( Her tone is a little gentler; ) Forgive me, I spoke... with a mind focused on the committee itself.
It remains that unless you join that committee, your particular views will not be the final deciding element. Certainly when we liaise with the committee we can reference the site's significance to you in years past, and the value of that chantry to you. When I say it is not our decision, however, I say that we represent the Inquisition, and your involvement in this is as a member of the Inquisition. It was not the Inquisition who lost people to those events, but the people of Kirkwall and its chantry. That is why it is their committee who must decide and we who must support that decision and conduct ourselves respectfully, not doing what we feel is the best thing to serve their grief.
