[ He was aware of at least some of her history, yes. And there is certainly a daunting presence about her that he cannot deny, especially in knowing that she will be joining everyone in Skyhold. Old habits die hard. But Cullen keeps such remarks to himself, as always, knowing full well the consequences of them. Especially given Neria's background as a Mage. ]

[ Knowing that there are things she cannot even share with him doesn't set his mind at ease either. But he has known there are secrets she has kept from him since day one, secrets that may come to surface later on. But again, he doesn't pry. Cullen simply listens, understanding that if there was something important to have forged between them only for her to disappear? Shock does not even begin to explain what she may have felt. ]

[ Cullen frowns. ]

The spark of chaos among Thedas has forced quite a lot of things to change. Not just throughout the world, but to those who inhabit it. If she has appeared again, it is for a reason.

Does it trouble you that she will be joining us?
