Then, after a moment, "It had been a trying time. We came here and we're spending more time staring slack jawed at each other than helping the Inquisition.

"Ignore him for now if you must. Once we have assignments, he'll focus on that and calm down. We changed our entire lives by coming here, that takes some time to settle into."
