[ Cullen still cannot quite wrap his head around the sheer absurdity of the fact that Bull agreed to all of this for a dragon. But then again, he was more comfortable with everything about this place, and had a confidence that Cullen sadly lacked.
Which was the reason for this in the first place. ]
--No, that's fine. As I was saying-- [ Back to the matter at hand now. He takes a deep breath. ]
--I trust and respect you, both as a member of the Inquisition, and as a fr-- fellow warrior. As such, this is why I am asking you for your assistance in a-- personal matter.
[ He swallows again. ]
It has been... some time since I've been intimate with anyone.
[ Not just for a dragon. Also to check the place out, make sure it's on the up-and-up.
But yeah, also for the dragon. ]
I'm happy to assist.
[ Not just because it'll be nice for him, too, but because Cullen's right. They are friends, and Cullen needs to be comfortable for this. He needs to know it's fine, that he's allowed to touch and be touched and want. He needs to learn how to be comfortable with it.
And Bull... well, he's a damn good teacher, if he says so himself. ]
This might be better to talk about in person. I know it's uncomfortable for you to say this much, but you can trust me with this.
[ That might just be what you get for keeping a dragon as a pet, Bull. Still, one day, he'd like to see that. ]
I... wouldn't mind some ale.
[ He sounds perhaps a litle more at ease as he gives Bull his address, wondering if maybe all of the Inquisition ought to pool their money and buy a proper place. ]

--Thank you.
[ He swallows again. ]
Ah-- What time works best for you?
voice;
[ And he means it. ]
I'm free all day. I can come to you, if you want.
[ Less chance of being interrupted by dragon or Krem. ]
voice;
[ Not that he's really done all that much with his place.
Still, he tries desperately not to let his nerves get the better of him. ]
voice;
Send me your address. You eaten anything? Thirsty? I can pick something up.
All we have to do is talk, to start with. You'll be fine.

There are worse fates, I suppose.
voice;
I'll pick something up.
[ He's going to come in with a 24-pack and let Cullen keep the whole thing. ]
Exactly.
