Viddathari. [A clumsy word in Araceli's mouth. Qunlat more straightforward than most of the other tongues but something about learning it now makes her stumble over it.] How much of what he ever told me was a lie? I thought I always knew when someone was lying to my face - if what you're saying is true...
[She doesn't want to think it's true. Hurtful as it would be, it would be simpler and easier to have it be a teenage boy choosing to carve his own path she thinks as she allows Lux to press his face up under her chin.]
He's already involved. He knows. You say spirits don't see the world as we do, how can you be sure how far it would spread or not? Would a spirit understand the same necessities as you or I? A bigger picture, that there are politics and lives and stakes? [Araceli's voice climbs but there's an irrational itch in her mind that has her curling her left hand because-- because it has a thing not a part of her, a thing that's the Fade, a thing that's connected to spirits and demons in some way.
(And there was a boy, wasn't there? In Skyhold once there was a boy who said something about more and connections and the song but her head hurts to remember it.)]
People could die if we do. [There isn't a pleasure in stating it as she reaches out with her right hand for Korrin but some part of her, the selfish part most likely, the part that does resent Thedas, resents being part of this war that's fed by a need for pettiness and spite and blood and people who cannot put their bitterness and vendettas aside and move on, doomed to repeat the past again and again and again drives it. The apology is on her face.]
The way I see this we have two options for part of it. You either tell people your suspicions which can allow for the possibility of it getting out not because they would talk but there is still that but because you cannot ever guarantee that there aren't ears though people knowing would mean they would know what to look for. But they would perhaps be at more risk if Kas learned. If they didn't know then they might not know exactly what to look for but it might not be seen as them putting him at risk. Though it might be betraying their trust anyway to put them at risk. I don't know. I don't know enough about the Qun and how it operates to understand it entirely but the more people that know a secret, the less safe it is.
