ALL OF THEM 5EVA

[Cullen isn't much of a templar these days. He still wears the armor though, most days. All days, but whatever. He's a templar that doesn't know where he is. What he's doing. He wonders if mages should be locked up or let free; neither solution works entirely.

It's hard to keep asking himself that whenever he looks at Solona. Ridiculous, really. Maker help him, you'd think several years would have given him time to get over her. She had been nothing but a silly boyhood crush, naive and wistful. They're not innocent anymore. Not naive or wistful or even entirely whole. They've seen too much at this point.

But when he looks at her, he doesn't really see a mage. He sees a woman who has carved a path for herself, who broke out of the circles that bound her and made her own way.

What Cullen sees in Solona is something he's never been able to do. Not that he believes she's free. She traded one cage for another, but at least this one allows for freedom of movement.

Today, he's out of the armor that bound him too. It makes him feel naked. Kirkwall is a hothouse of insanity, but he doesn't want to be a templar today. His sword is still strapped to his side, however.]
How much longer do you think you will stick around?
