She wasn't the same when she returned from the future. She was more reclusive for a few days.

I could still sense her emotions clearly, even though it had been long enough after the Breach was sealed. Our connection should not have been this strong anymore, if existent at all.

I could take it anymore, though. She was feeling so much turmoil. I had to see her after a while. I had to find what happened that she wasn't telling the rest of us.

She wouldn't look at me at first, she hadn't since she had returned. It hurt in a way I could not explain, or perhaps would not.

When I took her chin and forced her to look in my eyes, I could see the agony in them. "I saw them die." She had whispered.

"Who?" I asked gently. I could feel her turmoil stronger now.

"Everyone." She had pulled away, crossing her arms in front of her as she paced. "I watched as Leliana sacrificed herself for me to get home. I saw," she stopped there, holding back tears. She slowly looked at me. "You died."

In those two words there was more pain than I had felt from almost anything else. I had noticed her flirtatious comments now and then but never thought much of it. But this, this was stronger than a widow waiting for her love to come back from battle, secretly knowing he never would. How did I not see she was harboring such feelings for me.

I felt confusion radiating from her as well though. She didn't understand these feelings herself. She didn't understand why me dying would cause her so much pain.

I realized that she was still looking at me, that pain still in her eyes.

Once again, my body acted without my knowledge as it walked to her and embraced her.

She was rigid at first, taken by shock. She slowly relaxed into my arms though, letting her own wrap around me.

"It was an awful future." She whispered, letting a few tears slide down her face. "I watched as you and Blackwall willingly went to your death to try and give me time to escape. There was so much blood." She shivered.

"We will stop that future from happening, Da'Fen. We will not fail in our mission. But," she looked up at me, "I would gladly give my life for you to escape. You are our only chance of stopping that future and if I could pay my own life to keep you safe, I would do it. You are worth so much more than you realize."

Not long after that, Haven was attacked and everyone thought we had lost her. I was starting to loose hope as well, her presence was fading so much, but I would not give up. I could feel her magic, if not faintly. But it was getting closer.

It was, by all accounts, a miracle that she had survived. When we found her she was half frozen and barely alive. She was somehow still slowly moving through the snow even as we approached.

It only took her a few hours to heal this time and I was relieved when she finally awoke. I wanted to tell her the truth at that moment. I wanted her to understand but I couldn't. Instead I told her half truths.

I almost convinced myself that I wasn't lying to her.
