I don't care what your complaints are. I don't care what your position is. [It’s bluntly stated, abruptly clipped of his earlier irritation.]

What I care about is seeing the war, once it reaches Tevinter, empowering people who have long been without it. You can either contribute to that, or you can continue to be convinced that there are monsters waiting for you in every shadow.

[rathercommon]

The monsters aren't waiting for me. They're waiting for them.

[ But - Fine. She blows a breath out through her nose, and says: ]

Give Eshal co-command of your fleet.

[katabasis]

She has it already. As does every other Division Head.

[You know. Theoretically.]

[rathercommon]

[A snort. Yeah, right. ]

Go in front of everyone from Nascere and declare to them that she's the hope for rescuing your home. Give her true command of your ships.

[katabasis]

[This is nonsense and she is, he recognizes for perhaps the first time, little more than a child.]

Give me the names of your contacts and the methods with which you communicate. If you refuse to provide them, I will discuss this with the Scoutmaster and Lady de la Fontaine directly.

[ Kitty's voice sharpens. ]

If you wouldn't trust her to save Nascere - if you don't think her your equal in that quest - then how dare you ask me to trust her to see to the liberation of the slaves? Your little bit of land - d'you think that's worth more than them?

[katabasis]

The names, Miss Jones.

[rathercommon]

You cannot possibly think I'm going to give them to you, Captain Flint.

[katabasis]

Then I hope you enjoy your assistant work in the Research Division.

[Which is the end of this conversation.]
