Yes. She did. With that in mind, Cole turns his head to look across the courtyard, at all the people working, walking and talking.

"The Inquisition is still an idea. People still want it to mean something. The Seeker started it, but She held it together."

When he turns back to Adelaide, he's smiling, his hand still in hers. "We're still growing. Vines stretching, roots reaching, seeking the sun. It's a good thing we have teachers."

"Commander Cullen and the others are doing what they can to hold it in her absence. I would like to think that some o the rest of us help." Organizing. Minding. Mending.

A death is a wound like any other without any of the usual ease in healing. Time, coping, rebuilding- moving forward can do much. Dwelling offers little comfort though she does wonder, for a moment, what it might have been like to know the Herald. If there would have been any advice she might offer.

"And all the better to have others with which we grow."

His smile brightens a little further, his hand giving hers a squeeze — and then he's gone, just as a cool breeze sweeps through the garden.

Adelaide will still feel the pressure against her hand. A gentle reminder, in case the memory of him starts to slip away.
