Who: Cole
Broadcast: No
Action: EVERY SHIP EXCEPT THE MARSIVA
When: The first half of the month

[See, the problem is, now Cole's augment is a pilot one.

He's lost the room he wasn't aware as his, but he's gained a whole new lot of knowledge. Such as how to move the ship, how to dock it to other ships and that makes his constant wandering from ship to ship much easier.

And it means he can park the Pathstone with the Three Twins and Tourist without ever going on board either of them. He can bring the Pathstone to them, and still give Fenris his safe space and people form those ships and visit the Pathstone without having to take a shuttle!

So, Cole's doing his rounds again. Visiting. Parking. Shoving the Pathstone wherever he feels like going.]

[Cole looks up at Cullen, wanting to believe him. Not sure he does.]

Solas left. He didn't sleep first.

Right. So this... this means nothing.

[Even though it scares Cullen more than he'd ever admit. If Elize left, he's not sure what he would do.]

[Cole hugs his knees to his chest.]

It means something. To us. Just... not that. Maybe.

People go. In the end. You know that.

[He does.]

Not her.

[Denial is a river in... space.]

... why not her?

[It's asked with child innocence. He wants to understand why this will be different.]

Just... [He can't say anything with certainty. It's all hopeful wishing and praying on Cullen's part. Maker, he'd take her back to Thedas if he could.]

I have to believe she won't go.

[Cole thinks about that for a while.

Then he shuffles over, closer to Cullen and resting his head on his knee after an uncertain moment.]

You're probably right.

[Not too long ago he'd try to lop Cole's head off, but after a long moment, he reaches over to give the boy's messy, dirty hair a brief ruffle.]

[Cole makes a small, surprised noise, but he smiles slightly. He's not used to being touched. He did this because it felt like Cullen needed the contact.]

Thank you.

You don't need to. Ah, thank me, that is. [He sounds like Jove. Sorta. Just less authoritative in saying it.]

No. I don't have to. But I want to.

[He just... gives Cole's head another little pat. Almost like a dog.

He's trying.]

[Cole hums softly and closes his eyes, content to sit with Cullen for now.

Later, he'll make sure he gets food. For now, he thinks he needs a person more than a meal.]
