( closed ) No longer I can justify the bloodshed in his name

[fightingale]

WHO: Leliana & various closed threads (for now - open stuff later)
WHAT: Wicked Grace night goes horribly wrong and Leliana is kind of dying
WHEN: forward dated to the night of the 22nd, post-assassination attempt
WHERE: Leliana's creepy Rookery chamber place
NOTES:
1. Pretentious images in the main post and starters in the comments because I'm a bit ridiculous.

2. Content warning for attempted murder/violence/poison/all that implies.

3. Party style threading is welcome and encouraged, it might make it a bit easier to discuss side matters after the initial discovery.

4. This will probably open up for including other threads and stuff that can be forward dated, but initially just closed.

5. There will be some terrible poetry in here and I'm not even sorry; it is only one in a series that will be left around Skyhold and will be posted later. Belle, Jansen & Libby are beautiful humans for enduring my rambles.

"Thank you, Dorian." It could be sarcasm- it could be condescension. It is neither. That someone, anyone knows anything that might be of use? That he could send word and bring them some manner of solution? Is nothing short of miraculous. Adelaide makes a mental note to buy him a very nice bottle of Tevinter wine when she next has the opportunity. He will have more than earned it.

Her hand lifts to trace the strange marks on her neck, barely there, an attempt to discern what they were. Scarring? Inflammation? A rash? Using magic to find an answer is right out but if they know how it is strangling her perhaps they can help ease the strain.

"What has she written, Anders?"

Dorian gets a nod of acknowledgement and thanks, as he heads out the door but it's easy to miss as Anders' attention returns promptly to Leliana. More specifically, what Leliana's attempting to write. He catches the pen and takes the paper gently, expression growing pained before he looks up at Leliana's face.

"I'm sorry. I know you tried your best, but I can't read this." The paper gets held out to Adelaide just in case. "Can you do a... a tapping thing, Leliana? For letters. I can go through the alphabet, slowly, and you tap when I get the right one. If that's all right with you, if you're willing to try it, tap your fingers twice. You don't have to do anything if you don't have the energy for it."

It isn't like he has anything better he can do for her right now, when nothing they have will help.
