6, 8, and 10 for the Inquisitor asks!

6. Where does your Inquisitor like to hang out at Haven?

Well, Leanos is a Dalish mage whose parents were murdered by Templars when he was only 3, so basically he hangs out as far away from Cullen, Cassandra, and the Templars as he can reasonably get. After he finds that little cabin while hunting down those notes for Adan, he spends a lot of time there, at least until he gets a good scolding from Josie because nobody can find him for hours one time. After that, he tends to put himself somewhere near Solas or Dorian (especially Dorian). 8. Which advisor does your Inquisitor like best? Which do they trust the most?

Probably Josie. She's the most respectful of him from the beginning and even though she only knows one phrase in Elvhen, he does appreciate that she used it when she had the chance. Leanos would prefer for there to be non-violent, diplomatic resolutions to their problems that don't directly involve demons and Fade rifts. He and Josie don't always understand each other, but they're both willing to learn and make the effort to understand, so they get along well. 10. What does your Inquisitor do with their free time? Do they have any hobbies?

I don't think he HAS much free time tbh. With the clan, he's constantly with Deshann, either learning about Keeper things or actively performing Keeper duties. Deshanna was never supposed to be the Lavellans' Keeper. She got pressed into service as First after Leanos's parents (who had been First and Second to the previous Keeper, Leanos's grandfather) and, since Hanin Lavellan was older and starting to become more frail by that point, she largely had a crash course in being Keeper in the space of about 5 years. (I've been reworking her part in Leanos's backstory a little and now I think she might even have been sent by another clan after Leanos's parents died.) Hanin started training his grandson and granddaughter, Leanos's twin sister Eliana, as soon as they showed signs of magic. Deshanna took over when Hanin died. On the plus side, Leanos (and Eliana for that matter) didn't have the rushed training she had. On the down side, this is also largely because she was determined they could both be fully independent, functional Keepers by the time they came of age if needed. Since Leanos was the one who showed the most interest in and aptitude for the Keeper's work even as a small child, he rarely had much free time because Deshanna was constantly dragging him after her while she did her work so he could learn.

When he's with the Inquisition but before he becomes Inquisitor, Leanos tries to fill his time with small but useful tasks. He isn't entirely convinced the humans won't toss him out, put him back in the dungeon, or even outright kill him if he isn't useful to them at all times. On the rare occasions he takes downtime, he's exhausted and needs a nap and to be out of sight of the humans. After he becomes Inquisitor, his fear of what the humans will do largely vanishes, and even though he's quite busy with Inquisitor duties, he finds he has some large periods of truly free time for the first time in ages. He tends to spend that time in the library with Dorian, reading as much as he can. (more Inquisitor asks here!)
