her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

[dirth]

WHO: Solas and Galadriel
WHAT: A farewell before a journey
WHEN: Before the trip to the Sunless Lands
WHERE: Galadriel's 'rooms'
NOTES: Elves being elves

The arranged travel to the Sunless Lands does not come as a huge surprise to Solas; once he had found out the reasons behind it he could understand the justification well enough. As the man who was often given charge of leading the Inquisition to new Rifters he knew it was paramount that he attend - he was the one that knew their location and had told the scouts where to go. Whatever happened, the Rift and the Veil must be involved somehow and, therefore, he must be as well. It's a part of the role he plays here and he has no reason to shun it just yet.

What strikes him, however, is the fact that there are people he genuinely wishes to bid farewell to before he leaves, or at least check to see if they are venturing out as well. It has been some time since he has had anyone that he has considered a close enough friend to visit and the realisation that he has those people is a startling revelation - it's something he has to consider from the future onwards, if only for the impact they might have on his plans. An unfortunate side effect, perhaps, but one that cannot be ignored.

It seems clear to him that one of those people ought to be Galadriel, especially given her uncertainty and confusing in the wake of her binding. A part of him thinks that he should have checked in on her sooner, but he had no wish to push or pry too much where it was not welcomed and so he had given her the space he had imagined she had wanted. Now he is feeling the distance between them and wants to repair it, even if he cannot place exactly why the urge has overcome him - another thing that might be better not to think too hard on.

Approaching the rooms he had been shown before, he lifts his hand and knocks gently. When she opens the door, he speaks gently.

"Gin suilon."
