[ How in the Maker's name did this man always end up precisely where he was thought of last? It was uncanny! And yet, as the days had progressed, Dorian had come to look forward to their stolen meetings. It made this cold fortress of chilled breezes and stone feel a little less lonely, and that he welcomed more than life itself at this point.

His candor, also, was welcome. He'd never had occasion to meet so many elves, and a Dalish no less, but they were all proving to be lovely in their own ways. What had Sera said? "People are people"? Yes, quite.

He chuckled as the man approached, but didn't turn, moving instead back to the shelf he'd been "liberating" of trite propaganda all morning.

Quite the opposite. I'm simply organizing your library in terms of what should be read, and what should be re-purposed as furniture.

[ He pulled a tome from a higher shelf and turned then, holding the book in question. ] Malificar of the North: a study by Sister Rhiani, for instance. [ And he tossed the tome causally atop a stack of others. ] "All mages of the north are evil and poised atop a swaying dais, ready to fall into the lap of whatever demon holds their sway at the moment". In this instance, "mages from the north" are those from Tevinter, of course. This woman's never gone farther north than Orlais. I can assure you. How is your morning?

Don't. I can handle the library. I'm certain you have at least fifteen other things that should be seen to before the propaganda upon your bookshelves.

[ And anything he may request in regards to the library in such a fashion may be seen as "pro-Tevinter" which would work against the already pagan's standing with his people. Dorian already effected his reputation enough. He wouldn't be responsible for more tarnish. He motioned toward the small table atop which he'd been taking notes. ]

I'm already working on a letter to that effect, in fact. [ He laughs lightly at Luthien's flirting. My if he didn't always enjoy their playfulness. It was something like an oasis, refreshment where elsewhere there was only devastation. ] Naturally, as you always find your way to my side. What will people say?

[ It sounded like so simple a thing when Luthien said it: let them talk, it doesn't matter. But it did matter. The Inquisition was seen as an authority, a stabilizing force in a world gone mad. Luthien couldn't afford to divide his people, not when so much was at stake...

...and yet, it was a delight, having that concerned gaze turned upon him, to know that someone, anyone at all, stood with him, that for once, he didn't stand alone. Pariah-hood was delightful in thought, and in occasional practice, but loneliness? No. That...was something else entirely.

You should be more careful with that, you know. The opinion of the people is often what's been opening doors for us.
