they're crazy, they're crazy

[colecomfort]

WHO: Cole and Varric
WHAT: So, about our mutual acquaintance...
WHEN: Early Wintermarch
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: n/a

Now that they've spoken, Cole isn't very concerned about the man who carries Justice with him. At least, his concern isn't immediate: the man is here to observe, to do what he can to help, and that's all the Inquisition can ask of anyone. No reason to worry just because he carries a spirit around with him.

And yet. When the man himself believes he could be a danger, that is a reason to watch him closely. Cole wishes to better understand the pain of his past. He can sense the threads that bind him to some others here, and when one of those threads leads back to Varric, Cole knows where to start.

Varric is worried, too. He's always worrying about something, in a secret way that sharpens his perception of the things around him, but this worry in particular is strong at the moment.

He finds Varric at a moment when he's alone, sitting by the fireplace on the edge of Skyhold's great hall. He appears, perched on the table nearby.

"Keeping his secret's the same as before. Conceal the mage and keep the templars' eyes away. But Skyhold's so much smaller."
