in which cassandra explains romance novels
Occasionally, Cassandra would read those novels she liked to Cole. Of course, he didn't mind. She liked reading, he liked listening. These things made her happy so he wanted to see what they were and just why and how they made her happy in the first place. And...honestly, they made Cole happy as well. These stories always had nice endings. Dramatic twists and turns, of course, but most of the time people ended up happy. And that, of course, made Cole happy.
However, the fact remains that Cole and his very single-minded way of thinking didn't exactly get some aspects of the romance genre. Most notably, the entire concept of 'will they won't they' as well as the idea of people not telling others things. It's silly. The girl liked the lord of the manor, not the soldier, so why was she even pretending to like the soldier to begin with?
So it's one of those reading sessions, when Cassandra and Cole are sitting in some more secluded part of Skyhold that Cole decides to voice his frustrations. After Cassandra pauses in her reading, Cole decides to ask.
"Why don't they talk to each other?"
Well, he tries to ask, at least.

That look of confusion is still on Cole's face as he frowns about the whole scenario.
"I need to talk to Varric about this." Maybe he could better explain why he does what he does. But...Cassandra is still here. And she's still got the book. And Cole kind of wants to know what happens next. "...but I can talk to Varric after the next chapter."
