❰ adalia is also nodding vehemently, even though aro can't see it. there's a reason he's one of adalia's favourite people here, and it's not just because he has a dragon too.
...okay, iessa is a significant portion. but not all of it! ❱
If you gain any new abilities, hide them as much as you can, I say. Whatever you've done up to now, you have to assume has been noticed and noted by someone, so don't bother to hide it. But if you learn anything new...
Tell me, and we'll go to Sundermount together to test things out. Iessa and Charis can look out for anyone who might follow us and alert us before they become a problem, so you can work on your new abilities in peace.
Fuck trust, if trusting the Inquisition means playing into the Chantry's hands. If you've got to reveal something to save lives, that's one thing. Saving people and doing the right thing is more important than secrecy or protecting yourself. But don't give away valuable weapons just to make the Chantry's life easier when the war against Corypheus ends and their war against the Inquisition begins.
[ Okay. That sounds sensible. Plus, she's agreeing with Aro's
general instinct to play his cards close to his chest, so he's very much in
favour. ]
That makes sense to me. I'm not their enemy, I'm not about to run off and
join Corypheus. That doesn't mean they get to own me. The Chantry certainly
aren't my church.
[ No church is Aro's church, and he's never felt particularly
strongly about religion. This one, however, feels the need to dominate
everyone. He's not going to be a part of that. ]
A list's not the worst thing in the world, Adalia. Do what you have to do
at those talks. I trust you.
