True...
[Though it's so strange to call Solas an 'enemy' so he just sounds kind of guarded as he agrees.]
If Solas appears here... I am not certain how I would handle such a thing.
[He knows it would wreck him emotionally, at least. But saying that is admitting he has emotions.]

Don't dwell on that now. There is nothing to be done about it and you can put that energy towards other matters.
You have books from your world here?
[Yes. That is interest in his voice. He would very much like to read them.]

So if I read this story then I should ask you what is true and what has been...enhanced.
And you can believe the general events.
For example, when the story says I went to a ball, exposed a traitor, and forced all parties to form a treaty - That really happened. When it says that part of me doing that was seducing all of the elven servants and then dueling a highly trained spy... That's some exaggeration. There were fights, but very few of them were difficult.
And most of the elven servants were too traumatized by all of the murder to be interested in my charms.

Elves? Is this another race in your world?
Elf is what I am.
The Dalish part is a type of elf. There are also elves who live in cities. They are sectioned off into poorer parts of the city and only really find work as servants or such.
[He pressed his lips together for a moment. Clearly, he had a lot of feelings on the subject.]
The Dalish live in the wilderness instead. We say it is because we revere the old ways and refuse to bow to the humans, but it also means that most Clans are isolationist and look down on those who are stuck in the city.
I was never really comfortable with that line of thinking.

So you are Dalish Elf? Is that correct?
[He's already committing that to memory.]

I would not use these idioms even if I was aware of them.
If I hear that then I will correct their behavior.
[Probably not in a pleasant manner. Actually...definitely unpleasant.]
[Probably not in a pleasant manner. Actually...definitely unpleasant.]
There are no specific names we are called. It is simply a general mistrust and hatred for the Galra in general. I would not be concerned with that though. We understand their hatred of us.
[He looks at him. There's...comfort in that embrace. It's...good.]
I know.
I know.
