The Journals of Cullen Rutherford 384

Ten days
have passed on the return to Skyhold. Ten days without a word from Valerie. How
am I to apologize for my assumptions? I feel compelled to explain, but cannot force her attention. What I know
to be true is nothing more than a cruel reminder of my pettiness. Every step on this uneven ground separates us. I fear if I cannot reach Val, the distance will be
greater than the abyss.

Warden
Alistair returned to Weisshaupt some days prior and in that simple act an idea
took root. Perhaps what I am missing, what I need to understand how traverse
this path may be through his experiences. I penned the letter knowing how it
would paint my actions, but he witnessed the events, heard our raised voices and
cautioned to employ patience. I did not listen and this is where I stand. I am not able to dismiss the things I have seen, reject all that I feel and simply diminish. 

I can do
what I must for the Inquisition, but I need insight to aid my self-reflection,
find a way for Cullen to make amends, and heal this growing divide between us.
