Always finding something new in DAI. I never noticed that when you do the Riverside Garrison quest in the Exalted Plains, the hole that has the rift in it also has one of those metal trees you see in Trespasser. Given that and what’s in the pit beneath that giant hand, I’m thinking the Plains once belonged to Andruil or Ghili’nain.

"What's that old Dalish saying? 'May the Dread Wolf take you.'"

"…And so he did."

Solas, you're an idiot

I just rewatched the scene after he kisses you in the Fade because I was a bit researching for my fic and... that idiot just send me laughing. This is just..

"You were the one who started with tongue."

"I did no such thing!"

"Oh, so it doesn't count if its just Fade tongue?"

"It has been a while and things have always been easier for me in the Fade."

1. DUDE, THATS YOUR EXCUSE??

2. I bet it is, mister I don't want to answer the "Were you more than friends with some spirits"

(Am I broken for laughing?)

Just recently I asked myself an important question. Why do I, a person not usually into angst, continue to romance Solas. It’s not like it’s going to end differently. My Lavellan will always get her heart broken. 

The simple answer? It’s worth it. There is a gentleness in how they treat each other that you don’t find in many real-life relationships much less in a video game. It’s soft, quiet, and tender. It’s what love looks like after years with someone you truly care about.

How can that be? Solas isn’t being honest with her. To Solas’ credit, he realizes that. He takes her to Crestwood to tell her the truth. When he realizes he can’t, he breaks it off. Which in and of itself is an act of love.

What he is honest about is his love for Lavellan. He never denies his feelings. A case in point is the aftermath of the first kiss. It would be so easy for Solas to say that he just got caught up in the moment. He doesn’t. He may say that it’s been a long time and that he thinks a relationship isn’t a good idea, but he never denies that he has feelings for her. Even when he breaks it off, he refuses to lie and say she was a casual dalliance or that he doesn’t love her. 

For her part, Lavellan never pushes Solas. When he asks for time to think, she grants it. “Take all the time you need.” She understands him. He has trust issues. Getting into a relationship with her would be a big step for him. She may not know what made him that way, but she cares enough to let him decide if a relationship is something he truly wants.  She is willing to wait.

This demonstrates a respect for each other and for their budding relationship. They are honest about their feelings. They are willing to take it slow. They talk about it like adults. They go into it knowing there will be risks.

An underrated aspect of the relationship is the conversations where Solas shares his recollections of things he saw in the Fade. Solas isn’t just randomly pulling stories out of his hat. He is telling Lavellan about the things he saw that meant the most to him. He is opening up to her, trusting that she won’t laugh at him or dismiss him. For her part, she actively listens. It’s a quiet kind of loving and, for me, one of the most intimate things you can do in a relationship.

The balcony scene is another place where this plays out. Solas wants to be with Lavellan. He has come up to the balcony to tell her that. He still has reservations. He wants her but he doesn’t want to hurt her. 

Lavellan knows he must be the one to make the choice. Instead of kissing him, she puts her hands behind her back. If he wants this, he will have to kiss her. He balks. She asks him not to go. Many people interpret this as begging. That’s not it. She is telling him, quietly, that if he leaves, she won’t wait any longer. “It would be kinder in the long run but losing you would…” He can’t. He loves her. He decides to take the risk. 

There is also a strong spiritual component to their relationship. Solas isn’t attracted by her physical beauty. He is all about the spirit. To him she is wonderful. Someone wise. Someone who thinks before she acts. He calls her beautiful in Crestwood, but I think he is talking about her soul, not what she looks like. 

There are many other small moments that give us clues as to what their relationship looks like post balcony scene. Solas attempts to comfort her at the Winter Palace by dancing or taking her in his arms. She reassures him that he can trust her. They hold hands in Crestwood. He calls her “my heart” and it’s clear she is precious to him. His voice when he speaks with her in Crestwood is intimate. It’s a vocal tenor we don’t hear anywhere else. He remonstrates with Sera when she jokes about his relationship with Lavellan. 

I find it interesting that even if Lavellan is angry, when Solas finds the broken orb she isn’t fist pumping because he didn’t get what he wanted. She treats him with kindness. 

He goes out of his way to tell her what they had was real – or that she was right to be angry. No matter what happened they acknowledge each other’s feelings. 

Everything paints a picture of an intensely private, intimate, loving relationship. That’s what I love about it and it’s why I keep coming back for more.

solas thoughts again, solavellan thoughts AGAIN

Walking through the fade at Adamant, the fear demon is trying to taunt everyone, looking for terror to feed off of. "Hawke is in danger because of you once again, Varric. You found the red lyrium, you dragged her here."

Imagining those words hitting Solas harder than they hit Varric. Not about Hawke. About Lavellan. Everyone knows now that the Orb is what made the mark on her hand. They just watched it. Some botched ritual. His botched ritual. He dragged her into this in the first place. And now, they're physically in the fade, wildly off plan. They were never supposed to be here to begin with. She never should've grabbed the Orb, but she did. And now she's leading the charge to fix his mistakes. And she doesn't know it, but he does.

Lavellan is is danger because of you once again, Solas.
