It's a fairly standard early evening, and Cade is helping out with Skyhold's repairs by hauling materials from one end of the keep to the other. Despite the chilly, dreary weather, he's only wearing an undershirt along with his usual boots and trousers, and it has absolutely soaked through by the rain and his sweat. He also has two black eyes, and a little scar on his cheek.
In other words, he looks awful.

But that doesn't stop him from hauling a crate of small stones up the stairs, a task which is already clearly taxing him, but he's dedicated. And all is well and good until he notices the statue by the stairs, has a split second to wonder at why it would have been moved there, and then it turns its head. Cade is so surprised that he misses a step, slips, and falls backward the two or three steps he'd already ascended, to land on his behind in the mud with rocks scattered everywhere.
This is off to a promising start.
