[ 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.

This war council - they're in Skyhold, correct? How close are they that they can affect what happens in Kirkwall?

[He knows his questions are endless, but it's only because Obi-Wan is actually supplying him with context. His impatience also translates into a thirst for information. He needs to know what they're getting into and just how hopeless it would be to fight back, if it truly is.]

What the Sith taught me kept me alive, unlike the Jedi.

[Yeah. He may hate Snoke but at least he hadn't killed him. Yet. He and Rey had taken care of that themselves.]

Aren't Jedi about maintaining balance? How is waiting maintaining balance?

[hello_there]

There's time yet.

[For Obi-Wan to strangle you himself, for fuck's sake, Kylo Ren? Ben Solo? Ben kriffing Skywalker, more-like.]

Bringing balance. [It's a subtle distinction.] How is waiting part of knocking an impatient young Force-user on his back?
