Frost Flowers, In This Heat? BY Morrigan

Kieran was, if anything, his mother's child. 

By that, he believes Morrigan had good intentions but got lost in her quest to learn more about the world around her. He could recall a time when she was far more kind than she had been in the last five years, and though many would call the Witch callous and deceitful, Kieran knew she could be more. 

This quest alone was proof of that. When Cali asked her to try and find a way to help the Empress without the use of blood magic and rituals, she'd decided to acquiesce. She could have told him no, could have waved him off and continued the rituals the Empress so desperately needed to stay alive. But she'd decided to send out an invitation to anyone across Thedas who could help, and for once in a long time Kieran was proud of his mother. 

And since she was trying to do something good he wanted to help. She probably didn't want him there, but he couldn't pass up a chance to help cure Cali's mother as he was one who helped put her in the position she was currently in. So, once his preparations were made and done, Kieran began his trek to the meeting place in the mountains. 

When he arrived, a couple of men he didn't know we're already waiting with Morrigan. He shrugged to himself and stayed to the side, only looking to his mother to give her an encouraging smile of approval. He didn't want to bother her when others most likely had questions, so he was content to stay to the side until he was needed.
