(or, Tav will not take shit from anyone (even if they have pretty flaming eyes) and Rolan will not tolerate nonsense (even if he's drawn to it))---

Summary
It's finally over: the Absolute has been defeated and Baldur's Gate has been saved. A month after the final battle, everyone's gone to pursue their own destinies - everyone but Tav. She might be home now but she's never felt more lost, struggling to pick up the pieces of the life she left behind.
Rolan got everything he wanted: his family is safe and sound, and he is the new Master of Ramazith's Tower. He won, and all he has to do now is prove that he's up to the task. It should be easy, so easy - but then why does he feel like he's constantly failing?
One night they meet again, and a proposition rekindles the spark between them.
But when Tav's world crumbles around her and secrets are revealed, it's Rolan's hand she reaches for. Will he be there to catch her?(or, Tav meddles and Rolan stands his ground)
