( there is a necessarily bracing pause before she says, ) I would be glad to meet with you. My previous edition is already available in Skyhold - perhaps you might have a look at it and we could discuss it.

( for all that she's clearly making an effort, she also sounds noticeably less enthusiastic about the prospect. )

But I don't intend to make such a chart. You are - people.

( probably. )

People shouldn't need a chart made to demonstrate their component parts in order to be seen that way - I think that it would undermine the message ( 'the' message; not her message, necessarily ) to do so. I think it would validate the idea that you must be proven.

What I mean to do is show the foolishness of that thinking.

( her own private reservations about trusting them are just that: private. she might not share the trust she's prepared to advocate for them, but what she does trust in is the inquisition, and if leliana is wrong then it's on leliana's head be it.

people shouldn't be afraid of the only solid attempt to protect them because of some - some -

... people. )
