It's already quite clear that Kieran isn't stupid. Rather the opposite.
And Alistair... isn't at his best.
So before Kieran can react, Cullen says, still quiet, "When extraordinary things happen in the world, people who might not otherwise have much to agree upon learn how to work together. It's happening now, in the Inquisition, and it certainly happened during the Fifth Blight. The work your mother does is very important, and we all know that, and appreciate it, and we're very glad to have both of you here."
Kieran's gaze flicks to Cullen. "She said you were a templar."
"I used to be," Cullen says. "Not any more."
"Templars don't like magic."
Half a smile; Cullen glances at Alistair, then back to Kieran. "It's a little more complicated than that. But I believe that mages and templars, and former templars, can be friends. And good allies. Sometimes that takes a little work. But it's worth it. It's important."
