Alistair and a non-human noble Warden are a couple until he becomes King. Since this Warden can’t become Queen (or Co-King if you wanna go that route) and neither is looking for the mistress option, they break up. And they’re both upset about it, but after the day is saved and a year has passed, they go back to being the best of friends. Exchanging letters.
Years pass. They grow. The Warden is the king’s closest friend and advisor. Rumors abound. And while they aren’t true, both the Warden and Alistair have fallen in love with each other again, 8 years later, older and wiser. And neither acts on it because they’re both too scared.
10 years pass. Both are lovesick. Alistair tells himself he’ll tell the Warden he loves them when they get back from their quest to cure the Calling. He doesn’t care about having a mistress now; he’s lived in a marriage of connivance long enough to understand it.
Alistair gets a letter. The Warden is coming to visit. Just as soon as they solve a question about the missing Wardens in Orlais.
so I didn’t really think about it until I saw that gif but when Garnet poofs Peridot, she was like .2 seconds away from blasting Pearl in the face. Which Garnet notices, looks distressed, and quickly acts to prevent
like had she not grabbed her as quickly as she did and changed the trajectory, the blast would’ve hit Pearl right in the face and considering that’s where her gem is, it may well have killed her.
and I’m kind of wondering if there was a future she saw where she didn’t redirect the blast in time and Pearl died. Since a lot of Garnet’s quick actions are explained as her having seen it thus knowing what she needs to do to prevent it.
I’m not even entirely sure if Garnet intentionally poofed Peridot or if it just happened in her haste to prevent this
