Who: Cole to everyone
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Pathstone
When: Now


[Cole is actually looking at the camera, which is a minor miracle for those familiar with his habit of leaving his communicator next to him and pointing at the ceiling.]

How do mortals know what you're feeling? Varric used to tell me what it was, or Jove, or Solas, but they're gone and now I don't know what these feelings are. I can tell how to help other people and how to navigate their hurts but I can't do it with my own.

[He gives a small sigh and looks off somewhere. A fluff slug climbs over the communicator screen.]

Comments

That's... not a bad idea, really. [Let the others think of the greater good. Let her think of the individuals. Tricky as a queen, but hey, that doesn't matter here, in this place.] Thank you, Cole.

...may I ask something of you?

[killedwithlove]

Yes, of course.

[bryces_pup]

If I ever get sent home and return with more memories, and if I... if the time that has passed has changed me, turned me into someone who no longer cares about the individual... will you help me try and remember?

[killedwithlove]

Yes.

I'll help you remember individuals. But I don't think you'll lose that.

[bryces_pup]

I hope you're right, but thank you. That makes me feel a little better.

[killedwithlove]

Good. I'm glad you feel better.
