Yes. I... It was a surprise that he and I went together and it was really nice.
[A pause. It was nice until everything with Merrick happened, but he doesn't want to dwell on that and ruin her good mood.]
So tell me more about Felix. I know he's a Warden, cute, and has a good voice. What does he like? Where is he from?

[ Well, she sees he wants to know more about her beau, so she'll hold off on questioning him about his... whatever Taas is. Probably not a beau. ]
He's from Tevinter, but isn't anything like the people there. He's not even-- well, no, he is a mage, but he doesn't really use magic at all. He prefers math. He's so smart at it too! It must just come naturally to him. He knows all the theories and complicated things that just go completely over my head. But he's good at explaining things. He's going to teach me to dance things other than the waltz, and I know he'll be a good teacher because he explains things so well.
[ Is she gushing again? She's gushing, isn't she? ]

[She is but it's cute. So cute, in fact, that he's not even that worried about the whole 'Tevinter mage' thing. He probably should be, but he trust her.]
Ah. That's why I know that name. He's Alexius's son isn't he? He helped Pavus and the Herald defeat his father.
[Again, he feels like he should be worried about that family connection, but he's just not.] So he was heroic even before he joined the Wardens? We really should get him a fancy steed and some shining armor. Maybe even get Varric to write something about it.

Well, yes. [ There's a pause as she considers just what to say. ] He loves his father very much, but it was the right thing to do, and he was trying to help his father before it was too late for him.
[ Ellana was worried about his Tevinter heritage and his father for all of five seconds before Felix started talking to her like she was a person, and he was earnest yet awkward as he stumbled over his words. ]
Oh, I'm not sure he'd go for that. [ She laughs. ] I'll just have to write some scenarios in my head while I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep.

I should have realized when I mentioned a bed that your mind would go there.
[ At least she sounds amused. ]
Do you remember what I said to you once, when we were joking about men? I'm not the type to just have that sort of fun without any feelings, but when there are feelings... it becomes complicated. At least, for me it does.
[ There's a pause, and then her voice grows soft. ]
Sometimes I think it might have been better if I had never discovered that Atlan had been lying to me. He just would have been the man who loved me and died. But that's not who he was and now... I have to wait, until I'm sure. But that's the reason why Felix is not in my bed now.
