Anders absent-mindedly stroking Mayhem's nails and noticing the cuticles are caked with something sapphire, the same shade as the inside of their lips.

So putting two and two together he tries to voice his observation until they shut him down with "No." "No what ?" "No, I'm not a mage."

And he decides to demonstrate 'he already knew this, his question was actually why' in the gayest way possible by sticking his thumb in their mouth and pulling back their lip, lipstick staining his knuckles as he rubs the delicate flesh there- cobalt and indigo like the sky at dusk. "Why is it you, a non-mage, are drinking lyrium potions ?"

#TheSameInTheEnd #may or may not write this #I have a bunch of drafts relating to Mayhem's lyrium addiction #like I think it's such a great detail I've added to my Hawke #keeping track of Templars for Bethany's safety and using the same knowledge to aquire lyrium #that mindset contributing to their smuggling job #the connection of lyrium consumption to Templars and Mages #and how it would explain Anders mistrust of them despite their staunch position of the freedom of all mages #I've connected the dots #also I'm a recovering addict and like covering addiction sue me
