For Vandelin

[overharrowed]

Julius' only previous visit to Skyhold had been so brief that he hadn't had a chance to actually see much of the place; Inquisition leadership had been happy to accept his offer to join up, and happily stuck him on the first party heading for Kirkwall as soon as they had.

While the negotiation process didn't leave them much in the way of free time, and Julius didn't want to cause an incident by crossing the wrong templar in some deserted hallway, his natural curiosity has led him to take a few walks when he's able. This afternoon, they'd decided to take a break when it was clear everyone was too tired to productively continue without at least a few hours apart, and he found himself in the garden.

It's a strangely lovely place to find in the middle of a military fortress, and quiet enough at present. Still, quiet only goes so far, so he doesn't hesitate to raise a hand in greeting when he catches sight of his fellow mage. For all they hadn't really known each other before this trip, Julius can't help but feel somewhat warm toward the only three people in Skyhold who can reasonably said to be on his side at present.
