Having Somebody Who You Grew To Trust After Putting So Much Effort Into The Relationship - Tumblr Posts

Going through a fanfic draft, and now I'm just wondering...how much would Solas' departure/whole dread wolf thing impact Ghilara and Cassandra's friendship. Because Ghil and Cass hate each other at first, they do not get along. I always get the cutscene of Cassandra drunkenly complaining about the inquisitor as soon as I get to Skyhold.

But as I've been replaying Ghil, the two have managed to work out their differences. And I think Solas would have been a big reason why that happened. Cause Cass and Solas are really close, and their banter is really sweet. So there would definately be an aspect of Ghil bickers with Solas' closest friend (Cass) and Solas bickers with Ghil's closest friend (Dorian). And they help each other find the middle ground.

Because Cass and Ghil are such similar characters. Both extremely stubborn, driven women, bad at elite manners, reckless and sure of themselves. And that can be the basis of great friendship or great enemyship. It's such a case of unstoppable force (Ghil) meets immovable object (Cass). Because they have extremely different ideologies. Ghil is pro-mage, believes in the chantry having less political sway. And Cass is well...not that.

Because while they do become good friends and learn to accept the other's difference of opinions, they have such different opinions about what to do with Solas. Cass even slightly approves of picking the "I'll kill him myself' option right before you meet Solas in trespasser. The only other who approves of that is Vivienne.

Idk, I just feel like that will be super interesting to explore. They start off hating each others guts, resenting the other, and through Solas' encouragement become friends, they trust each other, they have each others backs. Then back to the resentment, except now its so much harder to bear now that they know the comfort that their friendship can bring.
