"Yes, the Tevinter Magister is just what you need at your side when you're worried about the Seekers coming for you," he says with a bitter laugh. He can't be good for Cullen, he can't. He's only good for himself, honestly. "I apologize for the 'you're under his thrall' comments you'll get when they get here. Do you think a full body inspection will settle their fears or will they just assume I'm sacrificing kittens?"

He leans towards him, taking the comfort even though he really shouldn't. This won't last. He's going to leave Cullen behind eventually. He can't stay forever. It's foolish to let himself get involved like this but the problem with being true to his heart is this.

"I wouldn't use kitten, though, not enough blood."
