The cats are afraid, at first. Cole understands. People aren't kind to them, after all. They view them as vermin, cluttering up their beautiful city streets. These cats have survived so much, to be in a place like this. A place where they do not belong, but are trapped anyway. He knows that feeling so acutely.
The cats are afraid, but after a couple moments of gentle coaxing, a few come forward. They rub against him, eating the food from his hands with soft mewls.
He's so caught up in the rush of joy he felt that he doesn't notice her walking up behind him. That's jarring - back in Thedas, he would have heard her coming. He would have heard her thoughts, her intentions. Here, in the Capitol, he feels almost blind.
"But they were hungry..." and it's probably the best approximation of how Cole screws up when he tries to help. Always well-meaning, but good intentions don't mean much.
so cute......so powerful...........
