The bermuda cluster

Well, this has turned into quite the reunion, definitely not what I expected when I dropped by! Alaric’s focus was in tatters, he’d gone there to talk about Meg’s opinion of the Sylvas, but now there was Revas whom he’d hoped was still alive but feared the worst after all these years, and Ruth, who he’d very much enjoyed his time with, even if he wasn’t in love with Ruth, he had proven just the distraction that Alaric had needed at the time.

Still, perhaps it's exactly what we all needed. A reminder of the bonds we share and the history that connects us. Alaric smiled, gratitude and warmth radiating from him despite the chaos of the moment. It felt good to be with people he knew, not that he didn’t know anyone in Ferelden, he’d known Anders for about as long as he’d known Meg, but it still felt good being around them all. The world could be a large and scary place, but in this moment it suddenly felt a bit smaller and a bit less terrifying.
