    Summary

    Commander Cullen Rutherford is infatuated with the lovely Inquisitor Ember. Her past is strange and mysterious, but her personality is optimistic and engaging, though he's seen no signs she returns his feelings. She's an open book he doesn't know how to read.

    That's probably for the best, because he doesn't have time for relationships between running the Inquisition's armies, resisting the pull of lyrium addiction, navigating residual conflicts between mages and Templars, and trying to get a good night's sleep.

    A wise man delegates. Cullen doesn't know what he would do without his captains and lieutenants.

    That's the problem.

    A Cullen PoV episode from the Canticle of Dreams

    NOTE: This story is separate only for Point Of View shift. It is NOT meant to stand alone. Though I'm told it works pretty well as a stand alone, actually, so if you'd rather start here and backtrack, well, who am I to stop you? ;]

    You probably want to read through The Canticle of Dreams Ch 34 first, though, to get the full context.
