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.

"I know," Solona sighs. "I'm quite worried about Nellie. She's probably going to scold me for this later." Still, she was extremely happy she got to spend that time with Anders. She kisses him softly on the lips. "I'll see you for dinner then."

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.

Anders smiles and pulls away, kissing her quietly as he dresses again. "I'd better go and actually take that bath now, huh?"

Nellie smiles into the kiss, kissing him harder as she leans back.

Solona stands, fixing her hair and tying it into a bun. "Wash that dirt off your body, you filthy man," she teases as she pulls her robes back on. She kisses him back and makes her way towards the door.

"Hey Anders?" she says, right before she exits.

Cullen dips her, grinning as the kiss deepens even more. Her boldness makes him feel bolder. That along with the alcohol. His hand caresses her leg and pulls it up to wrap against his waist.

Anders laughs and nods, waving his hand at her. "As my lady wishes!"

He nods at her, sitting down on the bed. "Yeah?"

Nellie gasps, moaning slightly, nipping at his lip slightly.

"Cullen..."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

She moves back to the bed, leaning in to kiss him. "I love you." Then she starts blushing and hurriedly exits the room. Maker's breath, why did she even say that? Not like she didn't mean it but-- well, no turning back now.

A moan escapes Cullen's mouth. Absently, he pushes her against a wall, pinning her between his arms, still kissing her deeply. What drove him to the point of grinding against her body escapes him.

Anders' eyes widen, and he moves to go after her. His bath can wait a moment, he's got to talk to her about this. She can't just say that and run like that!

"Sol, wait!"

Nellie gasps, moaning more, arms wrapped around him tightly.

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

Solona's eyes widen in surprise. She didn't expect him to run after her. She stops in the middle of the hallway, slowly turning around to face him.

"I-- I'm sorry I mentioned it! It was in the heat of the moment and I don't know what I was thinking!"

Cullen sighs, moving his kisses down to her neck, nibbling at her flesh. Maker help him that he'd be able to resist going further than that.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Anders shrugs and smiles. "No, Sol...it's okay. I just..."

Aw, hell. He wants to kiss her. But he can't.

"I...I love you too, Sol..."

Nellie gasps, arching against him.

"Ah, Cullen...!"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

She blushes but then smiles anyway. "But you always say tha--!" A noise interrupts her. Coming from her room. Sounding suspiciously like a moan.

"What in the world?" She walks over to her door and opens it only to reveal Cullen and Nellie making out against a wall.

With that, Cullen freezes. The kissing has stopped but his hands are still on her body; one on her bum, the other at the small of her back. Then he blushes. Profusely. Maker help him.

"Nellie?" Solona gasps, flustered.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie and Cullen immediately pull away, both redface and embarrassed.

"Ah, Solona, you're back! How was your trip into town?"

She's got to deflect the attention now. Oh, Maker, they're in trouble.

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Ah!" Solona replies a bit flustered as well. "It was interesting. Lots of interesting characters."

Cullen clears his throat. "I-- Uh, Nellie. I should be returning to my room now, yes?"

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie blushes and nods quickly.

"Er...it was really nice talking to you, Cullen..."

Anders chuckles and shakes his head behind them. He still hasn't taken his bath...but he can wait and take it after Cullen goes to sleep.

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

Cullen smiles. "I-it was nice too, Nel." He rushes out of the room blushing, avoiding eye contact with both Solona and Anders.

Once the boys are out of the room, Solona turns to Nellie with a smirk. "I knew you were going to distract him, Nels but I didn't think you were going to distract him like that."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie's bright red, and she looks away.

"Well, we were talking at first...it was nice, but you two got too loud!"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Ah! Sorry! We got erm..." Solona avoids Nellie's eyes. "Carried away." She turns towards the bath. "Is it alright if I go first, by the way? I need to wash up," she says awkwardly.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie raises an eyebrow and nods.

"Anders didn't get a chance to bathe, did he? How's he going to explain that to Cullen?"

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

Solona gulps. "Well, he'll find a way. I hope."

Cullen reenters his room and makes his way towards his bed, sitting down and burying his face into a pillow. "Not a word, Anders."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie frowns. "I have an idea. If you don't mind sharing a bath with me, Anders could take my bathtime..."

It's not like she and Solona haven't had to do this before...but they haven't had to do this since they were small.

Anders just smirks.

"I won't say anything."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Or," Solona bites her lip, trying to hide the huge grin that was spreading on her face. "Why not Anders and I have a bath and you go first?"

Cullen groans. The mage was going to bring it up eventually. He just knew it.

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie sighs. She knew she would say that. "You two can't have sex while having a bath, you know...and what if somebody comes to check up on you while bathing? How do you explain that away?"

She's not opposed to the idea, but she's concerned about getting caught.

Anders just smirks, sitting down on the bed. He'll wait to say something.

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"We, err... Lock the door?" She shrugs it off though. "Well, the two of us in a bath can work as well. I've got to warn you though. I have Anders all over me." Solona grins wickedly.

Cullen brings the pillow down and glares at Anders. "What?"

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie sighs. "Well...if you really want to take a bath with Anders, I guess you can, but we just need to be careful, that's all."

Anders whistles innocently.

"OH, nothing...just didn't think you had it in you, Cullen."

[amellsinferno.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Solona grimaces. "It's just that I said some things and he said some things and I think we need to talk about them for a while."

Cullen scowls. "Had what in me? Maker, Anders, please don't. Really. Please don't start."

[apostate-amell.livejournal.com]

Nellie nods.

"Okay. You two just really need to be careful, okay...? I don't want to go back to the Tower, Sol..."

She sighs. "You two go first, okay?"

Anders smiles and shakes his head.

"Don't worry, I won't."

"Nellie, the templars would have to go through me first before they get to you," Solona smiles apologetically. She kisses her sister on the cheek. "Thanks, Nel. Why don't you and Cullen go down for dinner first?"

"Somehow I doubt that," Cullen rolls his eyes.
