					<div class="bbWrapper">It the morning tasted bitter to the Inquisitor's skin, a land permanently caught between an early morning thunderstorm and the short winter months of her homeland. The trees surrounding her offered her no comfort, the leaves made of patterns unfamiliar to her eye. Only the stars held something of home, the constellations sometimes lining up with the stories her Baba told her as a child. But Merche no longer did listen to such stories of heroes and villains with awe, and words could no longer lull her to sleep. So she watched the stars, charted their movements on the balcony of her too large suite.<br>
<br>
<br>
So, she was awake to see Varric stalk out the room of his room, hugging shadows as his head twitched from side to side. She watched with interest, his quick walk towards the gate of the castle. His feet skipped slightly, and she noticed a happiness in his posture she had yet to encounter.<br>
<br>
<br>
Money exchanged hands, and the side door opened to reveal another cloaked figure. The two embraced quickly before disappearing again, this time into the tavern. A brief thought occurred to follow them, her pride mildly wounded by the lack of scruples amongst her guard members. It passed with the breeze, however. Varric's action always had purpose, not matter what he said otherwise. She would watch silently, as she so often did, and wait until he presented... whoever to her.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Smoke billowed from the pipe that hung lazily out the side of his mouth, swirling about his face and pouring through his nostrils. It wasn't a roaring hearth or a warm scarf around his nose and mouth, but it prevented the mountain air from freezing his nostrils shut. Had it been anyone else summoning him to an extravagant stronghold settled in the most miserable climate ever, he'd have burned that letter and continued on his merry way. But Lance simply couldn't turn down his dwarven friend. And he couldn't turn down the opportunity to get a look at this 'Inquisition' Varric had spoken of in the most recent letters.<br>
<br>
<br>
But more so for that dwarf, whom had the force of a vice in his arms when he embraced Lance's middle with a nearly spine-snapping hug. Not that he wasn't overjoyed to see his good friend, but the appeal of a warm fire at what seemed to be a tavern nearby outweighed the joy of the reunion.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Did you come all this way to kill me, Varric? My spine is practically encased in ice. May we <i>please </i>continue our conversation indoors---I don't even need to ask. I'm going with you or without you." Lance announced. Varric caught up to him and punched his arm as they headed into the tavern.<br>
<br>
<br>
The heat from the hearth was more than welcome. The hood on his cloak is practically yanked off, and his staff unabashedly brought up to hang on his shoulder. Pulling the pipe from his mouth, he blows a smoke ring into the air as he takes in the sight of the tavern.<br>
<br>
<br>
"A few rats in the rafters, a drunk on the floor, a blood splatter here and there, and this place would feel <i>just </i>like the Hanged Man." Lance said with a sigh.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Varric Tethras had followed on the heels of his best friend, a grin plastered to his face, but when the human paused to comment on the scenery, Varric pushed ahead, striding up the stairs to the most secluded part of the tavern. "You're missing the most important decoration; a game of Wicked Grace," He pointed it out, not because he wanted to suggest a game between the two of them, but because he didn't want the Inquisition to feel too similar to any part of Kirkwall, and their old life. Not when the pain of loss still felt fresh.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Anyhow, let's just get you out of sight before someone sees you and reports to The Seeker. Maker knows Leliana has eyes and ears everywhere." He ushered the young man further of the stairs, to the third floor, where only Cole made his home. After a few choice words, the dwarf convinced the kid to... disappear for a time, preferably without mentioning it to anyone. Then he pulled out the chair from the single table, took a seat, and propped his boots against the edge. Ah, relaxation.<br>
<br>
<br>
"So, tell me everything. How have the last few months been, with the war? And how did you get here so damn fast?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lance adjusted his cloak to where it hung loosely over his shoulders to accompany the warmth of the tavern. It wasn't anything special, he'd frequented more extravagant ones in his travel post-Kirkwall. It failed to carry that strange homey feel that the Hanged Man managed to make him feel. This wasn't a place in Skyhold he could see himself occupying. Following his friend up the stairs, he nudges Varric in the back. "Nonsense. If anyone spots us, you can pin them to the wall with a bolt from Bianca. Then I'll swoop in and finish the job, so to speak." He chuckled, taking a seat across from Varric and retrieving more tobacco for his pipe.<br>
<br>
<br>
"<i>'Everything's'</i> a pretty tall order, Varric." He jested, lighting his pipe and letting it sit. "It's been the same; The World's gone to hell, everyone and their mother are going into conniptions over that 'Big Tear in the Sky', and no one's shutting up about this entire Mage-Templar debacle. If I hear a certain mage's name one more time, I'm going to lose my mind." The pipe is snatched up and he takes a few angry little puffs as he stares out a window. His mind drifts back to the night that was the straw that broke the camel's back.<br>
<br>
<br>
<i>If only I'd done that sooner---</i><br>
<br>
<br>
"Ah, I'm just parroting everything you already know back to you, aren't I? I'd much rather hear some updates from <i>you.</i> As for how I got here, I told the Arishok he owed me a favor after returning his Tome to that lot, so he loaned me a dreadnought to sail across the Waking Sea in a matter of days." Although he said it flatly, that trademark spark in his eyes resonated, a clear sign he was joking.</div>

