Knight-Commander Norrington provided me, rather generously, with copies of the diagrams and notes that he has used with his men for training purposes. The better understanding of demons and how to fight them. The notion of including a portrait just sort of struck me as I was looking at them. A contrast. Demons can be defined and diagrammed and noted upon. People, on the whole, cannot.

( her laugh is brief. ) Well, not philosophically, I don't speak for physicians. But nobody in Orlais need be as acquainted with you as your personal healer. And people aren't puzzles to solve, or to slip into neat arrangement -

But a face. A face is something that a person has. Eyes are something that you can see yourself in.

( a diagram of a demon is to frighten and educate. a portrait of a woman can be empathised with. )
