{Open} Extending an Olive Branch

[didifuckingstutter]

WHO: Aveline and You!
WHAT: Now that the quarantine is over, Aveline parked herself in the Gallows hoping to talk to/be helpful to members of the Inquisition. So, if you're in need of help from a 5'10 walking tank, come on over. Boy, does she have time for you.
WHEN: Late Guardian into Drakonis
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: Feel free to PM me here or on discord (Nurfhurrdurr#4899) if you'd like to do anything fun to do. I'm open.

With the quarantine lifted, Aveline knew it will take time for the affected persons to get back into fighting shape. She stopped by the gallows, looking to be useful to those who were still recovering, and just help in general.

She walked around the gallows, hoping to be as personable as she can. The Inquisition has helped Kirkwall a great deal, and she hopes not only to help in kind, but to also foster some strong relationships with the Inquisition's members. She walked around, making an active effort not to glare at anyone, and hoped others would feel comfortable coming up to her.

Her words are not unfamiliar to him. Loghain has long since stopped offering up justifications for the choices that he made, even the ones that now, a decade later, he continues to stand by--like his decision to retreat at Ostagar. For him, and for the soldiers whose lives were saved by that choice, the wisdom of the order seemed without question. Yet for those who the choice to retreat left behind in the valley... yes. They did lose everything.

As he told Wynne a decade ago, he can still remember their names.

He sits still in the face of her rage, her anguish, and doesn't question her. When she is finished, he says the only thing that he can say: "I'm sorry." No defence. No protestation. No justification. The sentiment won't be enough to stand on its own, but it is also all he has to offer.
