Alex looked down incredulously at the list on her hand, scanning it with disbelief, before heading off the library in search of her brothers. She soon found them with Dorian, researching magic again, with Maxwell sitting beside the Tevinter mage with a massive volume between them, while Daylen was scanning the shelves for a particular volume.

"Daylen, do you have a moment?" She asked her older brother, who looked at her.

"Yes, sister?" Daylen said as he approached her, and Maxwell and Dorian turned around from their book to look at them. "Did you get my letter?"

"Yes, and I have question about that." Alex said as she lifted up the said letter and waved it in front of him, "Is there a particular reason why you added two dozen candles and a volume of the Carmenum Di Amatus on your requisition's list? You're not thinking of dating Corypheus, are you?"

Daylen's face flared red, and from behind him, Dorian burst out in laughter as Maxwell shook his head. She looked at them inquiringly, and Dorian continued to laugh as he said, "Well, well, well… is Daylen finally growing up? I must say, I am rather intrigued as to where this is heading now."

Maxwell shook his head again and stood up beside his twin, "Daylen's… approach on Cassandra was denied most unfortunately, sister." He said as he put his arm around Daylen, "He hopes to win the Seeker's attention with poetry and… romance."

Alex blinked as she looked up at her brothers, "Are… are you quite serious?"

Max grinned as Daylen continued to blush red, "Quite serious, I'm afraid. Dale has been enamored with the Seeker since he laid eyes on her in the Winter Palace… as I was enamored with Dorian when I saw him there, too."

Dorian flipped a hand at him in a grand gesture, "As most people are, I'm sure, although I'm hardly as intimidating or menacing looking as the Seeker. When he went after her, I was sure she would run him over with a sword through the heart."

Daylen let out a chuckle, "For a moment, though, I did too." But he shook his head, "I am… quite serious with Cassandra, Alex. I do not know if you approve of her… after all I am a mage and she's a Seeker…"

Alex held up a hand, and Daylen silenced, "Daylen… Cassandra is… was… in love with a mage once. His name was Regalyen." Her twin brothers blinked in surprise, "He… died at the Conclave, when Corypheus caused it to explode. She must… still be hurting, or is afraid to fall again."

The twins silenced for a bit, and Alex came forward and raised up her hand, pressing her palm against Daylen's cheek, and his olive-green eyes looked at her, "I… honestly don't know if she'll reciprocate your feelings, Dale. But I do not disapprove of your… infatuation for her. In fact, I am glad for it. She deserves to be happy and to be at peace. If you can help her… if you can heal her hurts, then I would gladly buy this and any of your requisitions just to make her happy." She reached up with her other hand to Maxwell's cheek, and he blinked in surprise. "I may be younger than you, but you know that I love you both. I want both of you to be happy."

Daylen exhaled loudly, before coming forward and hugging her to his chest, and she wrapped one arm around his middle, the other hugging Maxwell, who seemed to have joined in, hugging her and his twin together. "Thank you, sister." Daylen whispered and he kissed her forehead, "I am happy to be here."

"So am I." Maxwell said, and he kissed her too, "And thank you… for accepting Dorian."

Dorian blinked and he stood up, "Wait, what? What is this 'accepting' you're talking about?"

The three Trevelyans looked at the Tevinter mage, "What? Don't you love my brother, Dorian?" Alex asked.

At this, the Tevinter mage's face flared red, "I like him. I appreciate his company. That's it. Fasta vass, woman, it's only been a month!"

Maxwell shrugged, "A lot could happen in a month, amatus."

Dorian's flared even redder and he sputtered, "I don't… you can't… don't call me that."

Alex looked up at Max, "What does that mean? Is that Tevene?"

Daylen nodded, "Yes. It means 'beloved'." He said, smirking as he released Maxwell, who had let go of them to stand beside Dorian, who flushed red as Maxwell stood beside him and put an arm around the small of his back.

"Don't be so coy, amatus. Look, my sister accepts you already." Maxwell said, pointing at Alex's grinning face, "Didn't you tell me that you were afraid that she'd reject you as my beloved?"

Dorian rolled his eyes, "Is there any discreet bone that body of yours, you huge lummox?" He asked him sarcastically.

Maxwell let out a huge laugh as he kissed Dorian on the temple, "When I'm this happy? No, I'm afraid not."

Alex chuckled, "Dorian, really? Is that what you think of me?"

"No, I…" Dorian sighed, "I was… afraid you wouldn't approve… of your brother dating another man… me, specifically."

Alex's eyes softened and shook her head, "Dorian, you are the best and greatest of my friends, and I love you. Of course, I would want to have the best for my brother, too." She hugged him tightly, and for a moment, he stiffened, but soon, he sank into her embrace. "I am very, truly happy for the both of you."

Dorian let out a nervous chuckle, but soon enough he coughed as they separated, "Well, I… thank you, Alex. You are… the best friend I've ever had too. Thank you again." He laughed a little too loudly, "But now, enough of this mushiness, yes? I believe we have some work to do, don't we Maxwell?"

"Yes, amatus." Maxwell said, and Dorian rolled his eyes before sitting down again, "We're currently looking for Corypheus' real name. If he really is one of the original magisters that entered the Black City, perhaps he could still have relations in Tevinter where he could be getting support from. If we could find out his real name…"

"You could discredit him, and his family would disown him out of fear from the Inquisition." Alex said as Maxwell sat down beside Dorian again, and she ruffled his hair, "Good job. I have to head to Vivienne to talk to her about her requisition for a 'snowy-wyvern heart', but I'll come back to you."

"Actually, Cullen wanted me to tell you that he wanted to speak with you." Daylen said, and he took one of the papers in her hands, "I could take Cassandra, Cole and Solas to the Exalted Plains with me to get the heart, if you want to."

Alex smiled, and she kissed Daylen's cheek, "If it'll get you to spend more time with her, then I would consent to it. And I'll be sure to buy your requisitions myself." Daylen smiled brightly at her, "Be careful out there, brother."

"You too, sister." Daylen said, kissing her forehead, and Maxwell and Dorian waved at her as she made her way down the library and into Solas' study, where she saw that the elf was painting away at the walls.

"Solas, Daylen needs you upstairs, you'll be heading to the Exalted Plains with him, Cassandra and Cole, with my permission." Alex said as she opened the door leading to the ramparts that led to Cullen's study, and she heard the elf say 'Of course, Inquisitor' as she closed the door.

Cullen looked up at her with wide eyes as she opened the door, "There you are!"

One of Alex's eyebrow rose as she looked at him, "Were you waiting for me?"

"Yes… I mean, no!" Cullen said, his handsome face turning a little red in embarrassment.

She smiled a little, thinking about how adorable he was whenever he felt bashful and embarrassed, "I can come back later if you'd prefer."

He shook his head and held up his hands, "No… please, stay."

His words made her shiver a bit in wanting, but she shifted so that he wouldn't notice it as he continued, "We have some dealings in Ferelden, and I was hoping you would accompany me. When you can spare the time, of course."

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

Cullen looked up in surprise at her, "What? No! I… I… I'd rather explain there, if you wish to go."

She shrugged as she went nearer to his table, "I believe there's time now."

Cullen nodded, "I will make the necessary arrangements."
