WHO: Cade and his many friends and admirers
WHAT: a dumb sulky baby got hurt at the Winter Palace because he was dumb and now he is sulking about it
WHEN: post-Halamshiral, simultaneous with red lyrium plot hell
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: Injury stuff, nothing ridiculous



The Healing Tents

For the umpteenth time in the span of two years, Cade is under supervision. But this time it's not because he was violent-- well... it was, but indirectly-- it's because he got a couple spikes of red lyrium through the thigh after flipping out and battling Red Templars completely unarmored in the Winter Palace.
He ingested red lyrium once before, and from what anyone can tell it caused him to smack an elf. This is a lot more of the stuff, and Cade is notoriously unstable, so he's being watched to make sure it doesn't alter his personality.

He's the first to reassure the healers that lyrium doesn't work like that, you have to take it daily and it slowly builds up in you and so forth, but, you know, caution is caution. He respects it. But he hates being fussed over, so periodically he'll sneak off a small ways just to have a bit of solitude.


Near the Healing Tents, Being a Renegade

Usually this means sitting up on the ramparts and watching people, reading, anything that gets him a little peace and quiet. For someone who seems to thrive on being told what to do, no one can tell Cade what to do and he will be stubborn for as long as it takes for him to be deemed Safe again.

This is pointless.

Within the first day that Cade is in there, a visitor comes while he's sleeping, and has a quiet fight with the healers. Apparently, they were worried about the very elf that he smacked last time triggering another attack. But Beleth is persuasive, and eventually convinces them that she won't do anything that will result in her getting smacked.

Hopefully.

She'll be patiently waiting there until Cade wakes up, a sandwich by the stand next to the bed, indicating she's ready to sit there for a while. Luckily, she has a book, and she reads it while she waits next to his bed, humming quiet.

Iskandar had been out for a walk when he'd seen the young man. Since it was someone he didn't know he went with the very obvious conclusion of what he should do. Of course, this was the opposite of what the normal reaction was which would have been to continue walking and minding his own business.

Hence why he now approached him with a big smile like they were old friends. "Good day, my friend! And what is it you are doing here on your own?"

Yep, one would think he knew whoever this was very well.

At some point during the day there is some noticeable singing that begins near the healing tents. Whomever it is seems to be moving through each tent, continuing to sing familiar Chantry hymns both brightly and happily. This continues until she reaches where Cade has been set up as she pushes the flap aside, a vase full of flowers in a small vase and continuing to sing.

Saoirse assumes he is sleeping as she arranges it on the nearby stand but is quite surprised when she looks over and sees that is not the case.

"Oh! I'm sorry," she says, quietly with a noted Starkhaven accent. "Did I wake you?"

The tents are pretty full after the mess in the Winter Palace, which means Anders isn't entirely certain when the red-lyrium-exposed Cade snuck out of bed. He just knows it happened when he finds the bed empty.

"Maker's breath." Templars can cage mages, but they can't be bothered to stay put when it's in their own best interests. He emerges out of the tent to find the Templar thankfully not too far away, and he shakes his head.

"You're supposed to be resting. You've a hole in your leg, in case you've forgotten."

Do you know what care and responsible ownership of nugs involves? Probably not because most people don't own nugs beyond wanting to eat them or wanting to race them or they're the shame of Orzammar, hidden away because Orzammar is shit. But anyway, he's getting away from himself.

Point is: you need to walk the nugs. For Yngvi this just means you unleash them and then go looking for them which is what he's doing.

Or that's what he's going to say he's doing. Because what he's actually doing is--

"Who needs this much witherstalk? Who has the time to be requiring this much of it? We all know why people need witherstalk. And elfroot. Because we also know what everyone does with elfroot too. Coincidence, I think not." Hi Cade, he is here to brighten your day.

Well it was very brave of him, if very foolish as well, but truth be told neither of those things seems terribly out of character for him.

Doubtless he's growing tired of all eyes constantly being upon him in some form of judgement, but there are few things that honeycakes can't soothe the bitterness from. So naturally, she's come to visit, drawing closer upon the ramparts with a faint smile perched at the corner of her mouth.

"Escaped, have you?"

It's Malcolm's turn to visit Cade, after much debate on whether he even should. He'd had to spend a little time with healers himself, the gash in his side, the arrows along his arm, a few more injuries fighting through the night. Nothing near so grave as Cade's injuries. Much less injuries of the mind and spirit--hard not to notice the way Cade threw himself so viciously and recklessly at the enemy.

He shows up on the pretense of having his wounds checked out, make sure they're healing. Normally he wouldn't bother unless something's wrong, but this way he can stop by Cade without it seeming like he came deliberately to check.

The Seeker says nothing at first, merely stops at the foot of the disgraced Templar's bed, observing. Maybe even worried.

After Merrick announced that Metaari has disappeared, Cyril is curious about what people have seen. He is curious if Cade saw anything, but he waits until Cade is at least healed enough that he can walk around. When he sees Cade he comes closer.

"Hello Cade," he offers with a small smile. "How are you feeling?"
