I would like to have a portrait of you sketched for publication.
( there is a small pause. this would be easier if she'd asked thranduil - she's sure he'd agree if only to swan around about winning an argument she pretended not to notice they were having.
that's almost entirely why she's not asking him. not exclusively; there are other reasons to do this with galadriel, not least of which being she rather thinks leliana would like it, but. it's not irrelevant. )
I don't know if you're aware; my name is Lady Vauquelin and I have begun publishing an editorial on Skyhold. Sister Nightingale proposed that I might write on the subject of rifters - and what they are not. I have reinforced some of those points by using diagrams and notes given to me by Knight-Commander Norrington, but I think that it would be ... striking and -
To draw a sharp comparison. Look at this demon. Now look at this pretty lady, who is obviously not a demon. See her face and think of it when you think of what a rifter is. You see?
( her personal views on rifters, demons and fucking elves are not without a great deal of complication and in large part much less charitable than those she is prepared to espouse on behalf of the inquisition, but ... she does feel strongly about what she's doing. about the support that she is trying to create. and leliana is right; either they must be seen as trustworthy or they must not be spoken of at all, and frankly, the latter is not an option. )
