Between gossiping of how the Tevinter Magister almost charred the Commander's quarters and a fierce tongue lashing from Sister Leliana after falling asleep during one of her meetings in the war room, I was worn out and eager for the day to end but it was not to be.

Sister Leliana glared at me as she handed me a report signed by Scout Harding for the Commander. Apparently, the survival of Joshua Trevelyan and the heroism Cullen displayed as he protected the Herald of Andraste inspired many simple folk to join the Inquisition.

Like me, they began to worship the ground Ser Cullen Rutherford walked on. Unfortunately, the man always glared at me and would always berate me for my mistakes. (It's not my fault that I really like him! I mean- not in a romantic way! I'd like to become like him someday!)

So there I was, grumbling to myself incessantly as I entered the throne room- only to bump into a beautiful, raven haired woman with grey eyes. She was clad in the most ornate of robes and smiled coyly as she placed the now crumpled report into my hands. (Oh Maker…so pretty)

"S-Sorry!" She giggled as she bowed slightly and rushed off towards the stables. A bald elf with appraising eyes followed her and I remembered that he was the elf who helped us to find Skyhold. I moved to greet him and perhaps to introduce myself but the elf rushed outside as quickly as he appeared.

Everyone in Skyhold was always busy with something and never had time to greet me or get to know me. I was just Scout Jim to them.

"Oh ? You need a message sent? Ask Scout Jim."

"What's that? Your sword's rusting? Give it to Scout Jim."

"Cullen's in a bad mood huh? Send Scout Jim."

"Sera wants to know if Cullen's seeing anyone? Send her to Scout Jim."

"The Inquisitor wants herbs for his alchemy? No worries. Scout Jim will deliver it."

(Ugh…)

I loved my work though. As much as everyone disregarded me, it was nice to know that I contributed to the efforts to stop the Elder One. Delivering updates and reports to the advisors was a thankless job and I…uh-

I scratched at my chest and flushed. (Ah shit.)

The report- Cullen must be waiting for it!

I raced through the rotunda and fumbled for the door leading to Cullen's tower. I let out a brief sigh of relief when I saw that Cullen was not at his desk but outside on the battlement that joined his tower to Joshua's. My heart pounded as I approached and led out the report, blushing and stammering as I saw him with tensed up shoulders and a sad look in his eyes. (Oh no! Don't be sad Cullen! I didn't mean be so late…)

"Commander! The report you wanted from Sister Leliana…" My voice gave way as he turned to face me with a fire in his eyes that made me want to jump off the battlements in fear.

"WHAT?" Cullen spat as his angry look intensified. I heard a small sniffle behind him and saw the Inquisitor dressed for battle, his back to me as he looked out into the distance.

"The report…y-you wanted." I forced out.

In that moment my eyes shifted back to Cullen, who admittedly looked like he was on the verge of assaulting me. I turned to leave with my tail between my legs and when suddenly I heard Inquisitor Trevelyan speak. His voice was cut short as I reached the door leading to the Inquisitor's tower.

I heard the wet noise of lips moving in unison and imagine my surprise as I turned to look- Cullen Rutherford; the resident eligible bachelor of Skyhold was kissing the Inquisitor. (Yes! This is so awesome- Sera! I must tell Sera!)

I raced through Joshua's quarters and into the tavern. That weird blonde boy was smiling as I darted by and fell face first into the elven rogue's room after tripping on the barrel she kept outside.

"What the shite…Ugh- It's you!" She scoffed as she pointed to the Arcanist in her arms as they chugged down a tankard of ale, leaving me to pick myself up. "What you's want Jimmy…? I- I'm with my Widdles. Go away you."

"Cullen's kissing Josh on the battlements!" I practically screamed. It took a moment for the pair to realize what I had said but soon the room erupted in giddy giggles and high-pitched shouts as Sera and Dagna climbed out of the window onto the roof and started dancing and cheering as they cheered the men on.

Cullen-Wullen and Josh-Posh

Sittin' in a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

First comes…uh

Sera giggled as she forgot the lines and Dagna kissed her lips. I flushed as the women pointed up towards the battlements and cheered even louder as Josh shouted out in anger.

"SERA I'm going to kill you! Fen'Harel ma halam!"

Sera jumped off the roof with her pants down as Josh followed her. I vthen saw a movement of red and brown. Cullen was coming towards the tavern. He didn't look happy as he stood in front of the doorway and blocked Dagna and I from leaving. I then realized that I still had the report in my hand.

"Report."

"What?" Cullen looked at me with a bamboozled look that I wish I could imitate. With a face like that, women would fall for me like it was out of fashion.

"I-I mean…here's the report you wanted, s-sir."

"Oh. Oh right. Thank you Jim." Cullen flushed and allowed me to leave but he gave Dagna an angry look as I quickly rushed back to the rookery with a racing heart.

(Whew!)