Knowing his friend had seen his fair share of trouble didn't make Varric feel better, exactly, but more empathetic. He hadn't had the worst time, being interrogated and dragged halfway across Thedas. It was hard to keep that fact in mind when he faced near-death experiences on a weekly basis.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Well," Varric chuckled lightly, "At least the Mage-Templar <i>debacle</i> has sorted itself out. Sort of." He winced thinking of the distorted Templars they had faced in Haven not a month ago. Sure, the civil war had ended, but the estimated loss of life was... insurmountable. Shit, when had he become so macabre? With a slight shake of his head, Varric focused on the lighthearted nature of Lance's tone, in hopes of mimicking it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Clearly, the Mage had walked, or pawned rides off the caravans that now travelled to Skyhold, but either way Varric sensed he'd get no more details unless he released a few of his own. "Well now. What updates could I give you? You'll meet the team soon enough, though I suppose a... warning would be helpful. So you're prepared." Varric then delved into descriptive–if a bit stilted–depictions of the other companions. He spoke of Sera and her pranks, Blackwall's stoicism and appreciation for jousting, Dorian's... flamboyancy, Solas's knowledgeable musings, Cole's mind reading, Vivienne's authoritative presence, Iron Bull's utter lack of Qunari unpleasantness, Cassandra's frequent noises of disgust, and of course the advisors'... advising. He left The Inquisitor for the last, a description for her trickier than the others.<br>
<br>
<br>
"She's doesn't talk a lot, which makes it hard to get a read on her. No one actually knows why was was at the conclave, either. But I've seen her act with kindness and... Well." Varric chuckled a bit, "That's why I stayed here, in spite of Cassandra practically breathing down my neck. I think you'll like her, once you get past that... mask."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Lance leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and nodding. 'Sorted itself out' wasn't the phrase he'd use himself. Now that the Mages were running about and free, what was stopping them from rallying up against the Champion of Kirkwall; the Mage who turned against his own kind and slew mages alongside the templars? Not that it was <i>that </i>big of a threat. Lance was confident he could take on a few measly apostates.<br>
<br>
<br>
He'd opened his eyes once Varric began speaking of his new companions. It managed to make him laugh out loud at some of them. Maker's breath, and he thought<i> his </i>companions were bad? There had to be but one or two that he wouldn't have minded to meet, but the others? How did some of them even work for an organization as influential as the Inquisition?<br>
<br>
<br>
"If I can make a sour elf crack a smile at least once, Varric, I'm positive I can get past any mask that she's donning. That is, if she'll let me." Lance chuckled. His smile quickly disappeared when he saw a figure standing off to the Dwarf's side. A young man with a ridiculous looking hat and a sunken in face stared at him critically. How did he not see someone dressed like <i>that </i>approaching them?<br>
<br>
<br>
"You mind?" Lance said gently. "This is a private conversation---"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Blood." The young man said darkly.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Pardon?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Blood. It's in you. It's what you use. Sometimes your own. Most of the time someone elses. You use theirs to pay. To protect your own. No respect. No regard." The young man looked up at Lance with his lip curled. "You've destroyed so many lives. You've turned down so many people when they needed help. You used your friends. Betrayed them."<br>
<br>
<br>
Lance said nothing in response. He simply hooded his eyes and folded his arms over his chest, unfazed.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Varric." The young man said sharply, keeping his eyes on Lance. "What is he doing here?"</div>

Or, he hoped his friend was there for that reason. From experience he knew how hard it was to tell at times. But thinking about that now wasn't going to help the situation.

