As he listened to her story... it was no less than what he could have imagined her doing. Lioriley had always been a great mage, and one who put others above herself always. Even if she was now an apostate, his views had changed drastically since Kirkwall. And of all the mages he'd ever met... Lioriley would be the mage he had no doubts of.

Cullen laughed awkwardly, cheeks burning as he crossed his arms. More papers seemed to fly off his desk with the swiftness of his movement, and he kicked the desk in an attempt to lean down to gather them. "Maker..." He sighed, straightening himself to look at her. "I thought you dead too. I... thought of you often." Her smile aimed at him brought back so many feelings he'd buried deep in his heart. "I should have never doubted your strength, but... when the abominations took the tower, they showed me many terrifying things. It seemed hope was too much to have."
