So -

[ Kitty sounds, in her usual mode, sensible and direct. ]

I've been listening, and I've not heard much chatting about the election of the Divine over the crystals, which makes me suspect that everyone's doing it privately. But it seems to me that this is the sort of thing which we ought to be talking about as honestly as possible.

So - who's the best candidate? In your opinions. And what can we do to make sure the dreadful ones don't win?

The path that could create for us a viable ally in Nevarra for the work we have at hand today.

[galvanising]

The 'ally' part is more important than the 'Nevarra' part. Agathe is ambitious but cautious. She'll use the tools at hand but how do you think someone like that will be disposed toward an Inquisition full of mages and pirates and other undesirables? Elise would actually support our ends.

[ deadpan: ]

What pirates?

[katabasis]

The Inquisition's arm in Kirkwall is hardly representative of it's entire body.

[No offense Coupe, but you're overseeing a fortress full of degenerates.]

[galvanising]

Skyhold has hundreds more mages, but all the same. Easy to force it to shed those elements then, isn't it?

[katabasis]

[So much for getting the last word in public.]

[limier]

How do you expect to be shed, Knight-Enchanter?

private

[galvanising]

You're ready to kill the Archon but you'd vote for a sensible moderate?

private forever

[katabasis]

What good would Elise do you? Pretend that somehow the very fact that there is someone called Divine is enough to martial some sense of unity against the enemy we mean to fight - what comes after?
