This was not a waste, [ he corrects, in that same, even tone. ] Better that you receive comfort and confirmation in person than think yourself adrift.

[ there are plans afoot. he is reliable enough on that front. but adalia has not wound herself into his life as much as iorveth, or galadriel, for him to risk speaking of these things. what he knows of her heart- the companion she keeps- has not allowed trust to blossom. ]

Right now, action is inadvisable. The Inquisition leadership is not our enemy, we cannot act as though they are.

[ the chantry and the templars, on the other hand. ]

❰ i am adrift, adalia thinks, with less despair than fury. if iorveth has reason to think something is happening and tells her to seek thranduil out, something is happening. whatever it is, she'd bet on thranduil being at the heart of it, and even though she hasn't done anything wrong she's being shut out. no matter how she wants to help, or how useful she could be, none of that matters, because...

who knows. the workings of thranduil's mind are as much a mystery to adalia as anyone else's, and he's barely worth the time it'd take to figure them out. that's that, then. ❱

Madame de Cedoux said something similar, ❰ she says instead of betraying any of that, tone cool and closed off. ❱ I'll take my leave of you now. My thanks for the reassurance.

Patience, [ he stresses once more, to her back as it turns to him when she moves for the door. and: ] We are to travel to the Marches soon, for the Grand Tournament. I hope to see you among the competitors.
