[ heyo. anders has changed back into his clothes from home, and now resembles a giant, bedraggled crow.
he will just be sort of ... wandering aimlessly outside, because he keeps stopping outside of the buildings and then clearly chickening out of going inside. it all feels deeply uncomfortable. he will especially stop in front of the church to look it over, frowning. cool cool cool no doubt. ]

[ ANDERS WHY IS THIS FIT SO SLAY?
matching obligatory fit check instead of sexy angel costume! though at least now i can mention that yves was probably covered in bandages beneath his angel costume earlier so it wasn't even that scandalous. if nothing else, it just shows that the lace half mask he was wearing wasn't just part of the costume - it's an outfit staple. yay!
yves has probably been going around in the background like an npc, finishing his self-assigned sidequests, though at some point he'll just... stop next to anders? new sidequest? ]
... shall we venture inside?

[ all that bias tape. it must have driven someone to absolute madness. he won't comment on the mask but he does clearly take a long look at it - but he's met Orlesian nobility before, where masks are almost obligatory, so it's not that unusual in the long run. ]
Into the Chantry? Feels a bit ... I don't know.

[ when yves catches anders looking at the mask, he just offers a simple smile. through the lace, there might be some hints of... red? black? but if there's no questions then there's no offered answers.
but even yves find this answer a little hard to decode without context ]
... hard to say? Monsieur Lucas probably went inside, but I didn't go into our church on the island very much either.

I was not very welcome at the Chantry in Kirkwall. Nor did I want to be.
[ well. ]
You know someone here?
[ well. ]

Ah. Then let's go somewhere else. It's not worth stepping inside if it'll only bring up bad memories.
[ easy fix! as for the question, yves offers up a sheepish smile ]
Two someones. For better or worse. Monsieur Lucas and Adolphe are both friends of mine.

Somewhere else then.
[ he'll actually be pretty happy to walk away from the Church, but was doing a weird sad guy thing of torturing himself with it. yay. ]
Two ... ? You all died together?

[ anders you are made of so many mysteries in a crow suit and yves is fascinated
but he won't ask questions - and instead shakes his head ]
No, it's... more confusing than that. But... I outlived them both, for a while.
I don't know why we all arrived here at the same time but... it's strange, to be happy for a reunion while also being confused about everything else.

Oh. It happened to you too then.
[ that actually clears some things up. ]
Hawke claims I died four years ago. I suppose he would know.

I hadn't considered to think otherwise? He seems to have the same memory of events as me so far.
[ OMINOUS thought. ]
Do yours not?
[ OMINOUS thought. ]
Do yours not?
[ looks thoughtful ]
... it depends. [ a small wince ] Sorry, I don't mean to be cryptic, but there's just some of it that isn't mine to tell.
But even if I outlived them both, one of them died in a way that's different from what I know.
We know the same people but... things didn't happen the same way.

Hm.
[ he has NO IDEA what to think of that, but it is a worrying thought, actually. the idea of the Multiverse is not a popular story trope in Thedas, so that's all ... so very new and strange. ]
I don't know what to make of that. It's-- You can't change the course of history. That's not a thing magic can or should do.

All a bit beyond your reach now, isn't it?
[ consider the dead thing. ]

... I don't know.
He used to be. I would not blame him if he has changed his mind, however. His friendship isn't something I deserve. He really wasn't supposed to die.

[ he is incredibly tense. ]
No. I just don't know what I want the answer to be. It would be better if he was truly done with me.

Your ... friends, you said? You're friends?
You trust them?
You trust them?
[ GOD MAKER.
well he gets it, he has the worst friends imaginable and they all kind of hate each other too so that's normal.
anders is uncouth so there's a second where theres like. a half-bark of a shocked laugh. so yeah. you get this lore drop early for that banger: ]
Hawke was my executioner, so believe me, I understand.

[ ANDERSSSSS
yves isn't affronted by the shocked laugh, though he does look concerned when the explanation comes. he squeezes anders' shoulder gently, given how tense he is but he hopes it's a little reassuring. ]
It's tough, right? To say the least. Unsure if you should even call the other person a friend, but it doesn't erase the fondness you have in your heart for them. For everything you've been through.

[ DONT ANDERS HIM AFTER THAT WHOLE. A FRIEND AND I KILLED EACH OTHER COMMENT. WE'RE GOING BACK TO THAT. what the fuck!!!
but this statement sums it up so succinctly that it seems as if yves gets it. so he's not sorry he said it. ]
Yes.
Were they right to do it? This friend of yours.
