( Fewer people have had to be pointedly reminded of that fact, now that she has a separate residence and is no longer obliged by location (Skyhold) or political necessity (Kirkwall) to abide under their roof, but it's certainly been a point of contention before - what she can and cannot be forced to do, what she must be asked to do, what she says no to.
She sees no contradiction in her refusal to join the organisation and her support of it, her insistence that rifters must if they wish to be respected - she isn't one, she has nothing to prove. The Inquisition is a flawed, frustrating behemoth with many heads, but it's also the only organisation working to prevent hell on earth, so in the absence of a better option, everyone should be supporting it.
Behind her, a tall shepherd dog pads slowly down the stairs to find her side; sufficiently accustomed that he doesn't startle when it's the hand with its dull green glow that finds his head and scratches his ear absently. )
