Around Town, Along The Paths Near Which The Sea Meets The Island, Also The Preserve, Friday Evening

[doesnotkneel]

It was an awfully nice evening, truth be told. And on evenings like this, Edward liked to indulge his more whimsical side - taking a stroll along the coast and watching the water crash against the island, even if at times that meant climbing up rocks or over fences.

The traditional ending for such a journey was the preserve, and it was there that Edward made the fatal error: he lingered. After all, the trees saved him from any threat of rainfall, and the water was awfully nice, even when it was only lit from the castle and the far-away moon.

He lingered, and watched, and eventually this would not end terribly well. For now, though, it was perfect.

"I reckon if no one's trying to run us out, we're allowed to be here," Edward said, sitting down on the grass himself. "And who would deprive two young people such as ourselves this sort of view?"

"Someone very cruel," Anders said -- and,though it took uncharacteristic restraint, managed not to add anything about Templars. "The ocean here's spectacular."

"Aye, it's one of the great joys of this place," Edward said, propping up his knee and looking towards the horizon. "We lived much closer to the sea when I was young. Gets me all homesick, this does."

"What was that like?" Anders asked idly. "Where I grew up's nothing to look at, mostly. Rocks and farms. Some trees."

"It was beautiful," Edward said. He threw Anders a casual glance. "You should see Wales if ever you get the chance, mate. Forests and hills and miles of coastline, water crashing against the rocks. You could sit down and watch the ships pass by as they entered the harbor..."

Edward liked ships.

"Someday, maybe," Anders said wistfully. "Only time I've left Ferelden before here was to see my father's people in the Anderfels. Which is nice, if you like rocks and bare earth. Land got destroyed during a blight and they never rebuilt."
