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 smiles back. "I-- My father never forced me into becoming a templar. It's just that he wore his armor so well and had been ever since I was born. And his sword," he sighs dreamily, "I've never seen a better sword in all my life. I swore to myself that I would learn to wield one someday and then I did; and then I became a templar."
It was good to open up to her about this. He doesn't know why he never did so before.
"Denerim is... Nice, yes. Busy. Full of buildings. A grand market place as well."

Date: 2011-10-05 04:23 pm (UTC)"I know. But I haven't done anything for you yet, love..."
One of his hands is tracing small circles on her stomach, and it goes lower, reaching between her gets as he smirks and inserts a finger into her.
Nellie's eyes widen at the idea of a big marketplace. She's always liked those big areas with all the stalls and goods around.
"Your father would be proud of you, Cullen. You're a good templar. You're not like the others, you're fair and you don't think we're all monsters the minute you see us."
She was always used to templars hating her because she was a mage, and templars treating her poorly for the same reasons. Cullen was different, and she loved that about him.
"Do you have any siblings?"
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 04:40 pm (UTC)Cullen blushes. It's not the first time Nellie has praised his being different from the others but just to have her say it again makes his heart flutter. "Thank you," he replies, "although not all of us see mages as monsters, believe it or not. Father taught me to be fair." He shakes his head at her question. "There's only me. Sadly. It would have been nice to have a sister or a brother or both, honestly."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 04:43 pm (UTC)He smiles, moving his finger in and out of her, before inserting another finger.
Nellie smiles. "Your father sounds like a good man. Did he work at the Circle too, or did he serve at a Chantry?"
She laughs a bit.
"I have to admit, I'm a little jealous. Solona and I never knew our father."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 04:58 pm (UTC)"My father works at the Denerim Chantry, actually," Cullen replies with a smile, wondering if he'd ever see his father again. Then he thinks about the horrified look on his father's face when he finds out that his only son suddenly disappeared. "It was a bit painful to leave them when I was assigned to the Circle but he told me that whatever I did, he'd be proud." And hopefully he would approve of Cullen's actions now.
He squeezes Nellie's hand. "Never knew your father? You mother never married?"
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:02 pm (UTC)Nellie nods quietly, squeezing Cullen's hand.
"We could maybe visit your father, once things are a bit more settled...and you should write him."
She shrugs, shaking her head.
"Well, Mother was married, but they divorced after I was born. And Mother said that her husband wasn't mine and Solona's father, but she never talked about it. Grandfather got angry every time she tried."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:09 pm (UTC)"I suppose I should," Cullen sighs. "But not now. We can't risk it at the moment." But he would write his father eventually. He had to let him know that his son isn't dead. Also, he had to know why Cullen decided to escape the order so unbecomingly. He looks at Nellie with surprise. "Why would your grandfather not want you to know your true father's identity?"
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:13 pm (UTC)Nellie nods.
"You should. I imagine he'd worry about you otherwise...and I'm sure he'll still be proud of you even though you left the Circle."
She just shrugs again.
"Grandfather had his reasons. The Amell family was nobility in Kirkwall, and if I remember correctly, he was trying to become Viscount, so there must have been a reason. Mother always looked so sad talking about Father, but she never spoke of him in the past tense..."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:32 pm (UTC)Cullen chuckles awkwardly. "Probably not so proud about abandoning my duties." He squeezes her hand again. "You think he's still alive then?"
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:36 pm (UTC)Smirking, he slides his fingers out of her, sucking on them.
"You taste delicious, Sol."
Nellie just shrugs.
"You're not abandoning your duties, Cullen. You're still serving the Maker by looking after people, and technically, you are still watching 3 mages. You're just not doing it at the Tower, that's all....and I guess he could be. I don't know. Solona and I never met him, and Mother didn't give us anything to go on as far as looking for him...then we got sent to the Gallows, and it wouldn't make sense to try and look in there."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:47 pm (UTC)"Unless he was a mage, of course," Cullen points out. "Magical abilities are usually genetic. Your father could have been in the Gallows and you wouldn't have known."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:49 pm (UTC)"Oh, I think you know what that is, love. You want this, don't you?"
They have to move fast...but he can do fast.
Nellie just shrugs.
"It's possible, but the Amell family has always had magic in its blood. Solona and I aren't the first mages born in the Amell family. I figured it probably came from our side, not his."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 05:54 pm (UTC)"It couldn't hurt to think about it though," Cullen smiles. "If ever we do make it to Kirkwall, we could ask around, you know. Maybe visit your mother's home and look for answers there."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 06:19 pm (UTC)And he thrusts into her with barely any warning.
Nellie smiles.
"I'd like that. I'd like to see Mother again too, if she's still alive...I miss her..."
Her smile falls a bit.
"Her letters stopped coming shortly before Solona and I were transferred to Ferelden. Solona never said why, but I think she knew something I didn't...I doubt she's still alive, but...well, I don't know for sure."
She just shrugs, trying to change the topic.
"What about your mother?"
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 06:26 pm (UTC)Cullen grimaces. "My mother... Well, she passed away."
Just then, Cullen hears a noise coming from his room. "Did you hear that?" Cullen suddenly turns all serious. "I'm going to go check up on Anders."
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 06:30 pm (UTC)Nellie blinks. Oh, Maker, Solona...dammit!
Nellie just shakes her head, squeezing Cullen's hand.
"I'm sure he's okay. Trust me, from some of the stories Solona's told me, he gets...er...very into his bath."
She goes bright red, groaning a bit.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 06:38 pm (UTC)Cullen eyes Nellie skeptically. "It was a rather high pitch to be Anders.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-05 06:39 pm (UTC)And Nellie just looks away, sighing, face still red.
why. did. i. put. 'piano'?
Date: 2011-10-06 01:38 am (UTC)Cullen scowls. "What's happening in there, Nellie?" He sighs. "Do I even want to know?"
subconscious desire for music?
Date: 2011-10-06 01:40 am (UTC)Nellie just sighs, shaking her head.
"No."
And then she pulls Cullen in and kisses him, hard.
probably. i don't even know what I was thinking HAHAHA sleepy jessie was sleepy
Date: 2011-10-06 01:43 am (UTC)Cullen's eyes fly wide open. Nellie never initiated things this eagerly. He takes a while to recover before finally giving into the kiss, wrapping his arms around her and tilting his head for better access.
It's okay. Sleepy makes you act odd, that's all.
Date: 2011-10-06 01:49 am (UTC)He sighs, happy.
"As much as I wish you could stay, we're running on a tight schedule..."
Nellie was surprised by her own eagerness, honestly. Maybe it was the whole covering for Solona thing, or maybe it was her newfound freedom. But she kissed him back, hard, wrapping an arm around his waist, pulling him close.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-06 01:54 am (UTC)Cullen pulls her by the waist, arching her into his body and pressing her close against him. "Nellie," he sighs her name into the kiss, his hands exploring the curves of her back.

Date: 2011-10-06 01:56 am (UTC)Nellie smiles into the kiss, kissing him harder as she leans back.
