Alistair settles his arms more comfortably around Cullen as he thinks.
"You might be surprised to hear that they weren't friends right off. Geoffrey can walk a very long distance without tiring -- that's the good part of being made of wool -- but the bad part is that he has to stay out of the rain. If he doesn't, he'll be soggy for days and hardly be able to walk at all.
"And one day on his voyage to find the other small, soft golems of Thedas, what should happen but a terrible thunderstorm. Geoffrey dashed for a cave to wait out the bad weather -- and who should be inside but a pair of nugs also taking shelter from the storm. And nugs, well, they see 'wool' and they think 'warm,' not 'golem.' One of them tried to nibble on his arm to see if she could gnaw a thread loose.
"'Hey!' said Geoffrey. 'Stop that!'
"'You can talk?' the other nug asked.
"'Of course I can talk! I'm a golem!' Geoffrey drew himself up to his full height of approximately eight inches tall, which didn't even brush the top of the nugs' ears. They looked at each other, then at Geoffrey, then back at each other, then back at Geoffrey.
"'You can't be a golem,' one said. 'You're too small.'
