I'm happy to let you investigate it all you like. [ it does sort of answer another question, though, after hearing the rest of what solas has to say. the mark is going to be with him for a while, it sounds like, if even two years in the future, solas still needs to study it. or.. does he? he feels oddly off-balance right now, even taking into account the usual disorientation he gets when speaking to a friend that doesn't know him.
two years. two years, and solas is.. different. there's a weight on him that's almost visible. he feels.. worn, older, and mahanon is a little afraid of what that means. (the armour, the shift in body language, the weight of his glances.) is this what his own solas will be in two years?
he doesn't want to take a breath. he knows it'll shake. ] .. Two years. [ he was right; the air trembles in his lungs for a moment, two, and he sighs it back out. ] I have a lot to catch up on. [ he's not sure he wants to know. not right now, anyway. what's the point, when they're in another world entirely? ] But then.. who knows? We've already proven that time isn't set in stone. [ it could be different, whatever happens to all of them.
(solas is still.. his friend.) ] You should come to dinner once you get settled in. I'll show you all the appliances, unless you've already sorted them out. [ he curls fingers at his nape, pale eyes sliding away briefly, glancing out toward the passersby. ] I live in Maurtia Falls here. .. It's not exactly the safest city, I suppose, but I'm left pretty much alone, and no one cares that I'm a knife-ear.
