hey lambert, let's talk about your problems
It was a few days after the kissing booth disaster and Cole is still lost in thought, beating himself up over how terribly it went. He's lurking on the top floor of the tavern, in a corner he often lurked at, while he was lost in thought. Lambert said that people don't like to hear the truth. But how can he help through the hurt and work through the worry if Lambert didn't hear the truth to begin with?
Frankly, it was all very confusing. But one thing was certain: he needed to actually find Lambert, come up with a plan, figure out what to do in order to try and help the hurt, and then do it. And he wouldn't be able to find Lambert if he lurked up here (despite the fact that Cole liked it up there, it was quiet, it was safe, he could idly touch the minds of everybody below but they weren't overpowering).
Of course, he didn't expect to run into Lambert just so soon. The top floor of the tavern was great for sleeping off being drunk, hiding to escape someone you had a grudge with who had just entered the tavern, or (the most unlikely option of all) talking to Cole, as that was one of his normal haunts. Lambert enters just as Cole is about to leave and there's an awkward moment where the two make eye contact and just kind of stare at each other, before Cole steps out of the way.
Well, there's no use trying to vanish and run away now. Not while he's here. And congrats Lambert! You have 100% caught Cole off guard. He was supposed to have time to make a plan, to think things over, to decide what to do, what was he going to do now? Just wing it?
There's a pause before Cole confusedly asks, "Hello there?"
The greeting's heavy on his tongue, as if Cole is testing a new word out for the first time. That's what people do to start off a conversation and perhaps it would be best for this if he was more people than spirit.

no subject
Get yourself some friends and you'll be happier is what Cole's trying to say. But, in true Cole fashion, he can't just say it directly. He speaks around the sentiment, hoping that it will connect. Lambert thinks he's alone, Lambert thinks that no one else has shared the pain he had and yes that might be true, but they were at Skyhold! This place was bursting at the seams with pain, so much so that it threatened to overwhelm Cole at certain points. Find someone! Talk with someone!
