Every time that I have ever asked Lan why he puts up with my bullshit - the coming and going at odd hours, acting like a cat that's only half-adopted a house, disappearing for a week at a time because I'm off somewhere with my partner and I just don't wanna come home... every time I ask, he gives me the same answer; something stupid and romantic about not puttin wild things in cages.

Watching the morning grow, I want to be able to thank him for that so badly it's almost physically painful.

I tried their way. I sat on my hands in the Hinterlands and I played good girl and I tried to let the officers handle it. You know what I remembered tonight? I'm not in the fucking military anymore.

I promised Carsis one more chance to get them talking (and oh merciful Loas, it both hurt and felt so damn good to be able to give that man a hug), but I ain't goin back to my comfortable little cage. I'll make a run in to grab some things tonight, after most folk on the stone've gone to bed, but that's the last time I'm ever walkin into that house.

I gotta talk to Eli.
