Letâs do something together.
PC: I could use some fresh air, could you?
Cullen: Rooms in the Ferelden Circle were shared. Beval requested a transfer because apparently I talk in my sleep.
PC: You do.
Cullen: They didn't speak often, but Carver was always loyal.
Cullen: The recruits knew better than to insult his brother.
Cullen: No one dared speak ill of his sister.
Cullen: âŠit would look bad if I laughed in the middle of an inspection. I bruised a rib hiding it.
Cullen: âŠbut he just kept talking. We all just looked at each other. The mages were as confused as I was.
Cullen: I don't know what he'd done, but the bird was tangled in the jesses. I had to cut her loose.
Cullen: (Laughs.) Did you really? There must be more to it. What happened after that?
Cullen: Honestly, I couldn't keep my eyes off you. But we'd only just met.
Cullen: Does this one have a name? A fine bird like this deserves a name.
Cullen: I've attended a few Harrowings. Even when everything goes well, they are nerve-wracking.
Cullen: âŠand then traveled by ship to Kirkwall. I'd lived in the middle of a lake. I thought I was prepared for sea travelâŠ
Cullen: I didn't tell Leliana we were borrowing her bird. Chances are she knows anyway.
Cullen: âŠthen says, "She's from Kirkwall," as if I would know her. Kirkwall's a big city. I didn't go around introducing myself to everyone.
Cullen: If Varric writes a story about all of this, do you think I'll be in it?
Cullen: âŠit doesn't matter if you have magical resistance or not. Getting singed by a fireball hurts.
(I cannot find the plot trigger for this dialogue, but it is in Cullenâs main dialogue tree.)
Investigate: Have You Met Hawke Before?
PC: Did you ever cross paths with Hawke in Kirkwall?
Choice dependent dialogue:
1 - Hawke sided templars
Cullen: When the city fell to chaos, Hawke fought alongside the templars. Kirkwall would be in ruins if not for [them].
Cullen (met Hawke, pre-Adamant): Iâm grateful for any help [they] can offer.
Cullen (Hawke left in the fade): To lose Hawke as we did⊠I canât imagine Varricâs taking it well. I wish there was something I could say.
Scene ends.
2 - Hawke sided mages
Cullen: A few times. Hawke stood with the mages when the fighting broke out.
PC: You were on opposing sides.
Cullen: At first. In the end, Hawkeâs stand against Knight-Commander Meredith saved us all.
Cullen (met Hawke, pre-Adamant): Iâm grateful for any help [they] can offer.
Cullen (Hawke left in the fade): (Sighs.) [They] seemed invincible then.
Scene ends.
Beginning of the romance:
Soldier: Commander! You wanted a copy of Sister Lelianaâs report.
Soldier: Sister Lelianaâs report. You wanted it delivered âwithout delay.â
Cullen: Yes. I said that.
Cullen: I meant to my office.
Soldier: Or⊠to your office⊠rightâŠ
PC: Iâd rather we were friends.
PC: I should have said something before. I hope itâs not too late.
Cullen: No. You had my friendship before weâyou have it still.
