[metaari]

( pretend this happened earlier than this. time to ask a boy on a date!!1 >_> )

[ Metaari gazes down at his sending crystal as he settles into his cot before letting out a breath and activating it, seeking out Merrick specifically. ]

Merrick-- are you there?

[dalishious]

[ Merrick has been outside training for most of the day. He's tired, but is still outside after night falls, sitting near a small fire and smoking. He sounds serene when he answers. ]

Hey. Yeah, I'm here.

[metaari]

[ He's glad to hear Merrick sound as good as he does and it relaxes him considerably. ]

How are you feeling?

[dalishious]

Since getting poisoned? Much better.

[ You can practically hear his smirk. ] I fought off poison made from the Crows. Anyone else would have dropped dead the moment they were pierced.

[metaari]

I did mean since getting poisoned, yes.

[ Cheeky little-- ]

Have you been catching up on the happenings of Skyhold?

[dalishious]

You mean how that elf woman was thrown in the dungeon? [ His voice is dark. ] Yeah. I have been.

[metaari]

Well-- yes, there is that.

[ Not quite what he'd been thinking about when he brought this up, and he's pretty sure he should hurry the conversation away from that topic before Merrick gets all heated. ]

But I was referring to the soiree being organized.

[dalishious]

Oh.

I-- I completely forgot about that.

[metaari]

Oh. Well.

[ It's probably a good thing Merrick can't see Metaari's face right now because he's so embarrassed for himself. ]

I was, ah, wondering if you had any plans to go.

[dalishious]

Me, go to some fancy ball thing? Of course not.

I'll bet gold that Cyril will try to drag me there, though.

[metaari]

Ah. Well, I had been wondering if maybe you would consider possibly... going with me.

[dalishious]

[ Oh. He-- genuinely hadn't expected that. ]

You-- Really? You actually want to go to something like this? [ With me? ]

[metaari]

I figured... it can't be so bad, so long as the company is good.

[dalishious]

I don't know how to ballroom dance.

[metaari]

I'm sure we could make something up. Won't they love that?

[dalishious]

[ That gets a little laugh out of him. ]

Just watch, the Orlesians will make it into some kind of dance trend.

[metaari]

We'll be trendsetters in no time.

[dalishious]

Okay.

[metaari]

Yeah?

[ There's a happy note to that word. ]

Then... it's a date, huh?

[dalishious]

My first one.

[metaari]

[ Well. Didn't expect that. ]

Really?

[dalishious]

Yeah. I haven't ever...had something like this.

[ He'd spent his life with the Dalish keeping everyone fed, clothed and safe. There hadn't exactly been time. ]

[metaari]

Then I suppose I had better make it a memorable one.

[dalishious]

Yeah, you'd better.
