Christmas Delivery

[nehraachargers]

[Cyril will get a package from Bull which is pretty heavy. The reason is because of a weighted blanket inside. There's also a scarf resting on top of it.]

Hey Boss

Figured you could use these to keep warm. Blanket is big enough to curl up with someone if you're ever wanting to. That weight will be nice from what I'm told. Let me know how it is.

The Iron Bull

[samahl]

[The gift is touching and a reminder that there are things Cyril has to tell Bull.

Sometime during the same day as the delivery, Bull gets a picture of Cyril sitting on his couch with the scarf wrapped around his neck and the lower part of his face.]

Thank you for the gift.

Now I feel a little guilty I hadn't thought to get you anything. How is it you've been on this world much shorter than I have but still are more used to the customs?

[nehraachargers]

It's just the training I had to go through. Nothing all that special. You fit in because you have to and it keeps people from looking your way.

Alright and I kinda like this custom. It's nice.

Looking good by the way.

1/3

[samahl]

Thank you.

2/3

[samahl]

I think I'm not very good at gifts.

A few years ago, I made one for you.

3/3

[samahl]

I never got the chance to give it to you.

[nehraachargers]

Yeah? Too bad. Probably would have liked it.

[samahl]

I'm sorry I got too scared to give it to you.

If we make it home, maybe I will then. I still have it.

[nehraachargers]

[Too scared? Wait.]

You do?

[samahl]

Yes. In the house that Varric gave me in Kirkwall.

[nehraachargers]

What is it?

[His gut tells him that he knows. But maybe that's just wishful thinking. Maybe he just wants to not get his hopes up and have the guy run away again. He won't ever admit it but it hurt so bad just it happening one time.]

[samahl]

[It takes a second for him to reply. He types and deletes it a couple of times.]

A dragon tooth. Split in two.

[nehraachargers]

[His gut was right. Shit, that maybe hits harder because he doesn't know if Cyril would give it to him now. He talks about it but...

Would he?]

Yeah. I know I would like that gift.

[It's all he can think to say.]

[samahl]

You would?

[nehraachargers]

Yeah. I would.

[samahl]

Why? I let you down once. What's going to stop me from doing it again?

[nehraachargers]

I'll still have your back whether you run from me or not. I'm yours in whatever what you'll have me.

[samahl]

You realize even now I'm writing this to you instead of speaking because the idea of saying any of it makes my throat feel like it's closed up.

[nehraachargers]

Yeah. I know.

[samahl]

[After another bout of typing and deleting, Cyril calls him.]

[nehraachargers]

[He's actually surprised to see the call. Genuinely surprised. He swallows and answers.]

[samahl]

Hi Bull.

[nehraachargers]

Hey boss.

[samahl]

[He takes a breath.] I'm sorry to spring this all on you.

[nehraachargers]

It's alright. Sometimes that's what happens.
