[visitant]

I can! [ He insists, this one is small, he can fix this one. It is not wrapped in sorrow that threatens to down, sorrow that eats and blocks and resists. He wants to help, wants to make this better if he can. ]

Sudden, no warning, thought you might have fell. Wanted to know, ask, why.

[dirth]

Cole. Please.

[ And the familiar snap strikes between them; he does what he can to reach and cut Cole off from being able to feel him. It's too much too soon and Solas cannot handle it. ]

[visitant]

[ Cole gasps, eyes wide and shocked, scared. It's gone. No. His head drops, his alarmingly large hat obscuring his face. It hurts, a second and the hurt is gone, replaced by confusion. Why is it gone? Why won't he let him help? ]

I'm sorry.

[dirth]

No, Cole. I am sorry.

[ He steps closer, leaning down. This is this spirit's purpose and he is denying it; Solas can only imagine the pain that must cause. He remembers his friend, chained and turned, and his lips twist. ]

I cannot let you touch what you cannot help. It will torture you.

[visitant]

[ He does not understand. He helps, that is what he does, that is what he is, so he does not understand why Solas won't let him. Why he can't help Solas like Solas has helped him. If Solas was not there, the Inquisitor might not have let him stay. ]

I don't hate you, Solas.

[ The knot is gone, hidden from him, he cannot tug it anymore or unravel, but even so... he still tries. Words instead of pulling, taking the pain and guilt and leaving him lighter. ]

I am happy.

[dirth]

[ He tenses, for a moment, careful, measured, before he shakes his head. He doesn't want to hear the words - he doesn't deserve them. His cowardice and his mistake is a burden he needs to have to himself. ]

You are. We did the right thing, the Inquisitor and I.

[ They didn't follow Varric's path. Carefully, Solas steps away, the floor cold against his feet. ]

We should continue.

[visitant]

[ He lifts his head then, watches. Solas, Solas, sorrow. He wishes he could help, he wishes Solas could understand that he could help. Forget. ]

Where are going?

[dirth]

To find our friends, of course.

[ He says it with as much of a smile as he can manage. ]

Though it might not be so easy.
