Seriously?

WHO: Samouel Gareth and Gavin Ashara
WHAT: Sam confronts Gavin about a certain someone
WHEN: After this (after the ball)
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: WTF GAVIN and stuff. Maybe swearing.

As if there was not enough on his mind, it's been extra difficult to concentrate on things after having talked to Maxwell that one night; drinking his heart out to the stars on the battlements and sadly looking at the gift he had yet to give. Having heard what had put his friend in such a state still surprised him.

So he did what any friend would do. Go find the other friend who had done it.

It might have been easier for Sam to have found Gavin by perhaps calling him on the stones, but, honestly, marching around Skyhold had helped him think about what he was going to say and get rid of some of the pent up frustration. Once he finds the elf he sighs and tries not to frown too much before approaching him.

"Gavin."

"I'm not mad," He said again. "I'm disappointed. And afraid that - that the disappointment is true."

He rubbed his arm with a hand and stood up.

"I'm not trying to hurt him, Sam. That's what you came to check, right?"

"I came to check because you both hurt each other." Gavin was not the only one at fault here, he wanted him to know that. He also wanted to know that they weren't giving up so easily after trying so hard.

"And I didn't say you were mad. I'm just pointing it out for when you do talk to Max. It's a lot easier to get mad when you're hurt and in turn say hurtful things." He just didn't want Gavin to just up and leave if Maxwell did say something and giving up on trying to talk.

"Alright. I'll try to keep it in mind."

It was entirely against his nature, but Sam was trying to help, and that meant a lot.

"Thanks, Sam. Sorry."

He knows that is in Gavin's nature to do so, which is why he's stressing it. Didn't Gavin know that some things you had to fight for? Also he's a helper, and maybe a little selfish - seeing someone making it work because they were different? He's seen too many break apart because of it.

"I'm not the one you need to be sorry to," he says simply, standing up from the bench. Well he should be 'sorry', but not for that. He's still feeling like he's some bad guy by how Gavin is still keeping his distance, but that isn't something he's about to bring up at this moment.

Course it does make saying 'good-bye' a bit awkward since he's used to giving a pat on the back or something. Instead he just glances at Gavin for a moment with a sigh before looking down at his feet with raised brows. "Guess I'll see you around then." He stands there for a moment, trying to think of anything, but eventually just turns and walks away.
