[ thranduil's voice is tight, if still somehow pleasant: ]

I understand that there are a great number of questions and concerns at the moment regarding the Inquisition's proposed policy of phylacteries for Rifters.

If there are concerns that anyone would wish to make known through official channels, the Research Division has been appointed to handle the research of this new, proposed policy. [ very pointed stressing. ] My office is where it has always been, and any concerns should be turned into the box reserved for correspondence of that nature.

I would remind all Rifters that we are yet considered a single unit. [ remember the curfew? ] That poor behavior will affect all of us- indeed, anyone currently afflicted with a Shard. I would advise them that this is never as true as it is now, and that consequences for actions taken in the heat of the moment are the same as those made when rational.

I am not sacrificing my work for this. It will not come to either of us needing to make public professions other than the ones we are required to. [ a gesture at the papers she has put out of sight. ]

I offered myself to the Inquisition. Corypheus is far more important than whatever politics the Chantry wishes to involve themselves in.

[ said very eloquently. so far. give him the bottle back he's reaching for it. ]

It is not a monolith.

[ the chantry. has never been — is less than chunked gravel now. it will be whole again; not hope or desire so much as promise. it will be whole again, if she's still the hands to rebuild it.

hands. right. she passes back the bottle. ]

Any faction willing to work with the Inquisition is willing to take risks. Speak with the mages, determine who brought which demands. Was it pressure for other points? Conviction in your danger? That which was lost — and when — need inform your approach.

[ she's not suggesting he try to trade back concessions won (what a clusterfuck that would be), but to examine which feathers the inquisition need smooth. ]
