Except what I have already asked, nay, demanded of you? You will do whatever you wish and nothing more, as has always been your wont.
[Her sadness is replaced with bitter anger as she settles her arms across her chest.]
I do not fear reproach in Thedas for being your kin. Do you think I have not suffered for tens of thousands of years for our association? Do you not think that my relation to you was not brought to attention by every elf who disagreed with me? By the family of my own husband?
[She scoffs then and it is not a pretty sound.]
Still I carry the weight of our association, whether you approach me in public or not; the burden of you and your choices are ever upon me cousin.
No, what repulses me now is not the shame of you and your decisions, those I have long ago resigned myself to.
You dared to question me. You who has failed so grandly in all your life, who claims to love me, accused me of the crime you unleashed upon this world. You cast me out without thought or hesitation and I shall return the favor.
Be gone from me. I have lived all my life without you; continuing shall be no challenge.
