it wasn't common for us to stay more than a month or two.
no subject
Why?
no subject
[But that isn't the only reason, and keeping things from Cole is both pointless and not something she wants to do, so after a moment Jove sighs softly.]
And... well, you must hear what people think of elves. We try to keep away from them whenever we can.
no subject
I'm lucky. They can't see what I am, so long as I don't tell them.
[It was a revolutionary idea for him when he'd first had it. He didn't have to tell people he was a spirit. And if he didn't say it, they wouldn't know.]
no subject
no subject
What does shemlen mean to you?
no subject
[And that... is a very odd question. It should be straightforward, but this is Cole. Things are very rarely straightforward with him.]
It's our word for a human. Have you never heard it before?
no subject
What does being an adult have to do with feeling pain? Adults feel pain.
[He nods.]
I know what it means. I've heard it before. But what does it mean to you?
no subject
[She's still not entirely sure what Cole is after with his insistence she define the word, but instead of losing patience she just thinks harder about it. What does the word mean, to her?]
I suppose... it's just a comfort, for me. I miss my people. I miss my home, and slipping a Dalish word in here and there, it lets me feel a little more connected to what I've lost. What we've all lost, as elves. Does that make sense?
no subject
[Maybe he can't. It's something cultural, to mortals, the idea of becoming an adult and he just doesn't understand it. Maybe because Other-Cole was never a child in the ways that mattered.]
I think that makes sense. It reminds you of your clan. But here, everyone is lost and has lost. But in different ways.
You have Solas.
no subject
I do have Solas. Maybe he can help explain the vallaslin, there's a lot I can't answer because of how much has been lost over time.
no subject
I might ask him. I more wanted to know about if it hurt. And how they did it. Cultural things... I don't understand.
no subject
[There's... more, there, but it's so small and buried under guilt and doubt, but it's impossible not to think of Solas' hand in hers, his gentle smile. Yes, she's glad he's there to teach her, but it's more than that.
She may be in trouble.]
I can tell you my experiences with the vallaslin if you like. It may not help make it clear, though.
no subject
[Cole touches the back of her hand, fingertips callused.]
He wants to be with you. She smells like home and my chest feels less hollow, the gaping holes softened. Spending time with you makes life ache less.
no subject
That's... I'm not sure that's something he'd want you to tell me, Cole. I'm glad I make him feel better, though.
no subject
no subject
[She turns her hand and catches Cole's fingers, threads hers through his to hold his hand and squeezes it lightly.]
You're part of why I feel better and lighter and fuller, Cole. You know that, right?
no subject
He doesn't answer with words, just hums softly.]
I'm sorry I'm not the Cole you knew.

no subject
[But Cadash is a name she's never heard before, when it came to Inquisitors. Arhen had been of clan Lavellan just like she had, but this is entirely new.]
Would you mind telling me about the Inquisitor you know? I have to admit I'm very curious.
no subject
She... wore her tattoos as proudly as you do. They meant something very different, but she was proud of them. She flirted with everyone, even Vivienne, because it annoyed her.
She shaved the sides of her head, like Dorian and Cremisius, but the rest grew long. She pinched Cullen's bottom at Halamshiral and blamed one of the nobles nearby.
She sent Varric after me when I was going to kill the templar who murdered me. He told me that being a person doesn't get easier, but they made it a bit easier. Solas looked at me like I was one of the shemlen who killed his friend.
[Which might go some way to explaining his uncertainty with Solas when he first arrived.]
She was so angry at Bianca for betraying Varric. For not seeing how lucky she was to have him. But she flirted with Dorian and Cullen over chess instead.
no subject
You must miss her.
no subject
But there are other people and they're not the same, but it stops me noticing that she's not here as much.
