[ It's difficult to think of what life will be like after the Inquisition. Where will they go? Neria has every intention of returning to Amaranthine to at least ensure the Wardens have a home to go to, to set up what she can before... Before what? Her plans had been simple before, either departing or returning to Amaranthine. Cullen has changed everything and while all of it is for the better, now she feels as if the certainty she had is in upheaval. A part of her wishes they could discuss it...but much of her also feels that she is being presumptive.

Instead, she tries to ground herself in the moment, in enjoying his company and the care he gives her. That, in and of itself, is more than she ever hoped or expected for herself since she was very, very small. Her smile is soft and she briefly ducks her head at what he says, eventually able to look at him once more. ]

You're certain you've never been with anyone before me? The things you say...

[ It's too much. Her ears might be just a little red, even now. Her thumb brushes over his cheek, near the side of his mouth. ]

This is going to be much harder to maintain when we return. You realize that, yes? That we're going to need to continue to sit through meetings and continue to work in the field without anyone being the wiser?

[ Her smile might be one of amusement now. ]

It's going to be quite a challenge. Even coming out here, knowing we would be together, hasn't made it easier to be patient.
