She nearly interrupts him, pales just so as she imagines him with the ring, imagines anyone with it. He kisses her hand and it is a struggle to keep her grip from tensing again. This must be said delicately.
"The rings of power are very dangerous, Solas, even mine," she begins and sounds a bit faint in her open worry. "None should be used lightly--this place is changed for it, and Thedas has power more overt than Arda."
She takes a breath, frustrated with how hard it is to warn him in any sensible way. There is too much she has not shared and it is a terrible hindrance now.
"I would beg you not to be the one who takes it back...but I cannot. Do not touch it, do not take it unless you must," she says, her voice urgent but quiet. "Unless there is no other path.
"Once you have worn a ring of power, you can never be free of it, not truly."
She leans more heavily upon him then, lets her eyes close and all of the tension starts to leave her. She cannot maintain it for too much longer.
"If you wear it, if you must use it, be cautious. It will consume you. They consume all those who wear them, regardless of their intent."
