*Enters his towers enchantment room in the top of the tower*
*He goes to the balcony and looks at the Minrathous glimmering in the dark of eve with millions of light like a sea of diamonds.*
*stands silently overlooking the city*
"master? you have been quiet ever since you came back home. Is it something I did, have I angered you?" ask the qunari woman standing in the doorway of the dark room wearing a beautiful evening gown which reveals her slender shoulders. Diamond necklace shines in her elegant neck.
*with a sight he shakes himself out of his thoughts* "No, not at all dear. What makes you think so?" he turns to the qunari woman. She glides through the room with a faint swish from the gown, and kneels before her master. She looks up to him with her silver eyes. "Master, you have been very quiet after your trip to the Deep Roads. I have seen how you smile and mingle with other masters but I also see how there are dark shadows in your face when you stand alone in darkness". She reaches out and touches his hand holding the staff. "I sense your sorrow master and I hope I am not the cause of it".
*He looks at her silver eyes and sees another, crystal blue eyes staring at him.* "No dear, it has nothing to do with you. Stay with me tonight. Tell the servants not to bother me any more tonight." He touches softly her chin and sees another face. "Anything my master desires" she says with a relief and hurries to inform the servants.
*he stands there looking after her, and then turns to the balcony and watches silently of the sleeping city.*
