"Look I know this seems really bad but I only use red lyrium for most of my magic abilities. My mind is free of corruption as I have magic shields up in my mind keeping it that way. The red lyrium doesn't destroy my mind trust me if it did I wouldn't use it." The Inquisitor glared at me before saying "well that's a surprise no wonder you drink so much just to hide it." I rolled my eyes before turning to Cullen saying "The night you tried to expose me you did drink red lyrium tainted whisky but it wasn't found out one because you don't drink enough and your lyrium input hides the taste." Cullen turned to face me before slamming his fist on the table saying "How could you lie to the inquisition we can't even trust you now!" I sighed saying "I'm sorry but it was just safer to keep this to myself and I know you probably want me gone so I shall leave tomorrow before anyone is awake." I then pushed past the Inquisitor leaving the room going to pack my things, "we can't just let her go! She knows to much and is hiding something else I can feel it." Cullen nodded his head in agreement before saying "I'll go try to talk her out of it but if she stays no one will know about this and we need to be careful around her." The Inquisitor nodded and dismissed Cullen who quickly walked over to my room knocking on the door. No anwser came so he tried again but still nothing. He turned around to find Mother Giselle saying "if your looking for miss (L/n) she left a few minutes ago I don't think she left skyhold tho you might want to ask around." He rushed off thanking her before going to the tavern finding bull who was drinking with his people. "Ironbull! Where is (Y/n)?" He looked at Cullen before shrugging and turning back to his team of people. Cullen then left going to find solas who gave him the same anwser he climbed the stairs then and ran into Liliana saying "where is (Y/n)?" She responded saying "I'm not sure she stopped by a moment ago you just missed her." Cullen groaned before leaving the tower and going to see blackwall who was standing around thinking to himself. "Have you seen (Y/n)?" He looked at Cullen a bit surprised before nodding his head "yeah you just missed her she stopped by to pick up some animal carvings headed towards the cellar." Cullen took off running and tossed open the door flying down the stairs but only to be disappointed finding an empty room with a bottle gone. He yelled in frustration and walked but up the stairs thinking about where I had gone, a wile had passed of him going on a goose chase around the castle before he went to Cassandra. "Cassandra have you seen (Y/n) I have looked everywhere for her and people keep telling me I missed her." She laughed before saying "well sorry to bare bad news but I haven't seen her lately why don't you ask Morrigan she seems to know quite a bit." Cullen sighed before running back up the stairs and into the garden where Morrigan was standing watching the trees. "Cullen I have been expecting you." He stood in front of her saying "you know something where is she?" Morrigan's laughter lit up the area as she said calmly "yes I did she went to find Solas a few moments ago." Cullen yelled loudly freaking out everyone near him before he apologized and left to Solas. When he got there he saw Solas looking at a rune stone before turning and getting rather annoyed saying "you missed her go to Ironbull." Cullen stormed out of the room getting sick of the goose chase as he barged into the bar seeing bull who just said "Not here went to her room." Cullen stood in front of a post and smacked his head in frustration before leaving and walking tiredly up to my room. He knocked on the door before I walked out saying "Oh hey Cullen I was just about to leave, that was quite a chase it was very amusing to me." Cullens face flushed with red as he grumbled "I have been all over this damn castle and you tell me now that you set this up!" I smiled before saying "Hmm yup!" Cullen looked as if he would kill me before I said "look Cullen I'm leaving to go back home where I am somewhat safe ok so don't worry about it anymore tell the Inquisitor I'm gone." I started to walk past him before I felt his hand on mine saying "No wait! Please don't go we just need to know everything from now on and we can allow you to do as you please, just set up regular checkups from solas about your red lyrium intake please." I looked at him before saying softly "can we talk maybe alone." Cullen nodded as I tossed out a griffin carving turning it into a real animal before climbing on and pulling Cullen on. It took off flying quickly up into the sky before it was calm and the wind passed out faces. I turned to face him saying "My life is full of lies and mystery's Cullen if I was going to explain all of them I would surly be tortured made tranquil then killed. I have no interest in doing that so I'll give you three question you want answered and I'll tell you truthfully. You can start whoever you wish Cullen make it quick." He sighed before thinking about what to say letting a few minutes pass until starting his questions.
