Hi! I have been taking prompts on my Tumblr page, bert-wrighty, and this was the first one i received yesterday.
Josephine taking the Inquisitor on a shopping date.
The lights shone beautifully down onto Val Royeaux's market square. Rays of light bounced off the wonderfully clear water in the fountain, reflecting back onto the lion heads that adorned it.
On a stage to the west of the fountain, a chanter was repeating the chant of light, surrounded by a crowd of interested people, both foreigners and Orlesians alike.
To their right, a large market stall had been set up, selling everything from nug treats to battle axes.
Sulahn'nehn Lavellan stood tall, tall for an elf at least, in the midst of it all. Her long, robes flowed from her. She had designed them herself, with a bit of help from Dagna, long keeper robes lined with dragon webbing. Her hat, designed by herself again, was modelled after a usual Orlesian design, long and floppy but it showed off her ginger hair.
She smiled, and her vallaslin crinkled, as she looked at her partner with love. Josephine was staring at a small doll, holding it up with care.
"It's very nice, vhenan," Su sighed. They had been in the market for hours now. She loved seeing Josephine so happy, of course, but this was something else. "Do you want it?"
"Nice yes, but it's not right. There's something missing, something important." Josephine didn't look up. She held the doll to the light and sighed. "Do you have any others?" She asked the vendor, who grunted and looked in his chests.
"You're very lucky that you're so cute, you know." The elf laughed, reaching for Josephine's hand. "I wouldn't have spent so long in this shem city otherwise."
Josephine's cheeks coloured, and Sulahn'nehn had to resist kissing her then and there. "I," the ambassador started before smiled. "You just wanted to make me blush again, didn't you?"
"Guilty as charged, my love." She kissed her, the temptation was just too much and Su was never good at resisting temptation. "Ar lath ma, Josie."
"I love you too," Josephine's eyes darted past Su's shoulders and lit up. "Oh!" She squealed and pushed her lover out of the way.
Sulahn'nehn stumbled as she span to watch her run to the other side of the market, finally stopping at a stall and grabbing for a red-headed elven doll.
"Oh no," she sighed as she recognised who it was.
"Oh yes!" Josie squeaked. "I finally found it. I had heard rumours but it is just as exquisite as I'd imagined."
"It's me, isn't it?" Resignation set in as she wrapped an arm around Josephine's waist. "Mythal'enaste, why is there a doll of me?"
"You're a hero! Two years ago you defeated Corypheus, and only now will people make dolls of you. Cullen has had a doll since even before that." Josie's voice was high pitched, and a crowd had formed around them.
"Creators, you're lucky I love you."
