WHO: Some creepy kid, some other creepy kid, Anders, and Leliana
WHAT: A proposal
WHEN: Early Solace
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: n/a for now

There is a blank spot in Leliana's ledger. Then, there isn't.

In a steady, but simple hand, the appointment reads:

Cole ☺
also Anders and the one with dark eyes

Individually, Cole makes sure the others know where they ought to be at the appointed time. When that time arrives, Cole is simply there in the rookery, offering a small handful of crumbs to one of the birds. The one which was hurt in the Fallow Mire, the one he helped nurse back to health.

The burns he sustained during the battle with Vengeance are still visible, but barely: minute wrinkles of skin along the sides of his bare fingers, on the side of his neck.

"Ravens know how to remember," he remarks. "She always sees me."

[extramural]

"A dangerous thing to tell a spymaster."

He cannot appear out of nowhere as he once did, but he is quiet when he comes up the stairs, feet only barely touching the stone. Use of his abilities here still tires him, though he has studied further upon the magic of the world. It may be getting better, but it is not as it was before.

Then again, neither is he. Not entirely. The white ring on his finger reflects green light from the shard in his hand as the Outsider crosses his arms, leaning against the wall.

A young mage named him 'Raven', in this world. Seeing so many now reminds him of it, and of Corvo, and there's a faint smile.
