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.

"Anders is in his own category, yes," Cullen snorts, finishing the last of his pork. Maker, was he full. "That was amazing stuff. Pity they're just in a small town."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

"If it wasn't so close to the Tower, I'd say we should stay here, but...well, we've got a good plan. And I have a feeling that not sticking to a plan is what got Anders in trouble before."

She shrugged and smiled at him.

"We can always come back when everything dies down or when Anders manages to find your phylacteries," Cullen says in a low voice. "And yes, I'm pretty certain that's what got him caught over and over again. Sometimes I doubt he has plans at all."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie smiles and nods.

"Well, that's why it's a good thing we're here. We'll be okay, I just know it."

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

"So optimistic of you," Cullen smiles. But it's late and they needed to be off at an early start. "Nels, I think it would be best if we went to bed soon. We're leaving probably just an hour after dawn."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie nods.

"Probably a smart idea. Neither of us have taken baths yet either, and Solona and Anders need to eat what we bring them upstairs...so you've got the right idea here."

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

"But where will they eat while we have our baths? Will they be down here or what?"

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

She shrugged.

"I guess they'll have to figure that out, won't they?"

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

"Those two are always causing such troubles," Cullen scowls and rubs the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "But, as long as we don't get caught, it's alright." He looks over at her plate. "Are you through? We can call for the check now if you'd like."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

"But if anybody knows how to sneak around, it'd be them. I doubt they'll be the reason we get caught."

She nods and smiles.

"Ready whenever you are, ser Templar."

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

"You have a point," Cullen says, "somewhat." He smirks and calls the owner over for the bill. He pays the check and the two are ready to move upstairs. Cullen gets up quickly, moving to Nellie's side to pull her chair backwards out of courtesy.

Nellie just gives him another grin, nodding at him as she stands up.

"Come, ser Templar. Let us retire, for we have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow."

She's fighting the urge to giggle, and it shows.

Cullen stands as well. "Thank you for the meal, Werian. It was delicious." The owner nods at him beaming and Cullen turns to Nellie with a smile. "I will walk you to your quarters, Sister."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, ser."

She smiles and takes his arm, going upstairs. Once they're upstairs and safely out of earshot from anybody downstairs, she bursts into giggles.

Cullen looks down the hallway and no one's there. He takes the chance to lean down and kiss her longingly before anyone can interrupt them.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie kisses him back, slowly and gently, smiling and hugging him slightly.

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

Cullen runs his fingers through Nellie's hair, tiling her head upwards to deepen the kiss. He reluctantly pulls away though, breathless. "I'll see you in the morning?" he whispers.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

She nods, whining a bit as he pulls away.

"I'll be here, love."

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

Cullen smiles, leaning down to kiss her again. Maker, did her lips taste sweet. "I'm just across the hall. Call if you need me."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie nods, smiling at Cullen and waving as she enters the room she's sharing with Solona.

"Sweet dreams, Cullen."

[knightcullen.livejournal.com]

"Sleep well, Nellie," he smiles as he disappears into his room.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie smiles and giggles a bit as she enters her room, leaning against the door with a big grin on her face before going to flop down on the bed.

Solona's sleep is disturbed by Nellie. Not that she was complaining. She wasn't really that asleep to begin with. "What are you all giddy about?"

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie grins at Solona.

"Sorry, sorry...Cullen and I just had a very nice dinner, that's all."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

Solona's voice is muffled by the pillow her face was pressed against on. "Where's my food?" she groans.
