This dialogue cut from the game stayed in my brain and I wanted to write a little something about Cullen talking in his sleep:

---

A voice cuts through the darkness, startling the Inquisitor awake.

Cullen: What?

*Inquisitor twists on her side to find Cullen with one arm draped over his face.*

Cullen: Who cares if there are more gardenias than tulips?

Cullen: He shouldn’t have antagonized the nuggalope in the first place.

*Smiling, she draws her fingers softly over his hair, trying to not wake him*

Cullen: Damn it, dwarf!

Inquisitor *whispering*: He must mean Varric.

Cullen: How many bees? Is that all? Put on a helmet and get in there!

*Inquisitor chuckles remembering far too well that Satinalia*

Cullen: Of course he’s a mage. He carries a staff everywhere. I’m not an idiot.

Cullen *growls*: Do not test me, mage.

*Inquisitor sits up holding her breath*

Cullen: No. Please. Not again.

Cullen *grows more agitated*: I can’t… You swore to come back. You promised me…

Inquisitor: Cullen… *She rises on her stump, trying to pry away the sweat-soaked curls from his forehead*

Cullen: Stay. Don’t go. Don’t leave. Return. Swear you will.

Inquisitor *brushing her lips over his forehead*: I won’t go. I never will again. I’m here with you. *She locks her remaining fingers in his* Always.

*Cullen quiets, his brow unfurrowing*

*Inquisitor curls up around him, her head nestled against his strong heart*

Cullen *whispers*: Good.

So sweet!