He didn't mention that Lancelot's presence was a gift to Varric as well. He didn't mention how the last few months had nearly drowned him–sometimes literally–and right now, Hawke's presence helped him hold on to whatever sanity he had left. He didn't mention how much he missed how things used to be. For  once, he hoped Cole would read his mind, and understand.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Not once did Lance break his gaze on Cole. "Varric's right, young man." He offers a smile. "I'm just here to help the Inquisition. Nothing more, nothing less. Same as you." A lie, all the same. But he didn't doubt that this peculiar man could figure that out, what with the mind-reading Varric had mentioned. Lance had his own reasons for coming here, as anyone else did. Who---or what he was here for was his business and his business alone. "No need to get off on the wrong foot, now. We're all friends here, right, Varric?"<br>
<br>
<br>
"Friends." Cole almost seemed to scoff. "Your friends are gone. Sent away. Dead. Betrayed by your own hand. If being your 'friend' means that, then I want no part of it." Again he looks to Varric. "He's a bad, cruel man, Varric. We'd do best to protect the Inquisitor from him.<br>
<br>
<br>
Lance shrugged and took a long drag on his pipe. "Shame. I'm so <i>charming, </i>too."</div>

<br>
<br>
But Cole was staring him down now, and Varric felt the pressure of loyalty pulling him two different directions. "Cole, why don't you go check on the horses in the stable? I heard one gave birth last night. If you want, I'll meet you over there in a few minutes." He hoped a promise of later interaction would placate the young man.<br>
<br>
<br>
In the meantime, He'd like to set Lancelot up with a room, where he could get some sleep and be out of plain sight. "Hawke," He stood up from his chair, "We can finish our chat later, hmm? Let me show you to your room for the night."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Although Cole was far from done warning Varric about Lance's thoughts and intentions, he decided to step down at Varric's request. A true friend actually <i>listened </i>to the desires and wants of his friends. He knew he was a true friend to Varric, and Varric to him. The last thing he'd wanted was to see a friend get hurt if it could be prevented.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bowing his head, he looks to Varric. "Promise you'll meet me there." Cole says as he turns away. However, he stops a few paces away and turns back to face Lance.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Is there any additional commentary you want to add?" Lance sighed, folding his arms over his chest. "Call me every name in the book if you'd like, don't think I haven't heard it all befo---"<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><i>"Forget."</i></b><br>
<br>
<br>
In a flash and a haze, Cole disappears, taking Lance's memory of their encounter from him in the process. It left the mage with a blank look on his face, and he shook his head as he looked back to Varric. "I hope this room is fit for someone of my Caliber." He jokes. "You know I can't sleep in anything that's not silk or satin, and I can't sleep without my dear dwarf nearby..."</div>

He had yet to see Cole's weird... magic at play, and the essence it left in the air sent a shiver down his spine. The kid hadn't needed to wipe his memory, <i>His Lordship</i> probably needed to be chastised more often. Not to mention, that shit never failed to freak Varric out.<br>
<br>
<br>
Still, he turned to Lancelot and lifted a shoulder, sly grin returning to his features. Whatever. His best friend was here. That came first. He took his time leading Lancelot to the guest bedrooms that faced the westward the mountains(the ones Josephine reserved specifically for peoples of importance). They spoke in hushed tones, sharing tales of the days when they cared for little else than a game of cards, and a drink in their hands. All too soon, however, they arrived, leaving Varic with a half-finished joke and a choked smile.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Here you are. Try to stay out of trouble before I meet you in the morning." It was whispered with the roll of his eyes, but with lips turned downward. He truly preferred his friend didn't get him in any more trouble than he'd already be in.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">He'd have been a fool for expecting it to have a homey feel. It wasn't his estate in Kirkwall, and it wasn't the Viscount's Keep. It wouldn't pose a problem, however. So long as he had his closest---rather, his only friend nowadays nearby, Lance felt he could grow accustomed to this place in no time. And if he could get a tour around, see what this Skyhold and this Inquisitor had to offer him, all the better.<br>
<br>
<br>
They arrived at his quarters far too soon, regrettably. Yes, it was late in the night, and yes, they both must've been tired already; but he was half tempted to put his arms on the dwarf's shoulders and turn him away from the room, demanding a late-night tour of his new surroundings, and demand that Varric spill more things that happened in their time apart. It wasn't fair to the dwarf, however. Not answering his letters until just recently and expecting him to just tell even more was unfair. But then again, he knew himself. That wasn't in his nature to be such.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You insult me, Varric. I can get into trouble as soon as you close this door!" Lance laughed richly, trailing off with a wearied sigh. He wasn't ready for their reunion to be over quite yet. Offering a crooked grin, he lunges forward and envelops Varric in his large arms, squeezing him in a hug that could rival the one the dwarf gave him earlier. "Damn you, Tethras. I actually missed you." He says softly. "It's great to see you again."</div>

