[ The tone here is quite amused, even if the topic is not particularly...amusing. ]

So, now that we've all woken up, I'm sure there's just one question on everyone's mind. What are we going to do with all you naughty little boys and girls who are dreaming about joining the Venatori?

It's clear you know what it is already. You might have answered it by now.

[katabasis]

And have whatever I might say understood as an effort to persuade and manipulate you? Why bother.

[To Byerly:]

Is this your concern too? My part in this.

[bouchonne]

[ An easy shrug. ]

I just worry that you know something you're not telling us. You are, occasionally, somewhat withholding.

[hassaran]

[ Well? ]

I've been telling you what I know. No, no one is running off to join the Venatori. But between news of desertions in Orlais, the tenor of those dreams, and the dissatisfaction I know we've all seen in one form or another, we would be fools not to offer some reassurance for anyone who might be wondering why they're here. Call it paranoia if that's what you prefer; any captain would tell you the same.
