I was more concerned with her health than my own. [ Do not call him that -

he winces. ] She was more comfortable away from the spirits.

[rowancrowned]

You are kind.

[ he exhales. ]

As were many, I think. It was easily handled, in the end.

[dirth]

[ I am not - ]

So it seems. The Veil was repaired.

[rowancrowned]

You are well?

[ from the loss, he means. ]

[dirth]

Fine. I was unconcerned.

[rowancrowned]

Was it pleasant?

[dirth]

It was familiar.

[rowancrowned]

Is the familiar not a comfort?

[dirth]

It was not the same. Imagine an echo, a reflection.

[rowancrowned]

A diminishing?

I am familiar.

[ intimately. ]

[dirth]

Something of that kind, yes.

[rowancrowned]

I enjoyed it.

[dirth]

That does not surprise me.

[rowancrowned]

I am boring now that I am married.

[dirth]

Or perhaps I know you.

[rowancrowned]

Are we still at the stage of 'perhaps'?

[dirth]

Circumstance has proven the necessity of 'perhaps'.

[rowancrowned]

You know me. I have not done you the kindness of lying.

[dirth]

You have done me another cruelty.

[rowancrowned]

[ tiredly: ] Solas.

Must we go in circles?

[dirth]

No. Perhaps that was unjust of me.

[rowancrowned]

Have you given any thought to the matter of the next Divine?

[dirth]

It is not something I find myself particularly concerned with, no.

[rowancrowned]

[ gently: ]

It may not make your life easier, but the choice of which woman sits the Sunburst Throne might make it less difficult, in coming years.

[dirth]

Who do you recommend I decide to support, then?
