He gets a safety net so that, just maybe, by the time the Inquisitor understands what Dorian is saying, Dorian can be sure that they’ve both fallen together.

The Inquisitor would learn eventually, of course, just as he would learn to understand the double meaning behind so much of what Dorian says (or leaves unsaid). It’s protection for himself as much as it’s an expression of affection. It’s a safe way for him to say he loves the Inquisitor without giving too much away. 42.8K Cheating Will Graham x Hannibal Lecter by Deanslefttibby. So all in all, the Inquisitor doesn’t seem to have great odds of understanding what Dorian is saying at first.ĭorian is probably betting on that. Youll also like Dragon Age Oneshots by putainsoif.

But even then, there’s no reason they would necessarily know a word like amatus. Mage Trevelyan has the best chance with both a Circle education and a probable need to study Tevinter tomes to learn certain magic or history. Non-mage Trevelyan might know some Tevene, given their noble upbringing and education. I don’t see any reason why Cadash, Lavellan, or Adaar would understand it off the top of their heads. The same cannot be said of amatus.Ĭonsidering how reviled Tevinter is, I’ll assume Tevene isn’t a widely understood language outside of academic circles in the rest of Thedas. Lavellan can be expected to know just what Solas is saying when he calls her “vhenan.” Bull explains what Kadan means. The other terms of endearment have a certain level of understanding attached to them. So, Dorian calling the Inquisitor “amatus” is something I’ve thought about a lot and it kind of kills me because he never explains it.
