WHO: Loki, Erik, Adrasteia & y'all WHAT: Catch-all WHEN: Late Solace / Early August WHERE: Kirkwall NOTES: Language warning for Erik, otherwise nothing yet. Open starters in comments.
"All will be well, Adrasteia," is a hollow reassurance. Ellis can't guarantee anything. But he can offer her this small thing at least: he'd like all to be well.
He can't promise that, he simply cannot. That's not the way their lives work, as people, as members of Riftwatch in a war, as Wardens.
She could be angry at him just for making the attempt. A promise he can't possibly keep all on his own. Instead, she's... something else. Moved, a little, that he'd try.
"Just..." A breath. She keeps painting. "Just be careful. Please."
The only promise he can give her. Ellis will be cautious, as cautious as he can be. There's so much riding on this particular outing. He can't be reckless with it. He can't gamble beyond what he's already setting on the table. If he's caught, it jeopardizes Riftwatch, Thedas, the fabric of their world.

The silence carries Ellis' agreement.

He'd like to come back here.

He can't allow that. He will proceed carefully.
"Now, let's see about these walls, aye?"
