CW: Attempted r*ape scene


Solas fiddled with his servants hat as he waited to be introduced. Hale has yet to show up and that is concerning him, what if she got caught up with some touchy nobleman?

"And now presenting: Grand Duke Gaspard De Chalons, and accompanying him..." the presenter looked uncomfortable for a second before continuing. "Lady Inquisitor Adaar!" the Inquisitor walked down the stairs and Solas rolled his eyes at the whisperers of the people in the court. He tuned out the rest of the introductions until they got to him.

"The Lady Inquisitors elven serving man, Solas!" He called out, Solas walked forward, head held high at the nobles looking down upon him.

"Introducing Lady Hale! Arcane Warrior of the Inquisition, and emissary to the Lady Inquisitor." Solas turned toward Hale and he felt like someone had stolen the air from his lungs. Walking down the stairs in a beautiful emerald dress, that accentuated her body was Hale. Her slave markings in clear view of everyone, her blood red hair in a pile of curls atop her head, dark kohl surrounded her eyes, making her orange eyes brighten, a dark ruby red was gracing her perfect lips. She was the most beautiful person Solas has ever seen. She looked like she could be an evanuris. She gracefully walked up to the dais before Empress Celene and bowed her head slightly. After Yassin spoke to the Empress, they all went their separate ways.

Hale had been stationed in the garden's with Dorian. The two stood next to each other sipping on the wine an eager servant had given them.

"Isn't it funny how the nobles avoid us, but the servants fill up our cups, no problem?" Dorian asked Hale, humor lacing his voice.

"It's cause I have pointy ears and you're a dreaded magister." Hale wiggled her fingers, Dorian laughed and shook his head.

"You are positively correct my dear." the two sat in comfortable silence, Yassin walked into the garden but before she could walk up to the two she was surrounded by Celene's ladies in waiting. Hale smirked as Yassin walked over to them, exhaustion clear on her face.

"This is all so familiar. I half expect my mother to materialize from the crowd and criticize my manners." Dorian smirked up at Yassin, Hale barked out a laugh.

"Oh I can do that for her you know." Dorian rolled his eyes at Hale. "I'll make some rounds, see you two later." They both nodded at her as she walked inside. Hale didn't make it far before she found Solas in a corner.

"Hello lethal'lin." Hale spoke as she walked up to Solas, glass in hand. He smiled wide at her.

"Lethal'lan. Ah I do adore the heady blend of power, intrigue, danger, and sex that permeates these events." Solas took another sip of his wine, missing the blush covering Hale's ears.

"You seem just as comfortable as I do here Solas." Hale unknowingly walked closer to Solas.

"I have seen countless such displays in my journeys in the Fade." He answered back without hesitation, Hale knew the truth, but drunkenly telling the truth would get them nowhere. A servant walked up to them with a smile and refilled both their glasses. Hale sipped on her glass.
