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.

"Enough to pay our passage across."

It's Nellie who's chiming in, a determined look on her face.

"We've still got our savings, and Anders and I have been making money from the apothecary...Cullen's been getting paid too, right?"

Cullen nods. "Not much, though. Lothering is a small town..."

"Then this trip will most likely only go one way." She sighs deeply. "Are you all ready to leave Ferelden?"

Anders nods quietly.

"We can always come back when the Blight is over, if we save up money in Kirkwall as well..."

"If we find somewhere to live there first. I'm not even sure if they'll let Nel and I back into the estate," Solona's brows furrow.

"If they don't...well, we'll manage somehow, right?"

Nellie's got a weak, hopefully smile on her face.

"We have to be absolutely certain about Kirkwall if we're taking up this man's offer. Does anyone have any final objections?"

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

They all have objections, but what choice do they really have? It's Kirkwall or nothing, and they know it.

"Cullen, just take the offer. Pay the man his bloody eight sovereigns and let's just go," Solona scowls.

Cullen nods and walks off to the man, pays him and gestures for the rest to follow him towards the ship.

Nellie, Anders, and Solona all follow Cullen onto the ship, settling in as best as possible. It's cramped and dark, but it's better than no save passage at all...

Cullen pulls Nellie close to him as he rests his back along a few dusty crates. "Maker," he grumbles, "eight sovereigns for this? We could have done better."

"What a perfect day to find out that I'm pregnant," Solona chuckles, trying to find the humor in the situation.

"Ah, and there's that," Cullen groans, rubbing the bridge of his nose in irritation. "We're going to have to worry about that when we reach Kirkwall as well."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Anders grumbles a bit. "We probably couldn't have done better...anything else would've been more than eight sovereigns..."

He sighs and wraps an arm around Solona.

"We'll be okay, somehow."

Nellie nods and smiles.

"Besides, this is only until the Blight's over."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"And how long will the Blight last? The third one took more than fifteen years to end," Solona groans, leaning against Anders.

"I...oh..."

Nellie's smile fades and she sighs quietly.

"Well...we'll just wait and see. At least we'll be safe..."
