How like Vhenan to think first of the politics of their situation, to consider his safety, and the interference of the Veilguard. So caught up had he been in despair, and in plans for the future, in his own work and power, and in Felassan's concerns...

...He had, for some few, blessed weeks, forgotten about them entirely.

Yes, she says, and he bows towards her in naked relief; having come this far, this honestly, he cannot hide it from her now. One hurdle past, and he will not need to sleep by her side, and kiss her in the morning, and love her whilst also hiding from her his actual motives. He will not need to lie, to save Felassan, not to her; Solas knows better than most, what a privilege that lack of choice truly is. Faith, answered with faith, and hope with hope. His smile is soft, tender and real.

"Ma Serannas," He whispers, eyes closed and pressed close, his brow right against hers, as near as a kiss, and vows to deserve it, "I will not betray the faith you put in me, Vhenan. Never again."

She watches Solas bow before her, then he presses his forehead against hers, and Beleth closes her eyes, taking in the feeling of him. Of the two of them, together. Working as one. It's almost perfect -- almost. There's one thing that weighs on her, the knowledge that she's carried with her this entire time, since first she reached for Solas when the two of them found each other in Caldera.

He still wants to tear down the Veil. And now he'll have the instruments to do it.

But she's committed to this path, now. And she knows, she knows that Solas can see reason. That he will see reason, eventually. Will all of this mess with the timeline? If Solas escapes, if they all escape, will they be in his time, or her own? But Solas is right -- she's putting her faith in him. She'll trust him, just like she always has. It'll work out. It has to.

"I know," She says, soft but confident, hands cupping his face gently. "I know. Everything is going to work out. I love you, so much. Always."
