Yeah. Carver...she's grown up a lot over the years. For the longest time, he was comparing himself to me, using me as an excuse to be angry because I have magic and he doesn't. And maybe it's not just that, mom was the only one in the family other than him who had no magic. So dad spent a lot of time with me and Bethany, his twin sister, and I think Carver felt left out.

[which in retrospect is so very clear and she wants desperately to make up for it. but unless he comes here, there's no way of knowing to do so]

He isn't. I miss him so much. He's...complicated. He's the youngest of three brothers and he didn't really fit in because his parents already had the heir to the throne and the spare. So Sebastian...acted out. Partied constantly, fucked anyone who seemed vaguely interested, drank too much...basically everything he could to take his mind off the fact that his parents didn't love him.

Eventually, his parents got sick of him acting out and sent him to become a Chantry brother in Kirkwall. He had guards all the time to make sure he didn't succeed at running away. Even to the point where if he tried too hard, he'd be killed by his guards slash babysitters.

He did manage to run away once...but his parents had broken him down so much that he didn't feel like he had a choice but to stay at the Chantry. He learned to love it there, but it's kind of like a captive learning to love its captor.
