Blackwall:

When she met the 'warden', Artemis was surprised to see him apologize for lying about being one of the Grey.

"It's okay Ser Rainier, you did what you thought you had too. And I am glad to see one of the fallen honoured by a recruit." She assured him.

"My thanks, my lady," he bowed to her.

"You should know, if you ever wish to join the Order for real, our Ferelden keep is in Amaranthine."

"I am honoured my lady, but I feel I would be unable to abandon the Inquisition," the thickly bearded man replied.

"Of course, I imagine it would put out a great many people, not least Lady Montilyet."

And Artemis left the stables with a smirk, before Blackwall could process what she had said.

Cole:

Artemis couldn't sleep; she tossed and turned, but her mind could not drift off.

Hoping a walk and some air would clear her head, she pulled on her robe, well the robe Josie gave her, and crept down the steps that led to the garden.

It was so peaceful at night, she thought as she sat on a bench. Artemis hand went to her pendent. A simple thing, compared to what most noble women would wear, but it had most meaning.

"Beautiful, beautiful. He said it often, always meant. Not like others. Rare and wonderful thing. Would he say it now, would he turn from the marks?" came a voice from the shadows.

"Ah, Cole," Artemis turned, "Tria told me of you. Can I help you?"

"No, I'm not hurting. You are," the boy looked sad, "I want to help."

"Help?" she questioned.

"You think he won't love you, but he said always. He meant it then, why not now?"

"A lot has happened since then, Cole. I haven't seen him in a few years. He might not like how I look now," Her hands went to her back, where the new scars covered her flesh, "I'm not sure I do, myself."

"You think he cares if you have scars," it wasn't a question, "But you know he won't, all he wanted was you to come back alive." The boy blinked.

"But you know that."

"Yes, I do, Cole. I know it's silly. I just…" Artemis sighed, "I'll feel better once I've seen him."

She looked at the boy, he had his arms awkwardly in between them being at his side and holding them out.

"Sometimes people feel better if they have hugs, but I don't know if you do," he explained.

Artemis chuckled, then stepped forward, with her arms out.

They hugged, wrapping their arms around each other.

When they parted, Cole asked, "Did I help?"

"Yes Cole, thank you." She gave him a small smile, then turned to go to her room.

She turned back to here he was stood. But he had vanished.
