Action: on the Huntress
When: Nowish

[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.

Action

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley lets Cullen and Elize be for a little while after all the initial shock is over, but after enough time passes without a sign of either she goes to investigate. The bunk rooms are a little cramped for one person, let alone two people and a sleeping child, so Shirley just kind of climbs halfway down the ladder to Elize's bunk and calls down from there.]

Cullen? When was the last time you ate?

[Or rested for that matter, but one step at a time here.]

[serves]

[He looks up, a little startled. How long has he been here?]

I'm... not exactly sure. But I'm fine, Shirley. Don't worry.

[hearsthesea]

[Shirley's quiet for a moment, and then she gives a resigned sigh.]

I'll go fetch you something to eat, but you have to rest sometime. I'll make sure you do, if I have to.

[Because if Cullen doesn't remember the last time he ate, then he almost certainly doesn't remember the last time he slept.]

[serves]

I'm sitting. She shouldn't be alone, when she wakes up.

[hearsthesea]

I mean proper rest. Find somebody else to wait in your place, if you need - I'd be willing to. It won't do Elize any good if she wakes up and you've exhausted yourself waiting here.

[serves]

If you don't mind. But I was a soldier, back home. Staying up is no issue.

[hearsthesea]

It may be possible, but it's never healthy.

[She doesn't even need the lab augment for that, although it certainly helps.]

I'll get you some food and then go to sleep, Cullen. I'll wait here as long as it's needed.
