Chapter Text
Lux, emotionless even to other templars, has spent her entire life knowing nothing but what she was ordered to obey, saying little but what was required of her. Anders, A Bit Much even to other mages, can't help but prod her, to see if she has a voice.
And when life comes crashing on them both, it's better to hang together than fall apart.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are worried about the power dynamic inherent in an templar/mage relationship, don't worry, they're incredibly stressed about it too and are making an effort to discard that dynamic.)
