I could tell her. But...at this juncture, I wonder if it would be better if I leave her be.
[ It's been a long time since Cassandra has been so openly hostile with her. Cullen has the right idea of it, to treat it like she is starting again. Which, unfortunately, means walking on eggshells. ]
So long as she doesn't slap me in irons, I can do that. I really would like not to repeat such a scenario again.
[ Even if it is for Cassandra.
But even across the phone, Lavellan's smile echoes his own, and it is incredibly obvious. ]
I'm glad to give people another chance. We've been afforded that opportunity and we're lucky for it. Under other circumstances, I don't know if leniency would be possible. [ And she might not have been able to be the iron fist the Inquisition might have needed otherwise. ] I'm...sometimes glad I am the Inquisitor, if it means I can do these things to help people.
Thank you, Cullen. What you've said means a great deal to me. [ And it's lifted her spirits considerably. ] I cannot ask for a better commander or friend. I trust you'll tell me when-- No. If I should ever become similar to this other Inquisitor. I shouldn't have the title if it means all I am doing is serving myself.
