[open] darkness is a harsh term, don't you think

WHO: Cade and yooou
WHAT: just a catch-all with various Cadely activities
WHEN: Kingsway
WHERE: Kirkwall, mostly the Gallows
NOTES: the Nari thread is probably best left alone if you have delicate sensitivities, also possibly NSFW

I. Myrobalan's Office

During the day, Cade can be found doing his actual Inquisition-paying job, which is reading and writing Myr's correspondence and other related tasks. It keeps him pretty busy, he has a nice enough time there, and will sometimes work late copying records or text from books on loan. He's usually open to company on these evenings, as long as they're respectful of the space.

II. The Chantry Garden

Without fail, Cade is at the sculpture of Andraste every day at dawn, where he prays and meditates for an hour before going about his business. When she's not away on Inquisition business, Nari is usually there as well, but sometimes he can be caught kneeling alone with a candle in the peace of the morning.

III. Eating, Drinking, Walking Around

No matter where he is in public, Cade always looks a little uncomfortable, like he doesn't quite belong there and is afraid of being called out on it. He sits alone in the dining hall, will usually take tea up to the office or the library to hide with it while he reads, and averts his gaze from people on the street. It's nothing unusual for him, though there are plenty who consider him odd and off-putting. Because... he is.

Wren

Unable to get the idea out of his head after he and Six visited the City Guard, Cade has been steeling himself for a conversation with his... former..? supervisor, Ser Coupe. They're friends, he reminds himself, as much as he has any friends. He shouldn't be afraid of her. And yet.
He knocks on the door to her office.

Six

With their first mission such a rousing success (of sorts), Cade invited Six along for the next one, finding she was likely as good a fit as any for a full day of sitting in silence while a man talks their ears off about fishing. He wanted to meet a rifter, so one with an even temperament and quiet bearing will be perfect. Hopefully.

They're on a boat. No fish are biting. It is unseasonably hot, and Cade yearns for death.

Beleth

In keeping with the tradition of he and Beleth making sure the other one is eating enough, Cade is holding a basket of muffins when he knocks on her door. It's been a busy couple of months, but he should probably make sure she's not about to keel over.

Nari

When he knew what day she'd be home, Cade asked Nari not to go to the new room straight away, but to allow him to collect her at the quarters she shares with Myr. He wants to be there to see her reactions, and, of course, to make sure he didn't ruin everything.
Upon arriving, he offers out a little bunch of wildflowers, the blush on his face already spreading to his ears. "Welcome home."
