[Open Scene: Varlen in a plush leather chair, puffing on a pipe, cravat tucked handsomely into a burgundy bathrobe] Oh. Mahalen. Come - sit - and let me offer you some advice. One of the most important parts of romance is the Declaration of Love. Here is what you must do. Find a lawyer, draw up a document detailing every intention you have for your partner, and be sure to get it stamped and signed by the correct authority. Your lover will adore it. There is nothing more sensual than bureaucracy.
“This is exactly what Iron Bull tells me, except without the paperwork and pretty much everything else you just mentioned….
Why’re you in my room?”
Varlen: Hush, hush, dear Mahalen. There is more to love than The Iron Bull’s rope and chain philosophy. See, he does not appreciate the finer things in life. Like well-aged cheese. Or contracts.
And I am in your room, Inquisitor, because that is where this luscious bathrobe and chair are located.
Obviously.

✨ Tricksters ✨
Flowers & blood series to go well with their bloody histories.
Hal, my inquisitor, gets clematis, which is a trickster flower. (And berries, yum). He’s a blood mage and a Puck figure.
The Dread Wolf gets snapdragon, the liar flower. And…everyone knows how much blood is on his hands. hehehe

“if i’m going to show my vallaslin-covered face in orlais and make them believe in me, then i must dress so beautifully that they will hate me. they will hate that they are jealous of me, that i look just as orlesian as they do. and then they will love me, and be left terribly confused.”

Featuring Mahalen Lavellan and Solas during a little down-time at Skyhold...
“Mahalen?”
The young elf stiffened, spinning on his heel, quickly tucking the object he had been fiddling with behind his back. “Solas,” he said, voice high with surprise. “I ah… didn’t see you there!”
Arching an eyebrow, Solas just regarded the Inquisitor for a moment. It was a look that said of course you didn’t. “You have grown fond of this rotunda,” he mused, pale eyes flicking about, trailing along the painted walls. “Few linger here, as it were. No doubt they find my apostasy... disquieting.”
Mahalen snorted at that, his dark red hair catching the torchlight, reflecting colour as though it carried a flame of its own. “Maybe they just don’t like the smell of wet paint.”
“Another possibility,” Solas conceded with a low chuckle, reaching his hands behind his back, clasping them loosely as he wandered further into the room. “Although I find the fumes dissipate rather quickly, given the nature of the space.”
A smile curved his lips as Mahalen tilted his head back, gazing up through the rings of floors that ended in rafters high, high above. So curious. It was good for one in a position such as his to still find wonder in the world. Enjoyment. For example, at the moment, Mahalen was wearing a cloak, its mantle lined with russet fur that was just a shade lighter than his hair. It was not particularly cold – certainly not inside – but Mahalen simply enjoyed wearing such things. That was well enough, Solas supposed. They suited him well.
“What is in your hands, Inquisitor?”
Mahalen froze, eyes slowly slipping back down to rest on Solas, a tinge of pink creeping across his cheeks. “Oh, I…”
“It is all right. Show me.”

inquisitor mahalen, or “hal”, but preferably “his worship, the herald of andraste, whose bejeweled hands the humans may kiss”. there’s a part of him that always wondered what it would be like to be worshipped, if only just as revenge against everyone who ever hurt him. and well, he got it.
click for detail, since tumblr is crappily blurry

Darren: "Um, hey, Hal... did you want to go somewhere today? I mean, if you're not busy. There's this lake nearby and it's a nice day, and you looked like you could use a break. NOT that you look tired or anything! Oh Maker..." (In short, Darren's flirting would consist of a lot of nervous attempts to spend time with him!)
Hal: Come to save me from the jaws of paperwork? That’s very knightly of you. I would actually… love to go out with you. I mean. Go somewhere, out. Outside with you. Not out out. Unless… that’s not what you had in mind, is it? Creators. Right so, heh, wait for me? [probably trips on the way to his room]
(Hal attempting to flirt with Darren) "Wow that's a lot of stuff you're carrying. Who ordered all those elfroot potions? Was it Hanin? Sometimes those ducklings ask too much of you, in my opinion, they needn't put you to work like that. Oh, the inquisitor ordered the potions? I. That's me. Oh. Okay I did that. Sorry. Well it looks heavy and you must be very strong. I like strong m- Oh my, don't fall! Oh dear. This is awful. Please let me help." (and then he falls too)
Darren: I-I ah, well, yes, yes it is! Heavy, I mean. But I don’t mind! It’s something to do, y’know, keeping myself busy. Oh, they’re for you? Well that’s okay - even better! Where did you want them? [Grunts a little, hoisting the crate up higher, teetering] S-Strong? Me? Oh, uh, thank you, I… uh oh… a-ah–! [Stumbles. Falls. Potions everywhere. Both of them on the ground. Disaster.]
Darren: I’m so sorry Inquisitor! T^T
