I'm Not The Moon (Open)

[youwonscience]

WHO: Cosima, Avery AND YOU
WHAT: Open log of goodbye to all that Skyhold; in which Avery may or may not try to help get Cosima a quality one-night stand and in which there will definitely be drinking
WHEN: Backdated to before the move (forgive my hiatus)
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: No warnings to start, but Cosima is fresh off TTT, so if you want a less shiny happy thread, those are also on the table.

Behind closed doors, Cosima had said very evenly that she needed to hug Avery once, and to please just let it happen. She was, in some ways, less shaken up than she'd been after getting captured by the Venatori; the things that had happened to her, specifically, hadn't been as bad by pretty much any measure. But seeing a future-that-might-be ... it had been enough to shake her up.

But that had been in private, and before they left Skyhold behind, Cosima was determined to enjoy herself a little. ("What would Ruby do?" she'd enthusiastically pointed out to her roommate when attempting to sell the idea of a night out.) Cosima had officially thrown her lot in with the Inquisition, was committed to making sure the future she saw didn't come to pass. But the world wasn't going to go to shit in one night -- probably -- and she wanted to dance and drink and flirt with someone.

(She wanted to look over and see Avery, right there and fine and looking mildly annoyed but not leaving her either.)

So a trip to the tavern seems well in order. Cosima's going to be enthusiastically greeting her friends from the start. She might be enthusiastically greeting glancing acquaintances later too, depending on how the drinking goes.

"She says there's a witch who cursed them, who lives in the wood nearby. You look fearsome - she wonders if you could convince the witch to lift the curse, through persuasion or, you know. Sword-persuasion." She knows the word intimidation perfectly well, but where's the fun in that?

"Hmm," Avery mumbles, clearly thinking it over as she tilts her head back and forth a couple of times. "I tell her I might, but first I need to know two things. Why this witch cursed them and where the temple I'm looking for is. Does she know?"

Cosima holds up a finger. "She doesn't know why the witch cursed them, but she does know where the temple is. She's willing to tell you if you say you'll try to help."

"Fine." Huffed, of course. "I agree, grudgingly. Do I get the information I want?"
