The sight of drooling, stinking mabari is becoming familiar at Skyhold, much to Christine's chagrin. Perhaps it's her Orlesian blood, but she just doesn't care for the breed. One would think she doesn't care for dogs in general, and ordinarily that's true, but just the sight of a dog other than a mabari has her willing to give it some attention.

"Oh, look at your curls!" she says to the poodle. "I will I had curls like yours." And she will even tentatively extend her hand to let the dog sniff.
