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.

"You know that I'm not going to charge you," Cyril pointed out, chuckling. "Especially if it's for my baby cousin."

"Well, I am going to insist that you at least take something for materials." He smiled softly, then lifted the little baby girl's arms. "Huzzah! We support our cousin!"

Cyril come closer to tickle Sina gently on her stomach. For a moment, he is focused on the baby and entertaining her. Then, he looks up at James. "If you like, you can help me track down more materials later, once I run out."

He smiled down at Sina, then fondly up at Cyril. He wiggled her little hands again. "I would be delighted."

Cyril focused for a moment on James's face. The idea of delighting James made his heart warm a bit, so the smile on his face was a tad more boyish than normal. "Good," he said after a moment. "I'll let you know what I need when I need it?"

James's eyes lit up a little more, and he bowed with Sina on his chest, putting one hand over her tiny body so she didn't move around too much. "A pleasure to be of service whenever, kind sir."
