Cullen is surprised by a knock at the door. He's expecting some sort of further horrible news -- Rainier's broken out and killed Briala --

But no. It's the illuminated books he bought last night.

He pages through them carefully, and thinks -- and realizes he'd rather take care of the things for his siblings by himself anyway. And it's a knotty enough problem that it'll occupy his mind. There's no chance Alistair will return before dark.

"And if he does," Cullen says under his breath, shrugging out of his armor and shrugging on his new jacket -- the better to attempt relative anonymity with -- "better I wasn't here anyhow."

It's not even noon yet, and Cullen's gone to work.
