[ Wherever he happens to be, Dorian might spot a small house mouse scurrying towards him with a little roll of paper in it's mouth. If he lets it approach, it will leave the note and scurry off. Unrolled, the note reads, in tiny letters: ]

My sweet Dorian,

Thank you for the beautiful flowers (though they would be far more beautiful still growing in the earth). Dinner later?

Your Halsin

[ Late afternoon, next to a small potted lavender plant left either in Halsin's sunlit window (if his room is unlocked) or at his sink in the bathroom, ]

Halsin,

Please don't send any more mouse couriers, unless you'd like me to die of a heart attack before dinner.

I'll see you then.

Yours,
Dorian

[ This time, the note arrives secured to a velvet ribbon tied around the neck of a long haired grey and white cat. The cat trots straight to Dorian and leaps up onto the table in front of him, careless of any papers or books he might be browsing through. It sits down and looks at him expectantly, waiting for its message to be read. ]

Dorian,

The lavender is beautiful. I will always be reminded of you when I breathe its scent. I'm sorry that my mouse friend scared you, hopefully this will be easier on your nerves. He especially likes being scratched behind his ears.

Yours in anticipation,
Halsin

[ Dorian doesn't mind the smaller libraries he's found here, if he's honest; easier to tuck into a nook and read undisturbed. As accustomed as he is to the constant comings and goings back at Skyhold, a bustle of activity and people around him at all times, he does like his peace and quiet.

Still, after the mouse, he's not entirely surprised when a cat approaches him, this time. He unfurls the note, releases a soft huff of breath through his nose as he sits back in his chair and holds it to his chest a moment, absently scratching the cat behind his ears. I will always be reminded of you. Unbelievable.

Tempting to respond again, but they'll see each other soon enough, and Dorian does like to keep men wanting more.

As he scritches lightly under the cat's chin, ]

Don't you dare tell your friend about the pining look on my face as I read his note. I like to maintain a certain reputation.

[ Purring, the cat leans into Dorian's touch, chasing his fingers with his head. He doesn't appear to understand the words, but he stands up to move closer, tail high, seeking more petting as he climbs into Dorian's lap and puts his front paws on the mage's chest. ]
