[ A neatly written message is put on Cyril's pillow. He is apparently not safe from the passive aggression, either. ]
Please stop messing with that post, it was addressing a serious problem that was upsetting me, and I feel like you're not respecting me when I try to address my concerns and you see it as an opportunity to faff about and vandalize it with inane commentary.

[ While their days with the Inquisition are getting hectic, Merrick and Cyril will always find time to spend with one another. Right now it's in the garden, under the shade of a small tree, splitting lunch. Merrick eats as he always does, tearing into food with his sharp incisors while he listens to Cyril talk about his day.
When it's Merrick's turn, he swallows the bread he'd been gnawing on quickly so he can share what he's been burning to tell Cyril since it began. ]
Zevran is training me to be an assassin.

[ Ellana hopes to find Cyril in person so she doesn't have to use the sending crystal. After Pel's attempt, she worries she'll address everyone too, instead of just the intended recipient. And luck is on her side today! When she finds him, she wraps her arm around his. ]
Please tell me you aren't busy right now?

[Pel doesn't send warning. Pel doesn't ask. She just bursts in wherever Cyril is staying and starts talking.]
Uniforms. They're making us wear uniforms. Every day. Because we're not civilized enough.

[OoC: A little time after the abomination attack.]
Cyril?
[His voice is quiet as he tries not to wake anyone in camp, teeth clinking slightly from the cold, though it doesn't cover up the worry in his voice. He's waiting a bit of time before he thought it safe to call, pausing after saying the name to see if this would be a message the Elf would pick up later, or if he would pick up now.]

Sending Crystal (to be replied to whenever makes sense)

We have Zevran and we're on our way back.
How is Merrick?

Cyril I-
I need... I would like company if you are able to offer it. [ Not Alistair. Alistair needs him to be fine or close to fine and keeps picking- so. Not him.
Cy never asks, never judges. ]
Please.

Cyril my dear, I spoke to the Seeker. For however brief that was.
[ Out of absolutely nowhere: ]
Cyril, how do you get someone to want to have sex with you?

[ Ellana is hoping to get to the important people in her life and tell them about her and Felix before they hear about it from the impressive rumor network Skyhold has. But unlike Sina and Beleth, Ellana is sure Cyril will be pleased, so she doesn't search him out in person. It can be more casual. ]
Oh, Cyril. I have some news.
Oh, Cyril. I have some news.
[ The road is long, or relatively long, back to skyhold. Zevran himself does not mind the walk with the company available- though seeing how well his less than subtle nudging went for Fate and Nerva does give him reason to sidle up next to Cyril as they approach the next campsite. ]
Care to share a tent? I have been sleeping alone this trip but find it suits me poorly.

[ This isn't fun. Owning up to mistakes never is, especially ones she's made in the course of her duty. She should have known better.
But she also owes it to him, and she knows it. ]
This is Cassandra Pentaghast. Are you busy?

Dear Cyril,
Thank you so much for joining in the giant snow battle. Your team was amazing.
As well as having a tab all organised at the tavern for when everyone is back from Orlais so you can all catch up and relax, please find enclosed an extra prize. It should keep you safe from any nasty chills, and give your attacks a little extra oomph. Everyone in your team is getting one, so you can always remember that you’re all a lot cooler than the rest of us. Sorry it took so long to get it to you, I needed to visit this place in Orlais to get it organised.
Stay awesome.
Best regards,
Ruby
( Enclosed there is a silver ring, with a yellow band running through it that looks like it could be crystal and catches the light.
The ring is cool to the touch, and provides a little boost to ice attacks, or adds an ice element to any weapon wielded while the ring is worn. The ring will also add some protection against cold attacks. It isn’t a super duper powerful ring, but it will give a bit of an edge in a fight, or just make any future snowballs hella hardcore. Damn, son. )

He had taken Cyril up on that offer to learn about traps, coming by often when he was free to learn the parts and assembly. Cyril was a great teacher, but equally a big distraction all in the same. Today though it wasn't a smile or a sweep of a foot that had him distracted.
"Hey... Cyril" Still looking at the tool he chews on the inside of his lip, clearly debating if he wanted to ask what was on his mind. After a moment though he sighs. "What is... sleeping with Taas like?" He isn't looking up when he asks, embarrassed as he is for even asking, but it has been on his mind for a while.

Later, after the rift has been closed, after the wounds have been closed, and potion-drinking turned to drinking of another sort, the clan lies under a rarefied air of celebration.
And Sorrel? He's having a drink. He's having more than one, and may in fact be having one too many.
"So! So," So here he is, sloshing up against Cyril's shoulder, loose-limbed and smiling, at ease for once, "I was thinking. I, had a thought, Cyril. And I'm going to tell you about it."
If he doesn't fall over first, anyways.

Though he doesn't know much about Cyril's comings and goings, Cade knows where he saw him once. And that's where Cyril will find him: by the stall where Cyril sold his puzzle boxes, fiddling with the one he'd been given in an effort to keep from losing his nerve and running away.
He's leaning against it for support, his leg doing much better but still a bit limpy on account of having gone without full healing for so long. Cade looks terribly nervous, and at the moment of glimpsing Cyril he very nearly bolts. But he holds himself steady, even tries to stand up a little straighter, because he has to fix something for once instead of making it worse.

There's a soft knock at the door. On the other side, Pel looks pale and tired. Wordlessly, mainly because she cried herself out at Alistair's and is calmer now, she hands him a letter.
Da'len,
We are deeply grieved. No, you may not join our clan, and we will not visit. Even if our Keeper agreed to it, we would not see you. We will not take in a First who abandoned her duty to her clan, nor accept a flat-eared bastard as our grandchild. This should come as no surprise to you.
We thought you were better than this.
