Yes, but... living as well? You died, but you're brought back? Given life to fight so you can die again?

[conqueredhearts]

In my world I would be in a contract with a mage and they would provide me mana. In exchange I am summoned to fight for them so that we might obtain our truest wish. When I die I will fade away from the world and be brought back to the summoning pool. All memories of when I was summoned will be erased and I will wait there until I am summoned by someone new.

[el_tybs]

That... sounds a little bit like a spirit healer...

[The words are said quietly, more to himself so that he didn't interrupt Iskandar's explanation. Least the contract bit with a mage was a bit similar.]

Wait. You'll forget-

[Sam goes quiet again. Now there was a new reason to be upset about this.]

So you'll forget being here.

[conqueredhearts]

I will have all time since my summoning erased from my mind. I will only recall who I am and my life before I was a Servant.

[el_tybs]

[So that was a 'yes' then.]

That doesn't upset you?

[conqueredhearts]

It saddens my heart greatly. I carry this every day of this new life I have been given.

[el_tybs]

I'm sorry, Iskandar.

[conqueredhearts]

Mm. Just celebrate our memories. Remember me. Remember the man that is Iskandar and share who I am with others. Then there is no tragedy to be found but a monument for all who I have been with and all I have seen.

[el_tybs]

You'll certainly be a hard man to forget.

[He gives a soft huff in a failed attempt to give a laugh.]

[conqueredhearts]

[He laughs softly.]

Well I should hope so!

[el_tybs]

[There's a bit more silence before Sam gives a sigh.]

Perhaps we can go on a small trip together sometime? I can show you around.

[conqueredhearts]

I would love to. Simply tell me when is best for you and we shall go together.

[el_tybs]

Well I assume we'll be in touch often so we can talk about the details and figure a good day.

[And not like 5 years in the future.]

[conqueredhearts]

I should hope we are in touch often. We bed each other plenty.

[el_tybs]

[There's a sound on the other side, a mix of snort and choke. Good thing this was a private conversation now.]

Yes, in that case we're touching very often.

[conqueredhearts]

You know, you are always much bolder in conversation in private. I shall have to remember this for when we are together again to see what else I can get you to say before arousal starts.

[Hey. It's totally not a random observation okay.]

[el_tybs]

...

[He sighs. Was it really that strange?

Still... it does have Sam wondering, and even with the silence it was obvious that he was seriously thinking about that. Momentarily ignoring that last part - Maker, what exactly did you plan on getting him to say, Iskandar?]

Probably because in private I'm not telling strangers what I do or will do with sex. Not everyone needs to know that.

[conqueredhearts]

They don't?

[No really. He's being serious.]

[el_tybs]

[He's quiet again trying to think if in fact Iskandar is being serious.]

No, Iskandar. Why would I want to tell everyone in Skyhold what I do in that particular subject?

[conqueredhearts]

Because you are proud of your lovers? Because you are proud of what you have? Because you are happy?

[el_tybs]

I can be proud and happy without telling unrelated parties every detail of my private life.

[conqueredhearts]

Hmmm. I think I am just very used to having my entire life on display for all the world to see it. Even before I became I spirit.

[el_tybs]

Yeah... I don't need that kind of attention. Not to mention it would probably make my job as a healer just a bit awkward.

[conqueredhearts]

I'm not certain how it would but very well. If that is your desire then I suppose that is all that truly matters in this situation.

[el_tybs]

[Well it would either make people curious which he didn't want, or would bother others. He really just needed his tent to be neutral ground.]

Thank you.
