Cole led the way, starting the walk up through Skyhold and towards the War room. He didn't know who would be best to speak to; his natural inclination was Leliana because she and Rhys already knew each other, or to Cassandra, because Cassandra reminded him of Evangeline in a way he couldn't quite explain.

But as they walked, a bit more of the usual Cole showed himself. Whispering to himself, odd thoughts he caught as they walked by, once teleporting himself across a hallway because there were people in the way and it was just what he did, smoke curling in his wake.
