Solona had been giving it some thought ever since Anders brought it up. Escape the tower together? Her, Nellie, him and even Cullen? It was crazy but the way Anders explained it, it just might work. Surprisingly, Cullen agreed to do it, with Nellie's powers of persuasion of course.

So now the four of them are off to escape the Tower. Hopefully everything goes according to plan.

Cullen groans again before kissing Nellie on the cheek. "You both should get changed, by the way. Get some clean clothes and a hot bath."

"Ah, a hot bath," Solona sighs. Ever since Calenhad and the long, cold night before, it's all she thought of.

"I asked the owner to bring up hot water at our command so just call him and he'll send someone up." He gives Nellie's hand a reassuring squeeze before letting go. "Anders, we should give them some privacy."

Nellie smiles and blushes, nodding.

"A bath sounds good, actually...really, really good."

Anders nods.

"Fine. We can go set up the rooms. Do we get baths too, though?"

"For the love of Andraste, please take yours when I'm not in the room," Cullen groans. He turns to Nellie one final time to plant a kiss on her lips. "I'll see you for dinner, love," he smiles, the alcohol he had earlier making him bolder.

Solona scoots over to Anders' side and whispers to him, while Cullen and Nellie are distracted. "So, since you're going to be alone in your room for your bath..." She grins impishly.

Anders groans at the two lovebirds before smirking at Solona.

"I love the way you think, dear."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Shall I bring the wine along with me?"

[chantrygoesboom.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Maker, yes."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Perfect," Solona grins. It'll just be like sneaking around the tower except the only templar they have to worry about was Cullen. Now, she only needed to find a way to distract him-- but then again, the perfect distraction was right with them in that room. She'd have to talk to Nellie later.

"What are you two whispering about?" Cullen eyes the two of them skeptically, hesitantly breaking eye contact with Nellie.

Anders smiles at Cullen, the picture of innocence to somebody who didn't know any better.

"Oh, nothing..."

Nellie raises an eyebrow at this. Oh, they are so up to something. She'll bug Solona about it later.

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

Cullen shrugs it off. "We'll leave you two then, right Anders?"

Solona nods, a bit too eagerly. "Yeah! Lots of girly stuff to get to. You both get out of here."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

"Right! Have fun, ladies!" Anders grins at the girls, winking at Solona before leaving with Cullen, leaving Solona and Nellie alone.

Nellie just gives her sister a look.

"What are you two planning?"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Sister," Solona purrs, "I have a proposition for you."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie raises an eyebrow.

"Before you say anything, may I remind you that we're trying to keep a low profile so we don't draw suspicion to us and our...er...condition?"

She sighs but continues.

"What are you planning?"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"First and foremost," Solona wags a finger at Nellie, "it won't draw attention to us at all if we play our cards right." She crosses her arms over her chest, grinning from ear to ear. "Especially if it's in the privacy of our own rooms. And if I just happen to visit Anders' room for like-- oh, let's say, an hour, maybe less, that won't cause much suspicion, right?"

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie sighs, pinching her brow.

"What do you want me to do...? And if you're going to have sex, please be quiet about it..."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

Solona giggles uncontrollably. She was so proud that her sister could read her quite easily and clearly. "Just," she shrugs, "distract Cullen with your femininity."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie sighed.

"Fine. Just be quiet you two, and try not to do anything that will attract attention."

She and Cullen will spend some time together. She wants to show him some of the letters her mother wrote her when she was little. That'll keep them busy for an hour.

"You get one hour."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"You're the best!" Solona grins, practically pouncing on her sister for a hug. "Besides, alone time with Cullen." She waggles her eyebrows.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie smiles slightly, hugging Solona back.

"You owe me, sister dearest...and I know."

She's gone a nice shade of pink now, blushing.

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"So, if ever you two... Well, you know. Not that I want to think about my younger sister in that way much." Solona makes a face. "Be quiet."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie goes bright red.

"Solona! We're...not yet, okay? Jeez!!"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thank the Maker!" Solona exhales in relief. "Because if you two were..." She gives Nellie a look. "Cullen and I would have to have the talk and all."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie groans.

"We're not like that yet, Sol, we're taking it slow...so don't go scaring him with the talk yet, okay?"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Oh, Nel," Solona looks at her sister with a knowing smile. "Don't you notice the way he looks at you? Even if I gave him the talk or scared him shitless with a fireball to the face, I don't think he'd ever leave your side."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie blinks for a minute, before slowly smiling and shaking her head.

"I know, Sol. I'd never leave him, either...just try not to scare him anyway, please?"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"I'll try my best not to," Solona winks. "Now, I hate to interrupt our little bonding moment but on to the distraction, yes?"

Cullen was downstairs talking to the owner of the tavern about possible routes to take, any news of the roads and the current situation in Lothering.
