Can Cole read your character? let's say most people can read him like a book. That means Cole can read him like a TV
If Cole reads your character's pain, what will he find? Anything in particular you want him to zero in on? (Feel free to be esoteric, too! What sights, sounds, smells, tastes?) Massive anxiety about failing Tevinter/his mother/the Magisterium mixed with equally massive anxiety about failing Riftwatch/Byerly in particular. He spent some time in the dungeon here and has a kneejerk terror reaction to being confined, hates damp & cold and feeling abandoned and worthless, etc. This feeds into his general fear of the way mages are treated in the South, even if he hasn't personally experienced it.
Also dealing with being into Only Dudes and that's not something he's allowed to be back home-- lots of pressure to take over his mother's seat in the Magisterium, get married, have babies, not fuck it all up. He has a wildly unhealthy relationship with his mother, whom he has always bent over backwards to please and never measured up. THERE'S SO MUCH SORRY
Is there anything you DO NOT want Cole to mention? (CWs and such) nah
Can Cole make your character forget him? Definitely
Can Cole make your character not see him? Yes
Anything else you want me to know? Bene might get mean about it if Cole pokes at him, he's very proud and things that shake that pride can bring out the worst in him.
