#more ruthlessly efficient. and likewise this way he is not an open gaping wound in the side of archon to be dorian pavus ready to exploit

& I think by veilguard kasi and dorian aren't really together any more....if kas had been able to resolve the solas situation, if he hadn't lost his arm, if he'd been able to kill that bald motherfucker, if things in the south hadn't gone so wrong he'd essentially had to give up the hunt - maybe they could've made it. but all that did happen and he's spent the last ten years retreating into this dehumanising position of authority, carefully crushing every emotion out in order to do his work, and it was bad when the inquisition was active but by the time veilguard rolls around I think the only thing keeping him tethered is the vague memory of what he and dorian had. and by this point they haven't seen each other in years and they're both very aware that they're holding onto an Idea of one another and there's some pedestals there that are gonna get in the way if they ever meet again. and then in veilguard they do and they get to spend time together and say goodbye properly before kas dies:)
