[Closed] Drink With Me To Days Gone By

[madame_de_fer]

WHO: DAI advisors and companions, yes even Cole
WHAT: Drinking and remembering... party? Not a party.
WHEN: Mid Guardian, right after this. Well, once everyone's not freezing ass in the snow.
WHERE: Vivienne's Balcony
NOTES: Drinks. Feels. Varric and Cassandra, please keep to opposite ends of the balcony, if you please. (Tag around and in and whatever how you like.)



[After the heated emotional outbreak over the sending crystal, and the resultant reminder of the one they've lost, Vivienne quietly opens her balcony to those who knew the Herald best. Silent drinking is allowed, raging tempers are not. Sharing fond memories of the Herald welcomed and possibly even craved.]

[Dorian's storytelling is actually just what the evening called for. Though Vivienne would never actually tell him as much. He was remarkably good at it. Certainly no Varric, but the nuances and emphasis on words just so adds to the effect.]

I remember the time we found some ruin she wanted to investigate. Rocks had blocked the only entrance we could find and she actually attempted to pick them up herself.

[There's a hint of amusement in Vivienne's tone.]

It was nothing at all to simply energize the ambient magic in the air and move them out of her way, but she was so determined...

[ Dorian's chuckle is low and slithery in recollection, the corners of his eyes crinkling. ]

But it was all made worth it for the look on her face when we shifted them just enough as though she had managed it part of the way herself, despite some of those boulders being as large as her torso. Such a look of victory, followed swiftly by such disappointment.

[ It couldn't have been so disappointing for the Lady Herald, as Dorian's tone is affectionate in his own distant way. ]

[Vivienne's own expression melts into one of a soft fondness. It's rare for her to be so honestly expressive.]

She should have never been too disappointed. The Herald was a formidable woman and quite capable of moving mountains by sheer will alone. Would that as many people could say the same of themselves.

[Maker knows she made an impact on the Iron Lady, and that's a miracle on par with being handed out of the Fade by Andraste.]
