( closed ) when i see you next

Who: Leliana + Cecily Trevelyan
What: Talking through their issues
Where: The lake
When: Right now
Warnings: Painful conversations ( and general Thedas warnings )

( Leliana had requested that Cecily meet her. She had at least moved onto her name, though she couldn't think of her as the Inquisitor. Perhaps she was, Cullen certainly believed it so although Cole didn't. Whether she was or not - in some other version of Thedas, if so - Leliana had her own inquisitor. Lavellan. This woman- Cecily didn't change that, but it certainly made things difficult.

Like their first meeting. It could have gone better, and perhaps her lack of belief in the woman had been a little paranoid, but after all that Leliana had seen - experienced there was so much that she could not instantly rule out. It would be foolish to simply and openly trust the first tale as she once would have.

There was much that Leliana needed to know, however. Details of her world, differences that may be present between them. Had all of their allies remained, had the battles been the same - in her favour as much as it had been for Lavellan? Though Leliana was curious of her own relationship with Cecily, of how well they knew each other (even what her own life had been) it wouldn't be anything asked - the information was the most important.

The lake had seemed a neutral location - something open, and its own vision of peace. Perhaps it would work, and at the very least there would be something nice to look at if they spoke little. And there she is,standing close to the waters edge, gaze shifting between it and the area around her as she waits )

I thought you'd say that.

[ Cecily sighs. There's no point in telling Leliana that she - and other Inquisitors, if their situations are the same - are likely to be dead before much action can be taken, anyway. ]

We can help with recovery efforts, whether they're from the blight or Corypheus' damage. [ She mutters. ] It's what' we've been doing all this time. I think they just don't want to see us as... a nuisance at best and a threat at worst.

Even with the Chantry stable again-- Well, there's only so much that Divine Victoria can do.

[ Though she's already done so much gone since her election. ]

Well, there's no use worrying about it here. [ The Inquisitor says lightly, but she'll certainly be worrying about it, going forward. ] Not when there is no Council and no Chantry in Hadriel.

[ Thank the Maker for that, right? ]

What I've done here... [ What a thought. Nothing is her bitter, immediate response, but she's not about to share that with Leliana. ]

Well, before you and Cole, Rainier, Dorian, and Sera were here, too, along with the Hero of Ferelden and the Champion. [ An impressive lineup that had further made her feel like a failure for not having escaped. ] Despite everyone's best efforts, no one's found a way a way back or any of the gods' weaknesses.

[ There's a pause. ] There've also been injuries and casualties. Both Cullen and I were killed at different times. [ No big deal!! ] Other than that, what we've managed to do is a lot of plotting and swearing without many results to show for it. It's that all around, unfortunately.

I'm not so sure. They claim to not have the power to send us back - Most of what they talk about when people are coming and going is a Door. Maker knows what that means; I've seen no signs of anything literal.

[ Not a huge, ominous door, that is. ]

Hope did, yes. [ She isn't sure that the others have the ability. ] He's done the same for... dozens. There have been a lot of deaths.

[ Which makes sense, considering the nature of Hadriel. ]

I imagine raising the dead gives people hope.

[ It had, in fact. When Cullen had died, she'd been angry, fearful, and a host of other emotions, of course, but she'd had to have hope that she would see him again. If not... ]

Otherwise, all that raw emotion - power - would go to some of the others. Hope doesn't want that.

It seems that way. Why else would they work so hard to draw it from us? [ Beat. ] And, when Hope gathers enough energy for himself, he's able to resurrect another of their kind.
