NOTES: None yet

Taas was gone, reassigned to another place, and Merrick was spending more and more time away from him in the shadows of this city. Cyril wasn't lonely, but he missed them both. He had other people around him - friends, lovers, and family - but he was coming to realize that the spots where those people had been couldn't be filled with anyone else.

He still had Taas's dragon tooth, and that helped. He never took it off now and had put the silver ring he had stolen from Sam so long ago on the same rope around his neck. He still saw Merrick from time to time too, but the visits were becoming fewer and fewer.

Rather than dwell, he wanted to sell the items he once had in Skyhold's courtyard. The stall he has is small, but it shows a collection of puzzle boxes and traps that someone can buy for reasonable pricing. As people walk by he's playing with one of the boxes now, twisting them to show how they work.

Kirk cocked his head to the side slightly, like a dog who had just heard a curious sort of sound and wasn't sure what to make of it.

"I think you look plenty beautiful without the kohl," he said with that painfully honest sincerity of his. His lips twitched into a grin. "But I am glad my eggs are enough to make you break habit for a morning."

Part of not having the makeup caked on his skin means it's easier to tell when a slight blush crept up in his skin. Usually he was so calm, the one who made other people blush - but having a compliment to his appearance when he's exposed and early flusters him just a bit.

"Perhaps I haven't broken the habit of being useful as easily," he comments after a moment. After all, cooking was as useful as anything.
