It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous, standing there and letting him grasp what she has told him, and the implications behind it. He will understand what she's done, of course, but she isn't sure how he'll take it. If he'll just be angry again, that she's once more chosen to prioritize him over what may be the wisest decision.
Well, it doesn't change what she's done. He can't unknow the knowledge.
And then he's reaching out, and before she can truly grasp what's happening, his arms are around her, and she's enveloped by her beloved, held like something desperately, ardently desired, and how can she do anything but reciprocate? She clings to him with just as much fervor, face pressed into his chest.
Perhaps it had been a bad decision, but it was the right one. The only one she could make.
Together, she had told him. They would walk Din'anshiral together. Wherever their decisions led. She had told him this many times, though she suspected that now, he would be forced to believe her. What other choice had he? She could not leave his side and go to the Veilguard, for when they found her betrayal, they would take it as seriously as they had done with Solas.
Which suited her just fine.
"I do owe you an apology." She mumbles into his chest, still holding him tightly. "I was composing it when you came in, but my temper got the better of me. I should not have spoken so casually of my intentions, and I knew you would be unhappy to hear them. I was unkind and temperamental. Forgive me, my love."
