Before Sina and I actually made the journey to Skyhold, we stopped in the Hinterlands. There was someone there giving out crystals to the recruits.

I ended up accidentally having my first actual conversation with a human. [a chuckle] The distance the crystals provide lets you say things you wouldn't do if you were face to face with someone--for good or ill. I'd never had a shem'len friend before. Would have laughed if you'd told me my first friend in the Inquisition would be one. Wouldn't change it for the world.
