[Cole is holding one of the plants when the video comes on, and he looks a little confused. Having pulled one of them down, though, it doesn't make any more sense. It feels like it should be important, but he's not really sure why. When he finally speaks, he doesn't take his eyes off the plant in his hands.]

I don't know where they came from. [That's not surprising, really. He doesn't know a lot of things. They aren't hurting anyone as far as he can tell, though, so at least there's that?] Whose are they? Are they staying?

[A pause.]

I think I would like it if they did.



((Cole is not affected by the kissing, but feel free to try to kiss him! He may not allow it, though))

You know that I'm all for recklessness, but you know what kind of place this is.

[Come down here and wine mom him, Cecily.]

Yes. These are nice, though. I'll be careful.

I hope you will.

Do they make you - feel strangely?

[ Do they have any effects on spirits? ]

Re: video;

[fadeling]

No. Should they? [Is that what's happening to people?]

It may just be - something else.

[ Yep. Definitely something else bringing a compulsion to kiss people. ]

[fadeling]

Maybe. I don't know. It's clouded and cluttered.

[ So... he may feel it. Less strongly than the rest of them, but present still.

The gods' influence is strong, but she's known that for some time. ]

If you move away from it, that feeling will go away.

I don't mind. It doesn't hurt yet. [Yet. Like he's waiting for it to start.]

You shouldn't wait for the burn to realize that the oven is hot.

[ Says your Inquisitor mother. ]

Re: video;

[Shut up you're not my real mom.]

What oven?

It's an expression, Cole.

Re: video;

[fadeling]

Oh. Sorry.

[closerift]

Why would you be sorry for that?

Re: video;

[fadeling]

For not knowing.

[closerift]

Andraste's tits, Cole, if I had to apologize for everything I didn't know, I would have talked your ears off a long time ago.

Re: video;

[fadeling]

I wouldn't mind.

We'll talk about it later, then. All right?

Re: video;

[fadeling]

[Sorry he's not good at things like that. Although he is smart enough at least to realize that means "we will never talk about this again.]

Alright. Sorry.
