And it's the stars, the stars that lie to you.

[This week, Varric opted to take a page from Vanille’s book. Gathering everyone together after the roller-coaster that the first trial had been proved to be somewhat cathartic for himself. He hoped that it would prove to do the same for the others.]

[He wasn’t alone, of course, having found himself blessed with the most ragtag team of chefs and party-planners. He might have had words for and thoughts on Elda and Kimbley, Mikazuki was welcome company, and he wasn’t about to turn away potential allies, even in a fight as simple as cooking dinner.]

[Once everyone’s set to a task, baking a cake, brewing tea, or stirring stew (the only task Varric could think to assign Elda to), Varric excused himself to his room. His first task was writing up cards, each personally titled and signed by Varric.]

Food in the Library. 5 p.m. Don’t spend the night alone.

[Each note was slid under a door and accompanied by a single rap on the wood.]

[With his tasks completed, Varric returned to the kitchen to put out any potential fires and, with luck, set the food out. A table in the library would be adorned with plenty of tea, cake, pancakes courtesy of Viktor, and stew thanks mostly to Varric (sorry, Elda).]

...That's strange. Gold never told me I was flirting with him.

[Silver you absolute dumb fuck]

[foundfate]

Then either he's clueless to it too, or he likes it and thought you would stop if you knew what it was.

[Watanuki's bets are heavily on the former.]

[feistytrader]

...I guess I'll have to ask him about it.

[That's going to be a fun conversation.]

Either way, I don't have time for relationships. We're not dating.

[foundfate]

Right, got it. Not dating.

[How did they even get off on that tangent in the first place?]

That's probably for the best while all of us are stuck here anyway.

[feistytrader]

...Yeah, dating seems like a really bad idea in here.

[does this count as lampshading-]

[foundfate]

[Maybe a little.

But lbr here there's already like five couples forming. Trustfell R4: kinkshame and dating.]

But still talk to him about it. So there's no misunderstandings between the two of you.

[feistytrader]

[Okay, he can do that, no... Problem...

Problem. Big problem.]

What if I hurt his feelings?

[foundfate]

That's always a risk. But you don't seem like the type to be scared of risks.
