[Cole isn't really sure what to think about all of this, but he knows it isn't good. He doesn't like any of this. People are changing and it's not good changing. He could say that but he thinks that's probably obvious by now. People should know already.

He doesn't like when they change people. Those are the hardest to deal with.]

They're too loud. Not like before. Hurting and hurt and held together with rage.

[It's painful to listen to, and it's confusing everything else. That has to be the point, though, right?]

Gods with names like demons, games with the toys that try not to be played with. The tangles are tied too tight again.

I don't like being a toy.

[No one does, really.]

You should try to be hard to see. I can make you hard to see if you need it.

My... whatever it is. The demon, the impostor.

[ And then, it case it isn't clear enough: ] Something is walking around here pretending to be me. She tried to kill me this morning.

[He almost asks why but at least he realizes that's a stupid question before he gets that far. If the double is really that angry, he could tell the difference... right?]

Then we should kill it back.

I tried, but she escaped with a few small wounds. She knows how I fight because it's how she fights. She'll know you and Leliana, too.

[ The Inquisitor is also afraid her double will be able to pass herself off as the real thing. ]

Re: voice;

[fadeling]

I'll be careful. I can be too small for you to see too.

[closerift]

Good. [ He's careful, he's quick... she just hopes her double has other plans and doesn't go after her friends.

What are the odds of that, though? ]

Please do let me know if you see her.

Re: voice;

[fadeling]

Yes. [Unless he tries to kill it first.] You should be careful too.

[closerift]

I will be. [ She means it, for once. ] Take care.

[ And with that, she's gone. ]
