"I know." She said, because he was right. Because people do change, and Anders changed. She was taking a risk based on hoping that someone who didn't even know her personally would be loyal to a different person, and an order that he abandoned. But she couldn't deny him the right to at least be given a chance.
She wanted to ask what Cullen would have done. Hadn't the templar order all gone kooky after Kirkwall? What would he do, faced with one of his old subordinates? But that might be a sore spot that she didn't want to press, because she still wanted Cullen's friendship. And she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be willing to make the sacrifice that she couldn't.
"Thank you, Cullen. Please, look out for Alistair if anything happens..." She sighed, looking off. "I know you don't agree. And you have the right to that. But. It's not easy for me to just give up on my companions." Hadn't she run across Ferelden, through dragon pits and deep roads, just for the possibility to find Morrigan? A year after she had disappeared? A thought broke through at that, and she sat up suddenly, turning to Cullen.
"...Speaking of apostate companions that took off right under my nose. You have Morrigan with you, right? She's got a child, right? Right around Bayard's age." She must, for Alistair and Cullen's Hero of Ferelden yet lived, unless Riordan had managed to survive to kill the archdemon, somehow. Which was doubtful. "Have you met him?"
