[It's good that he does. She needed the supporters as well as the doubters. While she let the Architect live, it had come with terms. And she knew she gambled with much. But over a thousand years of battling the Blight, and they'd made no progress with it. Everything the Wardens did was reactionary. Something had to change; risks had to be taken.
She pushed those thoughts aside. What's done is done. And Maker, it felt freeing to be able to really do that. Obsessing over her decisions was something of an old habit.]
Still clearing the fog from my mind. But I feel... yes, I suppose better. Being back home and having a break from this place really helps.
[His expression shifts slightly and his eyes run over her face, studying like he was expecting to see something sprout there that would tell him she needed healing. Unfortunately, as far as he could tell, she didn't.
Although...it wouldn't hurt, would it? What else was he doing with his mana these days? Even his work on the surface was more Herbalisim-focused than Spirit Healing.
A gentle blue-white glow grew in his palm and it jumped from his skin to hers, the magic spreading through her and leaving a tang in the room like the air before a storm.
He smirked.]
Just in case. I can't imagine sleeping as long as you did is all that healthy.
[It's strange to be healed in this place. Everything here is so... opposite of what she knows. It's like a bit of home coursing through her, even if for just a moment.]
Ah, thank you. I do feel a bit... more awake. [Slightly more energized, if nothing else.] So, did I miss anything exciting while I was asleep?
Oh? I didn't realize you had anything embarrassing to share. Surely you're still a little confused from your sleep for I am never embarrassed about anything.

Just that wonderful artwork your dear friend, Leliana bestowed on you. I might have saved the picture...
action
You took a picture? You fiend!
action
Of course! You were bound to ruin it when you woke up, I had to preserve the genius of it.
Now I can see the loveliness of the art and the beauty of your face without the two competing.
[Isn't he charming?? You love him, right????]

Anders. [OH SNAP THERE'S THE WARDEN-COMMANDER TONE.] If that gets out to anyone, it'll be your hide I'm coming after.
action
Of course, my darling Commander. I wouldn't dream of doing anything like that.
It's not in my nature to besmirch royalty with something so slanderous.
[He had no intention of sharing it with anyone...but that didn't mean he was above teasing her. It was his self-imposed job, after all.]
Action
Wise man. I'd hate to have to reveal anything particularly embarrassing regarding you if such a thing were to occur.
[Queen of Ferelden threatening people with blackmail. Given her position, perhaps it was only a matter of time...]
