I am a little new here, and perhaps I've missed something important, but is it common practice to lock up innocent people, for no reason? I was given to understand that this organization, this Inquisition, is meant to stand as some kind of bastion for all, a saving grace in the face of sure doom. Or is that just pretty words, to hide the truth?

[He pauses, just for a moment, but despite the lack of visual information, it has all the laser-like focus of a nun's stern disapproval. You have been found wanting, young inquisition. Shame on you.]

Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast, for those who might not have heard, seems to have decided that it is appropriate for her to act as judge, jury, and-- well, a law unto herself, concerning the behavior of Rifters. I wonder, with everything else that's happened since my arrival here, if she thinks no one has noticed.

[He means, perhaps, the issue with Anders, among other things. A good strategist knows how to use their shield; the timing wasn't the only suspect thing about all this, but it certainly seemed like a factor, to him.]

I'll get to the point: Galadriel should be freed if she's done nothing, or if she, or anyone else [Not to name names, Gavin Ashara] has done significant wrong, there should be a fair trial, open to public scrutiny. What happened here is, in my opinion, inexcusable.

[She snorts.]

I am not in the habit of saying things I don't mean.

I-- [She cuts off with a 'hmm'.]

My point is, you are safe. I promise.

[she isn't sure what to say to that, so she just - continues on.]

If you have further concerns about Galadriel... Speak to me later. I will attempt to discuss them with Cassandra, but...

I understand. I don't expect you to overturn the decision. But with how vulnerable the elves feel and mage freedom a consistent question, it earns the concern of many on both sides.

For now, I'm a bit less worried. Occasions like these make me glad I don't involve myself in politics much, frankly.

[There's an uncomfortable twist in her stomach, when she thinks about mage freedom.

... But Fate is different, she decides, pushing it aside with full force. He's proven himself. If he had been in her circle, he would be free to roam around Thedas at will, regardless.

She tries not to think about the kind of freedom that would entail. Instead, she says:]

... I am glad if I was of help. I - am not a politician, either. That much has been made very clear.

Of course you are.

Can you imagine either of us? Getting involved in politics. Everyone would lose their minds.

[She snorts, lowly.]

I would lose my mind, first, far before they did.

But you - yes. You would drive everyone mad. Though it would be highly amusing.

Oh, I certainly agree. Thankfully for everyone, I'm fine with just sitting away in the tavern wasting everyone else's time there instead. [He chuckles.]

[There's a pause, on her end, where she smiles to herself, and perhaps because she is alone it is a little wider, a little fonder than normal, and she doesn't catch herself. So the timber of her voice changes slightly, when eventually she speaks.]

Is that where you are now?

wickedchase: (well that's all right)

Indeed. With a tankard of brandy and some paperwork to finish.

Plan on visiting?

Mm. I may be a few minutes, but I could use a glass of wine.

Expect me.

[And then she's gone because what are goodbyes but she turns up a little later with her sketchbook to hang out and draw masks while Fate works on his paper work.]
