[This is the voice of a worried man that's trying to not sound as worried as he feels. The crease in his brow is almost audible.]

I understand that sometimes people fall into deep sleep here for no reason known to us. [Maker, he's praying that it's like what happened to Varric and not something to do with their new fleet addition.]

It seems to have happened to Elize. She's in good hands, but... I felt I should let people know, in case this isn't just happening to her alone.

It's not an illness. It happens to people, sometimes, here. It's more like a deep sleep than anything else. Nothing will wake her but time.

[He bites his bottom lip.]

I... I... understand.

[He's furious. How could Atroma do such a thing? He's never heard of this happening before but he can't say he's surprised; the man obviously knows what he's talking about. So he balls his fists, and he looks down for a moment.]

-- You had better guard her with your life!

[serves]

[He's mildly insulted by that comment.]

I don't need to be told that.

[arcanepower]

[He should be. Belth is trying very hard to trust humans but it's harder with people he doesn't know.]

I am saying it anyway! If anything happens to her, I will--

[He recalls his conversation with Adra. Maybe saying he'll set people on fire is a bad move.]

I will overcook all of your food.

[What... a threat...]

Who are you, precisely?

[arcanepower]

Belthazar Spellscry, apprentice arcanist and cook for the Bishop. Elize is-- she is important. So you had better keep your word, human.

[She's a friend but it's hard to spit that out because he's dumb.]

[serves]

[MAGES. Cullen bites back a remark.]

She's my first and foremost priority.

[arcanepower]

[Belthazar seems to be staring him down. It's not very intimidating. It's like a kitten trying to pretend to be a lion.]

... Fine.
