#note that these are the default thoughts he has about said companions + advisors unless we plot otherwise

Sylvan's opinion of the companions and advisors (Inquisition edition)

Cassandra - Sylvan is legit a little terrified of Cassandra, mainly because her reputation precedes her. This can soften up later on as they get to know each other better.

Cole - This might honestly be the most chill combo. Cole wants to help, Sylvan just wants to peacefully bake, things could work out really well. Sylvan just...needs to get used to Cole reading the minds of other people, that's all.

Solas - Sylvan just kinda tiptoes around Solas, unsure of what to do. Like - yay, he's helpful, but...he's so mysterious? What does he do? What the heck is up with him? (Cue the events of Veilguard happening later and Sylvan immediately not being thrilled with the other's actions.)

Iron Bull - He's slightly wary of Bull (especially if Bull's personal quest isn't done yet and/or if he sticks with the Qun vs. going full Tal-Vashoth). However, Sylvan does know that the Bull is handy to have around in battle - he just makes sure to keep an eye on him in case things go south. However, if Bull does go full Tal-Vashoth, Sylvan does relax around him a bit more, more assured of being able to trust him.

Sera - Sylvan will be a bit irked by Sera's pranks but ultimately he starts a prank war with her. Chaos ensues.

Dorian - Issues with their parents? Both have issues for sure. Yeah, Sylvan and Dorian will have a lot to talk about that, especially if Dorian were to accompany Sylvan on his personal quest.

Vivienne - Sylvan probably likely won't get along with her too well, partially because of their class differences and also because of Sylvan's differing opinions on mages than her (especially given that his own sister is a mage and may or may not be killed by the Venatori depending on his personal quest). He'll try to at least come to some understanding of why Vivienne does the things she does but it doesn't mean that he agrees with her.

Varric - Sylvan is down to learn playing Wicked Grace and also read Varric's books during downtime. He finds Varric a bit easier to talk to in general.

Blackwall - Again, another person Sylvan is just like...carefully tiptoeing around, similar to Solas and Cassandra.

Josephine - Another chill combo. Sylvan can make sure that Josephine eats in the midst of all her work, given his baking skills. He'd also be interested in hearing more about her past and current motivations, as both of them are just trying to restore what's been lot to them.

Cullen - Sylvan tries to just stay out of Cullen's way, knowing that the other is busy, but he will remind him to eat and/or drink something occasionally. Can't have him collapsing while on the job due to hunger, after all!

Leilana - Sylvan might probably ask her for advice on how to better his skills with stealth and knives.
