Garrett woke up gradually as the sunlight shone through the balcony. With his eyes still closed, he hugged the warm body in his arms closer to him. "Hmm… Isabela, I miss your smell so much… your smell of… of… elfroots?!"

Garrett opened his eyes wide and looked at the body he was cuddling. His inner voice screamed into his ears, somehow. "Maker's breath! This is Lady Lavellan!" He was then totally awake.

Slowly, he tilted his head and looked down at their bodies. Their limbs were tangled together. And they were naked. His inner voice whispered, "Aww… look at her… so small and yet can be so titillating". Garrett could not stop himself as he moved his fingers onto her toned stomach.

Ellana'ra stirred and snuggled closer into Garrett. "Morning, Leli." She muttered as she ran her fingers through a hairy chest. "Wait. Hairy chest?!" She opened her eyes instantly and found herself staring at Garrett's hairy chest. Then other naked parts of him. "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Garrett screamed together with Ellana'ra and rolled backwards, fell off the bed with a crash, knocking into a bedside drawer and pulling off the blanket. Ellana'ra grabbed a pillow and hugged it in front of her chest. "Why are you on me bed?!"

"I don't know! I think I was supposed to walk you back from the tavern?"

"And walk into my bed?!"

Garrett stood up and wrapped the blanket around him. He scratched the back of his neck as he muttered. "I guess we were both rather… drunk?"

"You think?!" Ellana'ra squinted at the partially naked Champion.

"Do you… remember what happened last night?" Ellana'ra muttered as she hugged her pillow tight. Garrett sheepishly walked back to the bed and sat next to her. "I… I did. But I thought I was in the Fade… Do you remember anything?"

Ellana'ra nodded slowly as she blushed. "I thought I was dreaming but… I can… I can feel my soreness…"

"Uh… I'm sorry…"

"I… didn't say it's a bad kind of… soreness…"

"Uh… Oh!" Garrett shifted closer to Ellana'ra with a smug smile. "So it was… not that bad huh, Lady Lavellan?"

"Pffft. Or perhaps things always seem better in dreams, as compared to the reality, Ser Hawke?" Ellana'ra patted Garrett's beard and smirked.

"Then perhaps we should have a re-evalution now, since we're both awake?" Garrett leaned in and dared to kiss Ellana'ra lightly on her lips.

"Hmm… I don't know if I'll be disappointed… " She kissed back, nipping lightly on his lower lips as she removed the pillow between them. Garrett removed the blanket around him and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer.

"Your Worship, did you forget we have a meeting this morning? We have already received Lady Seryl's trebuchets… " Josephine strode into the room as she flipped through a report in her hands. When she looked up and saw Garrett and Ellana'ra on the bed, she froze on the spot.

"Eeeeeekkkkk!" Ellana'ra hid her body behind Garrett, while the Champion covered his lower body with the pillow. Both grinned sheepishly at the Ambassador.

"Champion… I thought you were with Isabela?"

"Uh… we kind of split up when I left Kirkwall… "
"Your Worship… I thought you were in relationship with Leliana?"

"I-It's… complicated."

Josephine just sighed and gestured to the two of them on the bed. "We can have the meeting in the war room when you are both… ready." Then she turned and walked down the stairs to leave the room.

"Uh… Lady Lavellan, I uh… think I need a moment before I can… get dressed." Garrett removed the pillow and pointed.

"Oh!" Ellana'ra giggled and shifted in front of Garrett. She sat on his laps and smirked. "I think I can help with your… predicament, Ser Hawke. And you can just call me Ella."

"And you can call me Garrett." Garrett grinned as he wrapped his arms around Ellana'ra's waist.

"And about Isabela… "
"She has already left. I don't think she'll return this time. But… I don't wish to be killed by your Spymaster… "

"Oh Leli… she has the Hero of Ferelden…"

Garrett lifted Ellana'ra's chin with his fingers and kissed her gently. "Well, you have the Champion of Kirkwall."

"I thought you don't use that title much anymore?" Ellana'ra chuckled softly as she returned his kiss.

By the time the Inquisitor and the Champion called for the meeting, it was already late afternoon.
