[Hissera knows that at times like this, company is usually the main thing someone needs, but she thinks Cullen is self-conscious enough as it is without her just wordlessly staring at him.]
My mother had trouble like this sometimes. None of this is anything I haven't seen before. [Mostly. Her mother hadn't struggled with lyrium addiction, but the trauma of the things inflicted on her by the Qun combined with the regular nightmares she suffered in the Fade left her... fragile. She had episodes similar to Cullen, but she didn't battle the effects of lyrium, but of her own splintering mind.
Hissera has never spoken of her parents to anyone in the Inquisition. There's been no cause to, and it's not a topic she makes a habit of bringing up. She's sure that Leliana already knows everything worth knowing anyway.]
