"I have made very few things easy for you. Even falling in love with you." The anchor, the mountain, her love for him, the events that cost her her arm, even the events that he had not witnessed yet--all of it weighed heavily on him. Burdened him. She was sure that he would not undo it, but--
She had a policy with Solas: That she didn't ask questions she didn't want to know the answers to. But it was, on occasion, very hard not to. He had tried not to love her. The knowledge sat like a pebble in her shoe.
But she had also told him not to lie.
"You are not a monster." This part, at least, is easy enough. She pulls her face away from his chest, to press a kiss to the corner of his mouth. "I do not care if you do not believe what I have told you will come to pass, but I have seen it, and not even at your worst, are you a monster. You are what you have always been: A man doing what he thinks he must." Then another little kiss, and another. "We will walk together, Solas, and death will not come for either of us. The others think they have won, but it is us who are the ultimate victors, for we have each other, and time cannot touch us."