<br>
<br>
Maybe he secretly shared Lance's sentiments, and maybe he wanted to indulge his best friend's unsaid whims. But Cole's voice rang in the back of his mind, and the promise he'd made. So with a sigh, he released him. "But let's save the fun and games for daylight. I'll come check on you after a few hours of shut eye." <i>Hopefully,</i> He added to himself.</div>

Lance shed his cloak and tossed it nearby on the bed, and withdrew his staff and tossed it to join his cloak. "Daylight works for me. But don't be surprised if I wake you up at the crack of dawn; I want a proper tour of Skyhold." Lance said in jest--he knew Varric wasn't the type to wake up when the sky was dark--and if he did---well, it was only in the case of an emergency, or if someone had a death wish.

The beasts were for the most part asleep, just has their stable hands, but one in the far corner had her eyes open and her ears twitching, as someone murmured soft, calming words to her.<br>
<br>
<br>
Varric approached as stealthily as he could, so as not to spook the animal, but there was no need. The first crunch the draw made under his boot and Cole's head poked up, his gaze a might kinder than earlier, but still hardened with distrust.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Kid," Varric murmured, not bothering to or the conversation off with pleasantries, "your loyalty is flattering, but we have got to work on how you express it."</div>

For a moment, Cole glanced away, his lips parted as if something were going to be said, but only to close seconds later.<br>
<br>
<br>
The last thing he wanted to do was Varric to hurt. And he certainly didn't want to <i>hurt </i>Varric. Not with his actions, nor his words.<br>
<br>
<br>
Words. Words long forgotten. They ring in his head. Mounting. Louder and louder until they practically scream. Much like Varric's. He wants to...but he can't. HE won't let him. It hurts. He hurts. And he himself hurts for Varric.<br>
<br>
<br>
Sometimes words will hurt, but it's better to hurt and help now than let them be hurt without help later.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cole fixes his eyes on the dwarf, his fingers twitching against the horse's muscular chest almost nervously. "Your loyalty... It can be too much, Varric. You want to be friendly, warm, open, loyal, trustworthy...but it hurts sometimes. YOU hurt sometimes, don't you? You put it all aside so you can be loyal, no matter what?"</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Varric sighed. Always about pain with Cole, and Varric didn't want to think about his pain. Why should he? These things happened long ago, when both he and Lancelot were different men, with different agendas and different stories to tell. But to explain that to Cole? Even he struggled to find the right words.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Pain never really goes away, Kid. Even if the situation's been resolved. His Lordhsip and I have had our disagreements, and we've fought about some shit. Part of loyalty is accepting friends in spite of poor decisions, and forgiving them rather than reprimanding them."<br>
<br>
<br>
Not that Varric had any right to say such things. He had tried to reprimand Lance, each time he turned his back on their companions. At one point, after the incident with Fenris, Varric had truly tried to leave, so disgusted with Hawke's choices. Only Daisy had kept him there, as he told himself he had to protect her from the same fate. The lies we choose to tell ourselves, Varric thought with a chuckle.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Either way, Kid, thanks for looking out for me, but I've got a handle on Hawke. I'll keep him out of trouble." He patted Cole's shoulder and gave him an affectionate smile.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Varric, I---" Cole stopped himself short, bowing his head and clenching his jaw tightly as he picked at a few stray threads at the hem of his shirt. The dwarf's mind was made, that much was clear. But he'd seen Lance's mind. Got a horrible glimpse of what that man had done for his own personal gain. What he <i>wouldn't </i>do for his personal game. Even if it meant betraying his friend, the dwarf, who'd remained with him the longest.<br>
<br>
<br>
But Varric, he was a good man. Unlike <i><b>him, </b></i>he had a good heart. A heart that had the possibility of being broken. Broken and crushed under heel without so much as a second thought. And Cole refused to sit idly by while that happened. If not outright, then he'd be watching from the shadows. Protecting and vigilant. Because he saw the dwarf as a friend of his own, and a good one at that. He'd owed him so much.<br>
<br>
<br>
Glancing up, he returns the smile, albeit a bit forced and strained. "Varric. Please be careful. It's not wrong to want help if you need it. I will give it the best I can if things go wrong. Just promise that you'll come to me if you are, alright? Promise me."</div>
