It's the branches that catch his attention first, having not remembered those being there when they had left for Emprise du Lion. At seeing the Dalish sitting in front of them, he's less worried, though no less curious. This was that Keeper magic that he had seen Pel use once, right?

He recognizes her, too, from that one Mage meeting, though it takes a few moments for him to remember her name. "You're Sina, right?"
