Provost, I apologise for interrupting you during what I can only assume is a busy time. ( Because, well. Everything.)

Do you have a moment to speak?

Assisting others is my job, there is no need to apologize.

How can I help?

Thank you.

Adalia. She is a rifter with whom I believe you have some familiarity, and with whom I butted heads with earlier in my time in the Inquisition. ( Irritation about the lack of mage division heads, etc. That old chestnut. )

Are you... aware of her current emotional state?

Ah, [ he says, and leaves it at that as he mulls over what to say, what someone else is entitled to hear.

after a moment: ] I am. I fear my attempts to divert her, let alone comfort her, are entirely unwelcome. You would do far better speaking with my betrothed, who she will, perhaps, value the input of.

But my lady may not be in the mood for it.

Interestingly, she said she had gone to you to request help with her present state. And Gwenaëlle, and Solas—

( A sip of wine. )

I can't pretend to being an expert in... managing emotions or conflict. ( Well. ) Or, rather, managing emotions and conflict of people with whom I share a personal dislike. Why torment both parties, you know?

( so like.... Thranduil.... buddy.... please help her out..... please carry her away......... like rifter solidarity or whatever......... please buddy.......... buddy, pal, best friend that she decided was her best friend about 2 minutes ago............... )

She has made it clear that my attentions are not welcome, and I will not push her, both for her own sake and for my health.

[ he considers. marisol is welcome to set the soundtrack for that, he helpfully provides the sound of rustling papers. that he does not hang up is likely indication that he will not, or is biding his time to risk a second question. ]

Does she seem a danger to herself or others?

Strange that she claims you as someone she sought assistance from, no?

( Marisol doesn't doubt him. It's just... odd. )

She has magic. I believe mages are not at the mercy of their magic but... Instability could be a danger, yes.

I would rather not deal in hypotheticals, as the historic options for 'mage expressing a great deal of emotion' are so very, very rarely positive.

[ casimir, in the other room, an example of the consequences if not the reason for which he was so changed. ]

If you think her likely to be receptive, I will try again.

I'm grateful. It's something that I think could be foolish to forget, when someone is new to this world and is in a distressed state.

Receptive might be too strong a word. I'll talk to Gwenaëlle, perhaps we can brainstorm.
