#okay but who wears the fur cloak better my lavellan or cullen

[serafinetheangel]

This is a very small gift for @kawereen , hope you don’t mind if I’m almost two days late and I really hope you like it :)

P.S.: This is the setting, its name is “Lago di Arpy”, and this is Calanthae Lavellan.

“Why do we have to come back already? Can’t we stay a little more?”.

The piercing sound of Artemis’ disapproval tone broke the silence but Lyliane shook her head and went on putting her things in the bag.

“Look at the sun. It might not look like that but it already started to set and we just have no more than the hours it takes to get back to the village”. Lyliane sighed. “And believe me, it is better to be already back home at night”.

Artemis sighed after the elf, she was born there and it wouldn’t be wise not to listen to her even if that place was beautiful. She looked at the landscape once more, the wild landscape of the Frostback Mountains in autumn. Sitting on the grass, Artemis looked at the crystal clear water of the alpine lake that reflected the blue of an afternoon sky, the silhouettes of the pines already turning into a warm tone of orange on fields covered with golden grass and the peaks of the mountains wearing their usual snow caps.

A sudden gust of cold wind made Artemis stand up and fasten her blue cloak with a white border of fur, then her light blue eyes crossed Lyliane’s peaceful gaze. The silver Vallaslin on her forehead looked almost gold in the warm light of the setting sun.

“Alright, now I’m ready to leave”, she uttered, fastening the quiver with bow and arrows on her back. Lyliane’s eyebrows rose with surprise only for a second, then a wide smile appeared on her face.

“Good to hear it”. Lylie set the bag on her shoulder and checked the sheath of the sword to be tied to the belt, then she started walking down the narrow path that crossed the field and led to her village.

“I assume you liked this little hike we made today”, the elf added while looking at the curvy path in front of her. She heard Artemis softly laugh behind her.

“I can’t say that a four hours hike on a path like this one is a little one but I loved the lake! Thank you, Lylie”.

A rumble reached her ears and Lyliane suddenly stopped, looking around for thunderstorm clouds that seemed nowhere to be seen, and Artemis almost hit her back.

“Hey, what…?”, she asked, confused by the elf’s behaviour.

“What was that sound?”, Lyliane answered with another question, turning back and looking at her friend. Artemis stroked the scruff of her neck.

“Oh, that sound? Ahem… I’m afraid it was my stomach. Aren’t you hungry?”.

The elf and the human looked into each other’s eyes, and they burst out laughing.

Later, at Lyliane’s home…

“Calanthae Lavellan, will you ever stop laughing at me?”.

Cullen Rutherford was standing arms crossed in the middle of the small kitchen, watching the blonde mage who was almost doubled over with laughter. Calanthae had always seen him like the super busy and authoritative Commander of the Forces of the Inquisition and couldn’t really imagine that one day he would stand in front of her covered with flour. Actually, most of the kitchen was covered with flour.

“Lylie will kill us both if she’ll see the conditions of her kitchen”.

Cullen knew that Calanthae was right. There were bowls, wooden spoons and dishes everywhere as well as the flour, a consequence of the afternoon spent trying to cook something good for dinner and to bake an apple cake. Lyliane brought Arry on a hike and Cullen was happy to be able to work on a surprise for her.

He looked out of the small window, it was already dark and Lylie and Arry weren’t home but it wouldn’t take long.

“Help me Calanthae. It is better to clean up this mess before the two arrive”.

Calanthae took his request seriously and rolled up her sleeves.

“Yes, Commander!”, she answered and laughed. “Oh, where did Lylie hide the gift?”.

“She told me it was hidden in her wardrobe”.

“Okay, I’ll get it”. Calanthae rushed upstairs into Lyliane’s bedroom and looked for the weapon into the wardrobe. Cullen, Lylie and Calanthae decided to give her a new bow as a gift, but it shouldn’t be a simple one. In fact, it was crafted by the elves of Lyliane’s Clan and then she carved the elegant, elfic patterns herself.

There it was, well hidden behind her clothes. Calanthae added a blue ribbon to the bow and ran back to Cullen, there was no time to lose.

The night sky in Enyladell looked like a dome covered with bright stars. Arry stretched a little bit while Lylie was opening the door.

“I’m so tired I think I’d sleep for at least 10 hours”. Lyliane laughed.

“Weren’t you hungry?”.

“Don’t underrate me. I can be both”.

Lyliane opened the door, but all that Arry could see inside was darkness. The elf left her bag and cloak in the small entrance and suddenly the sweet smell of an apple cake reached her nose.

Followed by Arry, she went straight to the kitchen where suddenly a bright light lit the room. The table was set for dinner with lots of delicious food and an apple cake that really looked appetizing. On a chair, there was the bow carved by Lylie and embellished with a ribbon and behind the table, Cullen and Calanthae were standing proud of their work and they suddenly shout “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”.
