"It's not like-" Ugh. Is there any point trying to explain that there's nothing wrong with him for expecting not-Cullen to be a blue-skinned woman? Probably not.

If it's not a weird game of Mystique's then he's back to square one.... At least until Cullen decides to introduce himself and make it clear it's not just a terrible joke. Or anyone's twin or anything. Cullen has just lost his mind. Well, that makes things much simpler.

"'A few things'?" Alistair shakes his head in disbelief and scowls at the other man. That's more than a 'few things' that just 'slipped his mind' right there. "You are from Ferelden. We both are! Why would you- How could you have been here your whole life? It makes no sense. You couldn't have been born here so you must have come from somewhere else, right?"

Actually, this is creepy if he stops and thinks about it. If the Commander really believes he's been here his whole life.... Do they all need to worry about getting brainwashed into good little Wonderland residents? Is that a thing that could happen?

Just what he needed.
