Cullen Rutherford/Dialogue

Cullen Rutherford's dialogue includes his conversations with his messenger.
* Messenger: A list from Lady Cassandra, Commander.
* Cullen: (annoyed sigh) What is it this time? 
* Messenger: I... don't know. She sealed in an envelope and glared. I didn't dare open it.
* Messenger: Lady Cassandra would like to speak with you, Commander. 
* Cullen: Does this have anything to do with her watching the drills this morning? 
* Messenger: It might?
* Cullen: (sighs) I thought Varric was exaggerating. 
* Messenger: Lady Cassandra asked me to check on you, Commander. 
* Cullen: Tell her I'm fine. Also, tell her, when I told her to stop checking on me, I didn't mean 'send others'.
* Messenger: You... really want me to say that?
* Cullen: (chuckles) Don't bother. She wouldn't listen. 
* Messenger: Commander Cullen said 'no', my lady. 
* Cassandra: Perhaps you should tell him to try harder.
* Messenger: Err... or you could tell him?
* Messenger: Commander Cullen says you're welcome to take part in the drills. ... my lady.
* Cassandra: Was he being sarcastic? 
* Messenger: I... couldn't say, my lady. 
* Cassandra: (concerned) How did he seem? Was he unsteady? 
* Messenger: Not that I saw, my lady? He was a bit short-tempered.
* Cassandra: That's because I'm annoying him. Carry on.
* Vivienne: It's a reasonable request. 
* Messenger: He was adamant, Lady Vivienne.
* Vivienne: Of course he was. Posturing is expected. Return to the Commander. I'm certain he will be more receptive this time. 
* Messenger: They served together some time ago. 
* Leliana: Carroll?
* Messenger: He hadn't seen him in years. But something reminded him.
* Leliana: I understand. Tell the Commander I'll try. 
* Messenger: Sister Leliana has no news of him. 
* Cullen: He may have been transferred to another Circle. I know it isn't much to go on. 
* Messenger: I will let Sister Leliana know. 
* Cullen: Wait. I may have a few more names.
* Messenger: I believe this is yours, Commander. It's addressed to you. 
* Cullen: Who's it from? 
* Messenger: I don't... It was in my hand. 
* Messenger: For who, Ser? 
* Cullen: Cole. He... oh, nevermind. I don't know why I'm bothering. Take it to the stairs near the tavern and... wave it around or something. Someone'll figure it out. 
* Messenger: Yes, Ser. 
* Messenger: Cole? 
* Cole: Yes? 
* Messenger: The Commander says to stop sending messages that don't make sense. 
* Cole: How... do I know they don't make sense if I don't send them? 
* Cullen: Tell Vivienne, even if this were a Circle, I would not be required to answer to her. 
* Messenger: I... umm... 
* Cullen: Oh, nevermind. I'll handle it. 
* Cullen: Bull used every shield in the armory for this? 
* Messenger: He said it was a training exercise. Should I tell him not to do it again? 
* Cullen: (amused) No... have him tell me next time. I want to see if that would work.
* Cullen: (to himself) I don't know why I'm bothering.
* Messenger: (decisively) Perhaps you should explain this to him. 
* Cole: It made him sad. He listened to the memory, and not the words. 
* Cullen: I know Sera was in here. And when I found out what she's done, I'll... do something back.
* Messenger: Of course, Ser.
* Sera: Tell Cullen... (laughs)
* Messenger: I'm... not sure I can do the message justice. Miss.
* Cullen: It's a... peace offering? 
* Messenger: Yes.
* Cullen: Sera used the words 'peace offering'.
* Messenger: Yes, Ser.
* Cullen: Someone's helping her.
* Cullen: Josephine wants to know what day I was born. 
* Messenger: That's what she said, Ser. 
* Cullen: It's already past. I don't see why that...
* Messenger: She said it was important, Ser. 
* Josephine: He spent his life in the Circle. Oh! Perhaps a tailored coat from Val Royeaux? Hm. He can't wear armour all the time. 
* Messenger: He will appreciate the gesture, Lady Ambassador.
* Josephine: That's a polite way of saying he wouldn't like it, isn't it.
* Cullen: Tell Josephine they're fine, and I like them. (softly) She can stop asking.
* Messenger: She will be pleased. 
* Josephine: He likes them. Truly? 
* Messenger: Very much, Lady Ambassador. 
* Josephine: It's just... butter and sugar! Ferelden taste is so... simple. 
Note: This conversation refers to cookies.
* Sera: You have a box. Send that. 
* Messenger: But... it's empty. 
* Sera: (sarcastic) Really. Are you sure? 
* Messenger: Err... yes? Yes, it is? 
* Sera: Oh, piss. Send it anyway. 
* Messenger: Anything today? 
* Sera: You're still here? 
* Messenger: Fine. Please, Miss. 
* Sera: Just wait, I'm thinking. 
* Messenger: That boy...
* Cullen: What does he want now? 'They didn't hang you there, you can walk away.' 
* Messenger: That's all it says, Ser. There's several more, but... similar in tone. Shall I leave them for you? 
* Messenger: All it says is 'Uldred marked you, but didn't make you. You stayed you.' 
* Cullen: (annoyed sound) I know who it's from. Thank you. 
* Messenger: It says: 'The centre never changed, kept safe like a coin in your pocket.'
* Cullen: Cole. Actually, I will speak to him. 
* Cullen: Mh. 'course it does. 
* Messenger: She insisted it's not impossible, Ser.
* Cullen: Right. And I'm the King of Ferelden. 
* Leliana: He didn't take one of my birds? Those were his words?
* Messenger: He said he... borrowed it? And then it wasn't the same thing. The one with the white feather on its breast. 
* Cullen: Really. She's giving it to me. 
* Messenger: She said if it's yours, you won't have to 'borrow' it. 
* Cullen: (surprised) I... I see! Thank you!
