[ Cullen isn't one for small talk and he doesn't take pleasure in hearing himself speak for the fun of it. His written missives are usually short and to the point; though this format is vastly different from what's available in Thedas, he allows habit to guide him.

There's the faintest of frowns on his face when he begins. This is his first time attempting to use the bizarre device and though he's been instructed on its use, he's not entirely convinced. ]

Are there any here who might be willing to check in on my hound for a short time?

[ It's so awkward talking to no one and having no idea who might hear him. ]

I've volunteered to serve on one of the teams being sent to the world below us and it would set my mind at ease to know he is not alone while I'm gone.

[ He's not 100% sure the terminology is correct—how this ship is sailing above a world is baffling—but he's trying. ]

[she completely understands having concerns for animal companions.]

I'm not sure if I'll be able to reach them from down here, but I can ask my friends to keep an eye out for your hound while we're planetside.

[.....her friends being the mice she has a telepathic link to but YOU KNOW. details.]

[stubble]

If you tell me their names and where I might find them, I could contact them on your behalf.

[ He thinks he's being helpful. He just has no clue. ]

[juniberries]

Oh, they don't have names. At least, I don't believe they've ever told me their names.

[stubble]

They've not told you their names? What manner of friends are these?

[juniberries]

Well, they're mice, so I just assume they've never really found a need to tell me their names.

[stubble]

I see. [ It's legitimate understanding, not sarcasm. Nugs don't tell people their names. And neither do mabari. ] Pup did not tell me his name either. That was left to me to decide.

[ And he picked Pup. Fereldans. ]

[juniberries]

If your Pup is anything like my mice, then I'm sure he'll be fine while you're down here on Oros.

[Allura knows next to nothing about Fereldans, so she thinks the name is cute.]

[stubble]

Perhaps they might keep each other company in our absence, then.
