The sharp mountain air of Skyhold bites at the exposed stone, but Cassandra seems not to notice. She sits alone, her focus entirely consumed by the book in her hands—not a report or a tactical ledger, but a well-worn copy of Varric's *Swords and Shields*. Her brow is knit in concentration, her lips slightly parted as she reads. Only the crunch of gravel underfoot finally breaks her spell.

She draws a sharp breath, visibly gathering her scattered dignity.
